#562548 PaintBG Introduction and Samples

Posted by Zireael on 29 September 2013 - 05:32 AM in Portrait Mods

Is there hope for a version with Viconia, Edwin and Khalid alternates? These would transfer me straight to BG heaven...

Probably not because people who can't download 2 GBs of data in tyool 2013 have bigger things to worry about, such as food, airstrikes, and malaria medicine.

 

Also BGEE is finally on Steam which means I could actually buy it now if it wasn't still terrible.

 

I live in Poland, which means I have to worry about no thing described, yet I can't download 2 GB of data...

Gurl I know that but it's just insane, are you on dial-up?

 

No, a local wireless network, which is notoriously unreliable and loves to go down at most inopportune times...

Any news on a DVD version front?

Bump. Bug fixer (someone able to test) still needed.



#552072 Khalid mod for BG II released

Posted by Zireael on 24 December 2012 - 11:47 AM in Miscellaneous Released Mods

Haven't tried it yet, but definitely will. Thank you for reviving Khalid)


You're welcome. Have you tried Khalid yet? Any bugs? Problems? Can't deal with UAC now... no time for bugfixing nor testing...

Edit: oh and they should definitely do a DVD version (not CDs - we don't need an 8-disk installer but it would likely fit on a single DVD).


CD, DVD, whatever. I want a DVD, downloading 1,4 GB is not possible. Even 100 MB is an issue on my end.

Just telling you, i work with the BGEE developers, as staff.


So can you tell me if there's a CD version planned?



#551508 Comments on BGEE & BG2EE News

Posted by Zireael on 15 December 2012 - 11:18 AM in Baldur's Gate Series

Another patch released today. http://forum.baldurs...update-1-0-2011


Great news, some of these fixes. Now if only there was a CD version in the views...

How about we lighten the mood over here with a video of Gorion winning(almost).

http://www.youtube.c...e&v=_XVPjj78LVU

My apologies for the crappy quality of the video.


This is brilliant! Who did he use Imprison on? Tamoko?

Addendum: 20 bucks is quite a high price for some countries, not to mention there's no CD version so far and I'd have to pay A LOT to download 1,8 GB...



#550758 Comments on BGEE & BG2EE News

Posted by Zireael on 03 December 2012 - 10:05 AM in Baldur's Gate Series

Cuv, I know you personally made the new Gorion VS. Sarevok cutscene which was an improvement, at least to me. And most of the unhardcoding will certainly prove an asset for future mods. But that's for modders only, and this is a game re-release, for gamers, and it should be judged as such.

So, let me ask you, in general, are you're proud of having a GUI that's much worse than the original and has scaling issues? Of having ZERO graphical options in an "enhanced" game? Of having new bugs (including game-breaking ones) for the "enhanced" version of a 14-year old game? Of not being able to play with most of the mods around (which kept the game strong for all these years) for who knows for how long?

And all these issues come after postponing the release date for 2,5 months.


I like the new Gorion's death cutscene too. But the improvements are too few and too unnoticeable compared to the bugs I found out by 30-min browsing of BG EE bug forum. Also, I was like wtf when a friend showed me a screen of the graphical options.

Is there like a change log?


Good question.



#550736 My thoughts on BG:EE

Posted by Zireael on 03 December 2012 - 03:45 AM in Baldur's Gate Series

I'm giving the EE a pass too, now. No Polish translation so far, bugs, no CD version and $20 dollars is a lot in my country.

And why, for the love of Bhaal, did they cut out the movies?

Is it true that there are many bugs in BGEE?



#550288 Comments on BGEE & BG2EE News

Posted by Zireael on 25 November 2012 - 03:35 AM in Baldur's Gate Series

1) Will these 53 areas be included in the BGEE?
2) A possibility of having more than 3 spells in the main screen would have been good.
3) Will the font scale with screen size?

I grabbed the two parts of the manual. Where's part 3 and what is in it? So far, I see pt. 1 and 2 covered what was in the original manuals. I liked pt. 2 of the manual, it covered the rules much better than the original.



