[BG:EE GUI Mods] Grey GUI and GUI from BG2:EE

≪ Previous: Baldurs Gate yardım!

Thanks to a new version of Near Infinity, which can edit PVRZ files, I was finally able to get rid of the blue in BG:EE GUI. The rar file in the link below contains two folders. "Grey GUI" folder contains the recolored PVRZ files and "GUI Tweaks" contains several tweaks - no gaps between buttons under the dialog window, different end dialogue button, smaller gap between bag slots and ground in the inventory screen and slightly realigned record screen (See screenshots below).

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-8z1o_PZqbQOXU5VkdxMDlCSlE/edit?usp=sharing

I also created a GUI mod that places BG2:EE GUI into BG:EE (with minor tweaking). As a bonus, the red gem button that allows to displays nearby items on the ground is now also available.
Update: I have uploaded version 1.2, with several fixes.

http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/1082-bg2ee-gui-in-bgee/

Now, there are GUI tweaks available for BG2:EE GUI as well. Same as the tweaks for grey GUI, it contains tweaked record and inventory screen and no gaps between buttons under the dialog window (see additional screenshots). You can download them at the bottom of this post.

To install either of these mods, just put all files in the respective folders in your override folder.

≪ Previous: [BG:EE GUI Mods] Grey GUI and GUI from BG2:EE

I'm about to enter a four player co-op run with three friends (no NPCs), and it looks like I'm going to be the thief.

I've never played a thief before, and I'm sure if I go into it blind I'll just play it as a second-rate fighter, so I was wondering if you folks could share some character building and strategy tips with me?

1) About how many points should I sink into Open Locks and Disarm Traps? (Instead of the fun stuff, I mean :D )
2) When combat cometh, how exactly does one play a thief to full effect?
3) Any builds in particular I should have my eye on? (I admit, I'm strongly tempted to roll a Halfling Shadow Dancer but I'm worried that after I won't have enough points left over to tangle with traps and locks.)
4) ... And any other advice you'd care to share?

Thanks.

Hi all,

this thread is meant to provide a guide to all available mods for BG:EE. As we all know, the forums are very active and it's very easy for a new mod to get lost in page 5 a few minutes after being announced. If your mod is not in this list, don't take it as an insult :)

For mod threads not in the list bellow, notify me or post in the thread and I'll update it ASAP.

Just one rule for the mod to be added to the thread:

No direct download links. Respect the modders. If you like their mods go to their threads and give them a like or an insightful :)

If you're looking for information about older mods compatibility, read this thread.

If you're looking for information about how to install older mods, read this thread.

A new section about modding tutorials has been created. Have fun!

Version 1.2 incompatible mods
Right now ALL mods that add kits to the game are incompatible with version 1.2.
Also if you are experiencing crashes in the game, check your portraits folder for "bgee.sql". If you find this file there delete it and the crashes should be solved.

All fixes currently listed unde *FIXES* category are unnecessary if you have version 1.2 installed

Notice that right now the BG1 NPC project is a work in progress. Bugs are expected and should be reported in the mod's thread.

≪ Previous: Crash pour level up !

I require a Custom Portrait for my CN Dragon Disciple.
The Original Portrait I used is Edwin's Portrait from Vanilla BG1, because that is the closest to how is probably looks, as he wears Orange-Ish and Reddish Clothing, but feel free to change that robe color, as I can easily change it myself.
Notes
1. Zaram is vibrant, and usually likes to think positive (usually) so don't give him any dull colors if you decide to change the colors he wears.
2. Despite the Fact that Zaram is trigger happy with his breath weapon ability, I'd prefer him not to be breathing fire in his portrait.
3. Zaram is fairly arrogant, so a smirk would be really nice :)
4. Zaram is pretty greedy too, but Gold in the mix. Anyway you like, surprise me.
5. Zaram's Familiar (A Cat) on his shoulder is Mandatory. Because that's just cute :P

If you can give me some instruction as to how to install this picture as well, that would be very kind of you

Víte o tom, že předloha pro portrét Viconie pochází od nás z čech? Autoři BG se nechali inspirovat fotkou české gymnastky, modelky, herečky a později i pornohvězdy Zdeňky Podkapové.

≪ Previous: You know you're playing too much Baldur's Gate when...

Hey guys, I have finally decided to start modding the game a little bit and I really had no idea how deep the changes could go. I want to have a legit BG experience and I don't want to add any cheese to the game as I already find it easy enough without SCS. I am trying to figure out what the standard is for a normal game of BG. I will list a few things below to see what you guys think about them and how they effect the game.

1. Un-Nerfed Thac0 Table
2. Multi-Class Grand Mastery
3. Removing Racial Restrictions for Classes
4. Human or Any Race Multi-Classing

Those are the main four that I am curious about, and want to know if any of you guys play with these modifications to your game.

Is there anyone out there that thinks that allowing Human Multi-Class is true to the BG version of AD&D 2nd Ed.?

Will Un-Nerfed Thac0 and Multi-Class Grand Mastery make the game too easy at the ToB level?

I appreciate everyone who takes the time to comment on this topic. It really means a lot to me as I truly value the opinions of all of you on this forum. If there are some taboo changes in the BG Tweak Pack that I need to be staying away from, I would really like to know about it. Also I know some of you are going to say, "Play the game the way that you want to play it.". I understand that and respect that, but I have more of a desire to play the game the way the community at large believes is the correct way to play the game to get maximum enjoyment out of it while also getting the authentic BG AD&D 2nd Ed. experience.

Thanks guys. Have fun and as always, have an awesome day.

