Not an update per se, but 4.1.0 should be on SHS now

will look into it, thanks.

SHS uploads should be functional again, so download should no longer be an issue soon Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime (but I figured releasing/updating anyway was better than having you wait!).

This may be a tiny issue:
The circlet of the archmagi does not increase intelligence and saving throws by 1 but sets the saving throws vs. death, petrify and wands to 1 instead.

Will look into this, thanks.

1pp for TotLm:

lirobe.spl has references to non-existent effects 'fm_gnome.eff' and 'mm_gnome.eff'. Available would be 'fm_gnom0.eff' and 'mm_gnom0.eff'....

If I remember correctly it doesn't matter/is a vestige as IWD/TotLM does not actually set gnome animations. Can check though

Bug Report: Baldur's Gate, Easy Tutu, Mods, 1PP, Ulcaster Ruins, Icharyd crash

Hi. I'm not sure this is the right place for it, but I've run into a gamebreaking bug while using this mod. When encountering Icharyd at the Ulcaster Ruins the game will crash to the desktop every time.

It seems there is a conflict between one component of 1PP and #400 Core updates and item patches. I can install different combinations just fine, but as soon the #400 Core component is in place the game will crash. Uninstalling that component eliminates the problem.

To be sure, I started with a fresh Tutu install and installed each mod in the log below one at a time, and ran the content each time. There were no problems until I installed 1PP. At that point, I uninstalled all the 1PP components and reinstalled them one at a time, again running the content fine until good ol' #400.

It's not a huge deal, but it does make this one encounter unplayable and the northeast section of the Ulcaster map unreachable.

Edit: I suspect this may have something to do with animations, or equipment. Icharyd wields a Flail +1, wears a helmet and carries a Medium Shield (which looks like an old-style BG1 Medium Shield regardless of whether or not 1PP is installed at all).

Thanks. Haven't reproduced yet but will definitely look at it. What are your install options on 400, content-wise?

I've encountered two small bugs with this really fantastic mod (I have v4.0.0 installed). The first is that Eilistraee's Circlet gives 100% magic-damage resistance rather than 10%. The other is a mod (semi-) conflict: when I change an avatar using the "Avatar Morphing Script" from BG2 Tweaks, the avatar change doesn't survive loading a save. Upon loading, the avatar reverts to the default and I have to rerun the morphing script.

Wonderful mod, btw. Many thanks!

Ah, actually 110% Typo in the installer. Thanks for spotting
Not much to be done about the other thing -- the avatar switching component does what it says on the tin (dynamically changes avatars according to equipment), which breaks/reverts any non standard avatar for party characters as long as the .cre is set to one of the standard PC races.

Glad you enjoy!

Here!

Cheers, will add rudimentary detection/support to the next build.

Figured out what was causing the conflict with SPWI317..
BG2 Tweak Pack - Rule Changes:

Add Save Penalties for Spells Cast by High-Level Casters (BETA)
By request, this component will adjust spells to have save penalties when cast by high-level casters. For every five levels over the minimum level required to learn a spell, a -1 to saves will be imposed.
For example, Hold Person is a second level cleric spell, and can be learned when a character hits level three. When the character hits level eight, the spell now has a -1 penalty to the victim's saving throw. At level 13 it's -2; at 18 it's -3, etc. all the way out to -9 at level 48. The penalties are extended out to level 50 in case players are playing an XP cap-free game or with one of the various level-50 rule sets.
The penalties will work against you for spells from enemies, but I expect this component will, in general, probably make the game a lot easier. You'll have the choice to add these penalties to divine spells, arcane spells, or both.
NOTE: This component has been flagged as beta. There have been sporadic reports of crashes with this component installed, but I have not yet been able to replicate and solve these issues. If you should encounter issues with this component, please file a bug report at the mod's forum--I really, really want to get this nailed down and fixed.

Can you/someone attach the patched .spl file after installing the Tweak Pack component?

Ah, I can see how the 1ppv4 spell tweaks component might conflict with other mods. For the individualised armour effects, I patch in the new references which are located in extended headers. Supposing another mod changes these around before installing (whether by adding/removing or otherwise changing the offsets) it would likely lead to corrupted files; there's currently no check to verify that the offsets are indeed correct. Will try and improve compatibility in further updates (would be helpful to know exactly what mod/changes this conflicts with in the interim).

----

That said, first feature update:




- Scale shields now have their own animations rather than using the BG2 medium shield ones (see above to the right, taken from the documentation)
- Improved carried/description images (should be a lot more consistent) along with other item-related bug fixes
- Fixed GUI overlap issues with low resolutions.

I'll see if that is feasible when I get to it.

Other things to take care of first

The 'issue' is that it overwrites scripts that were fixed by the IWD fixpack. Even if you adopt the fixpack as your template by which to update, then you are stil beholden to update the scripts when the fixpack updates. It seems like direclty patching the .bcs files is the most direct way to avoid problems, now and in the future.

Does the IWD fixpack patch the BCS files? If so, there should not be any issues if it's installed after.

Possible, but a fair bit of work/testing.

Is it currently an issue?

Reuploaded the fixed installer in case anyone wants it (before the package can be updated)

Aannd... we are no longer a RC (I know, I know)



legacy shields v2 == complete.


The new version also includes a few tweaks to the GUI component, and offers more choice when it comes to item colours on install (allowing you not to set major/minor colours for any items, magical or otherwise; allowing you to set item colours for everything except BG1 shields).

