[MOD] -NPC_EE- ... Non-Player Characters Enhanced, for Everyone!

I'd like to announce the first release of my new mod: Non-Player Characters, Enhanced for Everyone. That's right - NPC_EE!

HUGE update for version 2!

Here is the download link:
https://github.com/UnearthedArcana/NPC_EE/releases

And here is a link to the readme:
https://github.com/UnearthedArcana/NPC_EE/blob/master/README.MD

This makes MAJOR changes. There are no more install options to change kits. Instead, there are options to change NPCs' class. There are many fewer components, because there are not as many class changes that work (for lore reasons, I'm not changing Jaheira from druid, or Quayle from cleric/mage, or Kagain from fighter, etc. Side benefit: less work for me! :tongue:

Then, in-game, the magic happens: I've devised a way to generate a script on the fly that will detect any mod kits you have added. Every single joinable NPC in the game will get an innate ability to add a kit, or to switch to a new kit, and they will have options for every kit that their class allows.

It's frakkin' awesome. You can turn Minsc into a fighter, and then in-game you can turn him into a Barbarian!

Also, as if that's not enough, I've also added options for multiclass characters to take a kit. They can only take a kit in one class, so here how it pans out:
- ranger/clerics: choose a ranger kit
- fighter/clerics: choose a cleric kit
- cleric/thieves: choose a cleric kit
- cleric/mages: choose a cleric kit
- fighter/druids: choose a druid kit
- fighter/thieves: choose a thief kit
- fighter/mages: choose a mage kit
- thief/mages: choose a mage kit

So you can turn Coran into a kensai/thief. You can turn Montaron into a berserker/thief. You can make Imoen into a mage/thief multiclass, and then in-game turn her into a swashbuckler/mage.

YES, you can do all of this and more with EEKeeper. But this is much cooler and easier to use.

I'll keep the old v1 main post in spoiler tags, for posterity:

What is this mod?

Well, this is a bone I'm throwing to BGEE players, since the wonderful, excellent, currently-unsupported "Level 1 NPCs" mod does not work on the new engine. I added some rekitted NPC components to the end of my Scales of Balance mod (SoB); but there were only a few options, and many of them relied on having installed earlier parts of SoB.

So, I expanded it such that every NPC that gets options to change will have their own full component with numerous subcomponents that give you different options. The most basic option for each NPC is to change nothing, except to drop them to 1st level so that you can control their development as they level up. (They will keep all their XP and spells, so you can level them up immediately. This option should mimic the "TOB-style NPCs" component of BG2Tweaks, on an NPC-by-NPC basis.)

The other options will change the NPCs in various ways. Some will add a kit to NPCs who were unkitted. Some will change a kitted NPC's kit. Some will actually change the NPC's class. Some will change the class and add a new kit, and some can even add kits to multiclass characters (e.g. Yeslick can be a kitted fighter/cleric; and Alora can become a kitted cleric/thief).

Okay, so what are the options?

Here's the list (class changes noted in parentheses):
Imoen: Swashbuckler, Adventurer (S&S), or Spellfilcher (mage/thief)
Jaheira: Totemic druid, or Elementalist
Khalid: ranger/cleric, Marksman, Justifier (DR), or Corsair
Minsc: Berserker, or Barbarian Ranger
Kivan: Archer, or Stalker
Coran: Sniper, or Swashbuckler
Branwen: Battleguard of Tempus (DR), or Gloryblood of Tempus (fighter/cleric)
Safana: Swashbuckler, or Bounty Hunter
Ajantis: Inquisitor, or Cavalier
Montaron: Assassin (single-class thief)
Yeslick: Alaghor of Clangeddin
Quayle: Hoodwinker of Baravar Cloakshadow (single-class cleric)
Faldorn: Avenger, or Purifier, or Lost Druid
Skie: Assassin, or Shadowdancer
Eldoth: Blade, or Jongleur
Garrick: Gallant, Chorister (S&S), or Meistersinger
Alora: Sniper, Swashbuckler, or Misadventurer of Brandobaris (cleric/thief)
Xan: fighter/mage, Bladesinger (fighter/mage), or Loremaster (bard)
Shar-Teel: Berserker
Tiax: Strifeleader of Cyric (DR)
Viconia: Nightcloak of Shar (DR), or Darkcloak of Shar, or cleric/thief
Yoshimo: Swashbuckler, or fighter/thief
Valygar: Mage Hunter, or fighter/thief
Nalia: Loremaster (bard), or Loresinger of Milil (bard), or Spellbender (cleric/mage)
Haer'Dalis: Jongleur, or Gallant, or Skald
Mazzy: Hearthguard of Arvoreen (fighter/cleric)
Aerie: Fastpaws of Baervan Wildwanderer (but still cleric/mage)
Keldorn: Paladin, or Cavalier
Cernd: Totemic druid, or Elementalist, or Purifier
Kits marked (DR) or (S&S) will only be available if you first install that kit from Divine Remix or Song & Silence, respectively.

