IWD 1 - switch off weapon restrictions?

[Guest Retro]

Hi Folks!

 

Hopefully questions like the following are allowed in this forum. I tried a lot of forum-searchs and of course all-mighty Google but without success. Okay, here it comes:

 

Is there any way to switch-off (by editing a file, using editors, whatever) weapon restrictions in IWD 1? I know, it would be kind of cheating but because of the 3. editions it strikes me like an outdated style of playing... (it would be so nice to have a cleric with a nice crossbow. A fighter/cleric-tank using slings? Come on....)

 

If anybody could give my a hint or link or even could explain me how to do it (if it can be done) I would be really grateful

 

Thanks in advance

If it is just a few items, you better change the usability flags of the item.

This works just like in bg2.

If you're looking for a mod to do it, I believe igi's iiTweak does this, but I can not find a link to it on his site. If you're looking to do it yourself, as Avenger says, it's just a matter of writing a quick patch to remove all usability flags from items.

Thank you so much!

 

Actually I also wasn´t able to find Igi´s Tweak. But by clinking on nearly every link given by Google from this search I found a "hidden" network of modders which lead me eventually to this page:

The tweak "Icewind Dale Improvements" is exactly what I was looking for. Without you I would never have found it, because as I said, I already tried serveral searches on this matter.

 

So, thanks again for the nearly instant answers.

 

Now, evil really has to be afraid in the Icewind Dales !!!