If that's definitely the component causing the problem, it would have to be triggered by one of the following spells:

SPWI317, SPWI414, SPPR510, SPPR608

or possibly a corrupted spell ids/table after adding two spells via WeiDU. If someone could check what exactly is triggered in the banter, that would be a huge help in narrowing down the issue.

And it is up changes in the new release are the paperdoll handling in IWD and the addition of the remade small shields.

Little known fact about myself: BG1 small shields have always been my favourite so I wanted to make sure I get them right (definitely happier with them this time around!). Picking up Viconia with her dark green small shield while exploring out in the Sword Coast wilderness = one of the things I associate most vividly with my early BG experiences. That shield.

Actually not so minor. IWD:HoW/TotLM has always been a bit of a mess when it comes to the human female animation series and paperdolls. Basically, the size classification and way the game handles these changed between the BG1 and BG2 engines, and as IWD continued to use the old paperdolls it was pretty much a hack using half BG2 and half BG1 assets, inconsistently implemented to boot. As a result, an absolute pain as far as modding goes.

Soo in the interest of preserving hair and preventing future frustration, I've decided to hell with it and updated the code/references to consistently use BG2 content. Changes a few components, so if you could test once it goes up that would be fantastic.

I've been somewhat loath to do this in the past for those who want to stay as true to the original IWD as possible, but I guess now you can just use the BG1 animations if that is what you're after (should introduce no new incompatibilities) So yeah, should be more consistent in either choosing the more BG2 oriented look, or the original BG1 code.

I've added the flaming longsword to the item patches.

Ah, was wondering whether I had got around to uploading the updated installer for that one.

Will do it as soon as SHS uploads get fixed (to save K'ae some grief) as it's a known issue and not really harming anything.

Sorry to bother you, but I'm having a problem getting RC5 to install on IWD1. This is what I've installed so far:

And now I'm trying to apply RC5 to the game, but A) I'm getting options that aren't even listed in the readme, and appear to be from the old version (referencing a directory structure that isn't present in the current 1pp folder) and B) almost nothing installs correctly. I completely deleted my old 1pp folder and .debug / setup file prior to copying over the RC5 assets.

setup-1pp.debug contents


Any idea what is going on?

Make sure to delete 1pp.tp2 from your IWD directory.

Updates for SoA/ToB, Tutu/ToSC and PS:T are up

Congratulations on RC5!

Mandark raises an issue that niggles at me, and maybe unnecessarily so. The item details often include sketches of items that don't match the item icon- assuming there is a suitable item sketch for each icon, is this something you plan on updating Erephine?

Depending on your install options, carried images (the ones in the item description) are not always optimal. It's an issue I am aware of, and sadly was present to a noticeable degree in the original games, so definitely in my sights to maybe fix.

I can sketch new carried images but the limiting factor (for the time being) is time.

If I remember correctly, there were a few other fixes in it as well, which is a shame. While I don't really have the time to devote either, I could try and isolate them for an interim patch, perhaps?

Likewise. Good to be here, too

There was also a fixed version for the ANSI issue, but it looks like it was never released.

Sent the files to Miloch/et al. who currently maintain this mod sometime last year; assumed it had gone through.

Perhaps. There is currently no true port of BG1 helmet animations, which is why the installer refers to it as fake BG1 style.

I try to approximate with the animations that are there, which is a better fit than vanilla but by no means perfect. 'Skip' is actually the worst choice if you care for accuracy; the fake BG1 option is the closest you can get at present. Also, if you like the BG1 style icons/approximations, you should not 'apply to Tutu' as that is the default for Tutu installs.

The helmet you refer to as not matching is an update of the typical BG2 helmet. I think it 'sort of' matches, but if amongst the helmets 1pp offers you feel there is a better match feel free to point it out. That you get it at Winthrop's is an issue because you're applying BG2 items to Tutu -- the helmet is rather rare in BG2 so I put the alternate there, whereas it is very common in BG1/Tutu.

This is the paperdoll/avatar series for the female elven wizard in standard BAM colours:



Pink and teal are the major and minor clothing colour, respectively, and the ones you can change for your characters. The other colours (trim/detail = grey, metal = blue, leather = red) vary from NPC to NPC (hence why they look different in different screenshots), and are the ones set by equipped robes. In the unarmoured state, you are stuck with your character defaults save for editing the default values in NI.

Here we go

Updates include the BG1 medium shields, the aforementioned improved colour choices and various fixes from the last couple of pages of this thread. It also includes six additional pixels on non-magical arrow inventory icons! As always, let me know if anything is weird (that isn't me).

Can't wait

In the meantime, here's another weird thing that happened to me:
Jondalar (the guy in Candlekeep that teaches you about combat) killed my character!

I'm pretty sure his quarterstaff is not supposed to deal any damage, so I'm wondering if there's a chance 204 (Colourable Quarterstaves) might be the culprit?
(the archer in the same encounter still deals the proper 0 damage per hit, which is why I'm suspicious of this component)

I can't see anything that would patch the damage.

However, from what I can see the weapon he has equipped (staf04) hits and acts like a regular staff in BG2 whereas it has zero damage in BG1/Tutu and is undroppable. In my Tutu install the file seems correct as per BG1, but that might have something to do with the issue.

Oh, I meant more along the lines of "so I can reproduce the bug and fix it in WeiDU."

Sure. Might just have been something I did wrong (entirely possible as I am bad at WeiDU) but the file we are looking at is 210_v4_ppd_variety.tph at the very end.

Compare with this one, which as far as I can tell should do exactly the same, but actually works:
