Skye Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Free a powerful warlock from his imprisonment and venture with him on a quest to find the lost Nether Scrolls. Discover a new way of unleashing arcane energies with a brand new thief kit: The Warlock. Quickly travel vast distances across the Plane of Shadow if you dare to brave its desolate environs. Relax and store your equipment in a planar safe haven. Unlock new features and forge alliances in this astral stronghold. Brew potions and craft powerful artifacts to enhance your strength and devastate your enemies. Introduction: Ayden is a mysterious warlock that's been magically imprisoned on another plane for decades. You will originally encounter him in Ulcaster Ruins, struggling to find his way back to the prime material plane. Should you help him, he will become a loyal companion and friend to you and will open up a world of new opportunities. Over time, you will get to know many things about him, his past, and the place he comes from, which will affect your actions and perhaps even the way you perceive the world around you. Where will the road ultimately lead you as you approach godhood on your quest? Who will you put your trust in? What to expect: A new thief kit: The Warlock. It comes with its own set of custom abilities and an AI script for convenience. A fully-fleshed out companion NPC that uses the new kit and will interact with you and the world around him. The ability to quickly move to any major area through the Plane of Shadow. Your very own pocket plane that will serve as a stronghold and staging area for your adventures. Several brand new areas and quests (with more on the way). More than 30 new (or familiar) enemies and a handful of new allies. A simple crafting system that will allow you to more easily acquire the gear you need. A number of new items, some for crafting purposes, others for fun. A couple of additional convenience components to make thief classes more fun. Known Issues in v2.6.19: One of the script actions is missing a parameter, emitting a warning. Ayden may lose his ability to ignore reputation breaking points Invocations may disappear from a warlock's repertoire if they are killed during cooldown. Some of Ayden's comments may pop up instantly upon recruiting him if the preconditions have been met, even if he was not in the party at that time.

ahungry Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Looks cool - I'm installing it on my new EET setup (although I noticed your More Info says incompatible). Seemed to install fine, so I guess I'll see what breaks Quote Link to comment

Neither of us has bothered testing it on EET yet since that's a low priority ticket. That said, any reports of what does or doesn't work on EET will help us a lot when we start working on compatibility, so feel free to experiment. Quote Link to comment

In any case: if the mod is not explicitely EET compatible probably all area references are wrong (amongst other things). The reason it didn't give an error message is that it patched the BGII ressources, instead. Quote Link to comment

That is almost certainly the case and the mod relies quite heavily on existing areas being how they are in the original game, so who knows what exactly happened. There's probably a random cauldron in the middle of Brynnlaw and whatnot. Quote Link to comment
Skye Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 We'll keep track of known issues in the top post to reduce the amount of redundant reports. Ones that are striked out are fixed for the next release. Quote Link to comment
