Kit Revisions in Development
Following along his tradition set by Spell Revisions and Item Revisions, Demivrgvs has started development of a new mod, Kit Revisions. This WeiDU mod aims to rebalance and tweak the classes and kits available in the Baldur's Gate II engine. Notable priorities include making all kit choices equally interesting, providing unkitted characters with similar capabilities to kitted ones, ensuring that kits are effectively balanced in Tutu and BGT, and expanding upon the concepts behind individual kits and classes. You can follow his progress and contribute by visiting the Forum.

IWD-in-BG2 enters open beta testing
IWD-in-BG2 is a conversion of Icewind Dale to the Baldur's Gate II game engine. In the short term, this allows lots of BG2 goodies - spells, kits, dual-wielding, sorcerers, and the like - to be used in Icewind Dale. In the longer term, we hope it'll make modding IWD much easier - especially where joinable NPCs are concerned.
IWD-in-BG2 is now an open beta release, and if you would like to playtest it - or just see what it's about - then check out the forum.
A Trio of Mod Updates
Three mods have received attention from international translators, and have jumped forward into 2009.
Sorcerer's Place Collection reaches v8
This collection of kits and an item pack from Sorcerer's
Place has added Giuseppe's Italian translation, and been packaged for Windows, OS X, and Linux. The mods in this collection were originally in an older, harder-to-install format until CamDawg converted them to use a WeiDU installer. Item restrictions are applied dynamically, meaning that the item restrictions for the Arcane Fist and Archer of Sylvanus kits will be implemented across all items in the game, including those added or altered by other mods. Polar Bear, Drizzt1180, and Creslyn wrote the original content. Grab it from the downloads page, browse the readme or project page, or join us on the forum.
v3 of the NPC Kitpack is released
Idobek's NPC Kitpack is designed to add four new kits and provide the opportunity to give a kit to eight of the BioWare NPCs. Version 3 has a refresh of WeiDU, packaging for Linux as well as Windows and OS X, and an Italian translation by Giuseppe. You can find it on the downloads page, browse the readme or project page, or join us on the Forum
Unfinished Business for Icewind Dale, version 2
Like its predecessors for Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II, Unfinished
Business for Icewind Dale aims to restore content and quests that were
omitted from the game as shipped. The additional content in this mod is
based on what CamDawg could piece together from various game resources. Version 2 features Isaya's repairs and Graoumf's French translation, as well as Giuseppe's Italian translation. It ships in Windows, OS X, and Linux, and updates to WeiDU v210. It is available on the downloads page, you can browse the readme or project page, or join us on the Forum.
BG1Tweaks Arrives!
With spring comes a renewal of the venerable Baldur's Gate, using BG1Tweaks v1. In this compilation, grogerson reworks and converts sections of The BG2 Tweak Pack and several other sources to work on Baldur's Gate games. A WeiDU compilation of fixes, cosmetic changes, and tweaks, grogerson comments that "Some of these were fan requests, others are needed fixes, and others simply make dealing with the more irritating aspects of the game engine easier. Each component can be installed separately so the player can pick and choose only which ones they wish to install." With packages for Windows, OS X, and Linux, version 1 ships with WeiDU v210. You can learn more on the project page or readme, or you can participate in the Tweak Packs forum. The mod is available on the downloads page.
Full Plate & Packing Steel reaches v2
With Full Plate & Packing Steel, erik delivers a rework of the armour system of BG2, IWD and BG1Tutu, and a small collection of tweaks, dependent or not. In the standard armour system, characters as agile and sprightly in full plate as in light leather armour. Heavy armour helps not one bit if a goblin happens to hit you in the chest with a bent butterknife. You get hurt just as bad as the random unarmoured commoner. In his rework, light, enchanted armours actually help you dodge and take a bit of the sting out. Heavy, enchanted armours don't help dodging much. But they absorb perhaps half or more of the blow in exchange for slowing you down. Armour spells and potions are modified to match the systematic changes. Stealth, thieving and casting in heavy armour is possible, but difficult. Heavy armour has quite another feel now. With packages for Windows, OS X, and Linux, version 2 ships with WeiDU v210. Changes by popular demand include: Fatigues you more and hurts your acrobatics, missile aim and backstab speed less! Lots of compatibility updates for common mods. Some bugfixes. You can learn more on the project page or readme, or you can participate in the Full Plate forum. The mod is available on the downloads page.
New Version of Sword Coast Stratagems Available
Version 12 of Sword Coast Stratagems has been released. SCS is primarily a tactical mod for Tutu and Baldur's Gate Trilogy. The idea is to make the game rather more tactically challenging, rather than just making it harder by brute-force methods like tripling all the damage rolls. It also contains a few rule tweaks and ease-of-use features. v12 corrects an error in v11's Spanish translation, and fixes a few small bugs. Grab the new version on the download page . You can learn more about the mod on the SCS project pages or in the readme. SCS also has a forum to discuss ideas and provide feedback.
G3 Announces New Mod in Progress: Shadow Hand Total Conversion
Mike1072 and theacefes have teamed up to create a new total conversion mod using the Infinity Engine. "Baldur's Gate: Shadow Hand" continues the Baldur's Gate saga by making one assumption of your Bhaalspawn: that you chose mortality at the end of Throne of Bhaal. Set thirty years after ToB, Shadow Hand brings you back to the Sword Coast, where you'll meet new friends (6 new joinable NPCs), new enemies, and play your way through an original storyline with several subquests! You can learn more about the mod on the project page or you can visit the forum to discuss ideas about the mod.
The BG1NPC Project v17 for Tutu and BGT Released
The BG1NPC Project for Tutu and BGT reaches v17. Available in English and Spanish, with packages for Windows, OSX, and Linux, this version ships with WeiDU v210.

