Great, btw if the flavor text on the start screen is the only thing standing between me and EET 1.0 .. I can totally live with the current text.

final update on the EET start screen implementation. To make the design the same between BG2:EE and SoD GUI, which are both now supported by EET, the campaign selection screen has been converted to pop up window instead of separate screen. The game will never show it up after starting the game. Last campaign selected is saved within baldur.lua file and the game will go right into this screen after starting the game (of course using art depending on which campaign is selected):

BG2:EE GUI:

SoD GUI:

 

The startscreen shows up after clicking on the "Select campaign" button:

SoD GUI:

Looks good though now the book graphic used for the campaign selection looks maybe a bit out of place compared to the more "crips" and modern UI elements on the start screen.

I would really like to see a form of the Big Letters: Baldur's Gate Trilogy return.

 

This mod is fundamentally changing the game (for the better!). Don't underestimate the emotional impact of seeing a new UI with new text. It's fine and good to allow existing UIs, but a new Baldur's Gate Trilogy Screen with text is very recommended.

Perhaps something like this

 

[Bill Bisco]

Yes, and also like the screenshots in the original posts. There were a few good UIs for the original BGT. It might be good to take a look at them for inspiration.

They've done some really cool things with start screens and the UI which seems similar to what you might be looking for.

That DOES look nice, imo!

Pecca is quite prolific modder so in my opinion it's just a matter of time when he will convert this mod into EET.
