Mods I'd like to see updated to bgee

Grammarsalad

Hello. There are a few mods that I absolutely love that I just can't imagine playing without. I think some of those modders are here. Now, that might mean by itself that these individuals are already planning to ensure that their wonderful mods will play nice with bgee but I find myself uncomfortable with the uncertainty. So I figured: why not must ask?

I would like to formerly request that the following mods get a bgee update when the game comes out:

Rogue re balance
Spell revisions
Item revisions
Atweaks
BG 2 Tweaks
Sword Coast Stratagems
Kit Revisions (not out yet but I'm really looking forward to it)
Refinements
I believe that there were some 'extras' in BG2 Fixpack
Tobex "extras"

Thank you!

Edit: dyslexia out, tobex in

BG1NPCs should really be on the list, together with BG1 Unfinished Business and @Galactygon's Spell Pack (*nudge*nudge*).

I would like to see BG1 NPC Project being updated, this mod is very important for gaming experience.

@AndreaColombo "BG1 Unfinished Business"

The fixes from BG1UB are not included in BGEE ?

AndreaColombo

@Kerozevok - I'm afraid implementing UB would violate the contract clause not to alter the original game content. There is no official word on the matter, though. I was merely playing it safe.

CamDawg

A caveat first: modders are going to need a new release of WeiDU before we can get mods working on BGGEE. With that said,

working on it.

All the relevant fixes from BG2 Fixpack have been submitted. What extras are you referring to?

AndreaColombo

Maybe @Wisp can drop a "working on it" line about aTWEAKS and RR to indulge our yearning spirits ;-)

Wisp

I'm actually not. I am waiting until we get closer to release. But they will be made compatible with BG(2)EE.

AndreaColombo

You get a Like which may or may not be related to my ruleslawyerdom and the fact that aTWEAKS and RR are among my favorite mods.

Kerozevok

@AndreaColombo Something is unclear about the contract clause, because they can add NPC & maps, therefore altered 2DA, BG.Gam, Worldmap.. from the orignal content.

That said, I think several components from UB are optional (UB quests, storekeepers, Sarevok's diary...).

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

AndreaColombo

@Kerozevok - the contract allows devs to add new content as an expansion (think TotSC II), but not to alter existing content (think adding banters between BG1 NPCs in BG1 areas).

Kerozevok

@AndreaColombo Ok, ok.. Tks for the clarifications.

mch202

@AndreaColombo - do you know what the contract says about altering/adding to an existing content as a Post-Ship Optional DLC??

AndreaColombo

@mch202 - honestly, I have no idea. I'm afraid it says the original content cannot be altered at all, but that's just a gut feeling. Maybe @TrentOster could clarify?

Tanthalas

As long as its official material that they are selling, I doubt it matters if its optional post-ship DLC.

I always wanted to play the vampire NPC mod (Valen I think), but never did. Would be an interesting change, no?

I thought there were some 'optional but cool' features that likely wouldn't be included in bgee. I'm not 100% though. I'll have to check.

understandable. Thanks!

Dazzu

BG isn't BG anymore without Finch, Mur'neth and Indira.

Grammarsalad

@dazzu mch202 and @andreacolombo I can add those to the op if you think that will help get an answer. But I'll need to do it when I get home as editing with my phone is...difficult

Oh, right, I hadn't even thought of the OBC stuff. @Wisp and @aVENGER had already made great progress towards v10 and I've jumped in at the last minute to try and steal all the credit, so I'll add this to the to-do list.

Ardanis

The Revisions series will be updated, but keep in mind that we tend to be... really slow sometimes.

AndreaColombo

@CamDawg - yeah, the optional but cool components of the Fixpack were... well, cool :-) I'm all for implementation in BG:EE--well, either that, or them being made compatible with BG:EE.

AndreaColombo

Oh, and I'll drop @DavidW's name to get a word about SCS.

Grammarsalad

@ardanis not a problem.it's worth the wait! @camdawg awesome! Thanks!

Also, I really need to include tobex "extras"like demi dual class and no restrictions...

cmorgan

I can confirm BG1NPC will be actively working for compatibility with BG:EE. I don't have an ETA, but it will definitely be done. I also like Indira and Finch, and can promise I will be available to help get them working, if someone else doesn't get to it first.

LordsDarkKnight185

Divine Remix! I want my spell-spheres (and my painbearer) for my second play-through!

My human cleric/mage approves.

Dazzu

@cmorgan
No Mur'neth? I mean, considering what he is, a not even humanoid entity, it might be worth reprogramming him into his actual race, but the concept was really cool.

cmorgan

@Dazzu, sure thing - I should have been clearer -

Gibberlings3 is generally a "make it work" site. Think Project Runway, only no Heidi Klum, and we all take turns being Tim Gunn. Plus, a 24hour challenge is usually spread out over several years. So, many of the mods hosted at G3 are highly likely to be made compatible with BG:EE and BG2:EE, eventually, assuming that we are able to make it work. The real unknown is timeframe. So, if it works on Tutu or BGT and is hosted at G3, there is a good chance that someone will be trying to make it work, if it can be done. We just have to bribe @Andyr to get active again if we want it to happen sooner rather than later in the specifics of Mur'neth.

I just listed my personal priorities for workload - BG1NPC, Finch (hosted at PocketPlaneGroup), and Indira, in that order if possible. That's just because those are my personal "must have available"s, and I am sure Berelinde will be working on Gavin.

Bercon

My mod wishlist: SCS (Improved AI is a must), UB, BG1NPC

I don't mind playing beta versions, where I might have to console something or edit script/item/spell or two.

Ward

BG1npc: Fantastic already, needs correction and a Viconia booty shaking part.
BG1UB: Have not tried it, but I know it's good. Just needs correction.
Sirine's Call: Very good content mod, but the areas it adds in the buildings are ripped from IWD and look crap. Updated with high quality rips is necessary.
@Erephine's 22.05 - 44.01khz mod, already perfect and needs to happen at all costs after realizing what a difference.

Plus some kind of mod to remove/edit 1PP, or better yet, some kind of easy to use tool to select bits of different avatars (so you can choose exactly what you want).
