Modfile for BGEE 2.5.16.4 Beta (Android)

@Barachiel, I have moved your request to here because the discussion it was placed in was for BG2EE, it is just located in the wrong area (my fault)...

For those just looking or want to give it a go themselves, the request itself is in the spoliers....



@Gusinda Hey there. I have my own modding request for BGEE 2.5 Beta.

Here's my list. I'm trying to keep it a little more restrained, and am going with order of priority rather than install, in case compromises have to be made. If you need an easier referernce, most of my selections within the mods are made using BWS, "Recommended" settings.

MUST HAVE

-BG1 NPC Project - is this a surprise? If I can have no other mod, it must be this.
-All options. Specific sub options include using 1 Hour Between talks, opening the first Cloakwood area only, moving Alora to the Hall of Wonders, moving Eldoth to the Coast Way, moving Quayle to the Carnival, moving Tiax to Beregrost, and using SixOfSpades expanded Sarevok Diary. Pick BG2 portraits over BG1. (can drop Starting Location Changes and Send NPCs to Wait at Inn if SCS is used).

-BG1 NPC Project Music Pack - Install All.

-BG1 Unfinished Business - everything but the Kagain's Quest, Kivan & Tazok, Branwen & Tranzig, Nim Furling encounter and Chapter 6 Dialogue changes.

WANT

-BG Mini-Quests & Encounters - All but the last 5.

-BG Romantic Encounters - Install All, "Descriptive"

-Lure of the Sirine's call - core part only, no extended area.

-NPCs for Everyone - this one is going to get a bit involved, since I can't use EE Keeper once i start.
-Khalid > Ranger; Minsc > Fighter, Coran > Thief, Xvar > Necromancer-Cleric, Montaron > Thief, Xan > Fighter/Mage, Neera > Sorcerer (Wild Mage), and "Add Kit change innate" for single and multi class characters. That'll let me change their kits in-game.

LIKE

-Ajantis BG1 Expansion - Core only.

-Coran's Extended Friendship talks

-Neera Expansion - Core, 1 hour between talks.

-Neera Banters - First Option (Banters + Interjections)

-Xan's Friendship

-Rogue Rebalance

-Wizard Slayer Rebalancing

COMPLICATED

I'd like the aTweaks, Tweaks Anthology and SCS mods, but the sheer amount of options would turn this into a twenty page document. Again, all I can say is, I usually use "Recommended" in BWS, with a few tweaks, or we can talk it out in PM. The main one being "no XP nerfs" and "keep BGEE cinematics".




I was able to put nearly everthing into the modfile except SCS. For those things where the decision was left to me, I followed the thoughts below:

Tweaks Anthology - Never used BWS so unsure what the recommended would be. I just took what I though would be good for what I think you may be aiming at. For some, like stacking, I went the max as the part I dislike the most is inventory management, so if this is not the way you would play, let me know as it is easy to fix. You can see exactlt what was installed in the WeiDU.log.txt. Hopefully by XP nerf, you didn't mean the removal of the cap...

aTweaks - I just did what I would do (which was pretty much anything PnP).

SCS? - Have only installed SCS in a 1.3.x environement and never actually used it apart from testing the install. I know there are problems with installing SCS in BG 2.x so I left that out for the moment. Will see if I can install on a PC platform first to see what happens. This probably means waiting for the 2.5 release for PC (my BGEE on PC is from GOG so no Beta).

If any of this is not to liking, let me know as I still have the install setup and it would be easy to change (except SCS).


To Install:
- Delete/rename any current override folder to get rid of any conflicts that might arise.
- Copy 'BG1EE 2.5.16.4 Beta_Modfile_Barachiel' to '/android/data/com.beamdog.baldursgateenhancededition/files/'. You can place it anywhere as long as the file manager you are using will allow you to copy and paste from .zip files.
- Unpack 'BG1EE 2.5.16.4 Beta_Modfile_Barachiel.zip' in the folder keeping paths.
- Delete 'BG1EE 2.5.16.4 Beta_Modfile_Barachiel.zip' or move to another folder. Leaving it there will create a conflict with lang.zip and the game will crash on start.

You should now have the following in the folder 'android/data/com.beamdog.baldursgateenhancededition/files/':
override (folder)
save (folder)
baldur.lua (file)
lang.zip (file)

as well as any others you may have put in like portraits and characters.


You can now test the game to see if it starts. If it doesn't double check to make sure 'BG1EE 2.5.16.4 Beta_Modfile_Barachiel.zip' isn't in the same folder as lang.zip and it was moved not copied (common error)...

I have also included the WeiDU.log, so you can see exactly what was installed.

To Uninstall:
- Delete override folder
- Delete lang.zip

You are now back to running a vanilla version of BG1EE Beta.


Note:
Be aware that this will most likely be only valid for 2.5.16.4 Beta and may not work with any further beta releases or the official 2.5 patch...

If you have a PC, we can work on the process so you aren't reliant on me to make changes.

Hope all goes well
Gus

[WIP] Weavescale Sorcerer Kit (available for testing), and Alarin NPC

October 29, 2017, 8:53 am

Hey guys,

I'm working on a NPC, and created a new kit to fit him. Without further ado, here are the mod features:

A brand new kit, that will be available for PC (justifying it roleplay-wise might be a tad complicated though) but is mostly meant for the NPC:
Weavescale Sorcerer:



Class description: The Weavescale Sorcerers is a secretive organisation of Mystra-worshipping sorcerers. Most of their members are Neutral individuals who left the Yuan-ti ever-scheming society to study magic for the sake of the Art, but humans may become Weavescale Sorcerers if they undergo the transformation to become Tainted Ones. Weavescale Sorcerers have their own set of rituals, which give them a better control over their magic abilities, slightly limiting them in the process.
Features:
• Can only be Human, and on Character Creation, changes Race to Yuan-Ti and grants Scale Armor: -2 bonus to AC, +2 bonus to Constitution
• Arcana Burst: A Weavescale Sorcerer can cast Arcana Burst once per day per 2 levels. Arcana Burst drains a spell from the Weavescale Sorcerer (of the highest level may still cast) to deal stunning (Non-lethal) damage equal to 1d4 per level up to 20d4 at level 20 to a single target. The target may save vs spells for half damage. Once the Weavescale Sorcerer has obtained Elemental Mastery, may choose what type of damage Arcana Burst deals. Arcana Burst is considered to be a spell of the highest level the Weavescale Sorcerer can cast. Casting time is 1, range is 30 feet.
• Elemental Mastery: From level 7 on, a Weavescale Sorcerer can alter its spells to change the type of damage they deal. This affects all damaging spells, except innate ones and spells that deal physical damage. Upon casting them, the Weavescale Sorcerer will have to choose between Acid, Cold, Electric, Fire and Sonic (Non-lethal). Aside from the damaging part, the spell will behave exactly as the original, should it have any extra effect or allow a saving throw. If the original spell deals Magic damage, the Weavescale Sorcerer may also choose magic damage.
• Arcane Reach: From level 9 on, a Weavescale Sorcerer is able to shape its magic so that its touch spells and touch melee magical weapon (example: Vampiric Touch, Imprisonment, …) have a longer range than that of an ordinary sorcerer. This bonus is passive and affects every touch spell. At level 9, the range of these spells is 10 feet, increasing to 20 at level 14, and then to 30 at level 19.
• Counterspell Mastery: From level 20, every spell-deflecting ability now returns the spell to the sender rather than just deflecting it.
• Lower Elemental Resistance: From level 9, and then once every 4 levels, the Weavescale Sorcerer may cast Lower Elemental Resistance. may then choose from 4 elements (Acid, Cold, Electric, Fire) and a target. The target will have its corresponding resistance lowered by 10 (+1 per level)% for 5 turns. This spell offers no saving throw, bypasses magic resistance, and may lower the resistance below 0, effectively increasing the damage dealt to the target.
• Custom HLA table:
o May not choose the HLAs that give extra spellcasts
o May not choose Improved Alacrity
o May choose Scaletatoo of Speed once: Passively reduces casting time by one.
o May choose Seal of Spellfury once: Once per day, the Weavescale Sorcerer may cast spells with no delay between them, and deals 20% increased Elemental Damage for two rounds. Once these rounds have ended however, deals 20% reduced damage and casting time is increased by 2 for 1 turn
o May choose Slithervoice up to three times. Slithervoice is similar to Wail of the Banshee in that it forces any enemy in range to save vs Death with a +2 bonus or die, but on top of that, surviving enemies have all their saving throws reduced by 2 for a turn.
o May choose Weavescale Resilience I, II and III. These grant a cumulative 2, 5 and 8% bonus magic resistance
o Once Weavescale Resilience has been picked three times, may select School Immunity. School Immunity is a one-time ability that grants permanent immunity to the school of the choice of the caster

Disadvantages:
• Experience Penalty: 20%
• Magic Damage penalty: 25%
• May cast one fewer spell per level
• Max number of spells of each level caps at 5 for spells of level 5-, 4 for spells of levels 6+ (instead of 6 spells of each level for a normal Sorcerer)





Compatibility: Spell Revision and IWDification are recommended for a better consistency of the mod, since I used SR's version of some spells to make mine, and IWDification's new wizard spells are also covered by this mod.

And a NPC, Alarin, which should be fully voiced by myself eventually:

Alarin is a Lawful Neutral Weavescale Yuan-Ti Abomination Sorcerer. The Weavescale order is a Neutral-aligned secretive organisation of Yuan-Ti sorcerers and mages. They are tracked by their kin for being traitors. The Weavescale order considers that Magic is an art which shouldn’t be used towards lesser goals, such as political ends. Thus they accordingly despise organisations such as the Red Wizards of Thay, and, of course, their own kin.


In addition to the usual perks of a Weavescale Sorcerer, Alarin has special powers due to his Yuan-Ti abomination true nature:
-Has an innate 20% magic resistance.
-Can polymorph at will between a Human form and a Yuan-Ti form. As a Yuan-Ti, he gains an extra attack per round, increased Thac0, Strength, Charisma, but his cast time increases by 3.
-Starts with Slitherblade+2 in his inventory. Only Alarin may wield this sword. Slitherblade can be enhanced up to +3 in SoA and +5 in ToB.

Stats:
Str: 14 (18/00 as a Yuan-Ti)
Dex: 12
Con: 10
Int: 14
Wis: 18
Cha: 15 (19 as a Yuan-Ti)
Total: 83

I'm planning on using the MANLEY9 male portrait, because my skills at making portraits or any kind of drawing are absolute zero, but if anyone feels like making a male human with Yuan-ti features portrait, feel free to contact me :wink:


Work Progression:
Kit: Available as a standalone for testing! Functional, though there might be some inconsistencies I missed (Spell Icons or string issues. I checked them but on 400 spells there must be some I missed)



NPC:
The new sprites, enemies, scripts and items from the SoA questline are finished. For that part of the game, the dialogs are written, though not all of them are actually implemented. I've selected a few areas from IWD that will host the quest, I still have some work to do on that part.
What remains to be done:
-Properly implementing the quest
-Properly implementing the custom areas
-Banters: part of the writing and implementation
-At a later point, the ToB questline. It probably won't be included in the first release.


