[Tool] QDMULTI: A Library for Multiclass Kits

$
0
0
QDMULTI is a library for mods that install multiclass kits in the Enhanced Infinity Engine (v2.0+).

The newest version of this library is available on GitHub.

Background

Beamdog released the Enhanced Infinity Engine (v2.0) with the release of their original game, Siege of Dragonspear. Among numerous other functionality changes, this patch enabled the character creation menus to display multiclass kits. Unfortunately, any kit that would appear in the multiclass menus would not gain any of its unique class bonuses, due to the way that the engine handled multiclass kits.

This library fixes that problem, and enables multiclass kits to both appear properly in character creation and apply the appropriate bonuses during character advancement.

Usage

If you would like to tie your mod's multiclass kits into the qdmulti framework, then you first need to download the latest version of qdmulti and include it somewhere in your mod's installation files. The .tpa file (qd_multiclass.tpa) can be kept anywhere within the installation files, but the other three files must be kept in the same directory.

After adding these files to your mod structure, you can enable the functionality in your mod's compenents by adding the following code to your mod's installation files (either .tp2 or .tpa).

This line should be included before you use the ADD_KIT function (if you are adding a new kit).
INCLUDE ~your/folders/here/qd_multiclass.tpa~ 
This line should be included after you use the ADD_KIT function (if you are adding a new kit).
LAF qd_multiclass
STR_VAR
kit_name = ~kitname~ //the internal name for your kit (e.g. QDMAGUS)
kit_clab = ~kitclab~ //the internal name of your kit's clab file, without the .2da extension
base_class = ~X~ // this can take 6 values: [F]ighter, [P]riest, [D]ruid, [R]anger, [M]age, [T]hief
mc_dir = ~your/file/structure~ // the directory containing the three files, as noted above
END
Of the parameters utilized, the only one that I feel needs further explanation is the "base_class" parameter. This parameter handles which class the kit abilities will be tied to; if you say that a multiclass kit's base class is fighter ("base_class = F"), then it will gain the assigned kit bonuses from increases in its fighter level.

Limitations

Note that this library is only designed to handle class benefits that are granted through the class' clab file; it will not handle specialist mages' school restrictions, specific kit's item restrictions, or other effects tied to the kit's usability flags.

Furthermore, due to the length restrictions on internal names, the library can only include abilities that have internal names of 7 characters or less. Abilities with internal names of 8 characters (or more) will not be converted during the qd_multiclass function.

Applications

This library is very versatile, and can be used in a variety of scenarios. Some of the things it can do include:
- giving a kit to a multiclass character at character creation (e.g. Swashbuckler/Mage).
- allowing a multiclass character to have one kit for each of their classes (e.g. a Berserker/Priest of Talos).
- allowing modders to implement their own multiclass kits that have abilities tied to each of the base classes (e.g. the Bladesinger Fighter/Mage kit).
- allowing a single- or multiclass character to gain the benefits of multiple kits of the same class.

QDMULTI in Action

Mods that make use of QDMULTI include:
- Eldritch Magic by @Abdel_Adrian
- Might and Guile by @subtledoctor

Permissions and Support

I am publishing QDMULTI so that other modders may make multi-class kits more reliably and efficiently. I do not require nor expect modders to contact me requesting permission to use this library. If you encounter errors while using this library, please contact me so that I may provide fixes and updates.

[Spoilers] SR+SCS crash in Adalon's lair [Spoilers]

I'm playing BGII with SR, SCS, unfinished business, and probably a few other mods.
I got Adalon's eggs from the drow city. When I talk with her everything goes as expected until she changes shape into humanoid form. From there on the game is stuck in cut-scene mode and I can't do anything to initiate the continuation of the dialogue.
Any suggestions?
Attached my last save.

Based off ideas from here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/40393/maybe-this-time-no-reload-thread/p145

This mod adds the opportunity for the player to create an Ioun Stone of Charm Protection (it does the same as the Helm by the same name) by giving Thalantyr a scroll of Dire Charm, a Pearl and 500gp.

Ioun Stone of Charm Protection

This particular Ioun Stone was created by Thalantyr, the almighty Wizard resident of the pissant town of Beregost, for , whom comissioned for a Pearl to be enchanted in such a way it would protect whomever managed to balance it over their heads from enchantments.

The mod ships with a WeiDU executable for Windows. Installs like every other single WeiDU mod does. It should work in every single BG1 platform out there except for vanilla BG1.

BWS-"Please start the game, choose the language..."-Can't instal BG2:EE

Hello all,
I am having trouble using Big World Setup to mod my install of Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition(GOG Version).
I am running both the "Update if Needed" and "Without Update" versions, and I have downloaded the newest version of BWS.

