Austin Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Mod version has been updated! The number remains the same (1.8), but important changes have been made. Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sx6pketmg09igwa/Saradas%20Magic%202%20%281.8%29.rar?dl=0 Changelog: Spoiler CHANGELOG: v_1.8 - The mod is completely tra-ified - Added EET-compatibility: added adaptation of «chapter» variables in TP2 in case of installation on EET added the EET_TRANSITION function - The file structure is put in order (now everything is not in one folder, but is divided into subfolders). File paths changed in TP2 file, which are now located in different folders depending on the file type - Added iconv-transcoder for installation on different versions of the game with different languages (in case of future translation), the LAF HANDLE_CHARSETS function was added to TP2 to launch it - The «COPY ~saradas_magic_2\eff\!Stun.eff~ ~override~» command has been added to the TP2 file, which allows you to add the !Stun.eff file to the game, which was added in version 1.7 - Updated version of WeiDU-installer - Added an option to set an alternate appearance for Saradas (as a mage, not a monk). Added due to the fact that the monk does not have a paperdoll on the inventory screen and some players asked to add this option - Added full compatibility with "vanilla" (non-EE) version of the game: Added adaptation of WILDMAGE and DRAGON_DISCIPLE kits, as well as WIZARD_IMPROVED_ALACRITY spell for the vanilla version of the game. Corresponding changes have been made to the TP2-file and the !SARADAS.d and !Scut01.baf files Added a command to TP2 that adds the dir.ids file to the game when a vanilla version of the game is found (since it is absent in it, and the mod will not be installed without it) Added different size options for portraits (for the EE version of the game and for the classic version of the game) Edited June 11, 2021 by Austin Quote Link to comment

I've added a message and updated the first topic in the thread to link to your post above. If you release any future updates to the mod, you'll be able to update your post to include the new information and download link. Quote Link to comment
Endarire Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Also, preferably update the Spellhold Studios mod entry with a link to the GitHub repository saying the GitHub version is newest! Quote Link to comment
Endarire Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 @jastey Austin asked me to ask you to update the official SHS entry for Saradas Magic II with the latest file(s) from this thread on SHSForums.net and GitHub. Thankee! Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately, he hasn't been online since 2015, and his profile email is not listed. But the content of the mod has not changed, the edits are technical, so I don't think he will mind. The only non-technical addition that I made was the optional component of alternative animation (I wrote the reason above) Quote Link to comment
Saradas Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Greetings. I'm the author of the mod. Greg asked me to improve the compatibility of the mod, unfortunately my free time is quite limited nowadays, so I could not do as asked. I give my consent to tweak the compatibility of this mod, to keep it alive for those who still enjoy the game, as long as the credit to my work is showed Merry Christmas to everyone!

Endarire Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 @jastey Does this mean the latest Saradas Magic II mod version can be put on Spellhold Studios GitHub? Thankee! Quote Link to comment
Gwendolyne Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The mod has been officially updated to v2.0.0 with native BG2-ToB backward compatibility. Quote Link to comment
Endarire Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 @Saradas Merry Christmas - in July! Quote Link to comment
Cahir Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) @Gwendolyne@Austin do you plan to update also Saradas Magic (for BGEE)? : http://www.shsforums.net/topic/58027-saradas-magic-v-11/?hl=saradas+magic Edited July 24, 2021 by Cahir Quote Link to comment
Gwendolyne Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 @CahirI don't have time for this. Maintaining mods at SHS eats all my time, and I have not been able to write a single line of code for myself for almost two years. But, in my mind, this mod is like Isra NPC. Both deserve to be merged into one single mod that would install content according to the game you are playing. However, it needs a lot of work, much more than a simple update. Anyway, I will spend the next couple of weeks finalizing Infinity Animation update, then converting the first chapters of my own mod to EE games. Quote Link to comment