ETA: I can't give any ETA for the NPC as I have never made a NPC mod, or a quest Mod, and I don't know how long it'll take for me to learn all that.

Known Issues:
None at this time, please report any bug you find or things you would want to behave otherwise :smiley:


25/12/17: Various bugfixes and description update. Fixed the superlong installation issue.

28/12/17: Various bugfixes. One balance change: experience penalty now starts at level 7, and is now 10%, down from 20.

Custom Races Mod?

I'm a huge fan of the Salvatore books and D&D lore in general, and have always wished that I could actually make a Aasimar, Tiefling, Duergar or a Drow (chief among my wishlist, as to be expected). Maybe even one of the deep gnomes. Have them start with different starting stats or different racials (Drow shouldn't have + to hit with bows, but to crossbows, have different mage specializations available, be restricted on character coloration, ect). Is it just very difficult to mod a new race into the game, or is there simply not a demand for it? I haven't been able to find one at all, other than an apparently unbalanced subrace mod for BG2.

Improved Archer Kit (latest stable version)

Improved Archer Kit (alternate download)

Improved Archer Kit 2.0

Improved Archer Kit 1.0


Overview

The original Archer kit does not scale very well with progressing levels. While the kit is very strong in the early parts of the game, it becomes less useful later on. This mod attempts to improve the kit by giving the Archer a couple more features which make the kit interesting even against very powerful enemies.

Components

The mod includes two components (since v2.0):

1. Improved Archer Kit (supports BG2:ToB, BGT, BG:EE, BG2:EE and IWD:EE)
- Installs the Archer kit

2. Add +4 arrows, bolts and two powerful bows to the game (supports BG2:ToB, BGT, BG2:EE and IWD:EE)
BGT, BG2 and BG2:EE:
  - Adds +4 arrows and bolts to a number of stores and creatures in the ToB part of the game as well as to Watcher's Keep.
  - Adds a powerful longbow somewhere to the third level of Watcher's Keep
  - Adds an even more powerful composite longbow to the outdoor area of Sendai's Enclave
IWD:EE only:
  - Adds two powerful bows and a few +4 arrows and bolts to Conlan's shop in Kuldahar after reaching Chapter 4

Each component can be installed independently.

Kit Description

ARCHER: The Archer is the epitome of skill with the bow-the ultimate marksman, able to make almost any shot, no matter how difficult. To become so skilled with the bow, the Archer has had to sacrifice some of his proficiency with melee weapons and armor.

Advantages:
- +1 to hit and damage rolls with any missile weapon every 3 levels.
- +1 to AC vs. missile weapons every 6 levels.
- May achieve Grandmastery (5 slots) in longbows, shortbows, and crossbows.
- May use Rooting Shot ability once per day every 4 levels. Can not be used together with other shot abilities.
- May use Power Shot ability once per day every 4 levels, starting at level 8. Can not be used together with other shot abilities.
- May use Explosive Shot ability once per day every 4 levels, starting at level 8. Can not be used together with other shot abilities.
- May use Create Blessed Ammunition ability once per day every 4 levels.

ROOTING SHOT: All successful ranged attacks within the next 12 seconds will entangle the target, according to the level of the Archer:
  4th level: Target is entangled for three rounds if failed save vs. Spell.
  8th level: Target is entangled for three rounds if failed save vs. Spell at -1 penalty.
  12th level: Target is entangled for four rounds if failed save vs. Spell at -1 penalty.
  16th level: Target is entangled for four rounds if failed save vs. Spell at -2 penalty.
  20th level: Target is entangled for five rounds if failed save vs. Spell at -2 penalty.

POWER SHOT: All successful ranged attacks within the next 12 seconds have a chance to knock back the target, according to the level of the Archer:
  8th level: Knock back target if failed save vs. Breath.
  12th level: Knock back target if failed save vs. Breath at -1 penalty.
  16th level: Knock back target if failed save vs. Breath at -2 penalty.
  20th level: Knock back target if failed save vs. Breath at -3 penalty.

EXPLOSIVE SHOT: All successful ranged attacks within the next 12 seconds will explode on impact and cause physical damage to nearby targets in 15' range, according to the level of the Archer:
  8th level: 1d4 damage to nearby targets
  12th level: 1d4+2 damage to nearby targets
  16th level: 1d4+4 damage to nearby targets
  20th level: 1d4+6 damage to nearby targets
Caution: Damages enemies, allies and innocent bystanders alike.

CREATE BLESSED AMMUNITION: Create a spiritual arrow or bolt blessed by the Archer's worshipped god or goddess for 8 hours containing a score of charges.
  4th level: +1 enchantment, +1 to hit and damage rolls, additional 1d6 damage and slow for two rounds to undead if failed save vs. Death.
  8th level: +1 enchantment, +2 to hit and damage rolls, additional 1d6+2 damage and hold for two rounds to undead if failed save vs. Death.
  12th level: +2 enchantment, +2 to hit and damage rolls, additional 1d6+4 damage and instant death to undead if failed save vs. Death.
  16th level: +3 enchantment, +3 to hit and damage rolls, additional 1d6+6 damage and instant death to undead if failed save vs. Death at -2 penalty.
  20th level: +4 enchantment, +4 to hit and damage rolls, additional 1d6+8 damage and instant death to undead if failed save vs. Death at -4 penalty.

Disadvantages:
- -1 CON penalty.
- May not wear any metal armor.
- May only become Proficient (one slot) with melee weapons.


Furthermore, the Archer gains access to two special HLAs (BGT, BG2 and BG2:EE only):
- Missile Trap allows the Archer to set a powerful spring-loaded missile trap in the chosen location when no hostile creatures are in sight. It does 3d10 missile damage and each 1d10 damage of various elemental types to the unsuspecting creature that sets it off.
- The Sure Shot ability calls forth every bit of skill and experience to target vital areas of the opponent with frightening speed and precision. By enabling this ability, the Archer takes up his/her stance and shoots missiles in rapid succession. For the next 12 seconds this ability sets one's number of attacks per round to 10 and every shot is considered a critical hit. Since this technique requires utmost skill and concentration, the Archer is rooted to the spot for the next two rounds. It can not be used together with other shot abilities.
Note: The duration of the blessed arrows an bolts is limited to about one hour game time (5 minutes real time) because of a buggy implementation of one of the spell effects in all of the Enhanced Editions (Edit: already fixed in BG2:EE).

Longbow Descriptions

Great Sun-Reacher +3
The elves of Evereska are known for their isolationism as much as their skill and bravery in battle. One of their most well known warriors in human lands was the incredibly accurate archer Bariah Goldendown. Though the elves will neither confirm nor deny the legend, some human tales state that keen-eyed Bariah never missed a target in battle. His bow, crafted by his mother, was never given a name that was known outside of the family. The humans that suffered under its power called it "Great Sun-Reacher," believing that Bariah's arrows could reach into the heavens themselves. In a battle that many Evereskans are bitter about to this day, Bariah's griffon mount was killed in the sky by the spells of invisible wizards that ambushed an elven patrol. Though only one mage escaped with his life, he did manage to take Great Sun-Reacher with him.

STATISTICS:

Charge abilities:
- Protection From Normal Missiles twice per day

Combat abilities:
- When no arrows are equipped, the bow fires +3 arrows that receive +4 to hit and deal 1d6 missile damage

THAC0: +4
Weight: 3
Speed Factor: 2
Proficiency Type: Long Bow
Type: 2-handed
Requires: 6 Strength
Not Usable By:
 Druid
 Cleric
 Mage
 Thief

The Defender +5
Composite longbows are bows whose staves are made from more than one type of material. This gives greater flexibility and makes arrows fired from this bow deliver more damage.
In addition to powerful enchantments, the materials used for this particular bow are of especially exquisite quality. The bow's exceptionally durable frame can be used to deflect even the strongest blows and the ergonomic design allows the user to shoot missiles in rapid succession.

STATISTICS:

Equipped abilities:
- +4 AC bonus against melee weapons
- 3 shots per round

THAC0: +6
Damage: +2 (missile)
Weight: 5
Speed Factor: 2

Download Djinni Companion (latest version) (22 MB)


Meet Afaaq! The djinni who will be your faithful companion in the course of your adventures throughout SoA and ToB. Now available for Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition as well!

image

Content
- The djinni Afaaq who acts as your "seventh party member"
- Extensive dialog content between Afaaq and the protagonist
- Banters with the original Bioware/Beamdog NPCs (still in the works)
- Interjections and commentaries
- An extensive player-initiated dialog with Afaaq
- Up to five new interesting quests
- Six new areas
- A couple of unique artifacts
- Several easter eggs ;)

This mod is available for the original Baldur's Gate II, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition.

Overview

Afaaq is a djinni – a genie of the Elemental Plane of Air. He is very old even in genie terms. The numerous events he witnessed in his long life have left their marks on his personality. He appears somewhat reserved and radiates a melancholic, sometimes even gloomy aura. Afaaq is more serious than others of his kind and tends to talk in a rather long-winded and convoluted way. He respects wisdom and open-mindedness, but will also tolerate foolhardy behavior to a certain degree. Everything else he can tell you by himself.

When you first meet him, he is equipped with his favorite enchanted scimitar, has a small variety of spells and a couple of unusual innate abilities. The djinni gains experience much like a party member would do and levels up automatically. Depending on the choices you make during the course of the game, he may become even more useful later.

Initial Statistics
Class: Fighter/Mage at level 10/11
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Strength: 15
Dexterity: 16
Constitution: 13
Intelligence: 15
Wisdom: 16
Charisma: 11

If you want to know more, simply talk to him when he is around or in his magical lamp. He will be happy to answer your questions in detail.

FAQ

Q: Where can I find the djinni?
A: (Baldur's Gate II) You will find the djinni in the course of your Trademeet adventures.
A: (Icewind Dale) You can find it somewhere in Dragon's Eye.

Q: Could you be more specific where I can find the djinni?
A: (Full Version) The quest to find the djinni will be triggered when you attack Adratha, the potion seller of the druid grove. To reach her, enter the druid grove and look for a cottage in the upper right part of the map. She is the rakshasa in disguise.
A: (Light Version) You can find the djinni after you have killed Adratha, the potion seller of the druid grove.
A: (IWD:EE Version) The djinni is in possession of Yxunomei, the current ruler of Dragon's Eye.

Q: What's the deal with the full version and the light version of Afaaq?
A: The full version contains everything I've advertised in the readme and this FAQ, which includes banters, interjections, comments and several quests. The light version is just a stripped down version of the djinni without additional content. I have added this option as a bonus for people who already know him inside out or want to take him along in Icewind Dale.