I get to the end, it gets ready to install the mods, and then fails with the message:
"Please start the game, choose the language you like, start and create a savegame"

Of course, I have done this, or I wouldn't be posting. :smile:

Anyway, here are the different things I have tried:
Reinstalling the game(And I have it installed to a "safe" folder. C:\Users\\Games
Importing my BG:EE savegame
Importing my BG:EE Exported Character
Starting a generic game just picking a random pre-generated character.
Saving a Quicksave
Saving a save with a custom name
Re-running BWS from scratch
Continuing my previous BWS setup
Rebooting
Changing the language to Spanish, quitting the game, restarting, and changing back to English

Running all of the steps above in a different order

I have UAC turned off, and have disabled my AntiVirus

Like I said, the game is installed into one of the locations recommended, and the save folders is in "My Documents", where it normally resides.

Am I missing something? BG1 was a piece of cake. This seemed to be going well, except it thinks that I don't have a save game.

Thanks in advance for any help!

A small request

I just finished playing through SoD with Minsc and I really like his new voice lines. Is it possible for somebody to make a small mod that would transfer over his voicelines from SoD to Bg2/Tob ?

I'm thinking of creating a mod, need some advice.

I know there are excellent resources and guides out there, not least of which is Kuylok's Branwen mod. However, I could use some information that I can't seem to find and would appreciate some input.

I plan to start small, of course. I'd add one small area, using existing artwork etc, and make a simple hack-and-slash. So far, so good. But I would like to build upon this to create a series of these culminating in a larger finale, with a quest wrapped around it. I would also like to add some kit/race/gender combination not seen in the games. At the same time, I do NOT want to step on an already finished mod. So:

1) Is there a definitive list of areas that have been added and the access points to those areas? No sense having overlapping caves, for example.

2) Is there a definitive list of kit/race/gender NPCs, joinable but otherwise, that already exist?

Thanks. If this doesn't work out, given how things are, I might just give over the ideas to the community at some point.

LavaIt - IWD: an item pack for IWD EE

ABOUT THE MOD

LavaIt-IWD is an item pack for Icewind Dale EE. After playing IWD for yet another time, I realized I would like to see something new, some items perhaps. The mod was made for me, my friend and our multi-player run, but after a year I decided that perhaps it would be a good idea to publish the mod for those who would also like to give IWD EE another run, but are worried that they will end up with using exactly the same set of items.
You'll find the items in many different places - carried by certain creatures, sold by merchants or left in specific containers. I never made a list of what may be found where and to be honest, after a year I myself forgot where they may be found. That may be even better. You'll need to look for those items, check places, talk to merchants.
Hope you'll enjoy them.
Number of items: ~30

HOW TO INSTALL THE MOD

Just like any other WeiDU mod - unzip it to your main IWD EE directory and run Setup-LavaIt-IWD.exe and then follow the instruction.

Making sure the right party PC speaks

$

When talking to an NPC, we can use the hero of the story or any companion. This creates a dilemma or rather a stylistic fork on the road in that the author of a mod can treat the PC chosen to do the talking as a proxy of the protagonist, and then use all of the specific references like "I grew up in a library," have the NPC address the speaker as "girl" or "boy" and so forth - this is how Baldur's Gate does it; or the author can try to write dialogue specific to the speaker. When Kagain speaks, hearing "boy" requires serious suspension of disbelief. Another issue that can mess up a conversation, as I'm now discovering, is that a PC you reserve for an interjection may be the one you are using to do the talking. I'd like to know how to prevent that. For instance, the conversation may go like this:

IF ~Kagain is not in the party~ THEN REPLY ~Here, good sir, take this 100 gold pieces!~ GOTO NEXT
IF ~Kagain is in the party and in sight~ THEN REPLY ~Here, good sir, take this 100 gold pieces!~ EXTERN ~KAGAIN~ HELLNO

The HELLNO response from Kagain will forbid the speaker from giving the NPC any money - a nice touch from the role-playing perspective. But what if Kagain was the character chosen to talk, so he was the one to say "Here, good sir, take this 100 gold pieces!" ? Is he going to argue with himself?

Seducer Kit for Thieves

$
0
0
I always wanted to be able to charm critters like liches, mind flayers, Irenicus, and Melissan. But for many enemies, it just wasn't possible. I created this kit to change that.

The Seducer kit allows the player to charm quite literally ANYTHING in the game. But like my other kits, this powerful ability is balanced out by some crippling disadvantages--namely, a complete inability to perform the normal duties of a party's thief, and the worst defenses of any class in the game.