Can I change things around later?

Yes. This mod should be installed dead last, after all other mods. After BG2Tweaks. After SCS. Even after Generalized Biffing, if you're playing the non-EE engine and using GB. The whole idea of this is that, after you play a game with Kivan as an Archer, you can easily uninstall that component and reinstall him as a Stalker. If this is the last mod you install, then you can do that many times without disturbing anything else.

I've already changed up some NPCs with your Scales of Balance components (or the NPCKits mod, or some other method). Do I have to uninstall those changes before using this mod?

No - whichever one goes in last should control. You should be able to install/uninstall/reinstall this one on top of anything else you've already done. (I have not tested doing this, but it overwrites the various ckass/kit/HP/etc. fields, so I don't see how they would conflict.)

Great. But, don't take this the wrong way, there aren't many options.

Yeah, I know. I'm releasing this as a beta right now under the theory that some options are better than no options. Right now the mod includes options for various vanilla kits (e.g. "make Montaron an Assassin"), for various SoB kits (e.g. "make Khalid a Corsair"), and for @zupsky's very nice Lost Druid kit ("make Faldorn a Lost Druid"). If you choose one of those options, it will install that kit into the game, but only for that NPC - not for the player. If you want those kits to be available for your PC, then you'll have to actually install those mods. (So, you do *not* have to install anything from Scales of Balance to make these options work. Yay!)

Additionally, there will be a few more options if you install kits from the Divine Remix and Song & Silence mods. I'm going to reach out to the keepers of those mods, and maybe one or two others, to see if I can borrow their code to install those kits independently, like the SoB and Lost Druid kits are now. We'll see.

Okay, I installed DR and S&S and there are still only like 3-4 options for most NPCs.

Yeah, well, again: some options are better than none! If you have suggestions for more options for any NPCs, let me know in this thread.

Further, anyone has my complete and utter blessing to delve into this .tp2 file and add to it. Want to add an option for Shar-Teel to be a Wizard Slayer? Well, copy the component that turns her into a Berserker, edit the kit line (0x246) to point to Wizard Slayer instead of Berserker (look in kit.ids) and copy/adapt one of the ADD_CRE_EFFECT lines to give her the 1st-level Wizard Slayer abilities. Done. Send me the code (or just do a pull request on Github) and I'll add it to the mod. I don't have time to add too much, but I designed the mod to support up to 17 options for each NPC. So there is definitely room to grow.

Are you a modder, who makes kits? Want to include them here like @zupsky's? Fantastic! Add your kit installation code as a .tpa file, put it and the kit's clab file and any supporting .spl/.itm/etc. files into a folder in "/npc_ee/kits/" and then add a component to whichever NPCs you think are appropriate (take a look at the code giving Faldorn the Lost Druid kit; it checks to see whether the kit mod is already installed, and if it is not, INCLUDEs the .tpa). Send me the code or do a pull-request, and bam! More options!

What about proficiencies? If you make Coran a single-class thief he can't use his 3 pips in long bow!

