Golem Construction for Spellcasters
A mod for Siege of Dragonspear, Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition and EET (Enhanced Edition Trilogy).

Download latest release (19 MB)


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

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

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

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

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

Optional Tweaks include:
  1. Replace original Golem Manual: Replaces the now obsolete original Golem Manual with items related to this mod.
  2. Improve enemy spellcaster AI: Enemy mages and priests attempt to use more effective spells against golems.
  3. Golems for enemy spellcasters: Enemy mages may be accompanied by one or more golem servants.
  4. Greater variety of enemy golem types: Enemy golems will come in greater variety. Some fights may become more difficult because of it.
  5. Fighter Stronghold golems may continue to serve you: One or more golems that survived the siege may serve you if you accept de'Arnise Keep as your stronghold.

Golem types taught by the Manuals of Golem Building:

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


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


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


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


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


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


Golem types taught by the Secret Manuals of Golem Building:



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

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

Important: The game must be patched to v2.0 or higher to install this mod.

Note: Previously there was a list found here
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/23726/bgii-ee-compatible-mod-list/p1

this list has been incorporated into this thread.

Normally when it comes to installing mods it should be good to follow this structure:

1) non-weidu mods
2) story mods
3) NPC mods
4) item mods
5) kit mods
6) BG2Tweaks
7) other tweak/overhaul mods (for example SCALES of BALANCE)
8) SCS
9) aTweaks

An example of installation order would be as follows

I just got my Wii out of the closet and hooked it up for my 6 year old daughter yesterday so she could play some Super Mario. After she went to bed, I decided to pop in Twilight Princess to play for a bit. 5 hours later I realized it was way past my bedtime and had to turn it off...At one point I was a big fan of the series, but haven't played it in several years (Skyward Sword was the last one I played when it first came out, but never finished it.) I've played several, but not all, of the games, and I'd say Twilight Princess is my favorite. Majora's Mask is a close second, but I was never able to finish that one...it is super complex, like ridiculously so. I also really loved Wind Waker...I think that one might be the one to get my daughter interested in the series, with the "cute" art style.
I'm curious if anyone else here plays these games, what your favorites are, and what your kids (if you have kids) like.

Hardest fight in the game... (Heavy Spoilers)

I'm currently on my first LoB difficulty play through, and have cleared up to Suldanesselar, and have cleared Watchers Keep (WK). I understand WK should be considered ToB material but the devs made it accessible in SoA, so I always clear as much as I can until there's an obvious gear or skill check. I hit the Maze level when my 6 person party just started to get HLAs, and I consider Tahazzar's (antimagic) room to be the hardest fight in the game (SoA at least). Underdark Elder Orb was annoying, Kangaax, Saladrex (dragon) and the demilich were very tricky, Demogoron was cake.

What are your tactics for Tahazzar's room (other than potions, wands and spell contingencies)?

What do you all consider to be your hardest battle (ToB included)?

BG2:EE, kwestia wersji polskiej oraz jej instalacja

Ponieważ dzisiaj premiera tej gry, myślę, że dobrze by było ogłosić, jaki jest status wersji polskiej.

Niestety polska wersja, zawierająca przetłumaczone nowe teksty nie wyjdzie dzisiaj ani jutro. Spodziewam się, że ukończymy ją dopiero za kilka miesięcy. Terminu ukończenia jak takiego nie ma When it's done.

Dlaczego tak długo?
Na szczęście dla graczy (mniej dla nas ;) ), BG2:EE zawiera bardzo dużo nowych treści. O WIELE więcej niż BG:EE, a należy przypomnieć, że wszyscy robimy to w wolnym czasie. Ponadto należy zaktualizować stare treści, ujednolicić słownictwo i tego typu rzeczy. Chciałbym zauważyć, że CDP wydał BG1 oraz BG2 również kilka miesięcy po premierze światowej :)

Czy pogram sobie dzisiaj w BG2:EE po polsku?
TAK. Jakby nie było, ciągle zasadniczą częścią gry pozostają stare treści, które są w wersji polskiej. Jak przy BG1:EE, będziemy więc co jakiś czas aktualizować tlk, abyście mogli grać w to, co udało nam się już skończyć. Ze względu na tryb prac, może się zdarzyć tak, że do tlk-a wpadnie jakiś jeszcze niesprawdzony fragment, dlatego nie bądźcie wobec nich zbyt krytyczni. Podobnie udostępnimy paczkę z polskim dubbingiem.