I've strengthened the kit due to a weak showing in BG1 during testing. Its nerfed Charm ability proved too dangerous to use given the Seducer's squishiness (4 HP per level and no ability to wear armor), so I've given it the ability to briefly Feeblemind groups of enemies from a distance, even if they're non-human. I've also given it some more interesting HLAs and fixed a bug where using Charm to re-take control over a charmed party member would render them permanently unselectable. Now if a fellow party member gets charmed by a Sirine, the Seducer can simply remove the effect with Dispel Charm.

Unlike previous versions of the kit, this one's abilities scale with levels (all the way up to level 50, in case you play Legacy of Bhaal mode), and has much more going for it than just the ability to charm stuff.

Kit description (there's a lot of detail to this kit):

A Seducer is a thief who acts through persuasion rather than sleight of hand. Socially cunning and politically astute, they develop an ability to forge close relationships with the wealthy, powerful, or merely useful, and navigate complex social orders with speed and grace. Some may use their talents to influence people for the better, propping up and guiding the wise and honest, or exposing and ostracizing the corrupt and the selfish--others use their talents for personal gain, exploiting their allies' weaknesses, and destroying their opponents with whatever means they can.

Despite the name, a Seducer's abilities are more complex than attractiveness or charm. A Seducer uses psionic abilities and arcane magic as well as physical appeal to influence others, and can gain control over potentially any creature with a semi-conscious mind--even those of a different orientation, species, or plane of existence, as well as sexless creatures, constructs, and the undead. No mind is truly safe from a Seducer's grasp; only sheer will and mental fortitude can block the Seducer's influence.

CLASS FEATURES:

- May cast Charm at will
- May cast Hypnosis at will
- +1 Charisma.
- +2 to save vs. spell
- +2 to save vs. Enchantment spells
- Immunity to charm and domination
- 25% chance to shrug off the effects of psionic attacks
- May dispel any charm effect at will
- +1 AC vs. melee weapons

- Only gains 15 skill points per level (30 at level 1)
- Cannot detect traps or set traps
- Backstab does not progress beyond 2x
- Only gains 1d4 hit points per level
- May not wear any armor
- Does not gain Use Any Item or most thief HLAs

CHARM: The Seducer may attempt to take control over any creature within 10 feet, infiltrating their mind and probing their thoughts and desires. The target must make a save vs. spell at +5 to resist the effect. If the save is unsuccessful, the Seducer will wriggle their way into the subject's mind and take over after 1 round. Non-humanoid targets have a 95% chance of avoiding the Seducer's charms outright. As the Seducer grows more experienced, their charms become more effective:

- Saving throw: -1 penalty every 2 levels after level 1, and every 3 levels after level 11.
- Range: +5 feet every 2 levels after level 1, and every 3 levels after level 11.
- The chance of charming a non-human target increases by 5% at level 4 and every 2 levels afterwards.

Thus, a level 12 Seducer may charm any creature within 35 feet on a failed save vs. spell with no penalty, with a 30% chance of affecting a non-humanoid target. Charm is not limited by the Seducer's line of sight; he or she can target creatures who are invisible, behind a corner, or (at higher levels) out of the Seducer's visual range. Charm bypasses spell protections, magic resistance, and immunity to charm.

However, the intense concentration involved in charming enemies leaves the Seducer vulnerable. For 1 round after using Charm, the Seducer cannot attack and suffers a -3 penalty to AC and -50% movement rate.

BETRAYAL: If the Seducer backstabs an opponent while it is under the effects of Charm, the Seducer may attempt to land a fatal blow while the target's guard is down. If the victim fails its save vs. death at +3, the Seducer will kill it instantly, using whatever weak point the Seducer can divine from its thoughts. Every 4 levels after level 1, victims of Betrayal must make their save at an additional -1 penalty, up to -2 at level 17. If the victim makes its save, the effects of Charm are broken and the Seducer cannot charm the target for another 5 rounds. Targets who are immune to instant death effects will still take extra damage on a failed save.

HYPNOSIS: With intense concentration, the Seducer can attempt to control many minds at once, putting all enemies in a 15-foot radius into a state of hypnosis. The targets must make a save vs. spell at +5 or be hypnotized (as per the Feeblemind spell) for the duration, unable to act. The victim may adjust to the attack, however, and there is a 25% chance that a successfully hypnotized target will automatically resist Hypnosis for the next 2 rounds. As the Seducer becomes more experienced, Hypnosis becomes more effective:

- Saving throw: -1 penalty every 2 levels until 8, every 3 levels until 20, and every 5 levels after.
- Radius expands from 15 feet to 30 feet at level 19.
- Duration increases to 1d2 rounds at level 9, 1d3 rounds at level 18, 1d4 rounds at level 27, and 1d6 rounds at level 34.

Thus, a level 12 Seducer's Hypnosis will disable any creature in a 15-foot radius for 1d2 rounds if the target fails a save vs. spell with no penalty.