#548666 Bugfixing

Posted by Zireael on 20 October 2012 - 02:50 AM in Classifieds

Someone on Polish CoB forums fixed a bit of traification (the .tp2). Alas, I don't know what else was fixed, as my Win7 UAC is acting up...



#548665 Khalid mod for BG II released

Posted by Zireael on 20 October 2012 - 02:39 AM in Miscellaneous Released Mods

Thanks to an anonymous member of the Polish Children of Bhaal forums, traification is (somewhat) fixed. I was not informed how much was fixed, the only thing I am sure of is the .tp2.

Attached is a new version, so the link upthread is no longer to be used. Alas, I cannot be sure if it contains the bugfixes from upthread.


I am unable to test it due to my new Win7's User Account Control acting up when it comes to Infinity Engine related stuff... Anyone know how to disable UAC?

#548385 TobEx Wish list

Posted by Zireael on 14 October 2012 - 05:35 AM in ToBEx

A rather stupid question: why continue the TobEx wishlist when there's BG:EE to be released in September?

EDIT: Paladins as LG is a vestige that survived into the 3.x era and even, in a reduced form, into the 4.0 era.



#548381 Bugfixing

Posted by Zireael on 14 October 2012 - 04:34 AM in Classifieds

No, it was reported on new games. I also ran into the issue when I started a new game to test. Particularly glaring in the cutscene and in the kit description.

Somebody suggested I retraify everything, but I never did it, for fear of messing it up even more and for lack of time.



#548373 Khalid mod for BG II released

Posted by Zireael on 14 October 2012 - 01:16 AM in Miscellaneous Released Mods

Well, I posted an ad in the Classifeds section of SHS forums, as after half a year I can say with 99% certainty that I will not have time to learn how to fix the reported bugs in the near future.

However, keep me informed about any bugs that you found and your experiences. I understand that you enjoyed the mod, Oracle, despite the problems you encountered?



#548372 Bugfixing

Posted by Zireael on 14 October 2012 - 01:14 AM in Classifieds

Posted by: Zireael

Date posted: 14/10/2012

Looking for: Coder (bug fixes)

Details:

As you might know, I released my Khalid mod around a year ago. It is my first mod. I learned just enough to make it work. Lava Del Vortel was a great help, as were some others.... I kept planning to release two more mods (Safana & Dynaheir), but do not have time.

Since then, I've been made aware of some bugs which slipped through the betatesting. Alas, I know not how to fix them and RL takes up most of my time. Therefore, after around half a year of deluding myself that I shall find some time to learn how to fix them and do it myself, I post this call for help.

Bugs I am aware of include:
- traification weirdness (Polish text is mostly fine, but English text is sometimes messed up, eg. <CHARNAME> displayed in-game as <charname>, wrong lines being used, for example in kit description :arrow: If there are any typos which slipped through, I can't fix them due to the traification problems
- area and/or chapter dependent banters not firing

There is no deadline for the bugs to be fixed, although the sooner the better.

Any modder(s) who help(s) will be given credit in the mod readme.

The mod thread is here.



#548330 Baldur's Gate II Redux : Athkatla Opening Cutscene - Waukeens Pro

Posted by Zireael on 13 October 2012 - 10:22 AM in Layers of Reality

Loved the cutscene. I'm actually wondering how to get my hands on DA 2 now ...



#548329 Platinum Coins for Modder use

Posted by Zireael on 13 October 2012 - 10:21 AM in IE Modding Discussion

Someone upthread said that Forgotten Realms uses gold coins. While it is true that the economy in the FR is based around the gold coin, much Realmslore from all editions indicates other kinds (bronze, silver, platinum) of money are used. Of these, bronze and silver have no place in BG, being less than 1 gp, but platinum is not a bad idea.



#548328 If Baldur's Gate had achievements...

Wow, the thread is brilliant!