Jak zainstalować polską wersję?
Należy pobrać plik dialog.tlk i podmienić ten z folderu lang\en_EN. Jest to mocno niepełne spolszczenie, w większości stare treści+trochę nowych.

Dialog z 14.09.2014

Override + dźwięki postaci – folder override do folderu z grą, a „sounds” do \lang\en_US

Dla grających na modach

Dla chcących korzystać z modów plik .tra i instrukcja od @viader (ja się na tym nie znam, więc nie pytać o to :P)

Dialog.tra z 29.06.2014
Dialog.tra z 06.04.2014

Instrukcja do zaktualizowania tłumaczenia za pomocą weidu:
1. Ściągnij paczkę https://www.dropbox.com/s/asyyvb8ak9ls5xw/dialogPatch.rar.
2. Rozpakuj paczkę w głównych katalogu z grą (tym który zawiera .exe), nazwę go eg: C:/BG2EE/
3. Ściągnij najnowszy plik "dialog.tra" (link)
4. Zastąp stary plik "dialog.tra" nowym plikiem "dialog.tra" w katalogu C:/BG2EE/dialog
5. Uruchom setup_dialog.exe

Koniec dla grających dla modach

Changelog 14.09
– Uzupełnione brakujące tłumaczenia w kwestiach Rasaada
– Poprawki zgłoszone na forum

Changelog 29.06
Kolejna rekordowa aktualka
– Jeśli mnie daty edycji plików nie mylą – 2779 linii Rasaada!
– Kilkadziesiąt linii Hexxat
– Kilkadziesiąt linii przeniesionych z BG1:EE – chodzi głównie o jakieś umiejętności itp.
– jak zawsze przejrzane linie

Changelog 06.04

Rekordowa aktualka
– 355 linii z Neery
– 692 linii z Rasaada

+ około 60 importów z BG:EE do BG2:EE, jakieś poprawki w menu i przejrzane linie.

Changelog 05.03
– było kilka błędów przy imporcie linii Rasaada
– dodano pięć wpisów z dziennika
– bardzo poważny update :)

Changelog 03.03
– 460 linii Rasaada
– 72 linie Hexxat
– uzupełnione tłumaczenie menu
– … masa poprawek w starych treściach

Changelog 22.11
– wersja female
– jakieś 600 linii z questów Neery (albo połowa, bo nie jestem pewny kiedy wrzucałem ;), 250 linii Rasaada, być może fragment Dorna, bo nie pamiętam znowu kiedy wrzucałem
– tytuły w dziennikach
–… i pewnie masa poprawek w starych treściach


Nadmienię tylko, że te pliki wrzuciliśmy tu tylko po to, abyście mogli od razu w miarę komfortowo grać w BG2:EE. Nie mają one jednak nic wspólnego z ostatecznym oficjalnym wydaniem – czegoś może brakować albo coś tam jest niepotrzebne. Myślę, że lepiej będzie, jak skupimy się na rzeczywistych pracach, a nie tego typu łatkach.

Życzę miłego grania w BG2:EE i cierpliwości w oczekiwaniu na pełne tłumaczenie.

Bith of a beholder

From to Volo's Guide to Monster:

Beholders give "birth" by dreaming. During the time in which a beholder rests, his mind never stops working. In case he dreams of a beholder, the reality is warped to create that beholder is dreaming of. The new beholder can be an exact copy of the dreaming one, in which case they will probably fight to death, or a different one. The beholder can dream of a hive of smaller beholders. This way he creates its own colony. Finally, due to its huge paranoia, the beholder can dream of immortality, and therefore he became a death tyrant himself.

The D&D world never stop to fascinate me.

Favourite Movie/TV Series music

I was just thinking about some music I'd like to add to the favourite videogame, classical, folk musics thead and noticed that they would be off topic as they were actually movies or TV series music..

TV Series

Enterprise theme was amazing.. I always thought it resumed the spirit of Star Trek even if some people complained it was not in Star Trek style :)

The original Battlestar Galactica was also amazing... I could never understand why the new version didn't even make anything resembling it...

