Greetings to the BG community. I am pleased to announce that PoF will be adapted to the EET platform. The Graion Dilach who are called persuaded me in the fact that PoF was on EE and EET. I Gorion give them full rights to edit the mod and further support the project.

I give permission to change the contents of the mod. I want the mod to be improved as best as possible.
This could mean changing the balance of certain things, or rewriting certain aspects of the dialogue, or adding other translation languages.

Uhm, that's new to me (Endarire, you should stop promising stuff in my name, thank you). Sure, I'll take a look.

This is jastey's official reply on the matter:

Anyone with a GitHub account can fork repositories and make pull requests, no special access is needed.

Technical updates for mods are accepted if they are technical or language updates only. If it's from someone we do not know yet one of us has to validate the changes, that is why it might take a while. But any mod hosted at SHS can be updated technically by SHS staff.

I assume that for Infinity Engine mods not yet uploaded to GitHub, the process is:

-Download the mod.

-Update/fix the mod.

-Contact the Gibberlings3 or/and Spellhold Studios staff members like jastey and GwendolyneFreddy with the changes documented as well as the relevant files attached or linked.

-Talk and work with them as prudent.

I was referring to mods officially hosted at SHS. The "Mods Resurrections" forum is not officially hosted mods, just like the "Miscellaneous Mods" and "BG:EE Mods" are not.

Thanks jastey for clarifying the situation with the mod download service. I put the mod into free floating, since I am not a coder and cannot change certain elements of the mod without critical losses. Here are the guys let them try their hand at modding on this mod project.

Graion Dilach said he would look at this, but I've heard nothing from him about it.

Thanks for asking!

Yeah, this is among my lowest priorities. Every time I see Endarire nagging someone with stuff, my interest timer restarts. So it never lasts long.

Hello,

Goran allow me to work on a EE update for Paladins of Faerun Quest Pack !

So I have no coding knowledge but I am willing to do what needs to be done...

Here is the link to github with the first commit / draft / step for EE compatibility....

I will have many question and hope some of you can help me find the answers.

For now the mod install without issue, and (Test only with Clua console, no regular playtrough) Areas, Quests, Dialogues (for french and english...) seems to work fine...

To get started :

- The first problem is the first cinematic (just before Irenicus' one) which displays a black screen until it is finished.

- Baf files from Paladins of Faerun s#AR0602.BAF 2.69K 129 downloads

- Baf files installed on a EET game with other big mod AR0602.BAF 31.05K 119 downloads

At the same time I'm working on the French translation, the English one could use a proofreading if someone is interested.

By the way, here is an example of the worldmap with the many areas added by mods (RoT, TDD, CtB, SotSC, DSotSC, NTotSC, SoS, IWD1_EET, IWD2_EET, BoneHill)...

- Some locations can be moved if needed, I'm not sure if the integration with the worldmap is optimal with all these mods, some areas like Ormyrr's Peak or the circle of druid (from CtB, (Hide behind BG1600, Cloakwood)) seems out of place, I plan to install other mods (like other Lava mods) adding areas on the worldmap to make sure that none of them overlap.

You can find a more detailled version in this thread on ArcaneCoast !

Sure, Ormyrr's Peak isn't ideal but there's a mod which pushes the Gnoll Stronghold a little bit east from the coast and I wasn't sure how to proceed against that - I set up the SotSC areas on this one and this was the best I could come up with.

This is a good idea otherwise, I'll prolly try to do this with the EET Worldmap in a throwaway installation myself as well.

Thanks for the heads up, it's good to know it's intentional, and I agree the placement is correct !

I'll post a new worldmap with more mods after I'm done scratching my head with this cinematic...

Right now it only works if the script is placed at the end of the .BCS, but it doesn't make sense after Imoen has already joined the group.

An alternative would be to play the cinematic when the group discovers Kahlid's body in the other map, but it might be even more complicated to do...

In progress...

So it seems that if the script is moved lower to the bcs, it can work, After some import of characters, and others other stuffs, but Before the first arrival of Irenicus...

