Another idea: making all RealTimer stuff (banters, romance...) faster, by a non linear scaling (if I get around to writing the Fourier series* by hand).
Translating in common language: a 24 hours realtimer could be hastened down to 2 hours, while a 30 minutes timer could be brought to 15/20, and not certainly 30/12.

*: yes, I'm a math student, start mocking

Another component: anybody can summon familiars.

You mean every mage/sorcerer, right? While this would be a great change, it would be quite hard to accept every single character running around with his/her own familiar..

Sure better than some silly restrictions IMNSHO. I'm sure in PnP being a spawn of a God isn't required to have a familiar

Of course, you'll have to police yourself with regards to NPCs like Tashia who have their own familiar, but I'm sure people won't mind

Cespenar wants that, oh yes!

Coding schedule is somewhat late, but it will be done

Weird, I was asked the same question at an Italian forum this afternoon

Anyway, I lost all relevant files some months ago and can't find the willingness to resurrect that component (at least for now); however, thanks for the suggestions, I'll keep them in mind for when I do actually work on that

[the bigg]

Do you need the e-mail address?

Charm fix. When you're playing solo, and someone charm you, you will die. Can you fix that?

[Radagast-The-Brown]

Hello, just wanted to make a suggestion though I hate to say that activity in this forum is kinda low, considering how great and useful most of your mods are thebigg.

How about stopping items from being lost when a party member/enemy char is either level drained to death, or disintegrated or petrified etc. Same goes for when an enemy is imprisoned. It's very annoying and also makes the level draining vampire "Valen" from the NPC mod, completely useless since many items are lost when she level drains enemies...

Either of those above situations make the player load his game which sucks.
Thanx for everything anyway most of the tweaks here really rock ^^

[the bigg]

Not sure how I could do that (save marking all items as undestroyable, which'd make them unsellable, or something). IIRC, Level Drain doesn't destroy items, though.

I'm sure there is a way cause I heard of a tweakpack already out there that makes disintegrate, petrify powerless to destroy items as if the difficulty was easy or something. I just can't remember the name of that tweak.

As for level drain, It doesn't destroy items if the victim has "still" levels left while dying. If it is level drained to 0 level and "die" from the level drain and NOT the damage dealt, then ye items might get destroyed too.

I think you are talking about this Pro5's tweak pack.

Exactly ^^. These 2 tweaks could actually merge and make one out of the 2. But as it seems, I could ask pro5 to actually implement the level drain not losing items tweak that I have in mind to actually make Valen playable too But that's another issue I guess...

[Jarno Mikkola]

I, ah..., like the idea. But I could like it more if it led into a creation of a Combo Tweak Pack(large/huge). A pack that checks whether you have BG, BGII, BGT or Tutu installed and then give you an option of implementing tweaks that can be done. Items, spells, NPC-kits... just to name a few(that have already been done in other tweak packs, though this needs all their consent).

But that's just my dream, or is it?

[Azazello]

If you develop it yourself, the Dream becomes Reality.

[the bigg]

pro5 isn't high enough in my modder-trust scale to incorporate his stuff or give him mine.

[Jarno Mikkola]

That's exactly the reason why I won't be doing the Combo Tweak Pack, nobody can or should trust my modding skills, as I have none.

Sorry Bigg, if we toke this threat a lot off from it's original purpose.

I know there are a ton of shop mods out there, but a few more "Paladin only" items would not be a bad thing, IM(Not So)HO.
