@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