Yeah, I've taken care of that. Coran as a single-class thief will get an illegal two pips in short bow. He will also have a short bow equipped when you meet him, instead of a long bow. Turn Khalid into a ranger/cleric and his sharp equipment will be replaced with blunt equipment. Et cetera.

Again: I have no time for anything but the most limited testing. I've installed this, and CLUA'd the NPCs into existence, and it seems to be working fine. Let me know in this thread if you see any bugs.


Cheers!

Need some help with interjections in BG2EE dialogs

Hi, I looked at various ways to code interjections, but I do not seem to understand the gist of it. Using Notepad++ and weidu highlighters, it underlines the "==" when I reference to which dialog, then parsing errors, etc.

Here's the situation: Buliard (PPBBul) - My prefix is PP on Blackwyrm forum- will interject one line in Morda's dialog (PPMorda).

Here's what I wrote:

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN Relics
SAY ~Ugwaerel can access it because of her pinky. It's a relic of Vec...(Buliard tries to shut her down, but came too late).~
INTERJECT_COPY_TRANS PPBul.d @171 PPChain1
== PPBul
IF ~!StateCheck("PPMord",CD_STATE_NOTVALID)~ THEN
~(He spits) Nobody can have those unless they are initiated! So don't even think about it!~
END

That would help me a lot to understand the rest. Thank you for your time!

Hi, i recently started to mod with dltcep. I achieved to load a custom map in BG2: EE but there's a slight problem. I can see the crop lines of the grid from the .tis when the characters walk around or when I zoom out. With smaller maps i dont have this problem, but is there a way to avoid such a glitch? I used maps extracted from BG:2 that I edited with photoshop before converting it with dltcep. Thanks for your time.

modmerge: merge your Steam/GOG zip based DLC into something Weidu/NearInfinity/DLTCEP can use.

Hey,

Updated to 1.1 to look for sod-dlc.zip where GOG puts it.

People have certainly made their voices heard about the zip based dlc that we use on Steam and Gog. I had a few hours to spare Saturday and Sunday night, so I made modmerge for those who may be interested.

You can download binaries for your platform at http://github.com/ScottBrooks/modmerge/releases or view the source at http://github.com/ScottBrooks/modmerge

This comes with no warranty, and if you need to restore your steam copy to normal, you can use the 'Properties->Local Files->Verify Integrity of Game Cache' feature to restore things to how they were before.

If you download this and place it beside your game data folder(aka, modmerge.exe should be sitting beside chitin.key), and run it, it will do the following.
  1. Backs up your chitin.key to chitin.key.bak, just in case
  2. Unzips your dlc/sod-dlc.zip, copying over top of the existing lang/, movies/, music/ folders. The data folder inside of the zip will be renamed to no overwrite files in the existing data directory.
  3. Updates your chitin.key with so any resources from inside of the zip file will point to their appropriate bif files.
  4. Renames your dlc/sod-dlc.zip to dlc/sod-dlc.disabled so the engine no longer loads the zip based dlc.

This should give you a chitin.key that references all the BGEE assets in data/*.bif, along with referencing all the SOD assets in the sod-dlc/*.bif files.

I've tested this on two machines here(PC/Mac), on steam. Let me know if you have any success.

[MOD] "T'was a Slow Boat from Kara-Tur" Quest/Store/New Items - Release .90

http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/47479850/file.html

This is my first Mod that contains dialog files, a store, and a quest. The battle is pretty rough, and I would suggest a party of 6 level 5 or better ... depending on your ability. The quest starts at the Friendly Arm Inn (just to the left after entering the drawbridge). There will be 3 monks, the one in red has a story to tell you. If you take his quest and then complete it; when you return he will give you a unique leveling relic (with a future quest tied to it). Once completing the quest he will also open up a Store from Kara-Tur. I couldn't figure out 2 pieces of the Dialog, so I will list them now; < CHARNAME > is supposed to list your character name (it did not work for me). The second being creating/updating/deleting Journal Entries, so I gave you items instead that have reminders of what you are to be doing ... they serve as well as tips to the huge easter egg the quest itself is. If you enjoy playing a Monk there are some very nice items to help you through your early life (don't forget your Wisdom).

