Drizzt Saga v3 released, now BGEE compatible!

Drizzt Saga is a quest mod that brings Drizzt and his companions into the game as joinable characters with their own major quest and side quests, numerous new areas, items (some to be forged) and creatures. It was originally released for BG1:TotSC, later updated to be compatible with BGT/Tutu, and now as of v3 also works with Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition.

All credit for the story and content goes to the original author: Flysoup The full list of changes from previous versions is in the readme.

Listed below is an explanation of the mod's components:

1. The Drizzt Saga (Main component)

This is the core component and must be installed for the mod to work. You will be prompted to install one of two possible versions, which differ in how many of the new areas are added to the game's worldmap (this changes how player will be able to reach them):

a) Default version: areas connected by travel triggers
    This subcomponent works the same as the original BG1 version of the mod: only 4 new areas are added to worldmap, and most areas are connected with travel regions, meaning that travelling between them happens automatically when the player clicks at the appropriate edge of the map. Choose this if you're not planning to install the BP-BGT Worldmap mod later, or if you are not sure what option to pick.
b) BP-BGT Worldmap version: all areas added to worldmap
    This subcomponent makes use of the larger worldmap offered by the BP-BGT Worldmap mod by adding all 8 possible areas to game worldmap. Method of travel between some of the added areas is changed from travel regions to the usual method of manually picking the destination area on worldmap. Choose this only if you're planning to install the BP-BGT Worldmap mod later.
2. Optional component: Raise the XP cap

Installing this component will lift the default XP limit present in vanilla BGEE and Tutu games, setting it at 3750000 experience points for all classes. Drizzt and all his companions are high level characters, and without this component their actual level will not match their current experience shown on the character record screen - the game will "truncate" their experience to the highest value allowed by the current XP cap. This will not affect their in-game performance (level-dependant stats like THAC0, attacks per round, etc. all depend on the actual level of the character, not current experience), but will just look weird when opening their record sheets.

This component is only available for BGEE and Tutu, and is automatically skipped for BGT.

3. Optional component: Delayed Start - Drizzt joins after Durlag's Tower

This optional component aims to improve compatibility (see below) and balance - by delaying the mod's start until the protagonist character has enough experience to be more effective against the high-level enemies and threats introduced by Drizzt Saga. Instead of joining the party right in the middle of the initial encounter with the gnolls, Drizzt will now meet the party after completing Durlag's Tower and can be later recruited in Ulgoth's Beard inn.

This component resolves potential compatibility issues with several mods (see the compatibility notes section in readme for more details) by leaving the original Drizzt vs gnolls encounter completely untouched.

Please note that since the Worldmap mod has not yet been updated to work with EE, BGEE users must choose the "Default" version of the core component when installing.

Hi all,

this thread is meant to provide a guide to all available mods for BG:EE. As we all know, the forums are very active and it's very easy for a new mod to get lost in page 5 a few minutes after being announced. If your mod is not in this list, don't take it as an insult :)

For mod threads not in the list bellow, notify me or post in the thread and I'll update it ASAP.

Just one rule for the mod to be added to the thread:

No direct download links. Respect the modders. If you like their mods go to their threads and give them a like or an insightful :)


If you're looking for information about older mods compatibility, read this thread.

If you're looking for information about how to install older mods, read this thread.

A new section about modding tutorials has been created. Have fun!

Version 1.2 incompatible mods
Right now ALL mods that add kits to the game are incompatible with version 1.2.
Also if you are experiencing crashes in the game, check your portraits folder for "bgee.sql". If you find this file there delete it and the crashes should be solved.

All fixes currently listed unde *FIXES* category are unnecessary if you have version 1.2 installed

WeiDu setup vs. Steam version =(

Hey folks,

I'm new to BGII-modding, and this question might be dumb, but I could not find it yet by searching the forums.

I just got BGII:EE during summer sales, and after googling a little found this page with all those fine mods. As of now, I'd like to get Sarah (which is available for EE from the Gibberlings forum) and the Tweak Pack installed - only, it does not install anything: if I unpack the rar'ed setups to the main folder, setup says it misses the dialog.tlk file. If I put it into the folder where the dialog.tlk is (which doesn't seem right, but was worth a try ;) ), setup encounters another error and aborts. And, last but not least, if I put the dialog.tlk to the main folder (same same, worth trying), there's another error and the following abort.