Q: How useful is the djinni if he doesn't join like a regular party member?
A: Since he's rather tagging along than joining your party, you don't have access to his inventory or record screen. His spell selection is fixed as well, although it may expand at a certain point in the game. To compensate these limitations, I have given him many useful abilities and options how to interact with him. He also has an extensive PID menu, regardless whether he is inside or outside of his lamp. There is even more, but you should find it out by yourself. ;)

Q: Does he have a quest?
A: (Full Version only) Not only one. In the course of the game you can take part in up to five quests related to the djinni, his nature and his past. Some quests are mandatory, others are optional or depend on how you solved a previous quest.

Q: Does he get along with evil characters?
A: Afaaq is generally tolerant towards characters of any alignment. He won't always agree, but unless you're acting very abusive towards him, it won't come to a clash. It might even be worthwhile to take him along with an evil party at least once, as certain quest options are only available to evil-aligned protagonists.

Q: Can you romance the djinni?
A: No, you can't. But there is a friendship path of sorts. While Afaaq shares your company, his respect for you might grow or wane, depending on how you deal with certain events in your path. This is very important for specific events later on.

Q: How does he get along with other NPCs?
A: Currently, there isn't much interaction with most of the NPCs, so he will get along with everyone just fine. That will change however in one of the coming releases. He will get along better with like-minded characters, but he will also tolerate some of the more evil NPCs. That doesn't mean there aren't any surprises if you've got Korgan, Edwin or some of the other evil Bioware or Enhanced Edition NPCs in your party.

Q: Will there be crossmod content?
A: The banter system is designed to support crossmod content. So yes, it is possible with little restrictions. But my first priority is to add banters for all official NPCs.

Q: I want Afaaq to retreat into his lamp. How do I do that?
A: You can ask him to do it. Click on the "Talk" button (or press F1) and click on your djinni. He will initiate a dialog which presents you an option to return him into his lamp. Another way is to trigger his quick menu in Afaaq's item ability slot. You can also force him into the lamp when you click the lamp's conversation button.

Q: Afaaq is badly hurt. What are my options to heal him?
A: You can cast healing spells on him, like on regular party members. You can also offer your healing potions to him. If you want to do that, make sure you have any kind of healing potion in your inventory before initiating a conversation with the djinni. Select the appropriate dialog option and the djinni will quaff the potion almost immediately. The same procedure works if Afaaq is poisoned or diseased and you have any kind of remedy in your backpack.

Q: Sometimes I see strange messages in the game console which refer to Afaaq as familiar?
A: The messages are harmless and will only be shown whenever Afaaq tries to leave a map on his own or attempts to enter a store. Unfortunately they are hardcoded into the game itself and cannot be changed without patching the game executable.

Q: Will Afaaq become stronger later in the game?
A: (Full Version) Yes. He gains levels in the course of the game, similar to the level up process of your party members. To inspect his current strength, you can ask him to present his stats. One of his quests allows the djinni to become even more powerful. He will gain a couple of new innate abilities and spells as well.
A: (Light Version) Yes. As in the Full Version, the djinni gains levels in the course of the game. He will become even more powerful at a certain point in the game.
A: (IWD:EE Version) Yes. As in the Full Version and Light Version, the djinni gains levels in the course of the game. You can also choose between two options to make the djinni even more powerful. One of them can be triggered during your Heart of Winter journey by talking to a certain person who is relevant for the main quest. The second option is available in Lower Dorn's Deep from a certain shady character in the hidden Svirfneblin camp.

Q: Afaaq picked a fight with me. How does it affect the game?
A: (Full Version only) There are several points in the game where he may strongly disagree with the protagonist. Sometimes it even results in a fight. After you win the fight, he will be fully under your control. As a result, he won't banter with you and your party members anymore and it might affect future event. Everything else should work as usual.

Q: Quest "Vengeance": How can I disable the barriers around the temple complex?
A: (Full Version only) You'll need to place certain items into the slots next to the barrier. All of them can either be found or "earned" somewhere on the map.

Q: Quest "An unexpected encounter": I have entered the cave, but it looks like it has been abandoned already. How can I proceed with the quest?
A: (Full Version only) Unfortunately, you can't anymore. The quest has to be started before you participate in the drow summoning ritual in Ust Natha. Afaaq should have reminded you once or twice to pay a visit to the cave before it's too late. You can still continue your journey without finishing this quest. It will make certain events in the future slightly more difficult to overcome, however.

Q: Quest "An unexpected encounter": How can I enter House Arabani?
A: (Full Version only) You need a wardstone to enter their home. Since House Arabani is one of the smaller houses in Ust Natha, they have made alliances with other houses to survive. Maybe you can take advantage of this situation?

Q: Quest "Playing with fire": How can I enter the pool in the smuggler cave?
A: (Full Version only) Firstly, you need permission from the occupants of the cave to enter the pool. Secondly, you'll surely burn yourself if you want to enter the pool unprotected. Talk to the townsfolk to find a solution for this problem.

Q: I want to start a ToB-only or HoW-only game. Where can I find the djinni?
A: (Full Version) You can't. The mod is designed to be started in the SoA part of the game.
A: (Light Version) You can find the djinni after you have beaten Illasera.
A: (IWD:EE Version) You can find the djinni lamp somewhere hidden in the Shrine of Waukeen in Lonelywood.


Work on the Djinni Companion already began back in 2012. He eventually grew from a simple companion into a full-fletched NPC whose mere presence in your party draws you into a number of interesting quests throughout both Shadow of Amn and Throne of Bhaal. The Djinni Companion mod makes use of additional content from a number of mods, if it can find them during installation. You can find out more about it in the linked Readme.

Feel free to post your thoughts, suggestions, questions or bugs either here or in my topic on SHS Forums.

Have fun! :)

BG1 Unfinished Business ("BG1UB") is a mod designed to restore many of the cut items, quests, and encounters from the original Baldur's Gate game's final release, as well as try to tie up some of the "loose ends."

https://github.com/AstroBryGuy/bg1ub/releases/latest

Note: Some of the BG1UB components are blocked from installing, as they are included or superceded by BGEE. Here is a list of components that can be installed on BGEE:
Ice Island Level Two Restoration
The Mysterious Vial
Finishable Kagain Caravan Quest
Coran and the Wyverns*
Kivan and Tazok
Branwen and Tranzig
Place Entar Silvershield in His Home
Scar and the Sashenstar's Daughter
Quoningar, the Cleric
Shilo Chen and the Ogre-Magi
Edie, the Merchant League Applicant
Creature Corrections
Creature Restorations
Creature Name Restorations
Minor Dialog Restorations
Store, Tavern and Inn Fixes and Restorations**
Item Corrections and Restorations
Prism and the Emeralds Tweak
Duke Eltan in the Harbor Master's Building
Nim Furlwing Encounter
Svlast the Fallen Paladin
Mal-Kalen the Ulcaster Revenant
***Chapter 6 Dialog Restorations

*Superceded in BGEE v2.x
**Most of this component is already included in BGEE.
***New component for v15

NOTE: if you're installing both BG1UB and BG1NPC, BG1NPC has its own versions of the following components: Finishable Kagain Caravan Quest, Coran and the Wyverns, Kivan and Tazok, Branwen and Tranzig. If you install BG1UB first, do NOT install these components since BG1NPC does not detect BG1UB. If you install BG1UB after BG1NPC, it will detect BG1NPC and skip these components.

Also, Northern Tales of the Sword Coast and Jarl's Adventure Pack contain alternate restorations of Nim Furlwing and Svlast. BG1UB will skip those components if those other mods' components are present.

[MOD] Bubb's Spell Menu (Update: v2.0!)

February 10, 2018, 2:52 pm
$
0
0

Overview:

This mod seeks to replace the standard hotbar spell selection with a more powerful version. The set of enhancements over the default spell selection includes a searchable spell list, and the ability to sort spells based on name, primary type, and level.

Versions:

Normal

Screenshots:

Searching for "Summon"



Sorting by Name



Sorting by Primary Type



Sorting by Level





Changelog:
v1.3: Switched to github for hosting.
v1.2: Fixed bug where duplicate spell entries were being shown. Cleaned up code.
v1.1: Added Type category. Fixed alignment issue with search bar. Refactored code.
v1.0: Initial release.

Light

Overview:

I'm sure some have felt like the normal version of this mod goes over the top. The menu is big, it's bulky, and it is somewhat intrusive to the world screen. In consideration to this feeling I've made a "light" version of this mod, which only includes a search bar. This version is much more integrated with the vanilla GUI, as the search results are displayed in the hotbar itself; nice and tucked away on the bottom of the screen.

Standalone features:

The spell selection uses the default behavior until a term is inserted into the search bar. Once a search term is entered the hotbar transforms into a list of search results; these results mimic the default spell selection behavior.

Note: The green slot in the search results is the slot that will be picked if "enter" is pressed while typing in the search field. This is useful for quickly picking a spell when you've typed enough characters to narrow the list down to one entry.

Screenshots:

Searching for "Summon"



Searching for "Protection from"





Changelog:
v1.6: Added new patching functionality to WeiDU installer, making the mod compatible with most other UI mods.
v1.5: Fixed WeiDU bug. Added spell count for mage and priest spells.
v1.4:
Fixed alignment of slots to match vanilla.
Made compatible with quickspell selection.
Honors if the game was paused like extended edition.
Will no longer bug-out if spell button was disabled when pressed.
Fixed spellUUIDs being shown in temple healing services.
v1.3: Switched to github for hosting.
v1.2: Reverted unintentional edits to message box. Cleaned up code.
v1.1: Critical fix regarding a failure to pick spell when hotbar was moved before inputting search term.
v1.0: Initial release.

Extended

Overview:

If the list view from the normal version of this mod doesn't strike your fancy, this version very well might. This version emulates the slots from the default spell selection, and arranges them in such a way that all spells will be visible at once. This is useful for players who are irritated by the lack of visibility in the default spell selection.

