Baldur's Gate & Baldur's Gate II Mod Thread

[Russia is over. The end.]

So far I've yet to hear anything bad about this Roxanne person. She makes mods and made some fake accounts to shill her own opinions or blow her own trumpet.
Makes mods: positive thing
Fake accounts: neutral, nothing burger.

Net: positive

Did she ever do anything controversial?

 

[octavius]

What mods did she make and are they any good?

 

[Delterius]

No, it's deadly serious. Think about it: half of the people we have all come to trust and cherish here turn out to be Roxanne.

This is hilarious tbh.

Imagine waking up one day and finding out half the codex are my alts.

[hello friend]

Ey any of you scrubs know how to make the original Baldur's Gate (non-tutu, non BGT) work with

-ikonomov's Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 Widescreen HD GUI in 1280 x 720
-plainab's BG1 Fixpack
-BG1 Unfinished Business (Is this even good?)
-G3 Tweakpack
-G3 Widescreen mod
-narzoul's DDrawCompat

Also if there's a better way to play Baldur's Gate, let me know. I want to play mostly vanilla, but with slightly less claustrophobic viewscreen and increased stack size for arrows and shit.

Using GoG version

It's very little amount of mods, just read their readme for correct order.
Usually it's:
- fixpack first
- tweakpack second
- [random mods]
- widescreen mod last

With that in mind and reading the readmes, you should figure out the rest.

(And DDrawCompat isn't even a mod as far as I know, just a dll you put in the game's folder.)

 

[hello friend]

Yeah I did that, ended up with the entire game hiding in the upper left corner in small res every time I opened my inventory.

I would recommend asking around on G3 discord. Usually one or two nerds around who know this stuff really well.

Charmed Gromnir just to see what would happen. Nothing happened. Can't talk to him.

It's a wasted opportunity to make the game deeper at the cost of practically nothing.

 

[Nano]

BW stopped bothering with writing those after BG1.

Pretty sure he frequents the obsidian forums if you really want to talk to him...

EE functionality for Classic BG

http://www.shsforums.net/topic/60986-bg2-impoved-gui/

Does it include easy switching between 1H&Shield and 2H weapons?
I played the EE up until the party reached Beregost, and that function was the only enhancement I experienced.

What do you guys think about Item and Spell Revision? I have never used them, Are they any fun? or its just balance bs?

SR people seem to like. It nerfs some spells and buffs others. I don't use it though because the nerfs are more an announce than a difficulty bump. SSC has some spell changes that are less drastic that I usually include instead.

IR is a steaming pile of shit that turns 2E itemization into 3E munchkinism. Of course other people think its great so...

SR nerfs some arcane spells, but then introduces others that are overpowered, so in terms of balance there is little difference. I liked the changes to divine spellbooks better: druids get regenerating instead of cure wounds spells, so they don't overlap with clerics so much.

IR haven't tried.

Try Hard Times + Curse Items instead.

Try Hard Times + Curse Items instead.

Just looked up Hard Times and it sounds interesting - will definitely try it out in my upcoming BG1 run.

 

[Tygrende]

Anyone got any idea what UI mod is used in this video? It's in higher resolution, but the bottom menu is perfectly centered and the otherwise black areas in inventory/map/etc. screens are completly filled with a very fitting background.



Edit: Fuck, that's just vanilla at higher resolutions, I completly forgot that BG2 resolution goes above 800x600. Thank you agris for making me double-check. Nothing to see here, folks, just reviving a thread after 5 months to show I'm kinda retarded sometimes.

None of us are that funny.