In the attached screenshot you can see the scene from BG1:EE ported into BG2:EE engine. As you can see there is some strange graphical problem with water going on. It is only present in BG2:EE engine, so the files seems to be fine. The problem shows in every ported area that contain water. It's strange that both engines interprets the same area resources differently :(

I remember that @AndreaColombo and @Avenger_teambg once talked about similar problem (green water overlay). Any idea what may cause it? Thanks in advance for a help with this matter.

High Level Abilities as Innate Abilities

August 25, 2014, 2:29 pm

≫ Next: List of the immunities of powerful monsters??

≪ Previous: Download issues

I would like my HLA's to be added to my innate abilities instead of simply my memorized spells. Now, I realize that there is a mod that supposedly does this "BG_EE_HLAs106.rar". However, when I first tried to install a similar mod it failed, so I figured I'd simply do it manually.

I used NearInifinity and changed the Summon Planetar from "Wizard Spell" to "Innate", and then added the "new" ability to my character using EEKeeper. That all worked well. However, I've since tried doing the same thing with "Comet", but it doesn't work. For one, it seems there are two different, but the same, SPL's for the Summon Planetar(Deva) (Not including the Dark Planetar), while there is only the one for Comet. I don't know if this is significant.

As modding it manually failed, I figured I'd go back and look into the HLA mod. I found the one mentioned in my opening sentence and installed it just fine. However, after choosing my new HLA it is still added to my spell list, not my innate abilities. Perhaps I'm misreading this mod and this isn't what this mod is supposed to do.

If someone can point my in the right direction of doing this manually I'm open to doing that as well.

So in short;

I would like a mod that adds all HLA's as innate abilities instead of 9th level spells. Many thanks and much appreciation!

≪ Previous: High Level Abilities as Innate Abilities

How do I know what uber powerful monsters are immune it what? For example, I saw recently that Demogorgon is apparently immune to spells below level 7 - how in god's name should I be able to know that without looking it up online? Secondly, is there a list somewhere with all of this information?

I would love seeing a chart that shows what monsters are completely immune to backstab, spell levels, charm, level drain, etc.

Also, while we're on the subject - does Soul Reaver's on-hit THACO reduction actually work against all monsters, or are some immune? Does it only work if the hit does damage? And does Gram the Sword of Grief actually drain levels, or are most ToB monsters just immune to level drain? Does the Answerer really reduce AC and MR?

I'm throwing a lot of questions out there, but the general point is that immunity information is really, really hard to find all in one spot.

≪ Previous: List of the immunities of powerful monsters??

Hi all,

Please help me...I am a bit desperate because I can't solve this problem and I really want to play this game.

Whenever I start a new BG2 SoA game (fresh install), with any character (imported, new or one of the presets), the Irenicus "time for more experiments" cutscene begins to play...but once the golem comes in and Irenicus says "they act sooner than we had anticipated", the conversation stops, Irenicus and the golem keep looking at each other...and nothing happens. The game doesn't move on. It doesn't crash to desktop or anything, music keeps going on, but it just seems that the conversation breaks and the game is "stuck".

I have no mods installed whatsoever and I tried 4-5 fresh re-installs already, on different drivers just to be sure. I tried uninstalling and re-installing sound and graphics drivers. I tried to use the "repair installation" feature in the launcher many times. Nothing worked. I am running on a modern machine (I5, Windows 7 64-bit, 8GB RAM etc).

I am clueless what is going wrong, and any help would be much welcome and appreciated.

I am attaching a file for your consideration this is exactly where the game 'stops'

Thank you

So this is just a thread for interesting things that people have picked up over the years. While most of the information has been freely available for some time, the game is big enough that you might find something you missed. If not, it's still fun to see just how much detail the developers put in.

Did you know that if you are playing an elf named Drizzt, and your reputation is under 12, Drizzt will attack you? Did you also know that if you kill the three mages guarding the skyship devices in Baldur's Gate, then Shandalar skips the 'asking' part of sending you to the Ice Island? Not surprising, given that they were his daughters. Guy is probably a bit angry at you.

≪ Previous: Did you know?

Hey everyone,

as I'm following the news about Dragon Age: Inquisition I noticed that the devs gave parties consisting of different members various titles.

As such they talk about:

"• Team 'Humans Are Crazy': Elf (possibly elfquisitor but maybe could be the two elf companions), Iron Bull, Varric.
• Team 'Crushed Expectations': Solas, Sera, Cole.
• Team 'Talking, But Not To Each Other': Sera, Viv, Cole.
• Team 'YOLO': Iron Bull, Sera, Dorian.
• Team 'Mutually Respectful Moral and Theological Debate': Cole, Cass, Solas.
• Team 'Vulgar': Sera, Iron Bull, Blackwall.
• Team 'Grim Determination or Team Maker’s Breath Will You Stop Talking about the Jousting?': Varric, Blackwall, Vivienne.
• Team 'I Swear I Will Pull this Inquisition Over Right Now if You Don’t Stop': Cass, Sera, Cole."

I thought it would be funny if we did the same for our Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 parties.

So who would be in Team "YOLO" in Baldurs Gate? Or Team "Vulgar" ?
Of course you can make up any new title for any possible combination of NPCs.

I'd start with the obvious one.

Team "Canon": Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Minsc, Dynaheir

≪ Previous: Melanie Maier's RPG thumbnail portraits

When you go looking for a pic for your character for the game, you see a LOT of fantasy art. But some of the choices the artists make can be... curious. Armor with gaps and holes in places that would give foes easy access for a killing blow, armor that would need serious amounts of glue to stay on, and characters who are functionally naked. (Not ACTUALLY naked- this is a PG-13 forum, please). I'm not talking about artistic skill, but art that makes you do a double-take when it comes to what the characters are wearing.

Here are some pictures of bad fantasy art. Please post your own (But remember, no nudity!).
