Three new cosmetic NPC tweaks

[Ardanis]

These are bits from my personal tweakpack.

 

 

Elf Imoen - I don't like armorless female human thief animation. And as Imoen mentions herself, she's small framed.

 

Also it's funny how Jaheira in BG1 has a blonde avatar and dark-haired portrait, and in BG2 - dark-haired avatar and blonde portrait. Repeat for skin's color...

Same for Imoen, back to purple.

Ardanis, these are for BGII with ToB, right? You could switch this over to

 

ACTION_FOR_EACH ~crefile~ IN

 

<<list of .cre >>

 

BEGIN

 

ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~%crefile%~ THEN BEGIN

 

 

and then you would be able to use it on both SoA-only and ToB installs no problem.

[Ardanis]

Sorry, completely forgot about that. Dealing with different platforms is certainly not in my blood...

[Dermit]

Thanks, specially for #2, I've been changing that manually for some time now.

[cmorgan]

I would love it if someday we get rid of ALLOW_MISSING completely, and just use this stuff. It was important and necessary back in the day, but those 0 byte placeholders now can wreak havok on some things.

 

(And thanks, too - I like the continuity!)
