Are they? I have no idea anymore, since I've been out of the IE modding scene for so long.

I know it's been a great long while since I've posted here, since finishing up Saerileth, our magnum opus, about three years ago. I am shutting down the site which hosts all our mods, so I was wondering if G3 would do us the honor of hosting Tsujatha, Saerileth, Yasraena, Kindrek, Biddekelorak, and Willie Bruce. If so, please contact me at gilalion (at) gmail (dot) com, since I might forget to check back here. Thanks so much!

I have made a one-hour NPC called Biddekelorak.... he's a dwarf. he's a single-classed priest of lathander. he, quite frankly, exists simply because I am sick of viconia and anomen. I'm hoping that someone would do me a big favor and voice the following lines.... SAY INITIAL_MEETING ~Yer name, <CHARNAME>, has already reached me ears. I be called Biddekelorak, and the road be calling to me!~ SAY MORALE ~Lathander, forgive me weakness!~ SAY HAPPY ~Our deeds be good and pleasing.~ SAY UNHAPPY_ANNOYED ~Amend yer ways.~ SAY UNHAPPY_SERIOUS ~Have a care! Yer falling into shadow.~ SAY UNHAPPY_BREAKING ~Darkness has taken ye!~ SAY LEADER ~As busy as a smith in spring!~ SAY TIRED ~Can't burn the candle at both ends.~ SAY BORED ~Here we shine our light under a bushel.~ SAY BATTLE_CRY1 ~Yaaaah!~ SAY BATTLE_CRY2 ~Glorious light!~ SAY BATTLE_CRY3 ~The battle be joined!~ SAY BATTLE_CRY4 ~Blood will flow!~ SAY BATTLE_CRY5 ~The dawn breaks!~ SAY DAMAGE ~*Uhh*~ SAY DYING ~Over me dead body!~ SAY HURT ~I near Lathander's brilliant threshold.~ SAY AREA_FOREST ~Never have to worry about the weather in a dwarven city.~ SAY AREA_CITY ~'Tis strange--no roof o' stone over me head.~ SAY AREA_DUNGEON ~The shadows hide much evil here. Lathander, shine forth!~ SAY AREA_DAY ~There be now light enough to see by.~ SAY AREA_NIGHT ~Would that it were day!~ SAY SELECT_COMMON1 ~I be here.~ SAY SELECT_COMMON2 ~What?~ SAY SELECT_COMMON3 ~Be there something ye need?~ SAY SELECT_COMMON4 ~Armed with his holy brilliance.~ SAY SELECT_COMMON5 ~I be here to serve.~ SAY SELECT_COMMON6 ~I wait upon Lathander's pleasure.~ SAY SELECT_ACTION1 ~Onward!~ SAY SELECT_ACTION2 ~We be hard as stone.~ SAY SELECT_ACTION3 ~If it be his will.~ SAY SELECT_ACTION4 ~Worry not.~ SAY SELECT_ACTION5 ~I be skilled at that.~ SAY SELECT_ACTION6 ~Old I be, yet old age has its value and duty.~ SAY SELECT_ACTION7 ~That light may shine in darkness.~ SAY REACT_TO_DIE_GENERAL ~No longer does the dark veil of this world cloud yer eyes.~ SAY SELECT_RARE1 ~The gods look after fools, children, and drunkards... humans usually count for two out of three.~ SAY SELECT_RARE2 ~Don't grab an elf by the ear.~ SAY CRITICAL_HIT ~Ha-haa!~ SAY CRITICAL_MISS ~Clangeddin's teeth!~ SAY TARGET_IMMUNE ~Invulnerable!~ SAY INVENTORY_FULL ~Ye've overloaded me old bones.~ SAY SPELL_DISRUPTED ~Lathander be not so easily thwarted!~ he is an old dwarf, so the voice should be appropriately gruff and gravely. if someone does it, please send the .ogg files zipped up to my email--gilalion @ gmail.com

thanks for the info, grim squeaker, but willie bruce, yasraena, and kindrek are *not* romanceable, and sillara has already posted about saerileth. so there ya go.