And of course I couldn't forget Stargate...

Movies

Well... no explanations needed...

"Maybe this time" [NO-RELOAD THREAD]: "Keen the FMT / Scorch the Monk & Lorga the Sorcerer"

$
0
0
In the depths of the old bioware forums, there are arcane threads hundreds of pages long and eons old that recount the travails of countless adventurers that tried to get through the entire trilogy without reloading. There are also already several excellent threads by @semiticgod @Blackraven and many others detailing their no-reload challenges.

I suggest that we share our no-reload/trilogy attempts in a common thread. Bioware forums show that there is synergy in such combined threads that keep solidarity far beyond the attempts of single adventurers.



Here are some suggested rules for a trilogy run that I use [adjust your own to taste and announce]:

1. no-reload [otherwise, there is no point]

2. SCS
[I recommend the following setup for both BGEE/BG2EE: full AI improvements; improved encounters only without rule-changes to monsters; NO insta-buff mages -- full SCS *will* kill you, if not trimmed as such reasonably.]
(SR would be great, but it is still in beta.)

3. no "munchkining" [personal taste, of course]
a. fair rolls for stats [i.e. don't touch the +/- buttons; re-roll if you want to]
b. no meta-game abuse [e.g. using a thief to scout is fine, but don't buff up for an ambush you couldn't have known about]
c. no EEkeeper abuse [I like making my FMC human for flavor, but it is perhaps overkill to make a Dwarven Defender/Mage with +++++ in Axes...]

d. "Do unto the AI as you would have the AI do unto you."
Basically, avoid doing things that AI is incapable of.
Example: As per the discussion in the following link, I do not permit myself to use Sequencers mid combat. They are no longer an obvious first choice for a Sorcerer. (Casting 3 spells a round really breaks the balance.)

https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44257/7-3x4-8-3x6-9-3x8


4. Any party size, solo or full team. Role play strongly-encouraged (and without such a gameplay theme, I loose interest in my own runs usually).

(If you wanna skip BG and start in BG2 it's also fine. My own OCD usually requires me to start from the very beginning, but I suppose this is impractical.)


Personally, in a decade of trying, I never finished a trilogy run (although did get as far Ch. 3 in BG2). I have seen others succeed in completing, so it is surely possible.

Entries welcomed!

Would You Join the Ferret Legion?

Well, the Ferret Force Five is already full, unless deltaco doesn't return, but now I have a new idea with which I can spread the Ferret Gospel. I am now accepting members of a new legion of ferreteers, and will hand out cookies to any who join willingly! And, if deltaco doesn't come back, there might just be an opening in the Ferret Force Five for anyone interested.

[MOD] IWD GUI for BG2:EE

$
0
0
this mod is mostly a reskin for bg2:ee, made with graphics from iwd:ee.

i made this since i don't like original or enhanced gui design in bg games (like, at all), but think iwd:ee had quite a nice look to it. take a look at the screenshots and see for yourself if you like it.

installation- download link to .rar files is at the bottom of the page (ignore the last screenshot image, it shows as attachment for some reason but only rar file are important). download ALL THREE parts and unrar/unzip them. copy the content of both folders into "override" folder in your bg2:ee installation folder. that's it.

to uninstall, simply delete all the files you've copied. (fastest way to uninstall would be to make a backup of your override folder before installing the mod and simply replace override folder with backup version)

two warnings-

1. mod was made for 1920x1080 display with "scale UI" turned off in graphical settings. weird things could happen if you use this mod scaled or with different resolutions, but it might work for you, i don't know.

2. since UI is not scaled, i tried to compensate for microscopic small portraits by enlarging portraits in sidebar and conversations. in order for this to work, you have to install high-res-portraits mod found here :

shsforums.net/files/file/1126-bgee-bgsod-and-bg2ee-high-resolution-portraits/

let me know if the mod worked for you and if you like it! :)

Can right click be modded as UI botton? I'm using a hybrid laptop, and I'm wondering if it can be done. Everything is responsive other than right click (which ordinarily requires longer pressing by about 1 sec.). Same with the dragging or whatever it is called where you can select/highlight groups by holding the mouse button, probably just like in iPads - I remember there being one there. Thanks!
