Beelzenomen Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have thoroughly enjoyed the BG1 NPC Project. I am also fairly sentimental. I want to bring some of the items from BG1 NPC Project with my character into BGII. I have a vague sense that if I find the items' .itm files that I can simply drop them into the override folder within BGII and if they are on my imported character, I'll have them. Am I correct in this? I'm specifically wanting to bring over the locket Imoen made, Dynaheir's portrait of my character, and (while not exactly BG1 NPC Project), one of the spare books from Finch, who was kind enough to have two left over after creating the library. My second question is: Edited: Nevermind. I figured out how to use Shadowkeeper to get the file names for the items and I can find them from that. I believe that I'll have to create a new item for the locket (based upon another thread I read which indicated that if I try to import the locket it changes all protection amulets in BGII into Gorion's Lockets) and I believe I may be up to learning how to do that (I went and found some tutorials about item creation). I know that except for the locket these are essentially "useless" items. But still, I think that having them within the next game will enhance it for me (and help me remember Dynaheir. *sniff*). Thanks so much! Link to comment
Domi Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 You can just drop them in your Override, and use the CreateItem console command to clua them in. They should be fine. I don't think you will need to re-do Imoen's item. If it has effects on it, just copy everything you have in your BG1NPC/itm folder over, and it should work just fine. Link to comment

You'll get the item, but the strings for the name and description will either point to the wrong strings or be non-existent. Link to comment
Domi Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Well, he can probably tweak a TP2 from any mod he uses all the time to add the descriptors in via COPY_EXISTING Link to comment
cmorgan Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 OK. Some of these use BG2 references, so there should be no problem (they are created on the fly); others of these are not quite so easily done. I think you can use this (but it is untested - if it doesn't work/instyall/whatever, come back and we can clean up my mess make it work). Apologies to Bons if this is Not Cool, but since it is about lovin' the character and is a non-functioning item, I am pretty sure any modder would consider it a compliment to have a player want to keep this stuff in inventory. "Sentimental Items into BGII for Beelzenomen" On your desktop, create a folder named "sentimental". Inside that folder, create a second folder named "backup" Go to your game install folder, and copy setup-bg1npc.exe onto the desktop. Rename it setup-sentimental.exe Copy the following things from within the "bg1npc" folder and paste them into the "sentimental" folder (not into the backup folder, just along side it): X#IAMUL.itm (from BG1NPC/Phase1/ITM/ )X#WINAMU.itm (in BG1NPC/Phase2/ITM/ ) (all these following are in BG1NPC/Phase3/DYROM/ITM/ ) X#DYPORE.BAM X#DYPORE.itmX#DYPORF.BAMX#DYPORF.itmX#DYPORO.BAMX#DYPORO.itmX#DYPORR.BAMX#DYPORR.itm Go to your Finch folder, and find finch/items/sufbookB.itm; copy that item over into the folder "sentimental". Again in your Finch folder, find finch/graphics/SUFBOOKB.BAM; copy that over to "sentimental". Open Notepad or Wordpad or another editor (*NOT* MS WORD) and copy the code below into the blank page. Save the newly formed file as "sentimental.tp2", in the folder "sentimental" Move the .tp2, .exe, and folder to your BGII game directory install/uninstall as usual. When you are in game, you can then CLUAConsole any of the following items into place: /* Lord foreshadow's Ring of Human Influence CLUAConsole:CreateItem("X#RINGRO") */ /* Imoen's Pendant to <CHARNAME> CLUAConsole:CreateItem("X#IAMUL") */ /* Dynaheir's Journal page CLUAConsole:CreateItem("X#DYJOR1") */ /* Dynaheir's Journal CLUAConsole:CreateItem("X#DYJOR2") */ /* Winksi's Protection Amulet CLUAConsole:CreateItem("X#WINAMU") */ /* Dynaheir's Four Possible Portraits X#DYPORE X#DYPORF X#DYPORO X#DYPORR */ /* Finch's Joy of Pudding CLUAConsole:CreateItem("sufbookB") */ If an item shows up with odd graphics, there are some quick code fixes, but this should get you started. Sorry - no time to test it, but let me know if something doesn't work Code to copy/paste into the editor for the .tp2: /* * Sentimental Items into BGII for Beelzenomen * October 18, 2007 */ /* Backup folder */ BACKUP ~sentimental/backup~ /* Author */ AUTHOR ~The BG1 NPC Project Team: forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showforum=45~ BEGIN ~Sentimental Items into BGII for Beelzenomen~ /* items */ /* Ring of Human Influence X#RINGRO */ COPY_EXISTING ~RING30.itm~ ~override/X#RINGRO.itm~ SAY NAME1 ~Ring~ SAY NAME2 ~Lord Foreshadow's Ring of Human Influence~ SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC ~A ring is a small band of precious metal that is used as jewelry.

Stir custard constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly or angry wyverns show up for supper. (Do not offer them a portion.) Strain custard if desired. (Picky, picky.) Cool by placing pan in cool water. (If water not in season, the author humbly suggests that the cook has bigger problems than making the perfect pudding and should stop mucking around with turnips and wyverns.) In a separate bowl, whip until stiff: 3/4 cup whipping cream Add: 1 teaspoon vanilla Fold the cold turnip custard into the whipped cream mixture. Chill thoroughly before serving.

cmorgan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Strange - oh, wait. Double check that you have followed the bigg's instructions on the Widescreen Mod very carefully - if I recall, it ships with a special customized version of WeiDU that is not intended for use as a general setup-mymod.exe. Perhaps the versions got intermixed on your install. Definitely flag down the bigg on that one; he will want to know Link to comment
Kitana Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 No, it seems it's my fault for being an idiot. - The mod requires a beta version of WeiDU (attached). Please install as first mod and do not use it in a stack operation. I installed it last instead of first. Whoops. Ah, well. The good news is that everything -seems- to be working fine with my install, so hopefully I haven't broken it too badly. Link to comment