Hypnosis is not limited by the Seducer's line of sight; he or she can target creatures who are invisible, behind a corner, or (at higher levels) out of the Seducer's visual range. This ability bypasses spell protections and magic resistance. Creatures who are immune to feeblemind will still suffer -2 to hit, damage, and casting time on a failed save.

However, the intense concentration involved in hypnotizing enemies leaves the Seducer vulnerable. For 1 round after using Hypnosis, the Seducer cannot attack and suffers a -3 penalty to AC and -50% movement rate.

A Seducer may use Hypnosis once per round.

High-Level Abilities:
- Psionic Blast
- Psionic Maze
- Psionic Invisibility
- Mental Focus (permanent +1 Intelligence and Wisdom and immunity to maze, sleep, confusion, and feeblemind)
- Psionic Foresight (permanent +2 to saving throws, THAC0, critical hit rolls, and AC vs. melee weapons)
- Evasion
- Alchemy
- Scribe Scrolls

DUAL-CLASS REQUIREMENTS: 13 Intelligence, 15 Wisdom, 17 Charisma

– Hit Die: d4

The Seducer kit is compatible with BG:EE, SoD, and BG2:EE. If you have SoD, remember to install ModMerge before installing any other mods. It will probably be compatible with IWD:EE once the game is updated to version 2.4.

How to apply EFF_Files only when equipping either melee or range weapon

$

Hi guys,

Just wanna ask which opcode should I use to create an effect that only apply when I use either range / melee weapon.

For eg.: Extra 1 APS when using melee weapon.


Is such an effect possible?


I try to to look for similar item effect in BGEE, and archer eyes is the closest but it bug me with its interesting opcodes.


It uses opcode 301 with [0x1, 0x1], which means apply 5% critical chance on this weapon. Does it means the items description doesn't apply since it mention only +5% Critical hit chance on ranged attack. How does the engine differentiate between ranged or melee weapon.


Do enlighten me :)

FOR SOD AND BGEE V2.0 YOU WILL BE EDITING THE BALDUR.LUA AND NOT THE BALDUR.INI


SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options','Debug Mode','1')

1. Enabling the CLUA Console

C:\User\My Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition
Open up the Baldur.ini with a text editor. I suggest ConTEXT as its free and will also enable you to easily edit scripts too.

Add these lines 'Program Options', 'Debug Mode', '1', You can put it right at the top if you like
   
CREATE TABLE options (
section string,
name string,
value string
);
INSERT INTO options ROWS (
'Program Options', 'Debug Mode', '1',
**NOTE** If you are having trouble getting Vista/7/8 to recognise or keep your changes... try either changing the system permissions on the INI file, or another method is to copy out the INI file to your desktop (or wherever), make your edits then save. Verify they are in there, then drop back into your Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition folder and 'replace' the existing one.

Start up your game and either create a new game or load a save. Hit Ctrl+Space
This will bring up a window where you need to type in the following:

New!
Console commands were prefaced by CLUAConsole:, but now begin with C:

Useful Console Commands

C:ExploreArea() Set current area to fully explored

C:SetCurrentXP("[Number]") Set XP for selected characters
Example - C:SetCurrentXP("1000") will SET the current character at 1000 experience points.

C:AddGold("[Number]") Sets the party gold
Example - C:AddGold("1000") will give the party 1000 gold.

C:CreateItem("[Item name]") Creates an item in the leaders inventory
Example - C:CreateItem("SW1H01") will create a long sword.

C:CreateItem("[item]", [number]) sets the amount of charges that an item will have upon spawning it- if the item has charges anyway.
Example -
C:CreateItem("POTN08", 10) will create 10 potions of cure light wounds.
C:CreateItem("amul17", 50) to get a Greenstone Amulet with 50 charges
C:CreateItem("scrl75",99) 99 Identify Scrolls

For quest and other items, you can do an internet search. This Item List; looks fairly complete. Remind me to add in the new BGEE items.

C:CreateCreature("[CRE FILE]") Spawn a creature
Example - C:CreateCreature("GIBBER") will create a gibberling using GIBBER.CRE

Example:
C:MoveToArea("[Area Name]") Move selected characters to an area
Example - C:MoveToArea("AR2300") will move the player to the Friendly Arms Inn.
From @CamDawg - A list of area codes is available as part of the IESDP; use the original BG area codes.

C:WriteScript("[Directory Name]") Output scripts to directory
Note: If the mouse is over a creature, the command will evaluate the scripts attached to that creature. Otherwise it will evaluate the area scripts.
Example - C:WriteScript("DebugScripts") will output the script results to a folder called DebugScripts in the root of your BG install.

