@LavaDelVortel - I appreciate your input however the original background graphic your speaking of was already mosaic and provided by someone here on the forums as request. I will be having more BG Start Screen Options for BETA 6.0. If you have an image that you think would look great send me some links on here and I see what I can do. Thanks.
@neoesprit - Sounds good send me a link, please. Honestly - I did NOT want to do this silver-blue button set. The only reason I did was because so many people requested it. It takes a lot of time and tedious work to do button sets. I will personally never use it. I'm glad you and others will enjoy them though.
Oh, I think the non-mosaic image would do And I know it was posted by someone here, but I'm haing a terrible headache and I wading through all the posts here would make it worse, huh. Still, thanks for your work As I said - can't wait to see more! Cheers!
I'm unable to check it right now, but are there many different types of inventory screen available? Both the original one and those with slots "around" the paperdoll? Oh, I'm glad you believe their useful
Using DA thing is completelly different thing and before that kind of art is used, you must ask the author first. I usggested FR art mostly because of the lore, but also because there are many original images in the internet and they are somehow...related when talking about the lincence. I know it's not completelly like that, but I belive using D&D/FR original stuff for D&D/FR original game is less violating than taking private resources from DA (unless there is a permission for that, I mean)
@LavaDelVortel There's nothing different about it. Most, if not all of the links I posted are also part of official D&D material and thus copyrighted by Wizards of the Coast. You even see the WotC trademark in the pictures themselves. Of course, the same goes for the D&D wallpapers you've posted as well.
I looked mostly at the link, and if they were like copyrighted by WotC, then it's much better, yeah. Not all of them, I guess, and I would stick to those of WotC/FR/D&D (also when using other links, including mine) Just because it's kinda safer and more apripriate
I do try to obtain permission from the owners of all artwork used if its possible. Most people wont have any issue with it first off because of the nature of the usage. This is non-profit and entertainment purposes only.
I am and it's great, thank you very much. Special letters seem to work just fine, wouldn't have wanted to rename my characters for that. ^^ I'm using my tv instead of a monitor so the texts used to be quite hard to read from afar - not any more.
There are some odd squares in some places, especially in Neera quest line... didn' notice this on my previous playthrough so I'm quessing it is either due to this mod or previous BG:EE update?
@Darksheer - The bigger font mod does have some strange characters in it on rare occasion. As of right now there is no way for me to correct this as I don't have the ability to modify it. I hope overhaul will enable us to have more access to modifying fonts in the future. I'm still searching for a way around this issue. Thanks for your feedback.
@Darksheer - I've looked more into the font issue you mentioned. I located the exact dialog string to check to see what it was suppose to be and this is what I found:
At last! Not only have we caught up with that slippery elf—
As you can see: — is at the end which is a strange character combination that is not supported by the "normal.bam" default BGEE font. I'm assuming this is a bug in the game. Can anyone else confirm this?
@Darksheer - can you uninstall the font mod and double check that it occurs again at that point in the game and take screenshots? I would greatly appreciate it. If it is a bug which is what I'm guessing...we need to report it.
I've also double checked the font mod that I've created simply uses a larger stock BGEE font and has all of the same characters that the smaller default font contains. So there shouldn't be any issues with the larger font mod itself.
Do you have all of the newest patches/updates?
Thanks.
Update: I used NearInfinity to look up the string in question before and now I used DLTCEP to look up the string and it appears that the — is suppose to be a dash mark...
EXAMPLE:
NearInfinity: The word is that all across the expansive Sword Coast, from the Cloudpeaks to Baldur's Gate, an ore shortage is severely crippling local trade. Bandits—purportedly both human AND demihuman—raid caravans, whilst ore reaching its destination becomes brittle and useless following smelting, strangely afflicted by an odd, iron-weakening plague. As though this were not cause for alarm in itself, production at the mines outside of Nashkel has fallen, with the substantially lower yields being blamed on nervous workers. Mysterious disappearances of several miners have set the whole area on edge, where something must shift the balance to one side, or the other.

@Archaic : Love the silver Button set ! It brings back the Bg2 feeling and honestly... That was what I missed the most =p
Still, thanks for your work
