ronin69hof Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Congrats, its nice to see this still being worked on. Link to comment
Miloch Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Wow, there's a lot more content here than I thought. If you want, I can do a test run and check Tutu-compatibility too... probably not for another couple weeks though. From the looks of it, most of the content should be potentially compatible, and you probably won't have to do a whole lot to make it so. Link to comment
Wounded_Lion Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Wow, there's a lot more content here than I thought.

From the looks of it, most of the content should be potentially compatible, and you probably won't have to do a whole lot to make it so. If you have the time and energy, that'd be great! Most of the mod content consists of tweaks to allow me to play the game as I want to play it. I need to make a few small adjustments here and there (add a few BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES once I figure out where to place them in some of the more complicated operations), but the tweaks seem to be working properly so far. The quest content (both released and forthcoming) is obviously irrelevant to Tutu (though I need to find a way to check for Tutu and disallow installation of BG2-specific components). When I have a bit of time, I'm going to download the newest EasyTutu and experiment a bit. Anyway, any testing that you can do would be greatly appreciated! @Everyone: Thanks for the support! aWL Link to comment
Miloch Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I need to find a way to check for Tutu and disallow installation of BG2-specific componentsThat's pretty easy. I use ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~fw0125.are~ THEN BEGIN for Tutu-specific stuff. Or you can reverse it as ACTION_IF NOT(FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~fw0125.are~) THEN BEGIN for stuff that shouldn't be installed on Tutu. Link to comment
Wounded_Lion Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 A new version of Morrow Gate is available! Version 0.9 can be downloaded from my Yahoo! group immediately and will be available from the usual mirrors soon. See: http://forums.rpgdungeon.net/index.php?act...post;board=49.0 for details. aWL EDIT: updated Link to comment
Miloch Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Cool progress. If I haven't looked at this for Tutu by the first week of May or so, remind me. I have a tendency to get scatterbrained (really the only reason for the links in my sig is not to advertise anything, but to remind myself what I'm working on). Link to comment

Wounded_Lion Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Morrow Gate 1.0 will not be ready for release for some time. However, hot updates will be made available at my Yahoo! group and described in this thread: http://forums.rpgdungeon.net/index.php/topic,1431.0.html as new components and revised components are completed. Hot update 9A is now available. aWL Link to comment

Wounded_Lion Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Morrow Gate v9D is available now from my Yahoo! group and will be available soon from the usual mirrors. http://forums.rpgdungeon.net/index.php?act...post;board=49.0 aWL /------------------------------------------------------- XXX Morrow Gate 0.9D XXX ------ \------------------------------------------------- Morrow Gate is designed for systems having BGII - SOA and TOB, the official TOB patch 26498, and either the Baldurdash fixpack OR the G3 Fixpack installed. It should be compatible with most other WeiDU mods. It is likely best to install Morrow Gate AFTER all other mods, or as close to last in the install order as possible (as is the case with most tweak packs). Please direct any questions or comments to: aWoundedLion@yahoo.com /------------------------------------------------- --- COMBINABLE PROTECTION ITEMS --- \------------------------------------------------- This component allows 'protection items' to be used together in any combination and with magical armors. /------------------------------------------------- --- TRUECLASS RANGER ALIGNMENT REVISIONS --- \------------------------------------------------- This component allows players to create trueclass Rangers of any alignment (this does not extend to Ranger kits). Fallen Rangers now retain and continue to gain abilities. /------------------------------------------------- --- FALLEN RANGER NAME REVISION --- \------------------------------------------------- This component renames Fallen Rangers to either Rangers or Dark Rangers (player choice). /------------------------------------------------- --- REVISED ITEM PRICING IN STORES --- \------------------------------------------------- This component nullifies the effect of reputation on item prices. To clarify, reputation does *NOT* affect the price of items in shops under this component. Item pricing becomes a function of Charisma. STANDARD SCALE: CHARISMA DISCOUNT 11 5% 12 10% 13 15% 14 20% 15 25% 16 30% 17 35% 18 40% 19 45% 20 50% 21 55% 22 60% 23 65% 24 70% 25 75% DIFFICULT SCALE: CHARISMA DISCOUNT 13 1% 14 3% 15 5% 16 7% 17 9% 18 11% 19 13% 20 15% 21 17% 22 19% 23 21% 24 23% 25 25% /------------------------------------------------- --- REVISED RING OF HUMAN INFLUENCE --- \------------------------------------------------- The Ring of Human Influence renders the Charisma attribute almost non-functional in BG2 by allowing essentially any character that wishes to complete the relatively short and easy Circus quest to have a Charisma of 18. This component revises the RoHI to grant a +5 bonus to Charisma, simultaneously reducing its 'cheat value' and rendering the item useful to characters already possessing a Charisma of 18. Neat, huh? /------------------------------------------------- --- CURE SPELL REVISIONS --- \------------------------------------------------- This component revises cure spells to scale with caster level. Cure Light Wounds (Lv1) Lv1: 8 HP Lv8: 16 HP Lv16: 24 HP Good Berries (Lv2) Lv1: 1 handful of berries Lv8: 2 handful of berries Lv16: 3 handful of berries *Each handful of berries heals 12 HP Cure Medium Wounds (Lv3) Lv1: 16 HP Lv8: 24 HP Lv16: 32 HP Cure Serious Wounds (Lv4) Lv1: 24 HP Lv8: 32 HP Lv16: 40 HP Cure Critical Wounds (Lv5) Lv1: 32 HP Lv8: 40 HP Lv16: 48 HP /------------------------------------------------- --- BREACH AND IRON SKINS REVISIONS --- \------------------------------------------------- This component allows Breach to remove Iron Skins and affect Rakshasa creatures. If you are using Sword Coast Stategems II, install its similar component instead. /------------------------------------------------- --- COMPOSITE LONG BOW STRENGTH REQUIREMENT REVISION --- \------------------------------------------------- This component reduces the minimum strength required to use composite long bows (including those added by mods) from 18 to 15. Strong Arm +2 is unaffected and retains its strength requirement of 19. /------------------------------------------------- --- CLERIC REVISION: GOOD-ALIGNED CLERICS FALL AT LOW REPUTATIONS --- \------------------------------------------------- Under this component, Good-aligned Clerics will fall at a reputation of eight. All spellcasting and divine abilites are lost. /------------------------------------------------- --- TRUECLASS PALADIN ALIGNMENT REVISIONS --- \------------------------------------------------- This component allows players to create trueclass Paladins of any alignment (this does not extend to Paladin kits). Fallen Paladins now retain and continue to gain abilities. Note: A character must commit an evil act (theft, murder, etc) to become a Fallen Paladin. /------------------------------------------------- --- FALLEN PALADINS GAIN OPPOSITE ABILITIES --- \------------------------------------------------- * SPELLS COURTESY OF CAMDAWG AND DIVINE REMIX * This component causes Fallen Paladins to gain Detect Good instead of Detect Evil and to gain Protection From Good instead of Protection From Evil. Three new spells (Detect Good, Protection From Good, and Protection From Good 10' Radius) are added to Fallen Paladins' spellbooks. Note: A character must commit an evil act (theft, murder, etc) to become a Fallen Paladin and gain the new spells. Note: Visit http://www.gibberlings3.net/ -> The home of Divine Remix and other great mods! /------------------------------------------------- --- FALLEN PALADIN NAME REVISION --- \------------------------------------------------- This component renames Fallen Paladins to Paladins, Dark Paladins, or Blackguards (player choice). Note: A character must commit an evil act (theft, murder, etc) to become a Fallen Paladin. /------------------------------------------------- --- EXPANDED WEAPON PROFICIENCIES FOR MONKS --- \------------------------------------------------- This component allows Monks to use bastard swords, axes, warhammers, flails, and maces. Monks are now able to place up to five proficiency points into any allowed weapon. Monks now begin with four proficiency points at the first level and gain additional proficiency points every three levels. Monks are now able to place up to two proficiency points into Single Weapon Style. Monks now roll D10 for hit points instead of D8. /------------------------------------------------- --- SHAPESHIFTER REBALANCING REBALANCED --- \------------------------------------------------- SRR is an altered version of Westley Weimer's Shapeshifter Rebalancing (available in Ease of Use and BG2 Tweaks). This component is based on code shamelessly stolen from BG2 Tweaks (available at http://www.gibberlings3.net/). Adjustments: - Both paw items now use a wolf paw icon instead of a bear claw icon. - Immunity to normal weapons has been removed from lesser werewolf paw item. - The greater werewolf paw item has been moved from Lv13 to Lv15 - Regeneration has been reduced from 3 HP per second to 1 HP per second for the greater werewolf paw item. - Damage has been reduced from 1D12 to 1D10 for the lesser werewolf paw item. - Damage has been reduced from 2D8 to 2D6 for the greater werewolf paw item. - Elemental resistances have been reduced from 50% to 25% for the greater werewolf paw item. - The annoying form-change animation has been removed from both paw items. - The Shapeshifter kit description is updated to reflect SRR changes (SR did not update the description) - A bug in the stolen G3 code has been fixed; the description for Conjure Animals is now applied to the correct offset. 90% credit: Westley Weimer, creator of the original SR 5% credit: G3, for slightly modernized code 5% credit: Me, for fixing the bug in the G3 code and adjusting SR for playability I doubt that anyone should mind my appropriating this component. However, if someone wishes to voice any such complaints to me, or to report bugs with this component (bug reports for SRR go to me, NOT Weimer, NOT G3), feel free to e-mail me (awoundedlion@yahoo.com). SRR shapeshifters are (despite my adjustments) very powerful but (hopefully) somewhat more balanced. /------------------------------------------------- --- ARCANE ARCHER FIGHTER KIT --- \------------------------------------------------- The Arcane Archer is a warrior skilled in using magic to supplement his or her combat prowess. Master of the bow and student of magic, the Archer is an arrowsmith of the highest calibur. The Archer's sharp eyes and enhanced vision are not easily decieved by hostile illusions. ADVANTAGES +1 DEX Called Shot at Lv4, Lv8, and Lv12 Spells (once per day): Lv1 Infravision Lv2 Armor Lv5 Detect Illusion Lv6 Protection From Normal Missiles Lv9 Oracle Lv10 Breach Lv13 True Sight Lv14 Physical Mirror Craft Arrows (once per day): Lv1 10 Arrows Lv3 10 Arrows of Ice Lv4 10 Arrows of Fire Lv6 10 Arrows +1 Lv7 10 Arrows of Acid Lv9 3 Arrows of Dispelling Lv11 10 Arrows +2 Lv13 3 Arrows of Detonation Lv15 10 Arrows +3 Lv17 1 Arrow of Slaying (Humanoid) DISADVANTAGES May not wear armor greater than studded leather May not place more than one proficiency point into any melee weapon /------------------------------------------------- --- HELLION FIGHTER KIT --- \------------------------------------------------- The Hellion is a fierce warrior who honors the Dark Prince of the Hells. He or she respects strength, power, and cunning above all else. The Hellion is a student of the Black Arts and may summon Fiends to his side in battle (though these are apt to turn on the Hellion if he or she has not cast protective magics). ADVANTAGES Immune to Death Magic May cast Protection From Evil 10' Radius once per day per level May cast Banish once per day every four levels starting at Lv4 Lv12 May cast Death Spell once per day Lv14 May cast Cacofiend once per day Lv16 May cast Summon Fiend once per day Lv18 May cast Gate once per day Lv20 May cast Summon Dark Planetar once per day DISADVANTAGES May not be of a Good alignment May not Dual-Class except to Mage or Thief May not place more than three proficiency points into any bladed weapon May not place more than one proficiency point into any non-bladed weapon NOTES Banish Level: Special Range: 50 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 Summoned Fiend Saving Throw: None This spell banishes a summoned Fiend back to the Lower Planes. /------------------------------------------------- --- NATURAL SELECTION: DARKFRIEND DRUID KIT --- \------------------------------------------------- The Darkfriend Druid kit is fully compatible with Divine Remix (regardless of install order). DARKFRIEND: Darkfriends are Druids that have a special connection with creatures that most people think of as monsters. To a Darkfriend, a wyvern is just as natural as a wolf. Darkfriends often have poor repuations among cities, towns, and villages and are most at home in the deep woods. Some Darkfriends attempt to minimize conflict between certain monsters and civilization and to promote peaceful coexistence. Others work to preserve balance by stopping Great Hunts called against wyverns or spiders. Some aggressive Darkfriends promote the destruction of civilization and society and organize monsters to raze villages and towns. ADVANTAGES The following spells are added to the Darkfriend's spellbook: Charm Monsters at Lv5 Summon Spiders at Lv7 Wyvern Call at Lv9 DISADVANTAGES No Shapeshifting Abilities /------------------------------------------------- --- NATURAL SELECTION: DRUID ALIGNMENT REVISIONS --- \------------------------------------------------- Druids (and all Druid kits including those added by mods) may choose Neutral Good, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, or Neutral Evil as their alignment. /------------------------------------------------- --- NATURAL SELECTION: DRUID WEAPON PROFICIENCY REVISIONS --- \------------------------------------------------- Druids (and all Druid kits including those added by mods) may place one proficiency slot in both Shortbows and Longbows and up to two proficiency slots in Two Handed Style. Druids begin the game with one proficiency slot in Two Handed Style. /------------------------------------------------- --- NATURAL SELECTION: DRUIDS GAIN LV27 NATURE'S BLESSING WISDOM BONUS --- \------------------------------------------------- Druids (and all Druid kits including those added by mods) gain Nature's Blessing (+2 Wisdom bonus) at Level 