C:SetGlobal("CHAPTER", "GLOBAL", [Chapter Number]) : Advance to Chapter X
Example - C:SetGlobal("CHAPTER", "GLOBAL", 2) Would advance to Chapter 2

C:GetGlobal("CHAPTER", "GLOBAL", [Chapter Number]) : Advance to Chapter X
Example - C:GetGlobal("CHAPTER", "GLOBAL", 2) Will display current GLOBAL setting

C:Eval("action") : execute a scripting action. Note that any quotes in the action itself need to have a "\" before them. A list of available script actions can be found in the IESDP.
Example - C:Eval("ActionOverride(\"Cernd\",MoveGlobal(\"AR0406\",Myself,[1368.1922]))") Will move Cernd to the specified location.

C:Exec("filename") : executes a series of console commands contained in the file specified by filename, where filename is in the game directory
Example - C:Eval("test.txt") Will execute all the commands in the file test.txt

Cheat Keys:

I hijacked some of @KeithS stuff and added more.

2.INI Config Settings

You can disable the colored foot circles by editing your Baldur.ini with this setting:
'Game Options', 'Color Circles', '0',

You can now change the FPS settings in the Baldur.ini. This entry already exists as of the 09 patch. *NOTE: Anything higher than what I have listed below will result in destroying the game cutscenes. If you are okay with that, go ahead. Bug reports for broken cutscenes resulting from changing to higher FPS than what I have confirmed to work will be closed.
'Program Options', 'Maximum Frame Rate', '35',

3.Using Custom Scripts

Custom scripts can be assigned to your character via the 'Customize" button in your Character Sheet.

Modding sites such as G3, SHS and Pocket Plane have scripts that you can download and use for your player.

Navigate to this folder and place your scripts below to use in-game:
\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\00766\scripts

You can also use 'Hotkey' scripts to accomplish single or multiple actions that will save you time.
To use 'Hotkey' scripts:
1 - Assign the script to your character.
2 - Back in game hit the appropriate letter key when you wish to activate the script. Simple.
3 - You can use the key as many times as you like.
4 - When finished, unassign the script via the 'Customize' screen by assigning "None.bs"

For those familiar with compiling BAF to BCS, here are some examples you can paste into your text editor to compile with WeiDU, DLTCEP or NI.
Feel free to grab these and use them, change numbers or resources indicated. Have fun.

4.Custom Portraits

Will link to this thread. It has all the correct info.
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/7461/heres-how-to-use-custom-portraits/p1

Overriding Core Portraits

Some people have wanted to know how this is done. Simply take your custom portrait set and rename them exactly to an existing name. Once that is done, put them in the OVERRIDE! Not the Portraits folder.

image

Here I am using the no-name guy to override the ALORA portrait set: ALORAS, ALORAM and ALORAL
Then I can simply select is like a normal portrait. Hope this helps.

5.Custom Soundsets

****Note: Soundsets are not currently working properly. Will leave the instructions below for now until we can discover a fix.

For those wishing to use some BG2 soundsets in addition to what was shipped, it is not too hard.

- Extract the soundset you want to use with any of a number of tools from BG2 (NI, DLTCEP, WinBIFF, etc)
- Rename the next to the last character to 7. ie: FEMALE2A becomes FEMALE7A
- Do this for the entire series of sounds A-Z
- Drop into your \Data\00766\lang\en_US\sounds (or whichever language folder your game uses)
- Start up the game -> Character Record page -> Customize -> Sounds -> Select FEMALE7 -> Done -> Done
Done!

If you would like to add in a custom listing for your sound, you can check out this; thread from @dib

Customization Mod

Here is a link to the Customization Mod that will do almost everything above for you except for editing the INI.

More stuff to come.

BG1NPC v22.7 and BG1NPC Music Pack v6

BG1NPC Project and BG1NPC Project Music Pack have been updated and officially released!

Main changes are BG:EE compatibility for both, and inclusion of "short versions" (30 seconds) of all music pieces in the music pack.

BG1NPC Project
This mod expands on the depth of character and levels of interaction with the NPCs from the BG game. When BG2 was released, one of the major improvements in many peoples' eyes was the increased level of interaction one could have with the party members. This mod was developed to allow BG players a similar experience. NPCs in your party now have banters with the PC , with each other, and small side-quests of their own. As we were unable to get the original character voice actors to voice all the new lines, we instead sought out music appropriate to each NPC to be played whenever they initiate banter. This musical package is a separate, optional package (to keep the download size down).

* Accounting for dialog state order differences from Tutu to BGEE: firebe.dlg, xanp.dlg, hentol.dlg, housg3.dlg
* Added code to update SPELDESC.2DA in BGEE for Camdawg's Temple Fix
* For CREs that use BG2 sounds that are unavailable in BGEE, sound references were updated to sounds available in BGEE (with a few exceptions). Note: Tutu and BGT will still use available BG2 sounds.
* Added x#ogref sounds for x#chop and x#cru in Xan's Turnip Quest.
* Fixes for x#cutspy creating errors in BGEE.

