Turnabout is fair play. The Turnabout mod adds a new wrinkle to the final fight in Throne of Bhaal, enabling the player to recall up to three dead allies to aid in the battle. Seven possible allies are available: Dynaheir Tiax Khalid Xzar Gorion Yoshimo Alianna (the PC's mother) My update, made 14 years after the mod's release (to be clear, I have nothing to do with the original team), makes this classic mod compatible with EE, as well as fixes critical bugs present in the first version. A version is also provided for the original BG2, for users who don't want to use EE but want the fixes present in my update. Download the mod here. Turnabout requires that Ascension v2.0 be installed. It can be downloaded here.

Hey everyone, I am using the BG2 Tweaks (v16) with SoA and ToB. Since I only install a relatively small portion of the Tweaks (31 components), I was wondering if there is a way to automate the install? So something like a script where I can say like "install only #60, #110, #1170, ..." and so forth, without having to manually do it. By the way, the stuff is working really really good, a very big Thank You to all the authors!

Greetings. I have two questions to ask. a) Can anyone with a BG2 installation check if gemrb immediately levels up the character to TOB starting XP on the tutorial ? Steps: Shadows of Amn -> Single Player -> Tutorial -> Generate a character or import one of the pre-generated ones (except those starting with tob e.g tobthief) The character starts with 89000 XP but immediately levels up to the 2.5M TOB starting XP. I noticed it with BGT because SoA takes the place of the tutorial and my SoA character immediately leveled and i reproduced it with the tutorial in my clean SoA+ToB installation but maybe something is messed up in my installation. The extra XP are given in the FixProtagonist function in bg2/MessageWindow.py. I followed it to this code in the GameExpansion function if version < 5 and not GemRB.GetVar("PlayMode") and GemRB.GetVar("oldgame"): #upgrade SoA to ToB/SoA if GemRB.GameSetExpansion(4): GemRB.AddNewArea("xnewarea") return The tutorial uses PlayMode=1 so the the body doesn't run and the function doesn't return at that point so it goes further and gives the XP. if version < 5 and and GemRB.GetVar("oldgame"): If i remove the check for Playmode as the above code shows then it works fine but my change will obviously break something. I am not familiar with the GemRB code so i do not know what is the purpose of the PlayMode check. I would appreciate if someone checks how gemrb and vanilla engine behave on the tutorial character. b) This is not very important. A minor issue i noticed when trying to debug the XP issue. LUSpellSelection.py contains the following code: # chargen character seem to get more spells per level (this is kinda dirty hack) # except sorcerers if chargen and Class != 19 and not IWD2: SpellsSelectPointsLeft[i] += 1 So when you generate a new Mage character, the code checks the mxsplwiz table and then adds 1 more spell, right ? When i test it, i get 5 4 3 2 spells respectively which seems right (89K XP is L7 for a mage and my mxsplwiz shows 4 3 2 1 for Level 7). However, i have the impression that the vanilla engine works a bit differently. The amount of spells you can memorize after you start the game is the same for both gemrb and the vanilla engine and is exactly what the mxsplwiz file says. The number of "known spells" you get to choose during character generation is different though. GemRB gives you mxsplwiz+1 spells while i believe the vanilla engine gives a fixed amount of spells regardless of what mxsplwiz says. Can anyone check how many spells he gets for a generalist mage in the vanilla engine ? I changed mxsplwiz to give only 1 spell for every level and to give 8 spells. In both cases, during character generation, i got to choose "7 6 5 5 4 4 3 2 2" for "known spells". Thank you for your time.

G3's Tyris Flare NPC, by Grim Squeaker, has been updated by Argent77, and is now available for your BG2:SoA, BG2:ToB, BGT, and BG2:EE games. Meet Tyris Flare, a red-haired amazon who can kick ass and hurl fire! Sound familiar? That's because she used be in Golden Axe! But now she's lost in the Umar Hills and looking for the love of a good (or bad) Bhaalspawn. This latest version of Tyris has a couple of miscellaneous fixes, updates WeiDU, and is now available for Linux and for install on BG2:EE thanks to Argent77.

Hi, everybody. I've spent a good part of the day trying to figure out how monk's APR progression works but was unsuccessful so far. I've checked out the mods that tweak the monk class but so far only understood how the fists' damage and enchantment progresses (hard-coded into exe in vanilla vs. proper 2da table in BG2EE). Could somebody please clarify the bit about the APR for me? Much appreciated, thank you. For instance, the Sword and Fist mod states that it changes the APR progression, but for the love of me I can't figure out how. Best regards, critto