The question is : Someone could show me an example of how to insert the script in a specific part of the bcs or point to a mod that uses this feature, in this case EXTEND_BOTTOM and EXTEND_TOP are not enough, I guess I could use

WRITE_ASCII
but I can't find any clear example in RoT and CtB for

0x0018 these correspond to a certain location in the file but how do you know which one
0x0024
0x0030
0x003c... or else

and I'm having a hard time understanding the instructions in the weidu documentation.

or COPY_EXISTING
DECOMPILE_BCS_TO_BAF
But I don't know how to patch a file either.

I'll find out sooner or later but any help is welcome (so that it doesn't take several days before I understand...).

EDIT :
While waiting to find a better solution, here is a modification of ar0602.baf which solves the problem...

IF
	OnCreation()
	Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)  // Irenicus's Dungeon 1st Floor
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		StartCutSceneMode()
		HideGUI()
		FadeToColor([1.0],0)
		SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)  // Irenicus's Dungeon 1st Floor
		Continue()
END

IF
  True()
  Global("EnteredAR0602","AR0602",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    SetGlobal("EnteredAR0602","AR0602",1)
    ClearAllActions()

    Wait(2)
    MoveViewPoint([3740.2799],INSTANT)
    ActionOverride("IMOENMOD",DestroySelf())
    ActionOverride("JONWMOD",DestroySelf())
    ActionOverride("JOWCMOD",DestroySelf())
    ActionOverride("IRENMMOD",DestroySelf())
    Continue()
END


IF
  Global("S#setAR0602","AR0602",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[1075.3193],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[512.2745],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[796.2259],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[1096.2654],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[982.2579],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[845.2468],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[472.2143],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[948.1805],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[877.1493],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[537.1241],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[434.1001],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[790.1113],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[1247.793],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[1119.732],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[1037.546],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[2052.311],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[2210.721],0)
    CreateCreature("JONWMOD",[3485.2179],0)
    CreateCreature("JOWCMOD",[3692.1100],0)
    CreateCreature("ERRADMOD",[1911.2881],0)   
    SetGlobal("S#setAR0602","AR0602",1)
    Continue()
END

So the section below will be duplicated with the original one...

IF
	OnCreation()
	Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)  // Irenicus's Dungeon 1st Floor
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		StartCutSceneMode()
		HideGUI()
		FadeToColor([1.0],0)
		SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)  // Irenicus's Dungeon 1st Floor
		Continue()
END

But once the variable SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602") is set to 1 the duplicated part should be ignored...

I also forgot to say that the prefix P of the mod needs to be changed for EE, because I don’t remember where it is used mod.

I haven't done links.tbl area from mods yet TDD, CtB,Sos and Rot for worldmar. Because you have to return to Askatla constantly)))

Ok, I sent a registration request to The Black Wyrm's Lair, until I can post a prefix request, some important new questions :

- The choice of the prefix ? I suggest #P# but any idea that is not already taken by other modders can work !

- The changes needed for files and file path...

All creatures, tis , Areas, dialogues, Items ... should probably be reported in several files, how can we be sure not to forget any?

If anyone who has done such a task before has any advice or cautions to offer, they would be most welcome ?

As far as I remember EE uses one symbol or number in the prefix for mod compatibility

In this case what do you think of :

- "PoF".... if allowed

or

-"P_F".... if allowed

or

- "P0F".... if allowed

Edit :

Seem to be a convention for the symbol, not a restriction !

Except for the name of Areas, and a maximum of seven letters. "PoF" can be a good in-between

First possibility: [A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z#_!-]
Second possibility: [#][A-Za-z_!-]

Goran I let you validate one of them, or another if you like...

It seems that the prefix "GO", "GO!", "GO#", "GO_" or else is available, we could also associate the mod to your modder name...

For a prefix, what about choosing a 2 letter prefix that's available like "BO" or "OB"? I'd prefer to avoid using # in filenames because of possible operating system errors.

Prefix List. Discussion thread.