* Updated Open Cloakwood components to work in BGEE. (Isaya)

* Colquetle Family Amulet Fix for BGEE
* Updates to Dynaheir's Journal Quest, Jaheira's Quest, Garrick's Quest, and Montaron's interjection with Ender Sai to enable journal entries to work in BGEE.
* Adding fixes for Safana-Dorn and Tiax-Dorn dialogs preventing PIDs from firing.
* Fix area scripts for AR2400 and AR2900 to not continuously fire when the variable TazokSays = 1. This was preventing blocks added by BG1NPC from firing.
* Updated to WeiDU v237
* German translation available (Teiluebersetzung vom Kerzenburgforum, teilweise noch in englisch,http://kerzenburg.baldurs-gate.eu/)
* Polish translation available (Tlumaczenie przez Children of Bhaal, http://athkatla.cob-bg.pl/viewtopic.php?t=5734)
* General coding updates to modern WeiDU standards (e.g., using GAME_IS instead FILE_EXISTS for game type checks)
* Updated cross-platform libraries with latest fixes for all platforms. (Jastey)
* New variable %tazokminhp% to account for different anti-death items used in Tutu vs. BGT vs BGEE.
* New variable %RunAwayFrom% for scripts to use action "RunAwayFrom()" in Tutu/BGT and new action "RunAwayFromNoLeaveArea() in BGEE.

* BG1NPC romances won't start while CHARNAME is wearing the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity for compatibility with BG1 Romantic Encounters mod.
* Reordered dialog actions to place EscapeArea() command last. * Reordered Dynaheir, Branwen, Coran, Xan, and Shar-Teel dream script triggers to prevent crashes when NPC is dead while resting. (Jastey)
* Ajantis Romance/SCS Wait at Inns component incompatibility fix.
* Added macro ~source_cre_sound_cleanup~ to CRE blocks for cleanup.
* Update Jozzi Seasnake (#seasn) to use Nereid soundset (all platforms).
* Update x#garwyl to use GHAST sounds like a spectre (all platforms).
* Imoen's dialog regarding Gorion's body no longer requires CHARNAME to be holding Gorion's letter. Her script triggers the dialog by the party picking up the letter, but in the time it takes her to walk to CHARNAME, it was possible to read and drop the letter, leaving her unable to initiate the proper dialog.
* Imoen's dialog on Laryssa will no longer interrupt Brage's script to return the party to Nashkel.
* At the Bandit Camp, if Tazok was engaged in combat too quickly, Kivan could be left trying to initiate dialog with him. This dialog would fire after the combat, with Tazok possibily dead. Kivan no longer attempts dialog with Tazok after Tazok is dead.
* Updates for Tiax's Quest to close open quest entries at their conclusions.
* Moved Minsc/Dynaheir interjection with Thalantyr into a new stand-along banter with Dynaheir
* Xan's interjection with Mulahey was copying a "ChangeEnemyAlly(Myself,NEUTRAL)" command to Xan since there is no pass back. Changed to ICT2 to prevent issue.
* Added checks to Imanel Silversword's script to prevent dialog from re-initiating and stop dialog from initiating during battle.
* Montaron was being sent to Minsc's "goto" location in the Elfsong Tavern rather than the Low Lantern with Xzar by BG1NPC's Wait at Inns component. Updating to send Montaron to Low Lantern.
* In Tutu, when refusing Cythandria's surrender, Dynaheir will turn hostile. Danaher's interjection is inheriting an Enemy() action from Cythandria. Only affects Tutu, Cythandria's dialogue state 6 has an "Enemy()" action which is not present in BG:EE and BGT. Solution is to remove the Enemy action() in Tutu.
* Kivan gives his reaction to Prism's death upon entering the Nashkel Mines area even if he wasn't in the party when Prism died. Adding a See("prism") check to script block in kivan.bcs. That should prevent the trigger from firing long after Prism is dead (and the corpse is removed).
* Safana's response to PID option "Do you have any advice, Safana?" References Narlen Darkwalk, even in Chapter 1. Corrected triggers to not show this response until after Narlen has been encountered.
* Correcting "Bruno" DV in x#yeint2.baf. (MadMate)
* Updated item slots for x#david and x#dragon to place items in correct slots. (MadMate)
* The XZNI1.6 dialog in xzint.d has an issue with the conditions. If Montanan is in the party, alive, but disabled (e.g., held, panicked, etc..), the dialog cannot continue. Updating the second transition condition to be "OR(3) !InParty("montaron") !InMyArea("montaron") StateCheck("montaron",CD_STATE_NOTVALID)" which is the opposite of the first transition, ensuring one branch can fire.
* Updates to Coran's Succubus Quest
* Updates to close open quest journal entries at quest conclusion. Added "close quest" journal entries.
* If you refuse the quest initially, Coran no longer becomes instantly "charmed" before he has been given the roses. He has a more appropriate reaction to your refusal of Amelia.
* Scripting updates to account for players force-attacking Amelia. Amelia will now turn hostile and attack the party. If Natan has not been talked to, remove him if Amelia is force-attacked (quest is aborted). If Natan has been talked to, increment X#CoranSuccubus to 13 to allow quest to complete.
* Coran will now become "charmed" by Amelia when in her presence if Natan is "charmed" (i.e., has been shown the roses).
* Amelia was a very difficult battle for BG1, so she has been toned-down to be more appropriate for BG1.
* HP, THAC0, AC, Saving throws updated to be in line with PnP succubus stats.
* Only immune to non-magical weapons
* On BGEE (or Tutu/BGT installs with 1PP Wings), Amelia's combat appearance now has wings (defaults to previous fire elemental appearance on installations without 1PP Wings).
* Updated combat script, inspired by Kirinhale's from TotSC
* Many dialog typo fixes.

