Sort of. Mostly. - changes to spellbinder 2017-08-13 Version 0.74f - added conjure water elemental to water sphere - fixed shades and shadow monsters - fixed mystic warrior - improves the cross-mod compatibility stuff. 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. 2017-08-06 Version 0.72 -diff install options for BG(2)EE/IWDEE 2017-08-02 Version 0.71b - Fixed issue with option 2 2017-08-01 version 0.71a Fixed installation issue with option 1 -2017-07-31 version 0.71 Lots of fixes: -fixes for spells -fixes for HLAs -two new spheres: Exploration and Perdition -variables for custom weapon use for kits -cleaned up a ton of code everywhere -updated compatibility packet for other mods 2017-06-03 Version 0.64a Minor changes to sphere access 2017-06-03 Version 0.64 -Fixed cleric of Kelevmor death ward and neg plane protection -Fixed doom special ability for for Beshaba Acolytes (and better implemented the ability) -Added misfire reference to spell in for Beshaba Acolyte description -Fixed icons in misfire spell/special ability for Beshaba Acolytes -Plant focus sphere no longer adds summon water elemental rather than assassin vines as a level 5 spell... -Grammar issues: Champions -Grammar issues: Zealots -Zealot of Ilmater: Correctly added frenzy in 2da -Acolytes: Added bonus spells (and lore bonuses in a few cases) -Changed Beshaba's spheres around. Focus: Dread. -Removed override references to COMPILE lines 2017-03-13 Version 0.63b - NPC cleric kits - Fixed bug re acolyte of mystra - Bug fixes re: kit adding code - Fixed deity dialog issue with mc clerics 2017-02-27 Version 0.61a - Added a valid marker for IWDEE divine spells If you already have version 0.61 installed, just drop the itm file in the attached zip in your override folder. Version 0.61 - Removed references to SoD in engine check - Added Clangeddin cleric - Added a draft of Baravar (but not added in the game via tp2 or otherwise) - Removed backup folder - Please forgive the formatting of the readme on github. I'll have to learn about .md files, but for now see the attached pdf. It is important to note that the readme is outdated. The goals are the same, but the details (e.g. what spells are in what sphere) have been changed. Known Issues: - Water and fire elemental scripts need to be looked at - Shout spell doesn't seem to work - Summoning shadow monsters crashes the game - Doomguide cleric Turn level issue - b_frz00.spl is referenced in at least three .2da files present in my override folder (B_ZE00.2DA, B_ZEALOT.2DA and clabpa04.2da (original non-special frenzy) - At 11th level the Ur-Priest received Shadow Step as a special ability - 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!) - Compatibility See attached document: "FnP_kit_compatibility (1).zip" Special Thanks: Extra special thanks to Requiem and Mordeus for Inspiration and Resources.

[MOD] Lefreut's enhanced UI for IWDEE

$
0
0
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.

Screenshots:

Here are some comparisons between the default UI and the mod.

[MOD] Bubb's Auto Looting

$
0
0

Overview:

This mod seeks to make looting easier. Features include filtering automatic-looting by critical item, weapon enchantment level, gold, price, and price per weight. For the moment auto-looting only pertains to on-ground items. The main goal of this mod is to reduce the amount of items the player misses and leaves on the ground, especially small piles of gold. Due to limitations of the engine, automatically picked up items can only be transferred to the currently selected leader. This mod only supports BG2EE at the moment, though if there is demand I will attempt to port it. If anyone has any suggestions for additional filters, I would be happy to see about implementing them.

Screenshots:

Use:

In the bottom left-hand corner of the world screen you will see a new button. This button opens up the Auto Loot options menu. In this menu you can turn on and off all the different filters, as well as tweak several filter's values to greater suit your looting needs. By default auto looting is off.

Installation:

Download the zip file attached to this post, and copy the contents into your BG2EE's base folder. Run the setup-bubb_auto_loot.exe, and you are good to go!

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

$
0
0
This mod doesn't support BG2EE v2.5.16.6 currently, though I am working on an update to make it compatible.

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 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.

Known Issues:

None at the moment.

As a follow-up to the favorite area topic. One of my favorite quests must be the Melicamp one, it's silly, but get's a chuckle from me everytime (I'm a bit simple like that). My least favorite one must be Melkar and Lothander, mess it up and you're dead, also a waste of a good Tome.

I probably risk ridicule, but is there some sort of simple framework which I could point to test installations of IE games as well as some tp2 scripts containing test cases which test created mod's functions?

Durlag's Tower - Thoughts?

$
0
0
So, Durlag's Tower. We all know about it (aside from the newbies). Some of us love it. Some of us hate it. But it's a pretty big part of the TotSC expansion, so you can't really ignore it if you're planning on completing the majority of BG1. My thoughts? It's a pain in the a*s. I don't mind that it's tough. I don't even think the Demon Knight is that hard once you figure out what he can do, and if I don't want to bother I just pack a Protection from Magic scroll and send my best warrior up against him. Most of the time I don't even use the mirror. But the dungeon itself is just so... annoying. There's like 7-8 levels to explore in total, counting the above ground levels. It takes forever to get through the tower and clear it. I don't even know what I dislike most about it anymore, whether it's the annoyance of going back and forth picking up items and going for doors that you need to find the key for on the other side of the map, or the monsters, or the traps. And holy cr*p the traps are annoying. Even after I've gotten through it about half a dozen times it's frustrating trying to pick out every single one of them especially with the game's horribly slow trap detecting system. Even now I get blown up by random traps I didn't know were there. I get blown up by traps I KNEW were there either because I get impatient or pathing sends my characters through them when I don't pay attention. Then I have to reload because every party I have has at least 3 really low HP characters that will die to a fireball. Also because of some mod I installed the four elements part of the tower is bugged and I have to manually set the global to transition to the chess phase. I just had the motivation to type this out after beating Durlag's Tower for... at least the 8-9th time by now. I felt like ranting :P But seriously, this is one of the most annoying dungeons in the entire trilogy. It's even worse than Irenicus's Dungeon by now, because not only is it so trap happy but I know I don't have to do it, but I *have* to. I know at least the first time I ran though it blind I was intimidated because there was a trap around every corner which could force a reload. Now it's just tedious. For once, Eldoth was right: "This is so tedious." Edit: Count the number of times I said "annoying" "annoyance" or something to that effect lol. Spoilers: four times. Not that bad considering the tangents I can get into :P

20 new achievements for 20th anniversary!

