Dark Side of the Sword Coast

This is the BGT/EET version of the original mod for BG1 - Tales of the Sword Coast. New spells, items, 5 major quests, new areas, and 7 new NPCs are available to your party. Most NPCs have quests. Quests include rescuing a child from vampires, saving a town from a dragon, and searching for missing people.

(Silent) Joinable NPCs in the mod:
Jetlaya, Half-Elf Cleric, S 16, I 12, W 18, D 17, C 16, Ch 10
Cuchoinneach, Elf Ranger, S 17, I 11, W 16, D 19, C 16, Ch 8
Conchobhair, Human Paladin, S 18/35, I 10, W 16, D 14, C 17, Ch 18
Ferthgil, Dwarf Fighter, S 18/72, I 7, W 12, D 17, C 19, Ch 5
Bub, Human Fighter, S 17, I 10, W 11, D 16, C 14, Ch 13
Keiria, Half-Elf Bard, S 16, I 18, W 12, D 18, C 16, Ch 18
Skeezer, Gnome Illusionist/Thief, S 14, I 19, W 11, D 12, C 12, Ch 10
Thorfinn, Human Barbarian S 18/87, I 8, W 11, D 17, C 18, Ch 6

The mod starts after you complete the Cloakwood Mines. Return to the Friendly Arms Inn to meet with Jet'laya. As in the original DSotSC mod, other areas are also modified, so some parts to this mod you may see before Chapter 5.

This version of DSotSC is compatible with BGT and EET.

If you are looking for the BG:EE version have a look here.

If we're using the latest release on EET (4.2 as of this writing) as well as Spell Revisions (SR) and IWDification, when should we install the new spell components from DSotSC?

Thankee!

After the others, because I can't tell what other mods expect. The point of compat here was that this mod can and will work with any spell setup installed before it and won't attempt to overwrite or duplicate spells already installed prior.

Thankee.  It's the same as when the code was on the master branch.

Is there a BGEE (non-EET) version of DSotSC that's at least similar in functionality?  The latest version I found for BGEE was released years before the newest EET version.

Thankee!

Hello !


If I want to add the French IWD soundsets to the mod, do they have to be in OGG format ?


Or can I leave them in Wav format ?

JohnBob: WAV format works on both engines EE and classic. OGG works only on EE.

Endarire: this version of DSotSC for BG:EE is the only one I know: https://forums.beamd...st-for-bg-ee/p1

Thanks !

So DSotSC converts ogg files to wav for BGT ?

Probably. The weidu function would be HANDLE_AUDIO, which does exactly that (leave ogg for EE, transform them to wav for classic).

See https://github.com/S...tp2#L2074-L2094 for in-mod example.

The second block is language-specific, so I think you don't even need to touch the code itself, and maybe only doublechecking the translation entries.