-HOW TO DO STUFF IN WEIDU-

$
0
0
In the last year or two, I have picked up a lot of little techniques to mod many aspects of the game. Occasionally people ask me for advice (even though I am still a rank amateur), and I try to help. But rather than answer this question here, that question there, etc., I thought it would be nice to publish a FAQ-style thread with lots of tips and stuff. The goal is, people can pick up this code and drop it into a mod they are working on, rather than having to reinvent the wheel. Every mod is individual and involves individual effort, but say someone want to make stat-based kit effects; I can at least help you drop in to code for handling opcode 326 and splprot.2da, and then you can focus on making whatever cool effects you can imagine.

There will be no particular order for this stuff; I'll publish what I can, when I have time, if the mood strikes.

First up, in answer to a request from @Reddbane: how to make stat-based effects with opcode 326.

Second: how to add kit effects to all kits of a given class (including mod-added ones)

Third: how to target your mod kit with unique effects

Fourth: how to alter class/kit descriptions and not worry about string references

Area Cheats Made Easier (BGEE)

$
0
0
As far as I know no one else has done this at this point. Its possible someone else has already done this, but I threw together a mod for myself to make it easier to jump between major areas.

As many of you know, with the console active you can hit control + space and then click on different SoD areas to jump between the areas on the list. This mod just expands the existing list to include some BG original areas.

Rather than organizing them by area code (which is how SoD handles it) I've chosen to organize them by area in the game. In BG1 especially these don't necessarily correspond.

To install just throw one of the lua files (found in these zip files) into in your override folder.

Users who have only BGEE installed put the M_k9BGEE.lua file in your override folder (this version is not yet tested)

Users who have SoD installed put the M_k9SoD.lua file in your override folder

Anyone who wants to use this as part of a UI compilation is free to do so.

[MOD] Planetouched Races

$
0
0
Spawned from the discussion here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/49575/bringing-tieflings-adding-other-planetouched-races-later-to-bg1-2-iwd1-wip/p1

This mod adds Planetouched Races to BGEE and SoD. Currently, Tieflings and Aasimars are implemented. It is intended that Air Genasi, Earth Genasi, Fire Genasi, and Water Genasi will also be added. All races are based on the Planeswalker Handbook Planeswalker Handbook, 2nd Edition rules, and balanced for BGEE/SoD.
To play as a Tiefling or Aasimar, select elf and then complete character creation as an elf. The Genasi subraces will probably branch off of Human.

Tieflings
Carrying the taint of evil in their forms — and perhaps their very souls — tieflings are often persecuted and feared throughout the planes. The distant descendants of humans and evil outsiders, tieflings are regarded as twisted, devious, and untrustworthy. More often than not, this opinion is accurate.
Tieflings have the following traits:
  • +1 Intelligence, +1 Charisma, -1 Strength, -1 Wisdom; +1 Constitution, -1 Dexterity*;
  • Infravision;
  • 10% Resistance to Cold, Electricity, & Fire;
  • +2 saves vs. Death/Poison & Wands;
  • +2 Melee weapon damage Bonus**;
  • and +5% Find Traps, +10% Move Silently, +10% Hide in Shadows, & +5% Set Traps.
*Because the game treats Tieflings as renamed Elves, and Elves have +1DEX/-1CON, adjustments are made to bring them back to the human baseline before adjusting their other stats.
**This is meant to help out Tiefling fighters. Because Tiefling fighters will never have greater than 17 Strength (this is Canon in the Planeswalker Handbook), a +2 to melee weapon damage will balance things out.