So, long story short: is there any way how to install mods onto the steam version?


Thanks in advance!

Hi i am running a modded game and I have reached baldurs gate. Everytime i enter the dock my game seems to crash, if i CLUA teleport the crash seems to happen when I get near Entillis Fulsom.

I have used NI to try and locate the problem and EF comes up with all sorts of errors. Is there a way to edit him or somehow solve the crashing problem? I am a rookie with NI but know how to move around

What the title says - Did anyone ever go the extra mile and make all classes functional in the game? I personally don't care in the slightest about ruleset accuracy, I just want to be able to have Dwarves and Half-Orcs with more than a couple of class choices.

Hi everyone - I just got EE yesterday and have been furiously downloading all my favorite old mods (thanks for all the work everyone did updating), but I'm having some issues and wondering if I'm the only one. I'm trying to get UB and DungeonBGone from Pocket Plane Group and the downloads either won't start, or start and freeze up at a fraction completed and never finish. Everything else has downloaded fine. I was just wondering if I was the only one, or if anyone knew of mirrors that had the updated versions somewhere?
Thanks :)

What are the best worst NPC mods?

I've been reading the complaints about some of the npc mods for BG2, and I've decided I definitely have to try a soap-opera-themed game with Saerileth, Tsujatha, and Chloe. Everybody seems to despise them, but honestly they sound completely awesome to me, in a Rocky Horror Picture Show kind of way. Solaufein will make a cameo as well.

Are there any other bizarre or outrageous yet well-developed npc's out there that deserve to be added to this party? Stats or even classes are no issue to me - I plan on nerfing the hell out of all of them, so I'm only interested in their personalities. Also, is there a way to get romances to work simultaneously? I'm considering throwing in the infamous Anomen affair as well, since I've never done that.

Short introduction to WeiDU and simple mod template

January 23, 2013, 1:03 am
$

With the unfortunate proliferation of primitive mods we are currently seeing, I thought it might be helpful to have a simple and straightforward introduction to how to make WeiDU mods. Due to the vast scope of IE modding and WeiDU, this is in no way a comprehensive treatment of what you can do with modern techniques, but it should be serviceable for a fair share of the mods we are seeing posted here. If you then feel like learning more, so much the better.

Short introduction to WeiDU

WeiDU is a mod-distribution tool and mod manager [1] for the Infinity engine. Since shortly after its inception in the earlier half of the last decade, WeiDU is the de facto standard for IE mods (to the point where you had to look under the right rock to find a non-WeiDU mod). Salient features include patching of existing game resources [2], a powerful language for creating (complex) dialogue, automatic backups of game resources for facile mod uninstallations and a scripting system for mod installation and configuration.

You could say that WeiDU has a lot of depth and maybe the WeiDU way (such as it is) can seem opaque and daunting to the novice modder. However, a WeiDU mod need not be complicated. The simplest sort of mod could consist of as little as a file–folder structure and four lines of install script (of which three lines would be largely the same across all mods).

The latest version of WeiDU is normally available from WeiDU.org. It can also be worthwhile to check the forum.

Sample WeiDU mod

A WeiDU mod consists of two things: 1) a mod folder, which houses any files you include in your mod and will house the backups created during mod installation, and 2) a installation script called a TP2 file, conventionally located inside the mod folder. Customarily, the mod is distributed together with a copy of WeiDU itself, but this is not a formal requirement. The copy of WeiDU would be named setup-mod_name.exe, where mod_name is the name of the mod folder.

The mod folder should have a name that is reasonably likely to be unique, since all mod folders exist as sub-folders in the game folder. For example, wisp_item_mod would be a better name for a mod folder than item_mod. [3]

The TP2 file should have the file extension "TP2", have the same name as the mod folder and be located directly inside the mod folder. [4]

Any other files you wish to include should likewise be placed in the mod folder, preferably in sub-folders of their own if the files can be grouped like that.

As a simple example of a WeiDU mod, say I wanted to distribute a few item files for others to enjoy. Maybe I had made some changes, which I felt improved the quality of the game, to these files with my editor of choice. I could call this mod "Wisp's item mod", with a mod folder called wisp_item_mod, containing a TP2 file called wisp_item_mod.tp2 and the sub-folder copy, which would contain my altered item files.

