Hi,

Is there anyway to add races to the game? Would be awsome If they where selectable on char screen.

Would love to add: undead, illithid, githyanki, drow and maby vampire and skeletal If that would be more correct than undead where a ghoul would fit better :-)

Then would be Nice with several skeleton class etc under undead/skeletal.

Thought There might be a chance now with scrollbars :-)

And how would this fit with the upcomming icewindale in eet? :)

Edit: extra question: if i by spell/effect/item change race, would this cause any known bugs? From elf to undead.

There's at least one or two mods that do this, and maybe an item or two in the vanilla (or EE) game. There's some things you want to account for, but yes, it's possible to make the character screen say "vampire" or whatever.

 

As for making a new race selectable on character creation, that is probably beyond what we can do (though who knows nowadays; I've been gone a while).

There's at least one or two mods that do this

My mod adds a joinable githyanki. (i.e. this is for EET, so it relates to BG2EE game)

 

There was a BGT mod that added a mind flayer but I have not seen this one in BG2EE yet.

I have not seen that done and I would not attempt it. Who ever wishes to play a drow character still has to create an evil elf and select the right colours - the rest is using the own imagination...

Okay, thanks for answere guys :-) i have seen a mod removing all race relative complications. I guess making race change obs items is fine also.

So far i got skeleton fmt aka slayer skeleton, skeleton necromacer(got problems with 3 signatur spells on that), shadow lurker vampire(miss a script around a daywalker amulet), banshee(undead), 2 mindflayers, shadow demon, sirene archer, half dragon. So i guess putting a race change function in mindflayers helm, ring og undead stability, half dragon armor, maleficents staff, daywalker amulet etc would be nice :-)

I often play by vampires. I have given to vampire chars Cloak of Korrkoran and edited dplayer3.bcs to give damage from sun to vampires. If you are interested, I may find my scripts.