The store has a mix of about 30+ new items (around 7 or so new types). The relic is something you'll have to figure out how to work, but it has 4 levels of power. All in all it shouldn't be too over the top, the highest items in the store are +2 and there are only 3 if I remember correctly.

It may need some fixes, but I have run through it about 10 times and it seems to function ok for me. If you run across an issue please let me know, and I would be glad to correct it.

If you really have to know what is in the store, or what powers the relic will give, send me a PM.

I hope it is enjoyable!


** Two quick pix. 1. This is your quest giver. 2. .... the lights go out. What's that spinning around the head of the Avatar?

[BG:EE]Dark Horizons Released

Current
Dark Horizons for Baldur's Gate:Enhanced Edition released.

This is a large tactical quest and encounters mod. As you journey along the Sword Coast you will encounter undesirables trying to do harm to you. Not only that, but an organization for good, Section, has been contracted by someone to send its operatives to hunt you down. They don't want you alive, they want you dead. Your first encounter is behind the very walls of Candlekeep and it won't end until you defeat Section and their overseers at Oversight. If you are lucky, you may survive. And perhaps you may pick up a new friend or friends along the way.

There are a lot of new items to be found and new stores to shop at. There is an item upgrade store located at the Friendly Arm Inn. There are two new NPCs who will join your party. This mod would work best with my Level 40/HLAs mod for BG:EE.

Download the mod: http://www.baldursgatemods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=189




Old--------------------
I'm working on Dark Horizons for BG:EE. I'm thinking it won't be too painful of a process to convert. There will be some new things though.

I already have a dragon quest, but in this version you will fight an actual dragon.
A few more bounty hunters and other lowlife. The Sword Coast is supposed to be a dangerous place after all.
I will be making use of some of the powerful spells and enemy scripting, so some fights will be hard. I've always considered this mod a tactical mod after all.

This will be part one. Part one I want to get released ASAP.

Part two I will finally add in the NPCs. At the moment they will have a few dialogs, nothing elaborate like you find in BG2 mods.

I started a new game in my old, heavily modded BG2ee installation. No issues for a while, then, after recruiting Neera, began to see massive dialog issues.

I've tried reinstalling my base 30+ mods with fresh installations and the dialog mess is even worse...this is with beamdog versions that don't need modmerge.

I vaguely saw something about a new patch update and some new opcodes.

I'm just wondering did the last patch break existing mod installs or move dialog.tlk?

Congenio's Pebble Collection
New Component: "Congenio's Pebble Collection" - Allows multiple Ioun stones to stack without using any equipment slots, as per PnP. Ioun stones can still be worn as helmets, and if used in the equipment tab, will "float" around you giving you the benefits of the stone and a free helmet slot. Simply use an innate ability to reach out and grab the Ioun stone you wish to remove from orbit. This can be quite powerful by ToB.
Wong Fei's Ioun Stone now also has same usability as all other Ioun stones, excluding Malla's Soul Stone, which still excludes Good-Aligned users.

6wmvr4zh8sox.png


WARNING: Ioun stones that use Opcode "Stat: Maximum HP Modifier [18]" work differently than others. In order for the HP modifier to be removed when the Ioun stone is, the HP modifier cannot be saved and loaded. In other words, if you save with the Pale Green Ioun Stone and/or Wong Fei's Ioun Stone equipped in orbit, you must equip them again upon loading to receive the HP modifier.



Change Log:
[Upcoming] - Kits: Collector, Elven Minstrel, Huntsman, Infiltrator, Spellfincher, and Faiths & Powers-compatible "Clergy of the Seldarine."

