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).

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.

Love the medium shields

I have another few helmet issues to report, though

First off, using 1ppv4 style, the "first" helmet's icon (the one you can buy from Winthrop) doesn't match the paperdoll and animation (they both have horns).



The second thing I was wondering about, is there any way you could add a "BG1 Style" option to the helmet choices?
Currently, there is no way to achieve an "authentic" BG1 helmet look in Tutu (and, I assume, BGT as well), and I think this mod is the only chance we've got

I tried "skip this component" plus "apply to Tutu/BG1", but there are still inconsistencies. For instance, the Watchers in Candlekeep would have a totally different style than the one in the original game.
For reference, original animation, "skip this component" animation, and the inventory look (which seems to be correct):


Also, while trying these out, I noticed that not all of the inventory detail images (the ones you get when right-clicking on an item) are updated. Is this planned for a future release?

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.

Installed rc5, no problems so far, gems are loreless thanks!

[Erephine]

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.

[Erephine]

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.

[agris]

I should have known based on the directory stuff, I had a rogue .tp2 from an old install. The old "1pp.tp2" was being picked up by the weidu installer, rather than the "1pp.tp2" in the 1pp directory. Guess I didn't clean out the old version as well as I thought!

FYI, for your IWD fixes package, you have to quit the installer after "fix character attack animation sounds" and re-launch it to install "fix combat animation bug" without it spitting up an error and refusing to install.

EDIT: you beat me!

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.

[agris]

Two minor bugs to report: this is with your IWD fixes but no BG1 avatars, and all 1pp v4 RC5 components installed.

IWD TotLM, female human fighter dualed to a mage. When equipping a high level robe (robe of evil arch-magi) and using the improved avatar switching (item ability to change avatar / paper doll), item overlays on the paper doll have incorrect offsets. 1h sword and circlet are what I noticed. Also, the Flaming Longsword +2 (ULSWD3A) doesn't have the fire on the paperdoll or in-game avatar. It didn't in prior versions either, so this is more an oversight than bug.

[Erephine]

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.

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.

[agris]

Very cool, thank you. I'll test the IWD stuff and let you know how it turns out.

EDIT: Flame blade is looking awesome, no problems with the item offsets now. Thanks again!

Can you talk at all about what components are going to be introduced into BG:EE?

[TDouglas]

First of all, thanks for all the hard work! 1pp is a masterpiece .

I do, however, have a strange bug report: The "spell tweaks" component causes a CTD with BG1NPCv20. The situation is when Xzar and Monty are in the party and Monty begins his first (non-joining) dialog (resting outdoors). No one is casting spells (and no clerics are in the party).

TOBEx reports "ASSERTION FAILED! Return Address: 0x4FF726 File: CGameEffect.cpp Line: 1536 Expression: FALSE Message: (null)".

The major weirdness in my install is that I do NOT have the paperdoll component (101) installed (no offense but I vastly prefer the original paperdoll for half-orc characters).

I've tested with only installing components that are stated to work without 101, and also with pretty much everything else (my current configuration). Everything works fine with the default (non-1pp) paperdolls except for the above problem. 1PP is the last thing in my install order.

While this is not an issue for me I thought I'd let ya know in case someone else has issues with it.

Thanks again for the great mod!!!

FYI, that has to do with an invalid effect opcode.