Screenshots:

Cleric / Mage All Spells



Cleric / Mage Filter By Mage Spells



Cleric / Mage Filter By Cleric Spells



Cleric / Mage Left Align





Changelog:
v2.0:
- Complete refactor of code, many bug fixes, many code style improvements. - Slots are now variable in size, being able to be optimized and changed at runtime - either manually or automatically. - Added settings menu, including the ability to toggle the following options: Auto-Pause: Controls whether the game is paused when the spell menu is opened. Automatically Optimize Slot Size: Attempts to fit all slots on the screen without the use of arrows. Darken Background: A slight dimming of the background, can be used with “Modal” turned off to create a much more tolerable background. Modal: Whether or not background GUI elements are blocked. This overlays a hardcoded darkening effect on all background GUI elements, so this must be turned off to completely disable any darkening effects. It is unknown what bugs can occur with this setting turned off. - Spell levels are now displayed in the spell menu. - Spell levels can now occupy more than one row; a maximum of 18 rows are able to be displayed at one time. - Expanded maximum slot count per row to 50, for high resolution monitors with Scale User Interface turned off. - Improved installer; installation time reduced from several minutes to seconds. - Many more internal and minor changes.
v1.17: Added support for BGEE with SoD.
v1.16: General fixing of bugs revolving around opcode 214.
v1.15: Added support for spells that use opcode 214.
v1.14: Fixed SPELL_UUIDs appearing in places. Fixed dialog history changing dialog text to "|". Fixed NO TEXT spell names being displayed in message box.
v1.13: Started escaping backslashes in spell names in BGEE.lua to fix installation bug.
v1.12: Fixed typo in lefreut's Improved Record Screen compatibility patch.
v1.11: Improved spell icon detection and fixed SPELL_UUIDs showing on HLA screen.
v1.10: Fixed bug in UIUtil.exe regarding reading .uipatch files.
v1.9: Added compatibility with lefreut's Improved Record Screen.
v1.8: Added cross-platform safeguards.
v1.7: Added new patching functionality to WeiDU installer, making the mod compatible with most other UI mods.
v1.6: Ported search bar from light edition. Fixed bug in extreme case where first and last spells were hidden.
v1.5: Fixed WeiDU bug. Added spell count to mage and priest spells.
v1.4: Switched to github for hosting. Fixed quickspell selection. Fixed spell uuids showing in temple healing services.
v1.3: I was an idiot and accidentally changed something in WeiDU that broke the mod when you cast a spell, all is fixed now.
v1.2: Added spell type filtering. Added optional left align.
v1.1: Fixed Spell UUIDs appearing in the priest spell selection in character creation.
v1.0: Initial release.

Hello,

I'm glad to release the fourth mod from my enhanced UI mods trilogy :) This time for IWD:EE.

This UI mod contains mostly the same features and tweaks as my other enhanced UI mods so if you're already familiar with them you should like it :) Otherwise, there are some screenshots in this post so you can see the changes I made.

The record screen is not done because I'm not sure if I want to do it or not, the dialog code is completely new, let my know if it's better than the old code and some other things might differ.

This mod contains the full UI.menu (and resources) and should be used only if you don't have any other UI modifications.

Installation:

Download the archive here.
This mod is compatible with IWD:EE v2.5 only.
Extract the contents of the archive into your game folder (the folder which contains the chitin.key file) and then double-click setup-LeUI-IWDEE.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

Game Data Editing Tutorial (Hex Style) - Android Friendly

Editing Infinity Engine Game Data (on Android)

COPYRIGHT: I have found this tutorial posted elsewhere with others taking credit! Beamdog forums has the only official and author authorized post. If you reproduce it, be courteous enough to give me credit - in fact, I insist upon it. You must give credit to "Trasd" and link to this post. If you follow this very simple and reasonable requirement, you are free to repost it.

Please Note: These techniques work with any OS, but I chose to demonstrate on Android for the reasons sited.

It seems, once again, as far as convenience, Android users are left out in the cold. Specifically, I am referring to the Beamdog Infinity Engine game ports' modding and console cheats. I don't blame Beamdog in the least (in fact, I both praise them for their efforts and applaud them for their accomplishments), but it would be nice if we could enjoy the same benefits as players of other OSs!

I find it highly unlikely Android users will ever be able to load most Infinity Engine game mods or that all users will be able to get to the console. To help close the gap just a little, I've decided to write a couple tutorials on editing saved games. This is essentially what a saved-game editor does, we're just going to do it manually and, we're going to do it all on Android itself (these same techniques work perfectly well on other OSs, but there are usually much easier methods for those). Theoretically, you can change nearly all values associated with your characters (any dynamic game data, for that matter), but it can get very complicated. I'm going to keep the tutorials fairly simple. My goal is not to show you how to change every modifiable value in your game, but to give you the knowledge and techniques necessary to do this for yourself. For sanity's sake, though, I would suggest using these procedures for nothing more than simple game tweaks.

Be aware, you will be editing the games' raw data (I hesitate to call it hacking because I believe executable code is hacked, data is edited). Even keeping it simple, it's easy to get confused (hopefully not with this tutorial, though), I still do and I've been doing this stuff for over 35 years (see Notes at the bottom of this post)! Always make a backup (you only need to copy the files to somewhere safe). Also, be aware, sometimes problems won't show up until much later; simple changes can have unexpected and catastrophic consequences and sometimes, a cascading effect. If you have problems with your Beamdog Infinity Engine game after editing one of its files, do not (I repeat, do not) blame me or Beamdog or, bother them with bug reports (unless you can reproduce the problem with a clean game). You are on your own! Take responsibility for your own actions. OK, this was actually the disclaimer, but if I put "disclaimer" at the beginning, no one would read this paragraph!

If you are not technically inclined, stop here or proceed with extreme caution (I don't give specific step-by-step instructions on what I consider to be prerequisite knowledge). At a minimum, you will need to be able to manipulate hexadecimal values. If you decide to do this, you will need a hexadecimal editor and calculator (for my recommendations, see the app links below). If you are not comfortable with these procedures, you should be able to transfer the data to your PC, then edit it with a saved-game editor (I haven't tried this, but it should work fine).

The apps needed (or something similar) are:
  • A hexadecimal calculator (I use NeoCal*, but there are alternatives)
  • A hexadecimal editor (I use Hex Editor Pro*, but there may be alternatives, though I haven't found one)
* I link to and use the Pro version of these apps because I believe people should be paid for their work (and I hate ads), but some do offer a free and or ad-supported version.

I also suggest bookmarking the following sites:
  • BGII item code list (many of these item codes work across all Beamdog's Enhanced Editions (in theory) as they share the same engine)
  • IWD item code list (Sorcerer's Place)
  • Infinity Engine game data file formats, which give you a rough idea of where to look, what to look for, and its format and size (in this tutorial we're specifically interested in the CRE layout)
Don't worry if all this looks intimidating, this tutorial should, at the least, get you through editing your ability scores and manipulating inventory items. After that, you should be knowledgeable enough to proceed on your own.


Editing Ability Scores

Screenshots at the bottom.

This procedure can be used on both saved game files (BALDUR.gam) and character files (*.chr). One thing you need to be aware of (you can see this by examining the CRE file format linked above) is that ability scores are in a different order than they are presented in-game. Instead of: Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, then Cha, the data files store them as: Str, Str Bonus, Int, Wis, Dex, Con, then Cha. Since we will be using the ability scores to locate specific characters in the BALDUR.gam file (character names are not necessarily stored with their data), I suggest you write them down in the data file's order (translating them to hex at this point can save time). If you happen to have more than one character with the same ability scores, examine the data beneath the scores to help determine which toon you are viewing.

In this tutorial's example, we will be editing the Strength Bonus ability score in a BALDUR.gam file. Editing ability scores is quite easy. I will be using the following scores in the example (you will use your own toon's scores for your game, that's why we write them down), most likely, your values will be different than my example's:

Ability Decimal Hexadecimal
Strength1812
Strength Bonus311f
Intelligence100a
Wisdom110b
Dexterity1610
Constitution1812
Charisma808

For the example, lets say this is a Dwarven fighter and we want the strength bonus to be 100% (hex 64, aka 0x64). We need to change the 31 (0x1f) to 100 (0x64).
  1. Write down the ability scores of the character(s) you want to modify making sure to put them in the data file's order: Str, Str Bonus, Int, Wis, Dex, Con, Cha, then convert them to hexadecimal and put them together (side-by-side) [in the example, the resulting value would be: 121f0a0b101208 - from the hexadecimal column above]
  2. Open the BALDUR.gam save file you want to edit in Hex Editor Pro
  3. Search for the hex value of the toon you want to modify (the value you previously wrote down) keeping in mind that you usually only need the first three or four values to uniquely identify the character [in the example, we'd use 121f0a0b, then verify the rest (101208) in Hex Editor Pro's left pane to make sure we are working on the correct character]
  4. Tap the ability score you want to modify in Hex Editor Pro's left pane [in the example, we would tap 1f]
  5. In the resulting Edit dialog box, confirm the value displayed (to make sure you tapped the correct entry) and change it to whatever value you want (in hex) [in the example, we'd change it to 64 (hex for 100)]
  6. Tap the disk icon in the Edit dialog box to commit your changes
  7. Tap the disk icon in the menu bar to save the file
That's it! Open the game and verify your new ability score (make sure you load the modified saved game). If the toon's score is not what you expected, restore your backup and try again.


Manipulating Inventory Items

Screenshots at the bottom.

In this tutorial, we are going to add a Bag of Holding (BAG31) to our inventory! At the beginning of a game, I use this procedure to add a Find Familiar scroll (SCRL6D) to my main magic user's inventory so I don't have to worry about finding the spell or wasting a spell slot.

Rather than trying to calculate exactly where each inventory slot's data address begins (based off the CRE data format information linked above), which is fraught with danger, I'm going to teach you a much easier method. The best way I've found to insure I'm editing a valid address is to put a cheap, unique item into an empty slot before saving the game; a placeholder. I don't recommend using a stackable item, but if you do, make sure there is only one and not a stack (even if it appears to work with a quantity greater than one, the data will not be what the engine expects and this translates to trouble).

For the example, we will assume our Dwarven fighter (from the previous tutorial) does not normally carry a dagger and so, we'll use one as the placeholder. Grab an ordinary dagger (DAGG01) from somewhere in the game and put it into one of your character's inventory slots, then save the game.
  1. Use the procedure outlined in the previous tutorial to identify the character who's inventory you want to modify
  2. Open the BALDUR.gam file you want to edit in Hex Editor Pro
  3. Search for the hex value of the toon you want to modify (the value you previously wrote down) [in the example, if we continue with the modified Dwarven character from the previous tutorial, we'd search for the hex value 12640a0b (notice the 64 now, instead of 1f), then verify the rest of the scores (101208) in Hex Editor Pro's left pane to make sure we are working on the correct character]
  4. Look for DAGG01 (in Hex Editor Pro's right pane) below the ability scores (if you examine the CRE format, you'll see a character's inventory items are below the ability scores), it shouldn't be too far down
  5. In the left pane, tap on 44, the capital letter D's hexadecimal value (this should be on the same row as the 'D' in DAGG01 you found in the right pane - count the spaces if needed to insure you're editing the correct 'D' if there is more than one on that row, the correct one begins the "44 41 47 47 30 31" sequence), and you will get Hex Editor Pro's Edit dialog box
  6. In the Edit dialog box, tap the small white down-arrow and select the ASCII radio button (the 44 on the edit line will change to the letter D)
  7. Change the 'D' to a 'B', then to get to the next value, tap the '>' icon in the dialog box (Item codes are case-sensitive: there are a few Bag of Holding codes, but from my experience, BAG31 is the only one that works correctly)
  8. Continue changing DAGG01 to BAG31 until you get to the final '1' and, as the Bag of Holding code is shorter than the dagger's item code, be sure to replace the final '1' in DAGG01 with 00 (do not use the space bar, either switch back to hex and enter 00 (zero zero) or just delete the value from the edit line altogether (Hex Edit Pro will replace an empty edit line with 00), this final value must be 00 in the left pane); in the right pane, "DAGG01" should now be replaced with "BAG31." (zero zero from the left pane is represented as a period in the right pane) and in the left pane, "44 41 47 47 30 31" should now be "42 41 47 33 31 00"
  9. Tap the disk icon in the Edit dialog box to commit your changes
  10. Tap the disk icon in the menu bar to save the file
That's it! Open the game and verify your new Bag of Holding (make sure you load the modified saved game). If something did not work, restore your backup and try again.

