Looks promising. Can't wait to see the release ! 

Frankly, I love all those ideas ! And when reading your thoughts, I had the same ideas of breaking all TOB content into single areas. It's true that I was also very disappointed by the endgame content, and I agree that SOD brings a lot of stuff wich can be based to change and improve all of that.

I'm excited to see where this is going ! 

Thanks a lot for that, maybe i'll try to do the same for my personal modlist. 

Very interesting project. I'm curious about how you will handle those sets effects and the possibilities you'll discover !

It's been a long time since i played PST, but i do think this is a great idea. I remember having to manually do some of those saves to do another gameplay without having to restart from scratch. So that could come in handy.

I'd be pretty mad if someone cast Stinking Cloud near me.

Though, now I think about it, I do that to my wife often enough and she hasn't gone red-circle yet. So I guess not a bug.

oh geez i laughed so hard, you made my day 

@subtledoctor small typo in setup.tra line 183 -> May learn efats should be feats

Does the barbarian kit description got the new "berserking" name instead of "barbarian rage" ?

I pretty much agree with everything that has been said above. That could save a lot of reloads at low levels by adding versatility in those harsh low levels battles ! And if SCS behavior reacts appropriatly, that could be really interesting. 

Ok thanks, i understand my options now

Hi @subtledoctor you have both Evasion in the Feat system and in Scales of Balance ( for Thieves at 7th level), do you know wich one i should install ? or can i install both of them ?

Thanks, I was thinking to use IRR. I take it your version is not needed as a base then?

Yes but the mod is about upgrading the weapons to +4 versions or something...that's the part I was hoping would be possible, even if the respective mod's base version are different. But it's no big deal, I guess I'll exclude that small mod from the list.

Oh, i had forgotten that part ! It should be possible to make your personal patch for it if you know a little bit about weidu coding ? 

I can confirm it by just reading the item desc and comparing it to the original :

Really? I can't find any info on it in the readmes/forums, that's why I ask. If I put the sword mod after IR, do you think I would get the changes from both? (I have no idea how this works, if files are patched or overwritten, etc).

@Graion DilachThanks, edited now.

I'll check that when i go home, maybe it was Bartimaeus IRR version, as i play with both IR/IRR installed anyway.

I assume you mean Project Infinity.

Whoops, yes that's the one (i think i have too much been moddin in the past days ^^)

Just my 2 cents, but if i remember correctly, the mod "Haer'daelis sword" is already covered by "item revisions" ? At least, you should choose one or the other. 

Just for my personal interest. Are you using Near Infinitity to install your mod list ?

Hey @CamDawg i've seens that the files provided in /lib/unique_icons_bg.tpa and /lib/unique_icons_iwd.tpa have the exact same arrays of names, icons,  parameters etc. The bg part must have been overwritten by the iwd one ?

i'm so dumb, thank you for your answer !

Thank you for your quick answer. Can you be more specific about the dual and single  char suffixe ? That must be the reason why my voiceset does not appear.

Hello @Graion Dilach , i've tried to add my own personal voiceset using your tools (thanks a lot actually for that !). Everything is installed correctly, but the voiceset does not appear in my character selection screen. As i am working on a EET installation maybe that's why ? All files are installed correctly, the strings are correctly set and the file M_cdsnd.lua is also created (i have checked everything with near infinity). It's just that the name doesnot appear in the char slection screen. Do you have any insight on that one ?

Sorry for tagging you @kjeron, but in the readme, i think it was your tag that was highlighted. Sorry for the inconvenience then... do you know where i should report those bugs though ?

Hey @kjeron, i think i have found a small bug in component 2040 : "XP for Traps, Spells and Lockpicking" -> BG1 values. The Pick Locks line in the XPBONUS.2da table is at 15 xp at level 16 and after, where it should be 150 or 155 ? Also, it's not extended to level 50 if XP Cap removal is installed, i don't know if it can cause any problem ?

Yes I know; and in fact it is not used by Barkskin. This mod changes Barkskin to use the Stoneskin effect, blocking one attack each round by renewing a single stoneskin via repeating .EFF. Unfortunately, the Stoneskin effect is hard-coded to play that sound whenever the stoneskin expires. Which means that, for armor like this, the sound will drone on over and over, repeating every six seconds until you want to tear your ears off. It is quite annoying. There is no way to suppress it. So I had to balance the unpleasantness of hearing the sound repeatedly against the mild inconvenience of not hearing in in other circumstances. To me, the inconvenience is so slight as to be negligible. If I've got Blur, Free Action, Armor of Faith, and whatever other buffs on and they all expire at different times and they all play the same sound when they expire... then how useful is the sound in imparting information to me about which buff expired. Not very useful at all.

What I can do, is replicate that .WAV file and then patch any items and spells that explicitly use it in opcode 174, so they will still play the sound. But I cannot do anythign about other hard-coded instance of the sound; they will have to be sacrificed on the altar of MBGA.*

I understand now why it has to be done like this, thanks for that explanation !

Hi @subtledoctor,

the component 3040 "Add Revised Barkskin to 'Skin of the Forest' Armor", removes the EFF_E02.WAV sound by replacing it with a blank one. Would it be possible to only remove the sound from the source file instead of removing it from every spells and other ressources ?

Thanks for your time.

@CamDawg The link in the first post to download the file is broken

As i have already done that for my own personal game (a simply recolorization from the original artwork), i am completely ok for this idea !
