...And to 5.1 which fixes an install warning on SoD: Grey should now walk with the group in all of the SoD end cutscenes. This was not a critical bug so you only need to update for cosmetics.

The mod updates to v7.1:

-Russian version now has correct text format.

[scheele]

greypc_clicktalk.d
IF ~IsGabber(Player1)~ THEN BEGIN grey_clicktalk
SAY ~(Grey turns his head to you.) Woof!~

this part is not in tra; therefore, in the Russian text it appears in English.

Oh, I missed that wehn traify-ing. All text that appear in BG1 should be in the tras. Will be corrected in the next update and be @84.

I've been lurking around these sites for years. I've played the game almost from the beginning and I'm a huge fan of your work. That being said, in the next month or so, I'm planning a "Jastey Run" through a big EET install. I'll be using your mods and characters and many of the ones you have contributed to. Sooooo, I was wondering if you thought of giving Grey a little more survivability in SoA and ToB. It really wouldn't need much. After all, dialogue doesn't really require anything else, "WOOF!" A quest would be nice but what is really needed is just a little more attack and defense since he can't use standard items. Really just a +3 weapon in SoA and +4 in ToB and maybe a little armor buff and he is good to go for the whole series.

Any way, just hoping. Love your work! You're amazing! Thanks for all you do.

[jastey]

@J Beau Thank you for the super kind words! I feel honored.

Unfotunately, I am at modding SoD currently - BGII will come after that, so it will take a little while until I come to making +3/+4 weapons for CHARNAME's most favorite dog companion.

EDIT: Anyone reading this and being familiar with NI knock yourself out though, maybe it's sufficient to just copy the existing teeth enforcer itm files and change the enchantment a little.

Grey the Dog updates to v9!

The new version comes with a new default portrait by @Acifer, with many thanks!

Translations are still needed.

Changelog:

-SoD content completed.
-new default portrait added, by Acifer.
-2 new components: Crossmod, alternate portraits.
-7th PMM mode improved.
-Minor bugfixes.

I'm glad to see the update!  Are there any new items for Grey?

One thing I have noticed in EET, when you get Grey back in BG2 he has lost a lot of items with no real way to replace them.