Do not try to add quest items with this method - it will not work (no triggers are activated) and will usually result in a corrupt game. You've been warned.


I hope this helps! Remember, with knowledge comes responsibility. Be careful as you can easily make the game boring by over-powering your party.

If any part of these tutorials is unclear or if you find a mistake, please send me a PM so I can correct it.

Have fun!

Notes

One of the ways working on raw data can become confusing is in an understanding of which method a system chooses to store its values in memory. All Android devices (from my understanding) use a technique called little-endian, though strictly speaking, they don't have to (it depends upon a number of factors). This topic is far to complicated for me to try to explain here, so I will just give an example and leave it to you to explore further, if you feel the need.

Lets say your party currently has 964 (0x03c4) gold pieces and you want to change it to 2000 even (0x07d0). The easiest way would be to simply search for your current number of gold pieces and change the value, but because the data is stored in little-endian, you have to reverse the hexadecimal numbers (this is because the value here is 2 bytes wide, not 1, like with ability scores). Instead of searching for 03c4, you'd have to search for c403 (the bytes in the word are stored with the least significant byte at the lowest address) and replace it with d007! I told you it can get confusing! For numbers that are larger than a single byte (greater than 8 bits: 4 bits = a single hexadecimal digit), just remember to reverse the hexadecimal values (the hex digit pairs) when manipulating them.

I prepared a new mod for everyone who believes that Skie's story should be continued in BG2EE, especially after everything that happened in Siege of Dragonspear DLC. I present you my project: Skie - The Cost of One Girl's Soul.


SKIE: THE COST OF ONE GIRL'S SOUL

AUTHOR: Lava Del'Vortel | PLATFORM: BG2EE


ABOUT THE MOD:

The mod gives the player a chance to continue the Skie plot begun in Siege of Dragonspear. The DLC gave the Silvershield girl a very important role in it's plot, but I felt it was so important that it should be somehow continued in BG2 portion of the game. The mod has two different components:

=> component A - Skie: The Cost of One Girl's Soul - New quest for Baldur's Gate 2 EE => this component provides a new quest that gives player a chance to save Skie Silvershield after what happened in Siege of Dragonspear. You should be warned, though, that saving her comes with a price. The mod starts in Irenicus' Dungeon, when you find the main quest item.

=> component B - Allow Skie to return as a joinable NPC => this components allows you to join Skie if you decide to help the Silvershield girl and succeed. She will find you after some time. She will start to look for you in certain inns, so remember to stop and rest a while from time to time. The NPC comes with some timered and situation talks, banters with each NPC (at least 2 in SoA + 1 in ToB), interjections, an epilogue and other things joinable companions should include. Note that there is no romance here, as I wanted to stress companionship and loyalty based on friendship rather romantic love. The NPC component was written to enjoy Skie's presence in the group, rather than provide hundreds of lines, but she should talk to you once in a while. In terms of size, she could be compared to Kulyok's Tiax or Coran.

Note that Skie in this mod is supposed to continue the Siege of Dragonspear character, so Skie may be a tiny bit mature, but still a bit reckless and will not hesitate to tell how she feels about people and events. The change in her character may be seen in both dialogues and soundset.

Also, to make her portrait blend in better with Baldur's Gate II style of portraits, the mod uses edited version of her original picture.


The mod includes some crossmod. Check the up to date readme file for details.


Special thanks to @typo_tilly - she is the one who proofread the whole text and helped me to release this mod.


How to join Skie:

After your talk to Missini, wait for 2-3 days and rest in any of Athkatla's Inns.

Baldur's Gate Arms and Armour Emporium

Hello I am looking for some moral support in making some new Baldur's Gate content (instead of feeling like a troglodyte).

The idea: Baldur's Gate should have a proper arms and armour shop in the trade district (seems weird without one eh?).

Here is the project so far:

Downstairs:


Upstairs:


Context:


More useful information: Custom sound files are already made from this guy's voice for the Dwarven blacksmith: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGca03sbLq7OUnXMdvRHyBQ (I didn't ask him I just ripped them off of youtube and made them more 'Baldur's Gate-y' in Audacity). The upstairs sells +2 standard magical weapons and armour and some +1 exotic and rare weapons and armour as well as some other exotic magical equipment.

Progress: Currently I am being a lazy bastard and want to talk to people about this project. I feel that I should do a small mod first and get some stuff into the community from my work pile of new Baldur's Gate high quality content. It seems that I must finish up brushing / blending and gutting and adding nice looking arms and armour do-dads from other Infinity Engine games. Such as Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II; I have some appropriate do-dads picked out I just need to work more (Any do-dad suggestions?) Also I want to add a chimney to the roof out side (and I got one picked out):

[mod in progress] Will to Power*

* (working title. Also under consideration: "the Will and the Way," "the Ardent Mind," "the Mind's Eye," and "Time-Life Books: Mysteries of the Unknown.")

I'm creating this thread for discussion about the psionics mod I'm working on. It started as a single component in Might & Guile, adding a rogue kit that could use psionic powers chosen via that mod's Feat System. I have since improved the reliability of the way psionics abilities work, and greatly expanded the number of abilities available for use. Now I am breaking it off as an independent mod, so that it doesn't fly under the radar as a little piece of Might & Guile.

The mod is not ready yet; there's still a hefty 'to-do' list:
- create all abilities (90% done)
- write descriptions of each ability (85% done)
- set up system to apply under-the-hood stats to keep track of which powers you have learned (10% done)
- set up 7eyes opcode to recognize and use those stats (0% done)
- set up spell files to use abilities in-game (0% done)
- make Beamdog enable target mode 7 for item abilities (50% done :tongue: )
- set up dialogue for learning new abilities (25% done)
- organize installation of mod components (95% done)
- code integration with the Might & Guile feat system so that warriors and rogues can be "wild talents" (25% done)
- proper readme (50% done)
- release v1 of the mod (0% done)
- deal with strongholds (0% done)
- integrate "psionic" abilities of illithids and Planar Sphere halflings etc. (0% done)

Here is the description of the way psionics works, and the classes and abilities involved:

THE WtP PSIONICS SYSTEM

In the Forgotten Realms you may commonly find magic users, who use words and gestures to harness, control, and shape external energies that infuse the world. A psion, on the other hand, learns to harness, control, and shape the energy that infuses his own being. The ability to utilize that energy results from a combination of long study, intense meditation, and rigorous physical conditioning. Through that training, a psion develops the ability to expand his mind past the limits of his body. With experience, he may perform great feats of strength, manipulate energy, move objects, or touch others' minds. While this seems supernatural, for a skilled psion it is no different from the way he uses his mind to lift his arm, or move his legs to walk.

Of course, hard running and heavy lifting take a toll on the body, and psionics is no different. Just as muscles contain stores of chemical energy that can be depleted, only to be recharged by rest and eating, so do psionic powers temporarily utilize stored biological energy. In-game, this is represented by a temporary reduction in your maximum hit points.
- Example 1: a low-level psion with 10 hit points has been struck by a dagger, and now has 8 left. He decides to put some space between himself and his attacker, using Project Force. The stated cost of Project Force is 4 max hp. The target is knocked down and flung away; the psion is reduced from 8/10 hp to 4/6 hp. He will regenerate 1 hp every 12 seconds, until he is back to 8/10 hp 8 rounds after using Project Force.
- Example 2: that same psion next faces an Enchanter and wants to protect himself against mental attacks by raising a Mind Ward. The stated cost of Mind Ward is 4 max hp, just like Project Force, but Mind Ward is a maintainable power. The psion can raise the Ward and his hp will drop to 4/6; and they will stay that way as long as he maintains the protection. After the magical threat is gone he can cancel the Mind Ward, and from that point his max hp will be restored over 8 rounds.

That's right: there are no PSPs in this mod. I couldn't figure out a good way to do it. Moreover, 2E-style PSPs only regenerate when you rest (sort of), so playing a psion with PSPs would be not much different from playing a sorcerer. Using health and allowing it to regenerate makes the gameplay associated with the class more unique and interesting compared to the vanilla classes. (It also makes game balance difficult to get just right, so I will happily listen to critiques from players about how this actually works in the game.) The convenient thing is, your hp go up as you level, which means your store of psionic power will automatically go up as well. Now, psionic effects will tend to be noticeably weaker than the magic spells used by a spellcaster of a similar level. Likewise, psionic attacks may be weaker than the melee attacks of a warrior of a similar level. However, a psion has a flexibility unmatched by warrior or wizard.

- Compared to the warriors, a psion may create pseudo-superhuman effects to react to the circumstances: hardening his skin to resist physical damage, or shoving dangerous enemies out of weapon range, or superheating the edge of his weapon to make it more deadly.

- Compared to spellcasters, a psion is not bound by the limits of memorization. As long as his body can continue to recharge his stores of energy, he can use his abilities indefinitely. And while it takes several seconds for spellcasters to clear their magical aura and cast again, a psion may use powers at will, only slightly slowed down by the mental fatigue of using them in rapid succession. (In game terms, psionic powers have a 'casting time' of 1 and behave as if the player has Improved Alacrity active; but the use of each power induces a +2 penalty to casting time for one round, so their use become progressively slower if you use them quickly.)

THE WtP PSIONIC CLASSES

There are three psionic classes in this mod. They all fall under the broad term "psion" which I use to mean any character focused on the use of psionics.

The Psionicist is in the Rogue class. This kit focuses on learning and intellectual prowess; to a Psionicist, psychic powers are a skill to master through study and practice, not much different from sleight of hand or picking locks. A psionicist has the following characteristics:
- May learn one psionic ability per level
- HD: 1d6+1 per level
- Attacks: as a rogue
- Reduced thief skill development (12 points per level)
- Backstab multiplier limited to x2
- Cannot dual-class to a spellcasting class

The Soulblade combines meditation and the study of psionics with intense physical conditioning, understanding that the body is a battery that powers his abilities. A Soulblade has the following characteristics:
- May learn one psionic ability every two levels
- HD: 1d8 per level
- Attacks: as a warrior
- Limited to Mastery (3 stars) with weapons
- Limited to light/medium armors
- Cannot dual-class to a spellcasting class

- The Psypher is an ascetic monk who achieves a near-mystical union of body and mind. A Psypher has the following characteristics:
- May learn one psionic ability per level
- HD: 1d8 per level
- Attacks: as a monk, including monk unarmed attacks
- Does not gain the magical abilities or resistance of other monks
- Cannot dual-class

BG1NPC Project has been updated and officially released with BGEE compatibility!

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).