[CoM] Willie Bruce Mod (BG2) Author(s): nethrin Originally part of pocketplane's One-Day Bruceday, Willie Bruce is being expanded into a full-fledged mod. He is complete as is, so he is eligible for crossmod banters. Willie Bruce is drunk, racist, sexist, rude, and foul-mouthed. Add to all this humor and some of the funniest one-liners ever written for an NPC mod, and you have a very entertaining NPC. W.Bruce is easy-going and gets along with everyone, though he does occasionally take verbal jabs at people. (SOA/TOB NPC module, Released) Homepage Forum Added

[CoM] Kindrek Mod (BG2) Author(s): nethrin Kindrek is a wizard- and magic-hating chaotic evil berserker who is not native to Faerun. Kindrek kills (or attempts to kill) the PC for taking any single-classed wizard or sorcerer into the party, or if the PC dual-classes into a mage. He destroys any magical item put in his inventory. He will not tolerate the Cowled Wizards. (SOA/TOB NPC module, Released) Homepage Forum Added

Kindrek's files for SoA dialogues: KINDREK.d, BKINDREK.d, KINDREKJ.d scripts: KINDREK.baf, KINDREKD.baf for ToB dialogues: KINDRE25.d, BKINDR25.d, KIND25J.d scripts: KINDRE25.baf, KINDR25D.baf

no prob. I just went ahead and did this for saerilej.d-- GlobalLT("Chapter","GLOBAL",8) for saeri25j.d-- GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",7)

gotcha. thanks!

I thought chapter 7 was suldanessellar and hell and whatnot and therefore WK is inaccessible during that chapter. am I wrong? can one go to WK while in chapter 7? if so, changing the code is an easy thing.

nevermind. simgding0 fixed it. but, just in case anyone else wants to know how to do it.... in your J.d file, put GlobalLT("Chapter","GLOBAL",7) and then in your 25J.d file, put GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",7) then just double up the interjections in each of the files.

we tried that, originally. we had to cut it out of SoA and just leave the ToB with the chapter global.

we want to have saerileth interject into various parts of the watcher's keep quest, whether you do it in SoA or ToB. however, while testing the saerileth mod, we found that when it's time for her to interject, the dialogue simply ends. the bioware npcs do *not* interject into WK in SoA. their interjections are coded in their 25.d files with a GlobalGT("Chapter","Global",7) check. is this what we need to do for saerileth? this would therefore make her eligible to interject into WK *only* in ToB, which is exactly what we don't want to do. can anyone help?

ok, it's official: sillara is silly. plea to G3 global moderator(s): please disable sillara's emoticon panel.

I have the following code in a cutscene. However, Weidu claims there are "too many arguments" in the EscapeAreaMove command. I know that the coordinates look odd, but they are correct for EscapeAreaMove. (Not only is it so listed in IESDP, but I have it in another mod, and it works.) What is wrong? Sillara, the stumped Edit: (Sorry, I forgot to log-out nethrin) IF True() THEN RESPONSE #100 CutSceneId("Edorem") Wait(1) SaveGame(0) FadeToColor([30.0],0) Wait(2) EscapeAreaMove("Edorem","ar1204",422,430,0) ActionOverride("Player1",EscapeAreaMove("ar1204",423,431,0)) ActionOverride("Player2",EscapeAreaMove("ar1204",424,432,0)) ActionOverride("Player3",EscapeAreaMove("ar1204",425,433,0)) ActionOverride("Player4",EscapeAreaMove("ar1204",426,434,0)) ActionOverride("Player5",EscapeAreaMove("ar1204",427,435,0)) ActionOverride("Player6",EscapeAreaMove("ar1204",428,436,0)) Wait(5) FadeFromColor([20.0],0) ActionOverride("Edorem",StartDialogueNoSet(Player1)) EndCutSceneMode() END

