Game over on party death only?

Quote

• game is not over if protagonist dies (only if the whole party does)
  • in gemrb/GUIScripts/bg*/MessageWindow.py change protagonist mode from 1 to 2  (GemRB.GameSetProtagonistMode(2))

From GemRB Wiki. Is this fully implemented? I tried it, had no effect.

I think so, pst would be hard to play otherwise.

Oh hell, I had my GemRB versions confused, indeed it works Another thing - it would be cool if you could set that as an option in gemrb.cfg. What do you think?

 

EDIT: Actually, might be good practice. Works for BG1 & 2. Take a look here?

Nah, it would break pst. That's more something for gemrb.ini.

How does it affect PS:T? (If you don't mind my asking, just trying to understand). Anyway, this is such a great feature, the originals need mods to do it, and it's kind of "hidden away". Since it's a feature that players are interested in, and GemRB has it integrated already, I thought it might be good to put in a more "prominent place".

you set the default to off, that's how. gemrb.ini is still a prominent place, especially since it means gemrb-tweakpack can then do the modifying for you.

Only for BG though. PS:T resurrection of the Nameless guy still works. Ah, but forget it, was probably a stupid idea

Sorry for necro resurrection just happen to see this thread and I wanted to share my previous findings.

Cool, you adapted it! That's handy, if you don't want to mess with the GUI scripts or are downloading new versions frequently!