Project Website: http://www.gibberlings3.net/bg1npc/
Download: https://github.com/Gibberlings3/BG1NPC/releases/latest
README: http://www.gibberlings3.net/readmes/readme-bg1npc.html


Note for Steam/GOG users with SoD installed: Before installing BG1NPC or any other mods, you will need to use the ModMerge utility to make your game moddable.

* 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.

* 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.

Custom portraits and capital letters ?

Hi,

Is there a general thread how to deal with custom portraits for the enhanced games (especailly BGEE) because this is driving me crazy at the moment :smile:

What are the filename rules (the L/M thing, capital letters or not, …) ?

Why does a filename picture written/shown with capital letters stacks ?

Why do some files are written in capital letters and other not ?

Sometimes the L and the M pictures are considered by the game as separate pictures (and then will be shown twice). How do i avoid this ?

.. etc … AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Northern Tales of the Sword Coast (NTotSC) v2.1.0 for BG:EE (and BGT and EET) - Download

NTotSC v2.1.0 for BGT, BG:EE, and EET

Northern Tales of the Sword Coast (NTotSC) adds several quests to the BG1 part (with TotSC) to the game. Some are minor encounters with no further impact, but some are larger quests that are also partly connected to each other.

This is a BGT, BG:EE, and EET version of the original mod. As of version 2.0, NTotSC is no longer dependent on DSotSC. If you want to play the two mods together, install DSotSC first. The versions supported are:
-for BGT/EET: version by k4thos
-for BG:EE: version by Red Carnelian (this mod is still beta, too).

To reach the new areas via worldmap, you need to install BP-BGT-worldmap for BGT after NTotSC and start a new game. For BG:EE, this is no longer needed, thank you to AstroBryGuy for providing the worldmap tweak!

Since v2.0, the quests are less restrictive in their order, especially in the order of when to talk to whom, in the sense of no dead ends because a quest character was talked to too early. The only restrictions remaining are: The Northern Citadel Quest will be handed out from Duke Eltan when he summons the PC in the original game. The Temple of the Black Hand will only be revealed after the demon in Ulgoth's Beard is defeated.
All other quests can either be "walked into", received from multiple persons (e.g. "The Field of the Dead"), or received by killing the quest giver instead of going on his fedex quest (e.g. the Ice Slamander or Eldod - they will have the appropriate keys on them.) Also, the mod now uses the prefix "NT". The package comes with a detailed list of Changes including altered variable names. If your mod has crossmod content with NTotSC and you are nervous about the changes, let me know and I will help you concerning compatibility with v2.1.0.

Test reports welcome! I tested myself on all platforms but there is always something one pair of eyes will miss.

Game crashes as I enter hell

Playing a modded game via BWS (Big World Setup)
I chose the "Recommended" setting, and then added SCS + Ascension.
Game has been running flawless so far, but now it crashes every time immediately when entering hell after the battle with Jon at the tree.
Wondering if this is a known problem, if others have had it or if someone has any idea which mod might cause it.
I'm playing on steam with the latest patch.

- mystic warrior abilities

- changes to spellbinder


2017-08-13
Version 0.74f

- added conjure water elemental to water sphere
- fixed shades and shadow monsters

2017-08-10

Version 0.74b

- Fixed an error with an errant "/"

2017-08-09

Version 0.74

This is v0.74. I bumped the version number because there are a few meaningful changes:

- Added 6 Mystic Warrior kits (fighter/druid versions of the Mystics). These are lightly-armored and limited to weaker weapons - dagger, short sword, club, staff, sling etc. - but they pack the elemental power and resistances of the Mystic kits.

- Scout kits (Stalker, Archer, Slinger, Mage Hunter, Barbarian Ranger) should be able to be any alignment and should not fall. (EDIT - darn, I hope this doesn't mess up IWDEE... need to double-check.)

- DISABLED DUAL-CLASSING to cleric or ranger. Yeah, I did that. Be warned. BUT...

- Added an .ini file with two settings: one to enable dual-classing, and one to prevent minor-access spells being moved to a higher level.

- This .ini file, unlike most mods', should be compatible with BWS. You can copy the file, make whatever changes you want, and drop it into your override folder before installing any mods. That should preserve your preferences, while keeping the original version in the mod folder unchanged (I know BWS freaks out about files sizes and whatnot). This is experimental, and I don't have Windows, so I don't have BWS and can't experiment. Players, let me know if/how it works.

2017-08-08

Version 073b
- All spells are granted at 1st level, instead of spells from different levels being granted at different level-ups.
- Sphere access is independent of the spell table; so this is compatible with any mods that alter spell tables.
- Minor access now means the opposite of what focus access means: minor-access spells are shifted one level higher. So Cure Light Wounds becomes a 2nd-level spell, Holy Smite becomes 4th-level, etc. Minor access is still limited to 3rd-level spells (which become 4th-level spells.)
- Paladins and Rangers get full access to spheres just like clerics; you will see 7th-level spells in your spellbook but will be unable to cast them. This means that, equally, the sphere system is now compatible with any kind of changes you make to paladin and ranger spell tables. FnP will supply our tables for these classes, but feel free to overwrite them with any other mods, like Tweaks Anthology. To paraphrase Apple, it will 'Just Work.'
- Theoretically, this means that we can now give focus access and minor access to paladins and rangers, to accentuate certain spheres. I haven't done it in this build, but this could be yet another nice little way to differentiate kits.
- If you only want the sphere system and not any new kits, trueclass kits now get their proper spells. (This fixes a bug in v0.72b.)
- Fewer sphere spells are required to be created in the background to make all this work: 69 spells instead of 322. Other small efficiency improvements have been made. Hopefully this leads to slightly quicker install times.

- Elemental sphere descriptions are all over the place (only for custom spells)
- Disrupt Undead says that it's part of the death sphere (but it's part of the life sphere)
- Many multi class kits missing
- prayer and rec spells

Faiths and Powers: Gods of the Realms

This purpose of this thread is to announce a mod created by @subtledoctor and myself which will increase the number of options for cleric and divine classes. This thread will also host discussion about specific implementation and (in time) be the place to download the actual mod.

The first few posts will contain the most up-to-date information about the mod itself.

Goals

This mod has a few goals:

-To allow all cleric characters (as well as others) to select a god, and have that selection translate into meaningful, flavorful, abilities and disadvantages for their character.

-Related, to allow for different orders within a given church hierarchy to have their own unique, and flavorful abilities.

-To expand the number of selections to an indefinite (as now) number of deities (my personal hope is to include all of the Gods and orders of Faerun, if possible)

-To expand role-play options based on these selections (a very long term goal)

Features


With these goals in mind, the plan (already in motion) is to include the following:

- A sphere system. This is not identical to pnp, at least partially because keeping too close to pnp leaves players with few spells in some cases, or leaves cleric characters without spells that allow them to do what is generally expected of them (as seen in DR).

- "Real" kits. Initial Kits will not be deity specific. Rather, deity selection will occur in a dialog format. This selection will alter their kit in various ways depending on the deity selected. So, you might select a "Champion" kit at character creation. But champion of who? Well, for that you have to select your deity. Many of these 'sub-kits' will have unique name. For example, if you created a Champion, and selected Tempus, your title will be "Gloryblood of Tempus". Deity selection will be limited by race, kit, and alignment (and occasionally, stats). So, for example, your Chaotic Evil, Cha 4, Champion will not be able to select Sune. But, at the same time, alignments will be expanded as they make sense for each deity. For example, you do not necessarily have to be evil to select Talos as your patron. Maybe you are more unstable than evil, and would like your chaotic neutral priest to worship Talos (rather than Helm(?)). This will be possible (and, chaotic neutral Helmites will not be possible.)

- Altered quests and dialog depending on deity selection. This is a very, very long term goal, and will not be included in the initial release, but the idea is that clerics of various deities will react differently to (eg) the events in the cleric stronghold as well as the events leading up to the stronghold. Your Chaotic Neutral Stormbringer of Talos will not join another church. Also, expect Glorybloods to take the fighter stronghold rather than work for some stuffy Helmites.

In this post we will describe the various kits and class changes. In the following posts, domains, and deities will be described.

(Note that all abilities are in flux. As the specifics change, these posts will be updated. Please, please, feel free to give suggestions and (constructive) criticism!)

Eve of War [Work in progress]

Eve of War

Highlights

- Currently contains approximately 28,000 words of new text. Including unique dialogue options based on alignment, race, stats, classes, and kits.

- Contains 12 new quests, new approaches and outcomes for existing quests,1 new area, and three new NPCs.


- Removes many existing main plot restrictions:

Candlekeep: On top of the usual method a player character can now also leave Candlekeep after either attacking Gorion or after turning Candlekeep hostile. Removing Gorion's instant death restriction in the process (though Tethoril retains his own).

Lion's Way: Allows a player to reject Imoen during their initial meeting after Gorion's death (she will sneak back in to Candlekeep). If you kill Imoen while in Candlekeep in the prologue she won't appear for this initial meeting. If you reject her initially you won't be able to pick her up again until chapter 6.

Cloakwood Mines: Players can now choose to take control of the mine instead of flooding it. This gives you a varying degree of income that you can pick up every three days from a store in the south-west of Baldur's Gate. Obviously taking over a mine run by slaves has its consequences.

Baldur's Gate: Removes Duke Eltan's auto-kill used on players that refuse to tell him what they know about the Iron Throne. Players who wish to can acquire the necessary book and chapter advance needed to return to Candlekeep by helping the Thieves Guild after being requested by Alatos. Regardless of who they choose to help out they can also hand over Balduran's Logbook at the doors of Candlekeep as well.

Coronation Ceremony: A player character can bring Duke Eltan's body to the ceremony, who will himself call Sarevok out on his treachery. Sarevok, sensing that he has failed, will then choose to attack. In general players who have returned Duke Eltan to the harbormaster will not be instantly killed by the grand dukes.

If Liia and Belt are killed then its not an automatic death for the player. Provided you have saved Duke Eltan.


- Incorporates information from PnP sourcebooks regarding this region of the world. Locations like Beregost, Nashkel, Gullykin, Durlag's Tower, the Firewine Ruins, and the Firewine Bridge are adjusted to reflect what books like the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Lands of Intrigue, and Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast say about them. Existing characters are adjusted to reflect their stats and abilities as mentioned in the Heroes Lorebook.

- Incorporates unused files and dialogues from the original game.

- Variables created in this mod will be used in A Journey's End (its successor mod in BG2EE). I haven't worked out all the details on this yet though.

- The mod has main components and secondary components. I've organized it however so that if you just want one component (for instance an increase in how often it snows in Nashkel) it shouldn't be a problem.

This mod largely begins once you enter Beregost. Its storyline expands over the course of chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 though there will be some minor additions made in Chapters 1 and 2. More details follow



Friendly Arm Inn

- On the northern edge of the map along the road you can run into a caravan (a merchant with a dead horse and a dead woman found down the road from him). You can claim you are a bandit and then threaten to take his goods. This is taking advantage of the unused banmer.dlg file from the original game (chapter 3). If you have taken the goods then when you encounter the bandits in either Peldvale or Larswood you can use it to convince them of your worth.