Aasimars
Carrying the blood of a celestial, an aasimar is usually good-aligned and fights against evil in the world. Some aasimars have a minor physical trait suggesting their heritage, such as silver hair, golden eyes, or an unnaturally intense stare.
Aasimars have the following traits:
  • +1 Strength, -2 Constitution, & +1 Wisdom;
  • Infravision;
  • +2 saves vs. Spells;
  • 10% Resistance to Magic;
  • and +10% Find Traps, +5% Move Silently, +10% Hide in Shadows, & +5% Set Traps.


Air Genasi
coming soon

Earth Genasi
coming soon

Fire Genasi
coming soon

Water Genasi
coming soon

The attached file is to be considered an alpha, as only 2/6 of the new races are added. This mod currently works with BGEE and SoD.
It is NOT recommended to use this mod with BG2EE or IWDEE. One person already temporarily broke their IWDEE install.

Thank you for choosing to use Planetouched Races!

Change Log:

0.1:
Original version

0.2:
Fixed issue where choosing the "Aasimar Origin" ability didn't remove the "Tiefling Origin".

0.3:
Reworked the spells so that there are no new spell.ids entries required.

BG EE 2.0 and Siege of Dragonspear Compatible Mods

$
0
0
Version 2.0 of BG EE and the release of Siege of Dragonspear brought a lot of changes to the game engine.

Rather than creating a lot of confusion editing the original compatible mod list thread I decided it would be a better idea to create a new clean thread.

So if you have written a mod that is 2;0/SoD compatible or have tested a mod and found it to be compatible just let me know so that it can be added to the list.

The rule of no direct links stay. Give a link to the mod thread. The modder deserves full credit for his/her creation.

Good modding and have fun!

Attention! GOG/Steam users . If you have Siege of Dragonspear installed you must install this before trying to install any mod.

FAQ Quick Links


Download


There are two different downloads for Keeper on Windows, and one for Mac (in most cases). The two choices on Windows are:- a standard ZIP file, or an (Inno) installer.

Unless otherwise stated, an archive unpacker will be required in order to open the compressed ZIP archive. WinZip, WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc.

The default location for the installer is 'Program Files'. As of Windows Vista, User Account Control (UAC) forbids writing files to directories within Program Files unless the User Account Control feature is disabled. If you use the installer, you can now opt to have the INI file saved in AppData during installation.


Previous versions of EE Keeper can be found on SourceForge.

Mac Wineskin Wrapper - Current Version: v1.0.3.4

Modification Disclaimer


EE Keeper is a save game editor. It can also be used as a character and creature editor. It's not a mod itself, but it can be used to make modifications. If asked by a member of the Beamdog team in reply to a bug report, "are you using any mods?" please be aware that this counts as a mod, as it is used to modify something outside of the game. Most modifications achievable via EE Keeper are harmless, this is just an advisory notice.

Compatibility


Mac: This is a big question for a lot of people. The answer is that it is not officially supported. Some trials on Mac via Wineskin, by @Nifft, have been done and it seems to work, depending on the version - it will be up to others to help with that should any issues arise. More details here. @AstroBryGuy, has recently started creating wrappers for new versions of EE Keeper. Please note that a new wrapped version will be released behind the Windows version; it requires that he gets the latest version and then create and upload a wrapper. For future builds I will be submitting one to him sooner so that he can have it wrapped and uploaded in conjunction with the Windows release.

Linux: Though not ideal, Keeper works with the use of Wine and it functions well enough. To load different languages, environmental variables may need to be set; e.g. Exec=env LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 WINEPREFIX="[location of wine]" wine '[location of file]'.

Windows: The current version should work on everything from XP to Windows 10. If you encounter a problem, please see the details in the next post on reporting any issues you find.

As a final note: just because a new thread is made, and the release is more of a Live/REL version, it doesn't mean that the program is bug free, nor does it mean that I won't be tweaking it any more (I will, and it will be a long term project/hobby). If you come across any issues, or you are in doubt over something, feel free to post and either myself of some other helpful community member will try to help overcome it. If you find something, and you're certain that it's a bug (i.e. portraits not displaying when they should), feel free to create a ticket for it here. If the ticket is not a bug, but a misunderstanding, then it will be moderated as such. Feature requests can also be made, just set the 'Report Type' option to 'Feature Request'. When trying to bring a bug to my attention, please specify what platform you are using (Mac or Windows) and exactly what you are or were trying to do at the time of the bug.

Obviously, like any program, there are bugs and there are people who voluntarily test and people who report bugs. If you've tested this to make sure it works in a beta, you'll be listed here.
