portraits I upscaled + restyled some BG portraits with AI
bob_veng replied to jwronsky's topic in Fan Fiction
There's a lot potential here. Could you upscale all the vanilla ToB portraits? -
I'm a (very secondary) co-author of PPE. I'll think about this, and if this technique can be conveniently used to create more portraits, which, in fact, could be used for NPCs edit: I was thinking about BG style AI-generated portraits for a while actually. My main issue is that the style they are generated in is generic Deviant-Art-mostly-fantasy-character-art, which is often "branded" as resembling / being inspired by baldur's gate portraits or is mentioned in some context in conjunction with the term "Baldur's Gate", but the style is not really the one of BG

I think it just means "make the image rather small"
-
Shortening and paraphrasing is needed anyways because descriptions in the books are long and may not match all that well with how creatures are implemented.
-
I agree that this is the best solution; it could be made even better by adding some kind of text somewhere informing the player that they can't leave (during the fight)

The reason why I was interested in K4thos' IWD-in-EET is because i had a feeling that it would improve IWD, not so much BG (it wouldn't hurt it either; I think ToTLM-in-BG2EE mostly demonstrates this), because you could play it with the well-developed and familiar BG NPCs; dialogues were written for them too. Basically, it would address what IWD lacks the most—real party members. (I am aware of mods that add NPCS to IWD) about four bad options, subtledoctor mentions: K4thos seemed to have opted for #5 -- removing references from books, dialogues, item descriptions (there aren't that many) that strongly suggest a timeline discrepancy. basically a "white lie"-style general redaction of the lore.
-
yes, after thinking a bit more, I agree that the summoned princes should never provide xp in a hypothetical version of the game where enemies could summon an elemental prince (... and while summoned the same prince could not be summoned by anyone else), i would not mind it providing xp, unlike basically all the other summons, and would not see it as a discrepancy, but that's an imaginary scenario
-
seeing how these are unique, named, creatures, i think that an elemental prince being summoned is something that qualitatively changes the encounter. what if a mage summoned another, named, mage?

Porting NWN animations - a work in progress
bob_veng replied to The Artisan's topic in General Mod Discussion
the polygon count and general "graphical fidelity" of NWN models isn't high enough for larger-than-average sprites. The blockiness actually translates even to sprites. -
You should release the IWD:EE portion just because of @AWizardDidIt's banters.

G3 Introduces the Lore From Learning Mod (v6 released)
bob_veng replied to CamDawg's topic in Miscellaneous Released Mods
I have a suggestion: very high WIS should provide a bonus to lore gains (enabling you to gain more than 1 point at a time, whenever that is possible, i.e. enabling you to gain lore at the current default rate), and very low INT should disable most lore gains, especially those from books. edit: and CHA should affect the Party Members Provide Lore Bonuses component, particularly with very low CHA making it impossible to gain lore this way. -
She's done bad things and her not "bad mouthing" someone doesn't make those bad things go away. Imagine stealing an apple. (Person A) You are caught and people express criticism over this. (People B) Person C passes by and comments how you didn't bad mouth People B. Have you thereby been successfully defended by Person C? Your stealing an apple suddenly doesn't matter? Person C also says how he/she doesn't know anything about an apple being stolen. So? Does that make People B forget about the apple? I'll leave it there, you don't have to answer. There are good ways to defend someone and bad ways, and your post is in the latter category.

how is this different from how IWD-in-EET is already intended to be? the idea for a mega-campaign in the north was scrapped at the latest after SoD was released and IWD1 main campaign was given a lower priority to IWD2, which can be easily integrated in terms of continuity and timeline, while IWD1 can't be integrated in a no-tamper fashion either with SoD or with IWD2 itself.

is this about the color of a spell icon? i can do it but no ETA

How much do ability scores matter over the course of a playthrough?
bob_veng replied to Endarire's topic in Noobermeet
you've already defined a case where relatively low scores matter - inability to cast higher level spells, and concluded that having high scores is better so i don't really understand the question is the question: how much does it matter that something is better?