- The Friendly Arm Inn's courtyard has been converted into a makeshift warcamp. Flaming Fist troops can be found training in it (chapter 5 or later).


Beregost

- Adds a town watch headquarters to Beregost and labels the Travenhurst Manor as the Town Council building.

- Kelddath Ormlyr, Taerom, and a Familiar (representing Thalantyr) are now added around the table in the Town Council buildings first floor.

- Adds a watch to the streets of Beregost (this occurs starting in Chapter 3).

- Adds Modest (a drunk Blade) to the towns inns (his location will vary to a degree depending upon the time of day).

- Adds a thief named Bethi to one of the gardens in the north-west corner of Beregost. She sells you iron goods that won't break as well as some specialty items from Waterdeep.

- Acolytes of Lathander can be found in the Burning Wizard (tending to the wounds of town watch members and
soldiers)

- An Acolyte of Lathander is now serving the temple (instead of Kelddath).

- A head smithy is now serving the smithy (instead of Taerom)

- The Flaming Fist now have a much more visible presence in the city, alongside the town's watch (Chapter 5). This presence again increases in chapter 6. Their dialogue discusses how the situation is unfolding and it will adjust depending on the chapter.

- Local bartenders and acolytes in the temple (through acquired drinks and temple donations) comment on the fear they now have over the possibility of a war. (not yet implemented)


High Hedge

- An Aquatic Elf can now be found near a pond in the north-west corner of the map. She can be pressed about what she knows about Thalantyr (she will play a further role in this mod when I update it post-release). She is based off a mention in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast of Thalantyr talking to someone underneath the surface of the water.

South of High Hedge

- You can find a journal on Bassilus now. You can either read the journal and travel to the Mountain of Skulls (a Cyric Stronghold in the Cloudpeaks), or you can talk to Kelddath to learn more about what he knows about Bassilus beforehand. This is part of a quest that involves wiping out any followers of Cyric in the region.


South South of High Hedge

- On higher difficulty levels Drizzt and his full group of companions (who have been largely adjusted to fit their descriptions in the Heroes Lorebook) can be found here. Remember though, if you attack one you attack them all!


Nashkel

- Jasha Istor will approach any party trying to enter Nashkel and demand that they pay her off (she is an Icepriest of Auril). She offers temple services and you can also donate to her (through dialogue options) in order to lower your reputation. A low reputation character can also buy specialty goods from her (including the Snow Maiden's Reaver that exclusively does cold damage that is normally found in Icewind Dale and Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition).

-The Inn in Nashkel has been renamed the Northern Light Inn. Its owner is now a mage by the name of Reis Kensiddar.

- The store in Nashkel is now named the Cloud Peak Outfitters and is run by a halfling named Salla Pitontoe.

- The probability of it snowing is increased to 50 percent. It also will start snowing now when you first arrive in town (this is due to Nashkel being 2000 feet above sea level).

- A thief will appear late at night for those looking to purchase weapons and items from the Shadow Thieves in Athkatla (chapter 3 or later). (not yet implemented)

- The town's mayor will remain in front of the temple at the conclusion of the quest regarding the Nashkel Mines (normally I believe he disappears). If talked to again he will complain about the increase in troops.

- In chapters 6 and 7 there will be additional Amnish troops stationed in the town. (not yet implemented)


Carnival and Nashkel Mines

- The probability of it snowing is increased to 50 percent (this is due to Nashkel being 2000 feet above sea level).

Archaeological Site/Brage Area

- You can cast Remove Curse on Brage. This will cause him to come to his senses. You can also now return him to the garrison instead of just taking him to the temple.

Gullykin

- Gullykin is now a wild magic area. This is where you can find Yeorg.

Firewine Bridge

- The Firewine Bridge is now a wild magic area.

Firewine Ruins

- The Firewine Ruins now have more magical creatures, to reflect the descriptions provided in Volo's guide. This includes, but is not necessarily exclusively limited to, lesser clay golems and other constructs. If you have a specific wardstone in your inventory you can pass by these golems without having them attack you.
The wardstone is found in the inventory of a junk dealer in Baldur's Gate



Bandit Camp

- The Chill in the camp have been updated to more accurately reflect how they are depicted in Gold and Glory. Their portion of the camp now contains a mix of goblins, hobgoblins, orcs, and ogres.

- The Black Talons now have female bandits. This makes them more consistent with how they are depicted in Gold and Glory.

- In PnP (Gold and Glory) Taugosz Khosann (the leader of the Black Talon) is described as being a level 11 fighter (he is only a level 8 fighter in Baldur's Gate) He's also supposed to have 18/94 strength as opposed to the 18/43 strength he has in BG. I've made him level 11, adjusted his saving throws, health, and Thac0 accordingly. He's also been given 2 points towards sword and shield style. I have not changed his equipment.

- As per PnP (Gold and Glory) Ardenor Crush now is wearing Gauntlets of Ogre Strength. He now has comparable Thac0 and abilities to a level 10 fighter (which is consistent with how he is described in Gold and Glory). I've updated his thac0, health and saving throws accordingly.

- Taugosz will approach the party after they enter the tent and retrieve the letters. He will inquire as to what they were doing in it.



Cloakwood Forest

- You can now cast "Remove Curse" on Centeol, which causes her to transform back into a sorceress. This presents an alternative to outright killing her.

- Characters can now choose to take control of the mine instead of flooding it. This gives you a varying degree of income that you can pick up every three days from a store in the south-west of Baldur's Gate.

- There are additional dialogue options for druid and avenger characters.



Ice Island

- The Ice Island now has remorhaz that appear instead of ankhegs.


Werewolf Island

- Karoug is now able to be hit by any magical weapon. The Cold Iron restriction is removed. He instead has 50% magic resistance like other Greater Wolfweres. Instead of doing 1d12 damage with 3 attacks per round he has two 1d6 slashing attacks and a 2d6 piercing attack. He will also randomly summon 2d6 Dire Wolves in the event that his allies are killed and now regenerates at 8hp/second. These changes are to make him more in-line with what is found in PnP (as well as the 9th level Shapechange mage spell). Non-ship wolfweres now have 10% magic resistance to keep them consistent with PnP. Daese and other wolfweres within the ship have 25%.


Baldur's Gate (the city)


- The Temple of Umberlee now allows you to purchase goods from them and receive church services (chapter 5 or later). (not yet implemented)

- A temple dedicated to Mask now exists in the thieves guild. (not yet implemented)

- The compliment of Flaming Fists in the streets is increased (chapter 6 and later). (not yet implemented)

- You can talk to "Merchants" found outside who will complain frequently of the rising levies on their goods to pay for this increase in troops, as well as the demands made on their businesses. (not yet implemented)

- 7 new marketplaces have been added to the city. Some of these sell trivial, unusable luxury items, while others sell weapons, potions, and armor (this is meant to add some more flavor to the streets) (not yet implemented)

- One (rather hardcore) optional component changes how parts of chapter 7 are handled in Baldur's Gate. You now must be smuggled across the river (using a smuggler available in the original game) in order to enter and exit the city. Prior to the ceremony your access to Baldur's Gate becomes severely limited. You won't be able to quick travel into the city and even your travel in the streets of the city will be limited. The sewers will become very necessary if you want to avoid the Fist.

- The Flaming Fist will now patrol the streets looking for you, instead of simply standing around. (not yet implemented)

- Beggars now have flies flying overtop of their heads. Extremely low reputation parties can give them a donation and (provided they acted respectfully when doing so) can get a small reputation increase.


Final Battle

- Sarevok has been updated to more accurately reflect the ability of a level 15 fighter. His equipment is now more in-line with what you might expect a level 15 fighter to have in the case of BG2EE (which I think is fair given that his father is wealthy and he is an experienced adventurer). More details on this will be released when the mod is released.

- (if you have the bandit camp component installed) Grangor will appear in the final battle if Ardenor (in the bandit camp) was killed. He is a level 14 wizard and casts spells appropriate for that level.



Quests

- Contains 12 new quests.

Some mundane ones

- You are given a series of tasks to secure cheaper tavern drinks for Beregost's town watch.

- You are given a quest to get Modest back on his feet. You must convince him to serve as a junior member of the town council or as a lieutenant in the town watch.

- There is a quest involving acquiring obtaining better armor and weapons for the towns town watch from Bethi.

- Scout out Nashkel's forces for the Flaming Fist Sergeant. (Chapter 6 or later)



And some larger ones

- You are asked to root out the cult dedicated to Cyric found in the Cloudpeak Mountains.

- Kelddath Ormlyr wants you can get the leaders of other small communities near Beregost (Gullykin, the Friendly Arm Inn and Ulgoth's Beard) to agree to take any refugees in the event of an invasion. (work in progress)

- Either kill Duke Eltan for Alatos or discover and kill any Zhentarim influence in the city (this comes to you in the form of a letter from Lord Piergeiron of Waterdeep). (Chapter 7 only) (not yet implemented)




Yeorg - an evil Dragon Disciple NPC.


Who is Yeorg
Yeorg is a level 4 Dragon Disciple. He is found in Gullykin. The reason he is there (at least the reason he initially tells you) is to search for artifacts in Durlag's Tower and the Firewine Ruins. The reported existence of a wild magic zone around Gullykin (which is actually mentioned in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast) has only served to peak his interest in the region.

Yeorg, Dragon Disciple (level 4)
Human
Neutral Evil

STR: 16
DEX: 9
CON: 15
INT: 15
WIS: 16
CHR: 15

Total = 86

Starting HP: 24 hp (which includes the constitution bonus)

Innate abilities:

Dragon Disciple abilities.


Biography: When asked about his past Yeorg is reluctant to delve too much into details. He mentions that he is from Caer-Dineval, an otherwise unremarkable fishing village and one of the Ten Towns. When asked about his family he seems to have little interest in furthering the discussion, though when the topic of his ability to breathe fire is brought up he does explain that it is trait that Yeorg inherited from a distant ancestor's relationship with a red dragon.

His name itself interests you and when you ask him about it he states that he is named after a warrior in his family, someone who many years prior fought amongst the frozen dales of the north.

When pressed on his reasons for travelling to Gullykin he declares that he will tolerate no further inquiries into his nature or business.


Character Conceptualization (most of what you see here probably won't get an in-game explanation for it)


Stats

Strength, Dexterity, Constitution


Yeorg is unusually physically strong and hearty for a spellcaster. However, that strength comes at the price of a lack of agility.


Intelligence and Wisdom

As for his the intelligence and wisdom I wanted to differentiate him from Baeloth and to give him stats that I felt were more representative of where the character is heading (he is above average intelligence certainly and this has allowed him to be smart enough to recognize opportunities when they come about and to work his way into them). In at least a few ways I view him as an opposite of Baeloth (whose comparison is sort of inevitable given they share the same main class). Whereas Baeloth seems more interested in creating a spectacle and with having large scale plans, and arguably shows a lack of wisdom with his endeavors, Yeorg favours slowly gaining ability through much less grandiose means. Yeorg is still interested in acquiring power but he is much more risk averse and is much more concerned with always having an escape plan or way out of an arrangement or situation.

