Every character written by Rhaella is a must have, tbh. Too bad that she is not active anymore. She had some characters in the pipeline, but they never got finished/released.

Btw, is it possible to remove the restriction on how many Display Icons can be added to the game? As for now, there is a 256 icon limit in the engine, where 64 spots are already allocated by the engine by default (can't be used).

 

The first value in STATDESC.2DA is a sequential number representing the icon index (should be determined dynamically). The second value is the Strref for the effect name. The third value is the Resref of the BAM file.

For the original engine, it is much more complicated because you have to dynamically patch the graphics into STATES.BAM. This would be a real challenge even for WeiDU experts. In the worst case, the BAM file is already full and cannot be expanded because only a maximum of 256 graphics entries are allowed and the first 65 entries are already reserved by the engine.

I mean, if you are that much into roleplaying anyway, self-imposed restrictions shouldn't be a problem. :)

Does anyone know what program + Codecs I should be using to get it done? 

 

Convert to mp4, then bink it with Rad Video Tools, and rename bik to mve -> https://www.radgamet...com/bnkdown.htm

Should work fine.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I just prefer the old way of searching the map for containers/hidden containers just like in BG1

The Throne of Bhaal expansion added the tab key container highlighting, which I personally don't like for the same reasons mentioned by Vlan.  Tab key highlighting was not present in BG1 or SoA.  It would be wonderful if a mechanism for disabling it could be included with either BG2 Improved GUI or Tobex Afterlife.

OK, i will add manual option in TobExTweak.ini to disabling container highlighting

You are a GOD!