So in stream couple weeks ago Trent mentioned about doing something special for upcoming anniversary, and adding 20 new achievements is (maybe) on the table So here are my ideas, maybe some of them are not completely terrible :D 1. "Dont poke Drizzt" - kill Drizzt (I'm suprissed it's not actually an achievement) 2. Save Drizzt. 3. "Head hunter" - deliver 100 scalps from bandits. 4. I have no strong feelings one way or the other" - have full party of neutral characters (it's a reference to futurama) 5. "Traveler" - visit every location 6. Save miner Beldin - it's quite hard but possible, check this out: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44983/miner-beldin-and-the-yipping-demons (or just have Kivan in your team, he will save him automatically) 7. Golden Pantaloons - keep them for entire game (I'm also surprised it's not achievement yet) 8. "Iron crisis" - lost normal weapon due to iron crisis. 9. "TheGreatGonzo" - finish Melicamp Quest (talking chicken) 10. "Blackmailer" - blackmail Elkart in BG (you need to have Eldoth and Skie in your team) 11. "No rest for the wicked" - finish game without resting (could be a real challenge) 12. "In Balduran's Image" - same achievement like in BG2:EE (have all Baldurian things on you) 13. Wear 4 cursed items at once (could be more, but I'm not sure how much is max) 14. Thief guild quest. 15. Achievement for finishin Werewolf island would be nice. 16. "Great Hunter" - get reward for wyvern head, white wolf pelt, and Ankheg skin 17. "Alveus Malcanter" - finish game as 1st level mage. 18. Safana's Treasure Hunt achievement. 19. Children of Waukeen - accumulate 500 000 gold 20. "Arcanum" - find and use all tomes of knowledge 21. "Don't believe his lies" - listen to Sarevok in Candlekeep and kill leaders of Iron Throne. 22. "Vampire sword" - get magical sword from Ulcaster 23. "Why so serious?" - have party of mad people (Tiax, Xzar and Minsc) 24. "Problems in paradise" - have party conflict (fight) 25. "Are You Not Entertained?" - finish The Black Pits

Reputation Management (Evil)

So I'm playing through with an evil party, and trying to really buy into the ethos of it with how I play the game. But a lot of quests give reputation points, and I can think of at least one (Cloakwood) that gives 2. Is there a better way than killing an innocent before gathering rewards? Specifically for cloakwood, is there an option to not save the miners and therefore forfeit the reputation gain? Thanks guys

Создал тему, чтобы сообщать об ошибках и спорных моментах в BG2:EE, не плодя для этого множества тем. И первая же ошибка. Nalia (Dual-Class Thief->Mage) при повышении уровня Мага и получении оружейной "звезды" получила возможность выбирать из воровского оружия, хотя такого быть не должно.

I killed Demogorgon but the Watcher's Keep mission is still in my log unfinished.

Odren entered the Watcher's Keep and he and his party were killed, I then killed Demogorgon and left the keep and was told that the Helm scroll disappeared because Demogorgon was slain, but the Watcher's Keep quest remains in my log. What do I need to do next?

XP and GP penalties not applying

$

I have a custom module with the default OnPlayerRespawn script "nw_o0_respawn" but no penalties are being applied upon respawn. The lexicon says that "nw_o0_respawn" is the appropriate script to apply these penalties and looking over the script it looks like it should be applying the penalties. What am I missing?

Which Spellcasters Spell Will Hit First?

$

So this is something I've noticed, or maybe I haven't and it's just confirmation bias. So help me out if you can. It's not about spells having different cast lengths, that is understandable. But say you have two mage, you pause the game, you cast the same spell from both, you play and usually it seems to me, one caster lands the spell faster than the other. OK, so this is where my confirmation bias maybe kicking in, because it always seems as if Edwin is quicker. I play very lazily, (sorry), use a lot of web and ranged. And this is where it's most noticeable, Edwin always seems to release the spell first and can retreat safely just that tiny bit quicker. It's probably imagination, but has anyone else noticed the same?

A mod for auto resting

$

This is a mod someone ask me to do. The mod allow auto resting (recover life and restoring spells for all the party) after each fight (ala Pillars of Eternity) or when typing "D". When installing you can choose "auto" or "with D" or "both". You can also choose the power of the rest: - 3D8 life, restore spells, with ou without 100% dispel - full heal, restore spells, with ou without 100% dispel - full heal, restore spells, greater restoration, with ou without 100% dispel - full heal, restore spells, ressurection, greater restoration, with ou without 100% dispel This mod is only in french for the moment, sorry. For me , this mod is A CHEAT. Feel free to name it as you want.

How do I update/patch my custom modules?

I am having trouble finding out if there is a way you update my custom SP modules with patches/bugfixes/new content without players' current saves/progress becoming obsolete. Is this possible? Will save files only work with one particular version of a module? Any help is much appreciated!
