The Restoration Project is a mod for Baldur's Gate aiming to restore literally all unused sounds, as well as some minor cut characters or locations.


II. WHAT THE MOD DOES

A. Restored Locations

This component adds or tweaks some locations that didn't make it to the released version or made no sense at all.

• A tent in Trademeet
  
• A bedroom in Kiser Jhaeri's house, in Saradush, accessible by clicking the wall on the right
• Some cloaks Aran Linvail's cloakroom.

This component restores a few cut characters. Most of them don't have any real role, but serve as flavor.

• A drow cook in the Ust'Natha tavern.
• Becky and Diane, a family living in the tent added by the previous component (synergy!).
• An Amnish privateer and his execution on Brynnlaw.
• An additional grieving nobleman on Nalia's father's funeral.
• A vampire in the Mind Flayers' dungeon in the Underdark.

The biggest and the most important component, it restores proper damaged, dying and morale break sounds to over 1600 characters. A few of them also have additional unused sounds for other occasions.

D. Restored Items

This component restores some items not added by any other mods.

• Blessed bolts (one each in every good-aligned god's temple)
• Purple and red potions (in the tent added by the first component. yess)

This component restores two cut Wish options, them being:

• Globe of Blades on caster (For casters with WIS > 18)
• Party gains 10,000 GP (For casters with WIS < 9)

To install, extract the contents of arpvX.zip to your main BG2 directory, then double-click the setup-arestorationp.exe file, or setup-arestorationp.command if your computer is a Mac and follow the instructions on screen.

To uninstall, do the same.


IV. COMPATIBILITY

Please uninstall the Almateria's Enhanced Small Locations/Places, or some transitions will be doubled!
