Praise for WeiDU:

• WeiDU is THE way to analyze, modify, and extend dialogue for BG2. If you are a mod developer, or even at all interested in the inner workings of the game, download it, learn it, and try not to feel too guilty about the fact that you haven't been using it for the past several months.
• Once I got NI editor and Weimer's compiler it all started to finally make sense. The scripting language is incredibly easy, and takes no time to learn. Four days ago I couldn't even get a basic dialog working, now I've got lovetalks, npc interactions, in-game events, and just recently even cutscenes. Just need the right kinda tools, and to do it when you feel like it.
• Now that I'm getitng the hang of your WeiDU utils, I have to say that they are the best thing since sliced bread. Absolutely fantastic and a total joy to work with. I'm serious! I have to think that what you've made probably rivals BioWare's in-house development tools, if they aren't already superior to them. They're a joy to work with and it's amazing how fast I'm able to do things that used to take me a very long time.
• Been looking over WeiDU this afternoon. At first, I was bashing my head against the wall, it was quite a leap to learn in terms of dialogue... but now I'm rather impressed. [ ... ] hopefully [ ... ] (a MOD we're doing) will ship in WeiDU format. Great work, great tool!
• Everything works flawlessly, automatic setup is great, and uninstall brings the game back to how it was prior to the install without a hinch. Outstanding. Simply outstanding! Now that's what I call quality software.
• This program prods the proverbial buttock go get it now!!
• now i made a BG1 mod using WeiDU and it works great! easy install, easy distribution and all that. thank you again for a great tool.
• It's a bit rough to learn, but once you get familiar with it, it's a dream. All of the syntax and whatnot just becomes intuitive. Trust me! Just stick it out. :D
• Weidu is fabulous btw, great work. It took me about 24 hours (not working continuously though :D) to teach myself how to use Weidu and then make the test version of my mod. Admittedly it's a very small mod at this stage, but it's still pretty quick.
• (btw, this version compatibility issue is awsome and that's the main reason I finally got to WeiDU).
• Weidu is so much better for dialog writing [than other tools].
• I use WeiDU for Dlgs and Installing because it enables me to work a good 5 times faster than [other tools] ever did (through its script format / features). Yes it is difficult to understand at first. Hell, I had to get examples of the proper .tp2 format from Ghrey and JC (Thanks guys) but spend the time it's worth it.
• Wes Weimer and co - Now that's how MODs should be written.
• I really like WeiDU, great job !
• I gotta say, WeiDU is a great tool man..keep up the great work
• I am also a member of a team that works on [another mod], also with WeiDU. I absolutely love it and find it the only viable Infinity dialog utility out there.
• Iīm a spanish modder, and i have to tell you that WeiDU is great, superb... i donīt have words to describe such a wonderfull tool. I only want to tell you THANKS for all, and specially for updating and adding new resources for WeiDU.
• WeiDu itself is a remarkable piece of work -- I wonder if you've gotten any feedback on whether Bioware's inhouse tools were as comprehensive. I especially like the lean, mean, UNIXy feel of it.
• Since I absolutly adore the easiness of installing/uninstalling feature of WeiDu
• First of all, I just wanted to thank you for the awesome WeiDU script. It makes installing the updates, fixpacks, and tweaks so much easier.
• And on an unrelated note, because it will never be said enough times, WeiDU is a marvel. Just as every modder around there, I don't really know what would we do without WeiDU these days :)
• However and having now the hang of weidu (through the Dos prompt), I must say I am impressed by the speed at which I was able to get an NPC up and talking.
• BTW, I'd like to thank you once again for bringing us WeiDU. Without it, BG2 modding would be a real chore, and probably ten times as difficult then it already is. Until now, I've mostly used WeiDU as an installer and script compiler, but recently, I've had the opportunity to create some rather complex dialogue and was quite presently surprised by its true capabilities. Kudos for creating such a fine modding tool Wes!