Yeorg is also fairly familiar with the history behind the Firewine Ruins, Gullykin, and Durlag's Tower. If you are interested he may offer to share his knowledge with you, but only really if he feels like he is gaining something from doing so (which in this case is really as simple as informing you of potential dangers he has read about so that you don't get him killed).


Alignment

Yeorg can be cruel if the situation calls for it, but most of the time he is more interested in keeping the money rolling in or his other plans moving forward. He has no qualms about killing, stealing, or basically doing anything to get what he wants, including killing his partners in crime if the situation calls for it. He would prefer a situation not come to that however, if only because it tends to mean that matters have become more complicated than he would prefer.


Starting Location: AR4013 (a small hut in the north-east part of Gullykin)

Reason for his presence in Gullykin

He's actually a member of the Cult of the Dragon. He has been tasked by his superiors to find an artifact that was once held by a powerful dragon in the region. He has tracked it down to somewhere around Gullykin, though he can't say he knows with absolute certainty.

As it turns out it can be found near the bottom of Durlag's Tower (in the room with the giant dragon corpse).



Spells:

Level 1: Burning Hands, Identify, Shield
Level 2: Agannazar's Scorcher


Daran Highhammer (Siege of Dragonspear only)



(Note: The following are the mods stats and abilities regarding Daran. They may not correspond with his stats and abilities in-game without this mod being installed.)

Class: Fighter/Thief
Kit: Vermin Slayer
Alignment: Neutral Good

STR: 18/10
DEX: 17
CON: 14
INT: 11
WIS: 9
CHR: 11

Proficiencies:

Short Sword: **
Crossbow: **
Short Bow: *
Single Weapon Style: *

Thief Skills

His highest thieving skills will be Find Traps, Move Silently, and Hide in Shadows. He will be pretty weak in everything else.


Kit: Vermin Slayer

VERMIN SLAYER: The Vermin Slayer is a highly skilled specialist who enters the tunnel systems of monsters such as kobolds and goblins with the intention of eradicating them. Vermin Slayers are also adept at negotiating the constricted passages created by giant rats, centipedes, and other pests and vermin. They are used to fighting in confined spaces and are experts at hiding in shadows, where they wait to surprise their prey. Vermin Slayers are similar to Pest Controllers, but where a Pest Controller uses traps to catch his prey, Vermin Slayers actively hunt victims with light crossbows and other assorted weapons.

Bonus

- It grants +1 Thac0 and +2 damage against a variety of pest related enemies (as well as certain types of humanoids). I won't say all of them (but it has been tailored towards what you face in SoD and BG2EE). Most of these enemies are individually fairly weak, but tend to appear in groups.
- It gives +5 to Find Traps, Hide in Shadows, and Move Silently

Penalty

- 10 to Pick Pockets

Restrictions

- Only accessible by Daran Highhammer


Biography: When asked about his past, Daran comments that he isn't used to this kind of conversation. Most of the time his conversations involve customers who are far more concerned with his ability to stop the kobolds running around their living space from "mukin up everthin." Daran describes how he is a Vermin Slayer, a highly respected group of fighter/thieves in dwarven society that train specifically to fight creatures like goblins, kobolds, and spiders in confined spaces and passages that other dwarves would never dare fight in. As he explains it he isn't one to go "trotten about" looking for an adventure, but rather prefers to see people find him. It’s no wonder that he seems quite happy to be assisting you on your quest to defeat Caelar.

Where you find him:

You find Daran in a rather nasty situation. He's agreed to do a job but his client has been less than honest with him. The result of this is he's caught up in a situation that seriously threatens his own life, as well as threatens his ability to get paid. It also threatens the lives of those who came with him on the expedition that he is on, though at present he is less than concerned about their lives. As far as he's concerned his clients did not adequately explain the risks of this expedition and what happens to them as a result is their own fault.

Characterization:

He wants to make the realms a better place, but the reality is that in the circumstances you find him in he doesn't have the tools for the job, he's not really looking forward to fighting these enemies (and potentially getting killed) given how uncertain he is about getting paid for his work here, he doesn't want to unleash these enemies on the innocent, and he wants to ensure Caelar's forces don't cut off their escape. You encounter him with all these things in motion and he is just sort of reacting to something that has only recently transpired.



Storyline (BGEE)



Chapter 1

Politics, intrigue, and murder. No tale involving the Sword Coast would be complete without these three things.

Troubles are brewing along the Sword Coast. The region struggles to adapt to ongoing problems eminating from an iron mine in the Amnian town of Nashkel. Iron shipped from the mine appears to contaminate even proven iron, leading to farmers and soldiers alike reporting the metal breaking under limited strain. As if that wasn't enough, a recent rise in bandit raids along the Coast Way has only worsened matters for the region. The raids have proven to be devastating to the caravans that pass through Beregost on their way to Baldur's Gate. Concern over these raids is mounting and Kelddath Ormlyr, the leader of Beregost, has convened a meeting to decide what actions are to be taken. In the interim a town watch has been formed in the town. Led by one "Commander Darren" (a veteran of the Second Dragonspear War) this watch however has but a handful of members.

Having heard of the troubles in the region the Amnian Council of Six has ordered troops to be moved northward from Athkatla towards the town of Nashkel. While its mayor is concerned about the town's ability to handle this increase in troops the council concerns itself with far more important matters. With the nation's forces engaged against a series of ongoing rebellions along its southern borders Amn fears losing access to a vital supply of iron. Interest in the town is growing and even organizations that share little common values now seek to determine what exactly has transpired. Concerned with finding a resolution to this crisis Berrun Ghastkill has requested the aid of adventurers to help resolve the matter.


Chapter 2

The shortage of iron continues unabated - as do the caravan raids. Beregost's town watch is now actively recruiting and training men and women who have answered the town's call to arms.


Chapter 3

The Nashkel mines have been cleared, though the effects of the iron crisis are expected to continue for quite some time. Worse still, bandit raids continue to plague the region. A small band of Flaming Fist members have reached Beregost, though not enough to make any real difference. Left with no alternative the town's watch have mobilized. A small number of the watch now patrol the immediate land around Beregost and protect many of its finer establishments.

Concerned over word that the Zhentarim are behind many of the issues plaguing the region the Council of Six has agreed to send additional troops to reinforce the compliment guarding Nashkel. Progress in getting troops to Nashkel has been decidedly slow however, with much of the difficulty resting on moving across the inhospitable Cloudpeak Mountains. With news of more troops entering town shortly the town merchants have grown concerned about becoming overstretched, while the mayor complains that the town simply can't house this increase in troops. Word has spread of your efforts in the Nashkel mines though this has done little to quell local fears.

Where desperation and despair lurks profiteers have answered. With weapons still brittle from the iron crisis profiteers have been shipping in new weapons from far away lands - leading to an arms buildup across the region. Where once smuggling was frowned upon the thieves guilds in Baldur's Gate and Athkatla have found new life and opportunity. Through this they have begun expanding their own influences and padded pockets where needed.


Chapter 4:

With rumours swirling in both cities tensions continue to rise between Baldur's Gate and Amn. With the situation in the Wood of Sharp Teeth resolved it would appear as though much of the banditry that plagued the region has also declined. Even still, they remain a potent force in the region. Despite any successes you have had against these bandits there remains a growing concern over if the situation has been adequately handled.

Due to its inability to address the bandit problem, as well as its concerns over the influence of the Zhentarim in the city, Amn's Council of Six has begun to lose confidence in the willingness of Baldur's Gate's leadership to handle internal problems. Word of the Zhentarim operating secretly in Baldur's Gate has only bolstered their concern over how truly independent the Grand Dukes of Baldur's Gate really are.


Chapter 5

Concerns continue to mount over the declining relationship between Baldur's Gate and Amn. An exact set of actions appear to be still debated amongst the Grand Dukes, though a handful have been agreed upon. Understanding the difficulty in holding back the forces of Amn Duke Eltan has ordered vulnerable areas to the south be better protected. At the great reluctance of Bentley Mirrorshade the Friendly Arm Inn's courtyard now houses a small compliment of Flaming Fist. Flaming Fist troops continue to train there and stand ready to serve should the worst transpire.

The Friendly Inn is not alone in this treatment however, as in Beregost fears of a conflict have only served to escalate the situation there. Under Eltan's orders the Flaming Fist now have a more visible presence in the town (alongside the town's watch). The situation has proven to be a boon to local taverns, though local businesses comment on the fear they now have over the possibility of conflict between the two powers.



Chapter 6 (only accessible if you travel to back to Baldur's Gate before entering Candlekeep):

In Baldur's Gate the Grand Dukes themselves have been preparing for the possibility of open conflict. The compliment of Flaming Fists in the streets has been increased in recent days. Merchants complain frequently of the rising levies on their goods to pay for this increase, as well as the demands made on their businesses, while citizens clear themselves from the streets.

Concern over any conflict has also caused concern within Beregost. While its taverns and inns are booming Kelddath Ormlyr remains concerned about the situation. While Baldur's Gate has its high walls Beregost is small and undefended. Troops stationed here will likely fall back to the Friendly Arm Inn if necessary, which itself has too little room to house the needs of the people of Beregost. Kelddath has sought reassurance from other communities in the region to grant assistance to his citizens in the event of an attack, with little success thus far.


Chapter 7

As you have continued on your quest what has become clear is that merely killing Sarevok may not stop the carnage that he sought - even if he is exposed. Concerned over the spread of the Zhentarim's influence in the city Amn has lost trust in the leaders of Baldur's Gate to handle the situation. News of Eltan's sickness has only served to confirm their suspicions.

It is in this chapter you will make decisions that may prove to have a profound impact on this region of Faerun. The decision you make here will have an impact if you install the Siege of Dragonspear components for this mod


Storyline (Siege of Dragonspear)



Chapter 7

You step out into the sun and view the City of Baldur's Gate. Had you chosen a path to war in Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition you will have found that there appears to be more than just refugees arriving from the north. In traveling to the eastern part of the city you can't help but notice the number of refugees pouring in from the south. Beregost it seems did not last long against the forces of Amn.

Chapter 9

As you finally rid Bridgefort of its last crusaders you notice a rather tawdry looking man standing about asking around for help. As it turns out he is a man from Serpent's Cowl, a nearby village that has recently been assaulted by a prolonged blast of cold weather.




Will be released after the release of Siege of Dragonspear

Adding more races?

I just want to say now that I don't know how modding works, I don't know the limitations of modding and I don't know the process... That said, I was just wondering if it would be possible to add races to the EE games, I'm thinking like, maybe if someone created rules for a gnoll or something and then used the gnoll graphics to represent that character in-game.

even if this is possible, it would probably only work for IWDEE because in BGEE1/2 it would be much harder to implement due to all the PC interactions.
