Modding suite for the EE?

Dark_Ansem

Is there a "modding suite" or an all-around utility such as Near Infinity which works with the EE?

I have the same question ?! Anyone ?!

http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showforum=137 DLTCEP has all sorts of editing traits.

What's wrong with Near Infinity?

CoM_Solaufein

NI is not up to date on the new compression for BAMs, TIS and other file formats.

Irbis

+DLTCEP is also actualy more user friendly and better organized but it has problems reading some scripts.
I use both. When one fails i use the other.

To me DLTCEP seems more comprehensive and powerful , but the UI is not as "easy" to get around in; more of a learning curve

God

To my experience, DLTCEP has everything for everyday modding needs en suite.

Dark_Ansem

but, for example, the ACMtoWAV does not work... until the team releases the high-quality OGG we're stuck

CoM_Solaufein

It would be nice if Near Infinity would get updated. Its my tool of choice these days when it comes to EE.

Dark_Ansem

I wonder if the author is here

Cuv

@FredRichardson was the last to update NI and make it initially compatible with BGEE. Perhaps he will make a new update. Haven't seen Fred on here since the beginnings of BGEE though

I can also flag @Wisp to ask if there is anything he can do. He can at least comment.

Dark_Ansem

the first user you mention is not present here.

@FredSRichardson Left out the S

Can do?, yes; will do?, probably not any time soon. I have a bunch of other stuff to take care of first. Edit: if there's anything serious, I can/will deal with it, but updating NI on account of new formats for graphics and sounds is further down on the list of priorities.

Dark_Ansem

AFAIK the new sound files are not recognized. I have not checked for other stuff.

CoM_Solaufein

They're in the OGG format now and not WAV.

Dark_Ansem

yep. agreed. no tool works anymore on windows 7 x64, the version I use.

Dark_Ansem

except the updated Near Infinity version.

Kaltzor

Is there a way to create innate abilties using DLCTEP that you could add onto characters using EEKeeper?

Dark_Ansem

I don't think that can happen..

Freche

@Kaltzor, haven't tried it but I would guess it should be possible.
Create a new spell and make it an innate. When done place it in the override folder.
EEKeeper should then find it and you can add it to a character.

Dark_Ansem

so, has an official suite been released at all?

Dark_Ansem

any idea how to listen to the audio files?

Isaya

The latest beta version of Near Infinity mentionned here is able to play the audio files.
You need Java Runtime Environment 7 to use Near Infinity.

Wisp

@Isaya
That's not a beta. It's an alpha version, or possibly pre-alpha. Use at your own risk, etc.
