    Cursed Items Mod

    in General Mod Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Salk

    UPDATE:

     

    I decided to update this thread because I am again in need of a coder to finalize the MiniMod.

     

    The MiniMod has so far been coded entirely by Nythrun who left the modding scene three months ago. I never heard from her since ( :) ). She had time to write most of the code and was going to finish implementing my last requests.

     

    Is there anyone who wants to finish what she started?

     

    It would be extra good if my new partner had a rather good knowledge of the BG2/ToB game since I didn't play BG2 for many years and some specific changes affecting BG2/ToB need to be discussed.

     

    In case you are interested and can help me, please do not hesitate sending me a PM.

     

    I would think that the working time left might take 2-3 hours of coding.

     

    Thanks a lot! :)

    A small update:

     

    Nythrun (gracious coder of this minimod) is back and has kindly informed me that she'll resume her work on this minimod soon enough.

     

    Considering the recent new changes made during her absence, I'd estimate Cursed Items is 80% ready and not far from entering testing phase which is going to be internal (i.e. me only).

     

    Thanks to Demivrgvs for accomodating his promising Item Revisions to be fully compatible with Cursed Items.

     

    Thanks!

    Well,

     

    I am writing here to thank all those who offered their help and to announce that it's our lovely Nythrun who is taking care of the code ( :cool: ).

     

    To answer to Fyorl, the readme will say as little as I have said so far because giving away details spoils the real essence of this mod.

     

    Let me just repeat that it has such a minor impact though that its presence will barely be noticed and make any difference.

     

    Thanks!

    Hello again!

     

    Thanks for the nice appreciation.

     

    I have in front of me three viable solutions for coding this: one is much nicer but I fear it can't be coded, the others are less effective but still an improvement over the vanilla implementation.

     

    Please do not expect anything great. As I mentioned, it's just a little thing.

     

    In the beginning it will apply to Bioware's cursed items but in the future it can be further extended to mods-introduced cursed items as well.

    Hello!

     

    I have put together a little funny (I hope at least...) minimod which should give a bit more depth to cursed items in Baldur's Gate.

     

    What I need is someone with a little knowledge of WeiDu for packaging it (and perhaps even proofreading of the new text).

     

    Please send me a PM if you are interested, thanks! :)

     

    Link to the mod (only compatible with classic BG).

    BG1 Fixpack ?

    in General Mod Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Salk

    I have always given BG1 Fixpack as much importance as the BG2 Fixpack has. Idobek has already done a good part of the job. The goal would be to have a team like the BG2 Fixpack's team work on it.

     

    I am no modder but I got to know Dudleyville's fixes so I can help with a little experience in there to perhaps individuate those fixes that should be moved to OBC.

     

    Also, it's a must to make it EasyTuTu/BGT compatible as well, just like Miloch said. Problems with EasyTuTu is that it comes "prepatched" as MacReady's intention is to make EasyTuTu as userfriendly as possible. At today, if I am not mistaken, BG2 Fixpack's corrections, despite reaching a pretty stable status, cannot be had on EasyTuTu which is very rigid in its structure. On the other hand, a BG1 Fixpack would not work on BGT for another reason (Ascension64 has coded his own BG1's fixes - very limited - in BGT but that doesn't mean that future fixes, if well documented, can't be included)... :)

    This is great news!

     

    Actually, at G3's Wikipedia, there is already a BG1 Fixpack work in progress started many years ago by Idobek and never completed thus far.

     

    I think that joining efforts would be a very good idea.

     

    About Dudleyfixes (I collaborated a bit with him in the past), I can say that most of his changes are seamless and I would be happy to help you out with those, if you like. Just PM me in that case...

     

    Also, I think it is pretty much critical to cover also the TotSC part of the game as most players (I would think) have the expansion too (which is, by the way, very much worth its money so go and find one!! :) )

     

    Cheers!

    Pocketplane down ?

    Hello!

     

    Sorry if I am asking this in the wrong Forum but after going through all of them I thought this place might fit the most.

     

    I have tried visiting Pocketplane webside/forum for four days now and the server is always down.

     

    Does anybody know anything about this ? :)

     

    Thanks! :)
