Hey guys. I don't know if any of you will be able to help me with this, but I've recently noticed something strange going on with the Legacy Shields mod. For some reason, whenever I equip a shield of any size, the area immediately surrounding the shield becomes transparent on my character's avatar. I've been through the entire game with the 1pp mods before, but this is the first time I have noticed an issue like this. It mostly occurs during the avatar's idle animation, though it seems to disappear when the character engages in battle. It's almost like there's an invisible box around the shield that blocks out part of the avatar. I've done several clean installs of both EasyTutu and 1pp4, thinking it might just be a buggy install, but still this issue remains.

 

Given the overall excellent quality of the mod, coupled with the fact that the Legacy Shields all render flawlessly in IWD, I'm guessing it's not supposed to look like this. Any thoughts/suggestions?

The question, what else has changed ? Say did you install the game a new, or did you upgrade your computer or things like that...

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

Well, here's the thing. Before I noticed the glitch, I had been having trouble installing certain mods. My gaming CPU is pretty old, and it tends to freeze up when it gets overworked. Likely this was due to the computer freezing in the midst of installing mods, leading me to force-quit the WeiDu program and thereby corrupting the mod files. For this reason, I ended up re-installing both BG1 and 2, as well as EasyTutu. That's really the only difference.

 

I've since tried every configuration I can think of in 1pp, but I'm still getting this weird invisible box around the shield animation. My gaming computer doesn't have an internet connection, but I'll try my best to get a picture of the problem if that would help.

Okay, so this is the best image I could get. As you can see, the area along the upper edge of the shield is completely transparent; you can see the floor of the inn through the avatar's body. This is after a clean install of EasyTutu, with only a few mods in place (Tutufix, BG1UB, and 1pp4 specifically). The same thing also happens in BG2, but as I mentioned before, is not at all present in IWD.

Like said elsewhere, this bug is easy to solve by just tagging the selection box in the BGConfig.exe's -> Gameplay -> Visual -> "Translucent Shadows" option.