I would write the following TP2 file for this mod (commented for your benefit):


/*
 * Note:
 *
 * Lines starting with double slashes (//) are comments and are completely ignored by WeiDU.
 * They are strictly for your convenience (and whoever else reads your TP2 file).
 *
 * Likewise, text enclosed in matching, reverse pairs of slashes (/) and asterisks (*),
 * like this text, is commented, with the difference that this text can span multiple lines.
 * These block quotes can not be nested. Starting each line with an asterisk is just
 * convention to make the comment look more distinguished.
 *
 * So-called strings are used to enclose spaces and special characters. They carry some
 * significance beyond that, but we need not go into that now. WeiDU has a few notations
 * for strings. Pairs of tildes (~) and double typewriter quotes (") are normally used.
 * Each can enclose the other, but never itself.
 *
 */


/*
 * BACKUP declares where WeiDU should put the information it uses to uninstall your mod.
 * Conventionally, this is a folder called "backup" located directly inside your mod folder.
 * There is no need to create this folder yourself, or take steps to make sure it exists when
 * the user tries to install your mod. This is a folder-path declaration, so there are "wrong"
 * things to write here, but conventional wisdom applies. Note that WeiDU will automatically
 * convert slashes into backslashes and vice versa, as needed. Case is irrelevant (with one
 * exception that is only relevant to installing mods on GNU/Linux).
 */
BACKUP ~wisp_item_mod/backup~


/*
 * AUTHOR declares what information should be displayed to the user in the event there is some
 * error while installing your mod. Normally, it will ask the user to email the mod's debug file
 * to whatever AUTHOR declares. This means it should preferably be something useful, like an actual
 * email address, or some other way in which you can be reached. This is simple text, so there are
 * no limitations on what you can write.
 */
AUTHOR ~Wisp, at some forum~


/*
 * BEGIN declares a mod component, which the user can install. A mod can have multiple components, but
 * must have at least one. The text is displayed to the user when the mod is installed and is printed
 * to the log file. This is likewise simple text, so spaces and special character are completely
 * acceptable.
 */
BEGIN ~Wisp's item mod~


/*
 * COPY is the substance of this TP2 file. COPY declares that WeiDU should copy a file, or the files in
 * a folder to a destination file or destination folder. In this case, every file located in the "copy"
 * sub-folder will be copied into the override folder. Should there already be files with the same name
 * in the override folder, WeiDU will place them in your backup folder and restore them when the mod
 * is uninstalled. This is once again a folder-path (or file-path) declaration, so it needs to be
 * written correctly.
 */
COPY ~wisp_item_mod/copy~ ~override~ //Don't forget to delete the existing files, if you make use of this mod template.

This is barely scratching the surface of what WeiDU can do, but perhaps it can serve as a useful starting point. It is certainly preferable to simply handing people a handful of files, for them to manage themselves. For a more hands-on example, the faux-mod itself can be found attached to this post. Poke, probe and prod it to your content. You can use this as a template for any mod which merely places files in the override (or another folder).

Naturally, I will answer any questions you may have about things I left out, did not adequately explain or just took for granted.

Footnotes

1. Yes, it is a mod manager. It may not be graphical, but it will handle your mods for you if you, say, decide to uninstall the second mod of a set of three.

2. Including the TLK file, which is the single resource containing all of the game's text (save a handful of hardcoded exceptions). The TLK file stands out, because without patching you could not use two mods which both added/altered game text.

3. The folder name should preferably not contain spaces and non-alphanumeric characters, though they can sometimes be used without problems. Conventionally, the underscore (among others) carries no special significance and can safely be used. The name does not have to be pretty, just functional.

4. You may occasionally see WeiDU mods that come with a TP2 file prefixed with "setup-" and/or is located outside the mod folder. These are older practices that are unnecessary and not recommended today, respectively.

Restored BG1 Sounds

I'd like to share my little mod with this community. As of version 3.2, everything should sound good in BGEE, too. Note that I spent way too much time fixing distortion/clipping present in the original sound files so that now you can truly enjoy some of the audio restorations.

Simply put, this is a small mod for Baldur's Gate II and BG: Enhanced Edition which restores some of the sounds used in the original Baldur's Gate for the sheer enjoyment of a bit more complete "that BG experience" many seem to be nostalgic about. In its current version, this mod restores the BG1 spell casting voices, several special sound effects, as well as combat attack and hit sounds.