[v1.68] - Further improved Bladesongs! Bladesingers are meant to stick to robes/elven chain and single weapon style, but as a fighter/mage kit, they were able to perform their powerful bladesongs in cumbersome full plate and heavy tower shields. No more! Bladesongs are now properly limited to Bladesingers in armor no heavier than chain mail so long as they are wielding a single one-handed melee weapon and have one free hand. Splint/Plate, ranged weapons, 2H-weapons, shields, and even hand-to-hand combat will disable bladesinging, removing its effects and preventing its reapplication until proper weapon/armor requirements are met. Courtesy of @subtledoctor.
- Revised abilities for Herbalists & Priests of Mystra, improving balance as well as kit usefulness.
- A few components shifted groups (but not component numbers) to maintain a minimum number of component groups.
- Bug Fixes: Multiple strref fixes, including War Wizard's innate ability descriptions.
Removed all instances of 'sod' under REQUIRE_PREDICATE GAME_IS, due to the fact that IWDEE does not yet recognize that game.
Fixed multiple Ioun stones for IWDEE. Also replaced 2 SoD Ioun .BAMs with closest matching images from compatible games.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2S3hCRXNHeHRqQm8

[v1.67] - Bug Fixes: Further fixes to Priestess of Lolth's 'Shapeshift: Spider,' should work as intended now.
- Format changes: Component order changes, completely uninstall mod before updating. Will affect games in progress.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2MjJFVHA1VGNDbk0

[v1.66] - Bug Fixes: Multiclass kits will now function properly for class abilities of level 10 or above, all credit to @Aquadrizzt.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2SWNuV21pdUZOSEk

[v1.65] - Bug Fixes: Resolved issue with Priestesses of Lolth being unable to talk after shapeshifting out of spider form.
- Fixed minor typos.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2SVhvMUwxTjR4Tjg

[v1.62] - Improved Priestess of Lolth's "Shapeshift: Spider," haste and poison come with higher levels.
- Multiclass F/M Bladesinger should now have access to all available quick spell slots.
- Minor item and string reference fixes, improved compatibility between BGEE & IWDEE.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2U1VUaWc1OVhRYkE

[v1.61] - Bug Fixes: Fixed Post-2.0 Multiclass Kits. BG2EE no longer crashes. Priest of Mystra's kit tome now works. Abyssal Warrior's free weapon & armor now function in IWDEE.
- New Components: XP Cap Removal, Increased Start XP (BGEE:SoD/BG2EE), Remove dual- and multi-class restrictions.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2b19idUhDVFBkNWc

[v1.6] - Bug Fixes: fixed spells required for Congenio's Pebble Collection. Ioun stones now unequip identified.
-Redaction: BGEE Item Expansion absorbed BGEE HLA component. All BG2EE Item Expansions merged into one component.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2WmpicUJscUIwQ2M

[v1.5] - New Component: Congenio's Pebble Collection. Allows multiple Ioun stones to stack without using any equipment slots.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2OHJ6aFh6VmV1UVU

[v1.11] - Removed 25STWEAP.2da made unnecessary with patch v2.1.
- Disabled Alpha components for IWD2 & PS:T.
- Slight changes to custom races. Tiefling should work in BGEE, SoD, and BG2EE. Vampire should appear in BG2EE, but has no selectable classes. Removed changes to IWDEE racetext.2da.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2Y0FUSXFUWVhoRnc

[v1.1] - Bug Fixes: Abyssal Warrior's level 1 free weapon now created in inventory.
- Changes: Windrider's mount only usable outdoors. Now has no casting time like other non-magical innates.
- Other: XP Cap Removal added to HLA component. Tiefling added as a playable race, essentially just an Elf with different string references. Only an Abyssal Warrior can be a true tiefling with all racial traits.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3oh7euE-ND2Z3MwUVlsaFMtRXM

[v1.0] - Kits: Abyssal Warrior, Bladesinger, Eldritch Knight, Herbalist, Priest of Mystra, Priestess of Lolth, Undead Hunter Paladin kit for Elves, War Wizard, Wilderness Runner, and Windrider.

[MOD] DLC Builder for Enhanced Edition v2.x games

Download: DLC Builder v3.0

Latest beta: DLC Builder v4.0-beta3

This mod allows you to create a DLC archive out of a modded game installation. It can then be used to mod a clean game simply by dropping the file into one of the supported DLC folders. That way you don't have to go through the time-consuming and error-prone process of installing one mod after another if you simply want to reuse a known mod configuration. It can also be used to quickly synchronize multiple game installations for multiplayer sessions.