BG2 Fixpack v7 Released
The BG2 Fixpack is a WeiDU compilation of fixes for Baldur's Gate II. With the disappearance of Kevin Dorner and the cessation of activity of the Baldurdash fixpack for BG2, several modders form many modding communities began working on a new WeiDU fixpack to address the numerous bugs that have been identified since Baldurdash. This collaborative effort, including the work of modders from several different modding communities, has resulted in a fixpack that currently includes all of the fixes addressed by Baldurdash (including the Game Text Update) and several hundred new bugfixes. Version 7 is a "maintenance" update, incorporating the contents of the 6.1 hotfix, various updates to that hotfix provided by the community, and updated German and Spanish translations. The Fixpack is available from the downloads page or you can browse the readme. You can learn more about the mod (including complete documentation of the bugs fixed) from the project page and the Fixpack forums.
Version 2 of The Wheels of Prophecy released
The Wheels of Prophecy is a new mod for Baldur's Gate II by DavidW, author of Sword Coast Stratagems I and II. The mod adds new content, dialog and roleplaying options to the Throne of Bhaal expansion. It makes only minor changes to the main storyline but allows the player to interact with that storyline in a much more non-linear way. Version 2 contains many bugfixes and hopefully sorts out the various issues with some paths in version 1.
Wheels of Prophecy v2 is an open beta, and is available on the downloads page. You can read about it on its Project page, and give your feedback at the Wheels of Prophecy forum.
A New Mod: Full Plate and Packing Steel, v1
With a new tweak mod, erik delivers a rework of the armour system of BG2, IWD and BG1Tutu, and a small collection of tweaks, dependent or not. In the standard armour system, characters as agile and sprightly in full plate as in light leather armour. Heavy armour helps not one bit if a goblin happens to hit you in the chest with a bent butterknife. You get hurt just as bad as the random unarmoured commoner. In his rework, light, enchanted armours actually help you dodge and take a bit of the sting out. Heavy, enchanted armours don't help dodging much. But they absorb perhaps half or more of the blow in exchange for slowing you down. Armour spells and potions are modified to match the systematic changes.

You can learn more on the project page or readme, or you can participate in the Full Plate forum. The mod is available on the downloads page.
Sarah NPC v2 (beta) Now Available
theacefes (and Skooter) wish everyone a happy holiday season with the release of Sarah v2 (beta). Sarah is a shy, young, and independent ranger who was born in the slums of Baldur's Gate. She admits to loving nature more than people, but then again, perhaps she just hasn't found the right person yet. You can find Sarah in the northeastern section of the Umar Hills region (AR1100) when you add her to your Baldur's gate II - SoA or ToB game. Version 2 features all new ToB content, WeiDU update, and versions for Windows, OS X, and Linux. You can learn more on the project page or readme, or you can participate in the Sarah forum.