I authorize these banters as writer/coder of the Kindrek mod and as co-writer/co-coder of the Yasraena mod. (SoA) Kindrek's file name is BKINDREK. Yasraena's is BYASRAEN. (ToB) Kindrek's file name is BKINDR25. Yasraena's is BYASRA25. BANTER #1 SoA KINDREK: Yasraena! Watching your body move in battle turns me on! YASRAENA: (Yasraena's face registers utter bafflement.) What? KINDREK: Not only do you excel at the shedding of blood, which I find highly stimulating, but your battle-dance shows me parts of your body I usually do not have the pleasure of seeing! YASRAENA: You cannot be serious. We are so dissimilar. Your desire for me is like a fish being enamored of a bird. KINDREK: (Kindrek winks at Yasraena.) There are such things as flying fish! YASRAENA: Ugh. And there are such things as blades in the back. BANTER #2 SoA KINDREK: Yasraena! I have given you ample time to consider my offer! What say you? YASRAENA: To what, pray? KINDREK: My offer! Shall I tell <CHARNAME> to set camp so that we might form the beast with two backs? YASRAENA: Do you suspect an attack from a beast? Yes, setting camp is a wonderful deception. It would fool the beast into thinking we do not suspect its presence! KINDREK: What?! What are you talking about? I'm talking about you and me! YASRAENA: Even better. We are the warriors. Let us go out and find this beast-- KINDREK: --Now you're talking! YASRAENA: And murder it. KINDREK: OK, let's skip the camp idea... BANTER for ToB PM'd to Grim Squeaker cuz of spoilers....

Sillara of the Tamari and I are pleased to announce the release of our third mod, the Yasraena NPC mod. Download it here. Her forum is here.

@ghreyfain cool. thanks for the tip!

@ CamDawg and jcompton hey, thanks a bunch for your help. just tested it, and it works! nice to know there are people out there with great advice!!

Yasraena is a rather confused drow. She was born a female noble, but her house was temporarily out of favor. Her mother did not want it to be known that she had just had a seventh daughter because Yasraena, due to the disfavor of Lolth on her house, was rejected by Lolth (that is the way drow spell the name, at least according to the Drow of the Underdark book). A daughter not allowed to become a priestess would be an enormous shame. So Yasraena was shuffled off for the first few years of her life, trained to believe in the superiority of females but rarely experiencing the benefits herself. She showed great aptitude for sword-play, so when she was old enough, she was disguised as a male and sent into Melee Magthere, the male fighters' academy. During Yasraena's time at Melee Magthere, two things happened which changed the course of her life. She met Divalir, her master at the academy. He taught her more than sword-play. He taught her how to be good. (This bit will be explained in the mod.) The second thing was that her mother regained the favor Lolth. Yasraena's disguise was then less important, and indeed, her being a female was rather an open secret by then. Her mother let it be known that upon Yasraena's graduation from the academy, she would then be placed in Arach-Tinilith, the school for priestesses. To avoid this, Divalir tried to get Yasraena to the surface. So, having been raised as an oddity female, a girl-child not allowed to serve Lolth, then been disguised as a male for several years, Yasraena's way of thinking is muddled at times. She is extremely proud, trusts with difficulty, is courageous, and tries to be stoic. If you want to learn more about Yasraena, visit her forum at Chosen of Mystra: http://chosenofmystra.db-forge.com/mystra_...wforum.php?f=62

We tried Aribeth, but she is just too well known, so we're hoping someone can help us alter these pics into drow. Oh, and the earth necklace has GOT to go! If anyone has the time/inclination to help us, we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

if anyone's interested, here are some kindrek screenshots: http://www.gilalion.com/images/kindrekrecord.gif http://www.gilalion.com/images/kindrekinventory.gif http://www.gilalion.com/images/kindrekamulet.gif

update: the voiced kindrek mod is now available: http://www.gilalion.com/kindrekmod this version is substantially larger than the previous one because there is extensive voicing. a special thanks to SConrad for helping me put the voicing together.

I am interested. I am the author and voice of the Kindrek NPC mod for SoA & ToB. http://www.gilalion.com.kindrekmod This is a completed mod, and it is ready for cross-mod bantering. Please contact me if you're interested, and we'll work something out. Note: Kindrek cannot banter with single-classed mages or sorcerers because he will not stay in the group if one is present.

Yes, a wizard-slayer (but not the kit--he just heavily subscribes to the tenets). He's actually a berserker. But he does not attack wizards indiscriminately....