The mod automatically detects files that have been added or modified by mods and includes them in the resulting DLC archive. Files in extra folders (such as movies, music or scripts) that have been added manually or were installed by platform-dependent batch or shell scripts cannot be detected properly and must be placed into the working folder of this mod if you want to include them in the DLC archive as well. See the included Readme for more information.

An expert mode allows you to control more aspects of the DLC building process.

The resulting DLC archive can be easily installed on any game installation by dropping it into one of the supported DLC locations.

Supported DLC locations:
1. [Game install folder]/workshop (accepts only DLC archives with ".mod" extension) <- highest priority
2. [Game install folder]/dlc
3. [Game install folder]
4. [Documents folder of the game] <- lowest priority

Important:
The game version of the target installation should match the version of the game where the DLC archive has been created or you may encounter missing string references or outdated lines of text. It mainly depends on how many changes have been made to the dialog.tlk of the target version of the game.

[mod] Dusky NPC for IWD EE

DUSKY NPC for IWD EE

ABOUT THE MOD:

Dusky is a new companion for IWD:EE (the mod won't work on any other version of the game). Just as in Baldur's Gate, he will join you once he's found and offered place in the player's group. You may join him quite soon as he's standing near the entrance to the cave near Easthaven.
Dusky is a male half-orcish cleric/thief of chaotic neutral alignment and may be romanced by any male character of Charisma 11 or greater. The mod was written as an addition to Kulyok's IWD NPCs, which also offer joinable NPCs with and without romances. Since the mod did not provide male/male romantic relationship, I've decided to write yet another mod to fill that space in the game.
Dusky should fit good, neutral, and evil themed teams. He will stay until the very end. The mod includes friendship talks, romance talks, a few interjections, and two banters with each Kulyok's characters (all approved by Kulyok).
The progression of talks is slightly different than in BG2: most talks will appear while visiting new places and following the main quest.
Note that the mod includes mature content.

Thanks to people who made this mod happen, especially to @typo_tilly and @Artemius_I - our dear community members, who supported me greatly!

Basic NPC information:

=> male half-orcish cleric/thief
=> chaotic neutral alignment
=> statistics: strength - 17 / dexterity - 18 / constitution - 16 / intelligence - 10 / wisdom - 16 / charisma - 9

[MOD][BETA] Tome and Blood: More Options for Wizards and Sorcerers

Tome and Blood v0.70 is now available for download.


Tome and Blood is the largest arcane magic mod for the Infinity Engine games. The current version of Tome and Blood boasts reworks for all existing Mage and Sorcerer kits, five original and unique Sorcerer kits, and nine mechanics tweaks directed at arcane magic and associated systems.


The current release of Tome and Blood offers the following features. A more comprehensive readme is available online here (Chrome only) or as a pdf file attached to this post.

REVISED SPECIALISTS
This component revises the Specialist Mage features to emphasize the unique specialties of each school of magic, and establishes Necromancy as the only prohibited school of magic. Each type of specialist now automatically gains spells of their chosen school, as well as protection against the magic they typically wield.

REVISED DRAGON DISCIPLES
This component expands Dragon Disciples to include the various other types of dragons, rather than just fire dragons. There are four Dragon Disciple kits, each one dealing with a specific element tied to several different types of chromatic and metallic dragons.

MAGUS
This component introduces the Magus kit for Sorcerers, which blends martial prowess with arcane knowledge.

FAVOURED SOUL
This component introduces the Favoured Soul kit for Sorcerers; Favoured Souls trace their sorcerous powers to the gods, and thus gain access to spells usually beyond the reach of Sorcerers.

REVENANT DISCIPLE
This component introduces the Revenant Disciple kit for Sorcerers, which represents Sorcerers who can attribute their powers to some undead ancestor.

SYLVAN DISCIPLE
This component introduces the Sylvan Disciple kit for Sorcerers, which is for Sorcerers who develop their mystical powers due to some long-forgotten intermingling of mortal and fey.

