I completed and released version 17 of Tutu Tweaks today. Despite the name, it's now fully compatible with Baldur's Gate Trilogy, and even features a new BGT-only component: Reputation Resets at Beginning of BG2. Future versions will continue to be developed bor both BGT and Tutu.

Good news, lazyness of my part but it is still an interest to install ease of use if using Tutu Tweak pack ?

Also, should you add the Dudley tweak like the one with Entar and the one with the skeleton ?

[Drew]

Tutu tweaks doesn't add the Bonus Merchants and a few of other components ease of use has, so it really depends on what tweaks you want.

[Chevalier]

I am glad to see this!!

Some of these components look like to become standard for me.

[AnnabelleRose]

Camdawg, this kicks ass.

I use almost every component of that mod with TuTu.

[horred the plague]

Yes, very well-done. I'll be certain BP-weidu works with as many of these as possble, gang.

As Drew mentioned, EoU still has a few things not in Tweaks so you'll probably still want to look at both. For Entar and the skeletons, I believe the BG edition of the Unfinished Business mod is going to address both.

[seden]

K, will need to check that out Thanks for the response.

[horred the plague]

The more I've seen of this, the more I like it. A truly fine work.

I was considering yanking many of these things out of the BP-weidu package anyways (they were "hardwired" in classic BP, no options). I want to get every component of this compatible with BP-weidu, and recommend it as an install. Still deciding on before or after BP--whichever works better.

A question: I didn't see anything, but are you altering enemy AI scripts in any way? My system is going to redirect the offsets for most/all of these to a custom BP script. It's either that, or continue overwriting the in-game AI scripts. Just to make sure we aren't bumping heads...

[CamDawg]

Nah, nothing with AI or scripts--that's something I like to leave to folks like you or Sim or cirerrek. A few EXTENDs for non-AI scripts here and there but nothing major.

You might want to check the Amnish Guard Improvements component of G3 Tweaks. Andy wanted to add a new script to all of the affected creatures so I wrote a patch that finds the first empty script slot and uses it. If you needed the override slot, it would be trivial to change it to shuffle everything down instead...

New custom scripts are no issue. I'll be changing things like default slot = WTASIGHT to default slot = BPWTASGT, and so on. COPY_EXISTING REG_EXP GLOB, STRING_COMPARE_CASE, and WRITE_ASCII. Same way your mod handles all the cre files in game already, just different offsets.

Bad example, heh--I already have 9 subscripts of wtasight. Each handles a different group of creatures' items and innates. This I will have to add the 'manual' way (per case basis), not with REG_EXP GLOB.

I "do" have one feature request, however. Would you consider a level-50 component? KD already has the code for it written, in TDD-weidu--so it would not take much work to throw together. Mostly extending the CLAB's, and the flow of the learned spells/abilities. You already have lvl-50 spell tables, so no work there.

If not, I'll have to make this a BP-weidu option. I'd rather just remove it from a "mere" AI and area enhancement mod.

[horred the plague]

I assume from the lack of response, the answer is a resounding "NO!". Therefore, I have added this as an option in BP-weidu.

Add Bags of Holding

BG1 becomes really saturated with bags.

With respect to Grand Mastery fix, it is a courtesy of Schumacher (not Weimer).

EDIT:

Gah, sorry! I missed that part of your post entirely. It could still go into G3/Tutu Tweaks if you're interested.

I took it from Weimer's EoU, which is why his name is here. Backtracking this, it's confirmed this should be credited to James Shumacher--I'll update this. Thanks, Vlad.

[horred the plague]

Naw, it's cool. I made about ten other things optional in BP-weidu, at the same time.

Curses. I snoozed, I lost.

Such is life.

Add Map Notes

...and super-saturated with map notes as well!

[CamDawg]

I probably should've mentioned that these components:

• Breakable Nonmagical Armor, Helms, and Shields
  
• International Weapon Description Fix (Roana)
  
• Add Map Notes

are Tutu-only, since BGT doesn't need them.

Do you have FORBID_COMPONENT of FORBID_FILE on these components, just so that the adventurous player doesn't get a little too far-fetched?

They work, I checked that when I installed it.
