Topics I've Started

Playing Torment for the very first time (lucky me!)

12 June 2008 - 01:13 PM

I'll also be using the G3 Widescreen mod when I play. I've had a good look through the readme, but I'm still not sure what's good for a newbie.

For those mods that change things graphically e.g. Use Floating Text Font Globally, Easter Egg Morte etc, would it be possible to see some before/after screenshots?

Edit: Oh, and regarding the Widescreen mod, I've read that there are 'hidden containers' in Torment, so will I still be able to find these when running at 1280x800? That's the res I'm using for Tutu and BG2 on a 20 inch screen.

Curious stuttering issue with Shapeshifting fix -> Heal on shifting

25 April 2008 - 03:54 PM

It's 12:45am here and I haven't had a chance to test things thoroughly, but it seems that the above component is causing my game to pause every other second when the protagonist is in shapeshifted form.  The game is fine when my druid (I chose an avenger, and haven't yet tried any other kits) is in human form, but as soon as I shapeshift the game freezes for a second, then unfreezes, then freezes again etc.

If I turn back to human, the freezing goes away until I shapeshift to another form.  Also, what is interesting is that if I stay shapeshifted but then select another character, the freezing goes away, even though the protagonist is still in shapeshift form.  So it only seems to occur with the protagonist shapeshifted and selected.

I freed Jaheria from her cage and had her shapeshift, but there wasn't any freezing.  Here's my WeiDU.log (I installed all these mods with WeiDU 20600):

Maybe someone else could do a quick test for me and see if they have the same problem.  The problem goes away if I uninstall the Shapeshifting fix, so I'm sure it's that that's causing this (if not, I'm sure bigg will politely let me know).  I'll hopefully get a chance to do more testing tomorrow, but for now it would be a big help if this could be checked on a different machine to my own.

Could someone help me make a minor edit to a Hathor Viconia edit?

27 January 2008 - 09:33 AM

I've been using one of Hathor's Viconia edits for a while now, but I've recently got back into BG and have noticed that the row of pixels on the far right of the image is the wrong colour. Mostly it's a black line, but towards the top there's some white. You'll see what I mean if you zoom right in and look at the right-hand side of the image. I'm surprised I hadn't noticed this before, since it seems really noticeable in-game, especially if you're browsing through the available portraits during chargen.

Anyway, I was wondering if there's anyone out there who could fix this row of pixels somehow. I suppose copying the colour of the last but one row of pixels and then pasting that might do it. Sadly, I only have MS Paint available to me, so I don't think I can do such a thing myself.