After a year and a half of conscientious procrastination development, Gavin is ready for Throne of Bhaal beta-testing. All primary dialogue is in place and both sequential and plot-related dialogue is alpha-tested. While there is still a small bit of writing to do for the mod, I am ready to start recruiting beta testers. To avoid creating more work for the forum admins, we'll use this pinned thread for beta-testing findings. I am looking for three groups of beta-testers. Romance - Players should run the ToB romance with Gavin. Apart from a single romance-kill for Anomen that occurs in dialogue, there are no romance kill scripts in place. For your beta playthrough, at least, please don't multi-romance. The Master Wraith encounter and other romance-specific dialogues typically occur for only one NPC. Apart from that, have fun. Please be aware that NPC-initiated flirts aren't implemented yet and place-holders replace player-initiated pillow talk (hopefully, these are at least marginally amusing). The PID menu is still under construction, but it's functional. Full-length NPC-initiated night talks are in place. Friendship - Players should run through ToB with Gavin in the party as it suits them. Leaving/rejoining dialogues should work, and if Gavin is kicked from the party, he shouldn't comment on events he didn't witness. If he does, it's a bug. Others - Players should install the mod and not recruit Gavin. Several bugs in BG2 Gavin occurred because I got sloppy with the code for instances when Gavin isn't in the party. I want to avoid that happening again, so I'm looking for players who will install the mod and never recruit the guy. If you go this route, please drop in once your have completed your playthrough to report your success. One SoA-only player to test-install the mod. It should install OK. General Beta-Testing instructions: Gavin ToB is a complete mod! Do not attempt to install Gavin ToB without first uninstalling and deleting all previous versions of Gavin for BG2! This is a beta. Principal dialogues have been alpha-tested, but I have not pursued every route through every dialogue. I need to know about dialogue loops, illogical conversation flow, and the dreaded NO VALID REPLIES OR LINKS. Please report all stutter, even if you don't think it's Gavin's fault. By stutter, I mean that one NPC turns to face the PC or moves toward the NPC. To see if you have stutter, direct the NPC to walk some distance away. If the NPC makes it to the destination, there is no stutter. If the NPC halts before the destination is reached, there is stutter. I have a post-installation mod to diagnose stutter, but there isn't any reason to play with that on all the time. Stutter is NOT the same as lag. Lag is where EVERYBODY slows down and movements are jerky. Lag is usually caused by trying to install too many mods. Because this is a beta, I do not recommend installing it on a mega. Mega-mods take ages to build and rely on installation order extensively. Let's not go there until Gavin's ToB content is out of beta. You may be asked to update your installation to a new version at some point. Keeping Gavin at the end of your installation will minimize headaches. At the very least, romance players have the updated PID and PC-initiated night talks to look forward to. Download Gavin ToB Beta

In preparations for the next release (less brown-baggy), I did an almost straight runthrough of bg1 to check if it still works. It does. Bugs were killed in the process and I don't mean ankhegs or carrion crawlers. Now it's time to do the same in bg2 with a sorcerer/monk/cleric. The fighter/sorcerer/thief combination from bg1 was just too boring to take over.

Aran can pick up and run with it. But for female PCs, the same problem Berelinde had with going between BG1 and BG2 with Gavin gets into play here. We have three "Fate Spirit" summons for female PC's, allowing declaration of "friend", "lover", and "former lover", setting the romance variable to 0, 2, or 3. But with the in-depth content in play in BG2, it makes it difficult to follow further whether they have had an on-again off-again relationship, or what they have done together. Plus... I might just back that off to two - and let players 'configure' Aran, the way Mass Effect 2 does for non-saved-game-import games. I don't know if this is better served by having someone else have the conversation, but since I can't be sure that it isn't just PC and Aran going it alone, it seems like i am stuck with either a "Dear Diary" talking object approach, where PC talks to herself (which I am not so fond of) and PC directly checking and controlling Aran through dialog. There is another consideration - testing. Basically, after each opportunity to flirt or lovetalk or whatever, I want an easy way of determining the status of the relationship without always having to type in the CLUAConsole (because I sink at typing). And a very common player post is about how to set or change the romance variables, or check on them. So, an opportunity that is more in-depth than the standard PID "breakup, flirt, no flirt" options... something that during joining, rejoining, and regular play the player can use to check on (and perhaps change) the status. If playtesters dislike it, we can always drop it - it does mean that a player can "change history" on the fly the way it is currently coded. That might be useful for testing, but might not be so cool in play. Copies go in pre-joined ToB, Joined ToB, Post-Joined ToB, Post-Joined SoA, and Joined SoA. Initiating links could loop in anywhere, but this probably is best set up as a PID option "status check". Still to integrate: c-aranfirstsex = 1 : self-identified no experience (no need to look for whether or not RE content, etc. is in play - leaves the option for play as a manipulative PC "Oh, I have never done this before" is something that could be said many many ways) idea presented by Autumn Bard - mirrors some of the close tracking of progress in Berelinde's Gavin and Jastey's Ajantis. c-aransex = 0 : no intimacy c-aransex = 1 : kissing c-aransex = 2 : touching + kissing c-aransex = 3 : heavy innuendo touching ("petting") c-aransex = 4 : full physical intimacy So, a dialog for checking ++ ~[PC] Before we go any further, Aran... what do you think our "relationship" is?~ + tob_a2699 */ /* Aran... what do you think our "relationship" is?