27. /------------------------------------------------- --- NATURAL SELECTION: NEW DRUID SPELLS --- \------------------------------------------------- Druids (and all Druid kits including those added by mods) gain two restoration spells that render the class a viable alternative to the Cleric. Also, two improved charm spells strengthen the Druid's arsenal ('Charm Person or Mammal' is WEAK). /------------------------------------------------- --- CLERICS AND DRUIDS GAIN BREACH SPELL --- \------------------------------------------------- This component adds Breach to the spellbook of trueclass Clerics and Druids, Cleric kits, and Druid kits. /------------------------------------------------- --- DRUIDS AND RANGERS GAIN FIND FAMILIAR ABILITY --- \------------------------------------------------- This component adds the Find Familiar ability to trueclass Druids and Rangers, Druid kits, and Ranger kits. /------------------------------------------------- --- REVISED AMNIAN GUARDSMEN --- \------------------------------------------------- Under a default game installation, Amnian guardsmen (triggered by proximity traps in the Docks, Slums, Bridge District, and Waukeen's Promenade areas) attempt to execute the player party when its reputation reaches 3. The player party has no choice but to fight. Under this component, Amnian guardsmen (via the same proximity traps) detain the player party when its reputation reaches 4. The player party can bribe, fight, or pay a restitution fee to the guardsmen. A bribe buys the party freedom from harassment for at least one day. A restitution fee restores the party's reputation to 5. REPUTATION RESTITUTION FEE CHARISMA & GOLD TO BRIBE 4 250 Gold 16 CHR + 25 Gold 3 500 Gold 17 CHR + 50 Gold 2 750 Gold 18 CHR + 75 Gold 1 1000 Gold 19 CHR + 100 Gold /------------------------------------------------- --- (BETA) BETTER BUSINESS: KALAH --- \------------------------------------------------- Kalah's Tower Stronghold for Evil Protagonists + Tower Guardian Stronghold Quest Link to comment
Miloch Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Bah. Just as soon as I download one of your hotfixes, you have another . I plan on testing this in Tutu in another week or so. Are you going to be doing more updates before then, or is this it for a while? Also, it'd be convenient to have download links right in the post rather than jumping around through RPGD, Yahoo, etc. I can't even find my own bookmarks half the time (grumble). Link to comment
Wounded_Lion Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Bah. Just as soon as I download one of your hotfixes, you have another . I plan on testing this in Tutu in another week or so. Are you going to be doing more updates before then, or is this it for a while? LOL. I've been playing BG2 with the intention of writing for Pai'Na as I complete each quest. But I kept thinking "This could be better..." (probably a result of playing Fallout and Morrowind immediately beforehand). Then I got to thinking, why not update and include the Arcane Archer and Hellion... And so on and so forth. This should be it for a while. RL is keeping me busy of late (to the point that I haven't even been keeping up with the forums). Plus, this release successfully obsoletes and replaces all of my major mods (Natural Selection, Twist Pack, Arcane Archer, Hellion), so I've accomplished a major goal that I set for myself and can take a break. On the very small chance that anyone is wondering, the Hivemaster and Wolf Lord (my remaining BG2 mods) may be incoporated into Morrow Gate at a later date. But it'll be a while, as I've other things to focus upon (after years of inept and inefficient management, the "leaders" of the company that I work for have lost our contract... urg... Got to find a new job or insinuate myself with the new company... thankfully I've got a few months warning, tho). Also, it'd be convenient to have download links right in the post rather than jumping around through RPGD, Yahoo, etc. I can't even find my own bookmarks half the time (grumble). Yeah, I removed the links in this thread (and other announcement threads) so I can save time and update only the RPGD download thread (it's stickied on my forum, and you don't have to have an account to access it). aWL Link to comment
Wounded_Lion Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 The good news: In an effort to spare Miloch a bit of work, I downloaded and installed the latest Tutu. All relevant Morrow Gate components seem to install and function without issue. The Arcane Archer component in particular is well suited to Tutu (I had a lot of fun playing the kit). The bad news: I won't be doing any extensive testing because I fell victim to the Tutu Beregost bug (corrupt savegames in Beregost under Tutu; BOTH my quicksave and last autosave were corrupted... ). I have a pre-Beregost save, but the experience jaded me on working with Tutu (and I'd rather not replay the hour and half that I spent in Beregost on the hope of not encountering the bug the second time around). So... take that as you will. Morrow Gate should play nicely with Tutu should you desire to use them together. aWL Link to comment