AMORPHOUS DISCIPLE
This component introduces the Amorphous Disciple kit for Sorcerers, a kit for Sorcerers with the foul ichor of oozes running through their veins.

INNATE FIND FAMILIAR
This component makes Find Familiar an innate ability for all Mages and Sorcerers.

ARMORED CASTING FOR BARDS
This component enables Bards to cast arcane spells while wearing Leather and Studded Leather armors.

ARCANE CRAFTING
This component grants Mages and Sorcerers the ability to use their powers to craft magical items, such as wands, potions, and scrolls.

CANTRIPS
Cantrips are minor magical effects that Mages and Sorcerers can manifest at will. This component offers two options for cantrip systems: innate and first level. Innate cantrips are minor abilities that are usable once per six seconds. First level cantrips revises all first level spells and allows them to recharge upon use. Both components offer Mages and Sorcerers the ability to never run out of spells.

SPELL TWEAKS
This component revises various spells in order to balance the list of spells available from each school. Some spells have been moved to different levels or schools and some are more extensively affected.

METAMAGIC
This component changes certain metamagic-type spells into innate abilities and revises the various magical protection defenses and counters.

ABILITY SCORE BONUSES
This component provides bonuses to Mages, Sorcerers, and Bards with sufficiently high primary attributes. These bonuses include low level spell slots, and, for Sorcerers, caster level bonuses.

SPELL SELECTION DIALOG
This component fundamentally changes the way that Sorcerers learn new spells. Instead of selecting spells during character creation and at level-up, Sorcerers are now granted an innate ability (Spell Knowledge) that emulates the spell selection screen through a dialogue menu.


INSTALLATION
In order to install this, simply extract the attached TomeAndBlood.rar file to your data/00### folder and run SetUp-TomeAndBlood.exe. If you have an existing version of TomeAndBlood, it is strongly encouraged to completely uninstall the old version before installing this version.

The Divine Remix aims to rebalance and change several aspects of divine-magic-using classes, such as clerics, paladins, druids, and rangers. Version 8, a beta release, is a major overhaul and restructuring of the mod. Notably, the sphere system has been moved into a stand-alone component, the code has been modernized to interact better with other mods, and the mod has been updated to work on the EE series of games.

If you read nothing else, read this: this is a beta release, and the sphere system is now optional. The v8 changelog:
  • Major, major rewrite
  • Sphere system broken out and made optional
  • Non-sphere versions of cleric kits created
  • IWDEE/BGEE/BGIIEE compatibility
  • Typos
  • Due to extensive text changes, the Polish and Czech translations have been withdrawn until they can be updated
  • Kitting creatures now accounts for priests in the BG part of the game; better checks also means no more install failures during the kitting process
  • Imported IWD spells have been withdrawn; go install IWDification instead
  • New spells broken into their own component, and given the option to install with or without overwriting similar spells from other mods
  • Kit remover cleaned up
  • Implemented better checks for high level abilities and holy symbols, mainly to better account for the variety of platforms now available
  • Fixed the kit.ids patching
  • Kitted clerics in IWDEE will have a kit-specific biography
  • Kitted clerics in EE games now have the default colors of their faith
  • Battleguards of Tempus will receive additional attacks for weapon specialization per warrior classes, but only on EE games

Evil Aerie Mod

Hey

Just thought I would ask out there as I have looked through the internet and can't seem to find anything.

Does anyone know of any Evil Aerie Mods? Where she changes alignment and channels the hate/despair in her and rather whine about it. I like Aerie for when I am playing a good character but going to run through with a Chaotic Neutral character once I am finished with my Paladin and taking a mix of the "loons" from Baldur's Gate but I want to take Aerie in BG2 and would love to have her just loose control!

My only option was to change her portrait and alignment using EE Keeper half way through and just do it in my head as such but would love to know if there was a mod out there somewhere, which already does it!

