Curious question, would it be possible to build a fighter kit that could pick pocket using the SKILLBRD.2DA TABLE? 

I suspect this may be possible with @Bubb EEex mod but I'm on a macOS thus am unable to install it currently...

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

REQUIRE_PREDICATE takes two arguments. The second is a string, used for the error message. So WeiDU reads that, sees COPY_EXISTING where a string should be, and chokes on the syntax error.

Quick fix: replace

REQUIRE_PREDICATE GAME IS ~bgee~

with something like

REQUIRE_PREDICATE GAME IS ~bgee~ ~This component is only available for BGEE~

 

Thank you, I appreciate your patience and your response.

Follow up question if I may?

How do I restrict installation of a component to a specific game for example BGEE vs BG2EE? 

I've been reviewing other mods and tried using REQUIRE_PREDICATE GAME IS ~bgee~ but that just returns an parse error

Thank you in advance, any assistance would be appreciated.

A mercenary kit would be good, and I think it would go well with Kagain. There's more I want to do, but need to sit down and plan it out. For example, I'd like to do a Nightcloak of Shar kit for Cleric/Thief multi and give the option for Viconia to be this at start.

Kagain is exactly who I would give a mercenary kit to...

I've been mucking around with the following:

MERCENARY: Mercenaries are soldiers who sell their services to the highest bidder. Traveling great distances in harsh conditions for coin and fame, the mercenary is a man or woman who must master a variety of weapons and styles to satisfy his or her employer's needs.
 
Advantages:

– Begins proficient (one slot) in single-weapon style and sword and shield style (in place of Begins with two extra proficiency slots at 1st level.)

– No solution for the extra proficiency slot at 6th level

– Kagain specific bag of holding with limited capacity in place of carry weight increased by 50%

Disadvantages:
- May not exceed High Mastery (four slots) in any weapon.

Good evening,

I'm trying to create an item (tome) that when read will grant the reader 25,000 experience points. I have modelled it after the tome of leadership and influence replacing the charisma bonus with an XP bonus. I'm struggling to edit the effect Display String (139), I would like it to say '<CHARNAME> has gained 25,000 Experience.' Currently it returns 'no such index' I have attached the files for review, any assistance would be appreciated.

@morpheus562 fair point I understand, perhaps we could put our heads together and figure out something in line with with the spirit of the kit?

@morpheus562 Brilliant work!

Would you consider reworking the kits from IWD2?

I would be most interested in the Mercenary Kit

MERCENARY: Mercenaries are soldiers who sell their services to the highest bidder. Traveling great distances in harsh conditions for coin and fame, the mercenary is a man or woman who must master a variety of weapons and styles to satisfy his or her employer's needs.

Advantages:

* Two extra proficiency slots at 1st level.

* One extra proficiency slot at 6th level.

* Carry weight increased by 50%.

Disadvantages:

* Unable to start with Weapon Specialization.

* Unable to achieve Grand Mastery in a weapon.

Do you think it would be possible to create kit specific experience tables instead of class specific experience tables?

and/or 

Allow for certain kits to gain addition weapon proficiencies instead of the entire class?

Would it be possible to create kit specific experience tables instead of class specific experience tables?

@temnix Thank you!

If anyone would be able to assist with the technical side, I would appreciate it. I'm currently reading through various UI.menu files although I'm not having much success

table.insert(recordInfos, {1,""})
	table.insert(recordInfos, {1,t("RESISTANCES_LABEL")})
	table.insert(recordInfos, {1,characters[currentID].proficiencies.resistances})

The above could work, although I'm not sure how to link critical hit threat range?

Would it be possible to display critical (hit) threat range on a character record?

Seems to install without issue on v2.6.5.0

I agree, replacing Kivan's proficiency with halberds for proficiency with spears would be most appropriate in my opinion.

Hi,

I've recently transitioned from a 2013 MacBook Pro to a 2019 MacBook Pro running the most recent version of macOS 10.15.7

After completing a fresh install Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition via Beamdog client, I'm now getting multiple permission errors when attempting to use the most recent version of NearInfinity.

I've included my Debug Console below:

As you can see, I'm getting the the following error:

java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /Users/greener/Documents/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition/Portraits: Operation not permitted

I've tried setting folder permissions via sharing & permissions tab to Read & Write without success, I've tired reinstalling BGEE, I've tried multiple versions of Java, I've even tried giving Java full disk access via security and privacy tab in the system preferences menu, all without success. 

I was some how able to grant specific folder access to Java on my old computer, but seem unable to do that again. I've scoured the internet without success, and I'm now humbly asking for assistance.

Cheers,

a.
