By the way, I've been thinking... Wouldn't it be a great idea if someone could install a mod which cleared toe fog of war or at least expanded the range of vision. This would avoid the nuisance where one can launch fireballs at enemies within the fog of war, without a reaction from the latter.


There is Hlidskialf's mod Clear Fog of War in his collection here:

What you do is rename Weidu.exe (208 or newest) to ClearFogOfWar-Setup. Otherwise the original CFOW setup will choke in installing because its version of Weidu can't handle the large dialog.tlk. It won't do every area but most of them will change.

Changing Line of Sight is harder and then you would have to change the projectiles for fireballs or similar spells so the caster doesn't end up just walking to the closer point to cast the spell.



Oh, I was under the impression that Clear Fog of War didn't work with BGT or BWP. But, heck, if it's OK, then I'd love to use it as I hate the shadows aspect of the game.

Clear Fog.... does not work with BGT or Big World. I told you one secret of how to install it. It is a simple code to add to the script of the area. I am testing with all areas how to do it and some areas( from the vanilla game). It is my own expert installation which is where I am getting or think I am.

Well, I didn't manage to reach even that. I foolishly only removed the components from the XP-reducing mods whereas I should have removed the mods completely, so my megamod-installation failed just before the end. Ah well, I've survived previous Megamod foul-ups.