Item modding question

Hello all. Having seen that SoD adds Stalker Gauntlets as a magic item, and that there's a mod that allows you to take them into BG2EE, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how complicated it will be to make a mod to have this item in BGEE (before SoD content). I've never modded before and have no programming experience, but I'd really like my stalker to be able to use this item so that he isn't restricted to a x2 backstab for the entirety of the first game. Cheers :)

[MOD] Golem Construction for Spellcasters

Golem Construction for Spellcasters
A mod for BG:EE (with or without SoD), BG2:EE, EET (Enhanced Edition Trilogy) and IWD:EE.

Download latest release (22 MB)


You can encounter a great number of golems of various types throughout the game. They are strong, resistant, and utterly loyal to their master. Unfortunately they are mostly hostile towards you.

This mod makes an attempt to change it. It scatters a number of tomes across Faerûn containing the secret knowledge of how to construct golems. Reading these books allows you to build golems by yourself, provided you have enough experience, and all the required materials at hand. Only characters knowledgeable in the arcane arts are able to understand the complex theories behind the golem construction.

Golems can exist for a virtually unlimited time, or until destroyed. They can travel with the party all over the world and follow the commands of their master unconditionally.

The main component of the mod installs the "Manual of Golem Building" which comes in six volumes and can be found all over Faerûn. Each tome teaches you to build a different type of golem.

There are also rumors about a "Secret Manual of Golem Building" which teaches you to construct various exotic golem types.

Optional Tweaks include:
  1. Replace original Golem Manual: Replaces the now obsolete original Golem Manual with items related to this mod.
  2. Improve enemy spellcaster AI: Enemy mages and priests attempt to use more effective spells against golems.
  3. Golems for enemy spellcasters: Enemy mages may be accompanied by one or more golem servants.
  4. Greater variety of enemy golem types: Enemy golems will come in greater variety. Some fights may become more difficult because of it.
  5. Fighter Stronghold golems may continue to serve you: One or more golems that survived the siege may serve you if you accept de'Arnise Keep as your stronghold.
  6. Make golems vulnerable to specific spell effects: A number of spells can (positively or negatively) affect golems of certain golem types.
  7. Reduce weapon immunities and resistances for constructed golems: Nerfs constructed golems, so that more opponents have a realistic chance to defeat them.
  8. Identify all items: Identifies all items that are installed by this mod, which includes Golem Building Manuals as well as a number of special ingredients for building perfect golem variants.
  9. Add "Teleport" ability to golems: Adds the "Teleport" ability to all of your golem followers. It allows golems to jump to a party member in visual range instantly, but can only be used when no enemies are in sight.

Golem types taught by the Manuals of Golem Building:

1. Flesh Golems in lesser, regular, greater and perfect variants.


2. Clay Golems in lesser, regular, greater and perfect variants.


3. Stone Golems in lesser, regular, greater and perfect variants.


4. Iron Golems in lesser, regular, greater and perfect variants.


5. Mithral Golems in lesser, regular, greater and perfect variants.


6. Adamantite Golems in lesser, regular, greater and perfect variants.


Golem types taught by the Secret Manuals of Golem Building:



Golems that can be commissioned during the BG1 part of the game:



The construction of golems takes time and has to be done in places with the right equipment. Golem may follow simple commands. You can instruct them to follow each of your command obediently, attack opponents by their own or guard a certain position passively or actively.

More details about the golems, the requirements to build them, their stats, traits and abilities can be found in the mod's readme.

Important: BG:EE and BG2:EE must be patched to v2.0 or higher to install this mod. IWD:EE must be patched to v1.4 or higher to install this mod.

Mod adding hand of Vekna and eye of Vekna?

Hi Guys,

Around 2 years ago I played with the mod which added the hand and the eye of Vekna into Ribald merchandise (I guess but I may be wrong). Do you have any idea what is the mod? I can't rememeber if the mod did more than that.

Cheers,
Matt

The simplest way to give everyone in the party a special ability?

I'm looking for a way to make sure every NPC in the party and the main character have a special ability, right from the start of the game. Or perhaps when they join the party. In any case, once they are in, they should automatically have it, all of them. What's the simplest way to do that?
