Baldur's Gate Beamdog's Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 Enhanced Editions

[Orobis]

I really don't see beamdog lasting in the long run, how long can they sustain this 'enhanced' business for? Is feasting off the corpse's of dead games the only thing this company is capable of?

 

[Excidium II]

They have an original project under work apparently. Didn't hire gaider for nothin.

Oh yea forgot they hired gayder. Any details on this? like isometric engine or anything?

 

[Excidium II]

No idea.

The nonhumans don't cry about it.

Indeed.

There are way too many EE shills in GOG actually.
I wonder how many of them won't side with the people who want the original gamesseparated from the ees because they are omg so problematic.

Do you hang out on the GoG boards? There are more manchild cunts than EE shills there.

Wow, they finally put back to not being able to scroll out of bonds on the maps. And they put in an option to remove the blurriness. Looks much cleaner now (even if pixalated). Good job they listened!
In addition french and russian voice overs are available now. Rest is a bunch of fixes to steadily reach the standard of the original games.

 

[DeepOcean]

Great... They just need to patch the original intro back, bring the original map back and and delete all content included by Beamdog and all the the bugs from Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition will finaly be solved.

Found it. Just wasted like half an hour to generate normal.bmp and normal.fnt file which don't do anything

Ah, that's my thread by the way - the only mod I ever made for BG. Anyway, you have to put them in some other place now, not in the Override folder I think. Keep trying until all your fonts turn to shit, then you'll know the game hooked them up.

Just some info: the key to changing the fonts is... placing a .ttf file in the override folder and naming in properly. Get times.ttf or whatever, rename to normal.ttf (or postanti.ttf for SoD) and voila! Fonts changed :D

I don't usually post there anymore, mostly because the forums have really gone to shit lately. But it wouldn't surprise me if those groups you mention overlap each other.

Something is kinda wrong with the faster bears component from SCS in the EE. They are pretty fast, kinda too fast almost look improved hasted.

In real life bears are much faster than humans.

 

[Jaesun]

It should follow the PnP rules of movement.

Of which I don't know what Bears have off hand...

 

[Daemongar]

All Bears in DnD 2nd Ed had a move of 12", which is about the same speed as an unarmored human I suppose. In 3.5, all bears are speed 40", which I don't remember the base speed of humans off the top of my head (30'?)

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah, even 1st Edition has them at a move of 12". I just realized, I DON'T have the 2nd edition Monster Manual, or I misplaced it... what the hell?

 

[Ramireza]

Well, to be honest, the UI that Beammod has implemented (it's 2016!) is terrible beyond description. Particularly the diary and character sheet are a mess.

Thats the sad truth.

Unitl the SoD Patch i liked the EE Versions. But with the new "SoD" Style UI is the EE Versions are unplayable for me. Is there any way to rollback?

Yeah because gnolls and lichs in the game are modelled correctly after their real life counterparts...


Mah bearz in mah fantasy gaem aren't liek IRL!

This is a shit way to think

Please let this be true now or sometime in the near future.

 

[Melcar]

Man, fuck fast bears. That shit is like fast zombies. Utterly retarded.

 

[Mustawd]

Yeah, even 1st Edition has them at a move of 12". I just realized, I DON'T have the 2nd edition Monster Manual, or I misplaced it... what the hell?

You ever find it?

 

[Jaesun]

It's probably in my storage unit, Just don't have the time to drive all the way out there...

 

[Melcar]

Is "storage unit" some sort of gay euphemism?

 

[Baardhaas]

Yeah, even 1st Edition has them at a move of 12". I just realized, I DON'T have the 2nd edition Monster Manual, or I misplaced it... what the hell?

2nd edition also lists them at 12 speed. With polar bears the only type that have a swimming speed, set at 9. Bit strange that they didn't give swimming speeds to all bears.

Also, if the attack roll of a bear is 18 or better you're 'hugged' for an additional 2d6 or 3d6 of damage (depending on the type of bear). Wonder if that ever got implemented.

 

[Jaesun]

Hug attacks are in FRUA/GoldBox. I don't think there were any creatures in BG that had other hug attacks (like Owlbears). Probably just a waste of time to code for just one monster, in BG.
