CamDawg Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The BG2 Tweak Pack is a WeiDU compilation of fixes, cosmetic changes, and tweaks. Some of these were fan requests, others are needed fixes, and others simply make dealing with the more irritating aspects of the game engine easier. Each component can be installed separately so the player can pick and choose only which ones they wish to install. This mod works on normal Baldur's Gate II games as well as either of the two Baldur's Gate conversion projects, BG1Tutu (Tutu) and Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT). This mod includes and deprecates several other mods: the G3 Tweak Pack, the Tutu Tweak Pack, and Wes Weimer's Ease of Use mod. Beta Notes I'm designating this a beta simply because I haven't had the time to do my usual batch of testing. In particular, the next components and components adapted from Ease of Use are not tested as thoroughly as I would like. In addition, I've yet to identify issues with NWN-style HPs, though there have been a few bug reports for them.

Lord Ernie Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Nice to hear it's out, yeah. One question, though: the Readme mentions that the Faster Cutscene component still has compatibility issues with Tashia and Nalia (or indeed, any mod that would alter Player1D.bcs). Haven't you removed this, as we discussed on IRC? Link to comment

Haven't you removed this, as we discussed on IRC? Argh. Yes, the dream script is now patched instead of overwritten, which makes it compatible with Tashia (and I'm assuming Nalia). I just forgot to update the readme. Link to comment
Salk Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Good news on this, CamDawg! Can we now safely assume that TuTu Tweaks and G3 Tweak Pack will no longer be updated and are to be conisdered obsolete ? Eventually it would be good to just remove them from the released Mods to avoid confusion and duplications. Good job! Link to comment

Once I'm convinced there are no game-crushing bugs and it's out of beta, that's what I was planning to do. Link to comment