I've tested my spell patches for BG:EE in a limited fashion, so please report any sound effect issues you might encounter. Also note that I took the selective (and subjective) approach to sound restoration, so if you feel that something still doesn't sound right, or your favorite spells still sound bad in BG:EE, let me know :)

Rogue Rebalancing Invalid Item Names/Descriptions

I recently tried installing Rogue Rebalancing v4.66 (latest) on my Windows Steam install of BG:EE. I downloaded the .exe, pointed it towards my install folder, and picked the components that I wanted. However, it looks like some item/ability names and descriptions are missing. All of the added items have names like "Invalid:32388" for the name and no description (but they seem to be working mechanically). Abilities are the same.

I've kind of pieced together that this is a .tlk file issue with the game but I'm not sure how to solve it. I've tried running the installation .exe as an administrator and it didn't fix the issue. Anything that I'm missing?

[BG:EE GUI Mods] Grey GUI and GUI from BG2:EE

Thanks to a new version of Near Infinity, which can edit PVRZ files, I was finally able to get rid of the blue in BG:EE GUI. The rar file in the link below contains two folders. "Grey GUI" folder contains the recolored PVRZ files and "GUI Tweaks" contains several tweaks - no gaps between buttons under the dialog window, different end dialogue button, smaller gap between bag slots and ground in the inventory screen and slightly realigned record screen (See screenshots below).

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-8z1o_PZqbQOXU5VkdxMDlCSlE/edit?usp=sharing

I also created a GUI mod that places BG2:EE GUI into BG:EE (with minor tweaking). As a bonus, the red gem button that allows to displays nearby items on the ground is now also available.
Update: I have uploaded version 1.2, with several fixes.

http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/1082-bg2ee-gui-in-bgee/

Now, there are GUI tweaks available for BG2:EE GUI as well. Same as the tweaks for grey GUI, it contains tweaked record and inventory screen and no gaps between buttons under the dialog window (see additional screenshots). You can download them at the bottom of this post.

To install either of these mods, just put all files in the respective folders in your override folder.

Well. I believe I did threaten this, and since no one stopped me.

I may have made a start. Be it a VERY minor one.
In the Candlekeep inn, there stands a tall, stunning Mindflayer.

He has no real dialogue yet, not are his stats and abilities final, however, this is a skeleton of what is to come. What I would like to do, over a very long time period, is a full usable, relatively funny and unique NPC with a full banter set and a lot of interjections.That is still a LONG way off and I will require a fair amount of tips and tricks as my dialogue writing skills are... uninspired, to say the least. Even where he is standing isn't where he will end up when I get around to finishing it, but at the moment, it's a start.


(I have a thing for Mindflayers. Deal with it.)

@Southpaw‌ mayyyy want to see this... possibly...

EDIT: If you guys wanna play around with him in his current state, be my guest. He was more uploaded for the funsies value at the moment. I will keep updating him over the coming days and weeks. :)

Idea for a mod - BG1 at higher levels

I got the idea of reading some of the initial posts in this discussion:
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/32657/i-ve-come-to-feel-that-bg2-is-very-overrated-as-an-rpg/

How much work would it require to just "level up" the whole of BG:EE to starting levels around lvl 6-8 (in that area) and continue up to maybe lvl 15-16?

This would mean replacing monsters, giving proper levels to enemy NPC's, changing scripts (bg2/scs) etc, do still have a challenging and fun experience with the benefit of BG1's open area freedom and with the fun stuff of a little more magic, wider range of abilities etc. (and of course adjust the experience gain). This is also the level range I personally feel is the most balanced.

Since I've never even touched the modding parts other than using other people's mods, I have no idea what kind of work would be behind this.

Hi,
I've read that BG2:EE can now import final saves from BG1:EE and get variable values regarding Neera romance this way. I'd like to ask how exactly it is done. I want to check some more variables from the final save. Is it hardcoded or maybe there is some additional new area with script that handle this stuff, before the game starts? I can't find anything new in AR0602.bcs regarding Neera Romance, so the new import stuff must be handled somewhere else.

Hey, I just did the Gromnir fight with BP Ascension installed and Dorn's warning dialogue didn't happen. BP Ascension is the only mod I have installed and just to double check, I uninstalled it and loaded an earlier save. Without it, the dialogue does pop up. Does anyone know if this mod breaks any other dialogues?
