    Well there is a lot of information for access, but I don't remember seeing lore modifiers anywhere, just general lore. There are other spell related ability bonuses bound to intelligence and wisdom, but they are just too long to fit in that area in some sensible manner.

    So, I just installed this and "Portraits, Portraits Everywhere". When I try to create a new character, there are no portraits to choose from. I tried adding a custom portrait (following the guidelines on this forum) and still nothing shows up. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

    Also, when I uninstall UI++, the portraits come back.

    EDIT: I uninstalled BG:EE and reinstalled UI++ on a fresh install. Still the same problem.

    @mrjane : Hmm, try to check the M_BG.lua file in your override folder, there should be a list of portraits to appear in your portrait picker. If there is nothing, try to use the 'Update portrait picker' WeiDU option.

    @Pecca ....

    It is really AWESOME!!!!!
    I like very much this work. I want to do the same for BG2EE and try to find a workaround for the transfering problem.

    Could you publish your code please?

    The next update containing new inventory, record and spell screens is almost ready. right now I'm working on a compatibility for other games than SoD. I hope to release it somewhat simultaneously with 2.5 patch.

    I managed to make the inventory work without problems and I like the result very much. There will be no option to keep the old one (which was previously asked for) as I see no downside compared to the new one.

    Concerning the 'successor' mod I was planning, I put that on hold indefinitely. It's ambition outgrew my time limits. Instead, keeping this one up to date and extending compatibility is much less time consuming, so I decided to go this way. The once-again-changed-plan for the future is now simplified to creating BG2 and IWD skins for the same layout.

    Fine, greaaat, it avoids me to use an au3 layout to autoselect the tranferring target.

    I will just wait to steal/adapt (remove this dark theme with badass creatures) your code for my BG2EE custom UI because I do not know much about this not Baldur's Gate Universe SoD game people are talking about...

    Ohh, this looks really nice and convenient.

    It does seem to be more of a UI for experts, though, as all the 'convenient' information is gone again.

    I guess it's impossible to show the current load for all characters?
  • PeccaPecca Member Posts: 2,218
    The combat stats info is hidden under tooltip. If you hover over the stat, it will show you, what was there before. I just doesn't take half of the screen.
  • ThelsThels Member Posts: 1,422
    Ahh, that's really nice! Looking forward to trying this out, especially since it seems BG2EE and IWDEE support is coming? Though I guess you're skipping the Blue BGEE skin?

    No skins. The next update will still have only the SoD skin, but it will be compatible with other games. I want to do BG2 and IWD skins in the future, but definitely not the blue one.

    EDIT: Nevermind, solved it. Great mod!

    I'm loving this new Inventory screen, so much more convenient. The spellbook too. Thanks a lot for these.

    Does it still require you to index all portraits beforehand?

    Yes, portrait picker is untouched.

    Amazing work! Is there an option to use this UI in BGEET?
  • PeccaPecca Member Posts: 2,218
    Not yet.

    Any chance that part could be made optional, or replaced by one of the other available portrait pickers? It's quite inconvenient for those of us that do NOT fill their portrait folder with a huge list, and instead only add an image for the next character they intend on playing, whenever they want to start a new run.

    I have no particular plans for it. But you can remove it quite simply. Just replace this section of UI.MENU:

    name 'CHARGEN_PORTRAIT'

    ignoreesc
    onopen "

    togs = ''
    toggleSort = 0
    CImage = 0
    faNot = 0
    fbNot = 0
    if toggleMale == 1 then
    toggleSex = 'M'
    elseif toggleFemale == 1 then
    toggleSex = 'F'
    elseif Infinity_FetchString(characters[currentID].gender) == 'Male' then
    toggleSex = 'M'
    elseif Infinity_FetchString(characters[currentID].gender) == 'Female' then
    toggleSex = 'F'
    end
    if toggleSex == 'F' then
    togS = PPStrings.PP_CHAR_FEMALE

    Thanks! That's easy enough to do. :)

    Hello. I appreciate your work, but sadly I really dont like new inventory. It feels impersonal, for me its fun to outfit each character separately. Please consider adding option of classic.

    Sorry, no plans for that. The inventory is now as it was intended for this mod.

    I really like the new inventory system! I kept a backup of the older version just to be safe, but the new one makes preparing/outfitting the party an easy task. Very good Job, Pecca!

    So I decided to give the install another try on EET ... I know it's been tried before.

    After I added eet to the tp2, it installed just fine. For the most part everything actually works correctly. However, the game only starts in BG2 even if you select BG1. Secondly, the floating text when you put the mouse over an icon has random strings of text. Other than that it seems to work as intended. Unfortunately those are pretty big issues.

    Thank you for making a good ui mode.

    1.I'm using a slightly larger custom portrait, I want to apply it to my record. And to do that, we have to modify the rest. Which parts need to be editing? I would appreciate your help. We have to move the size of the unit smaller than the portrait, and then we have to move the level up dual class customize and others to the other side.

    2.another one Portrait when talking Is the portrait size l or m?

    3.Portrait when talking bg2ee and iwdee Individual installation impossible? I want to apply it to a very good idea. I'd like to apply it myself. If it is not, I will fix it myself if you can help me.

    I am sorry for writing so long and for expecting so much help. But it's a very attractive mode.

    Edit: Messed around with this a bit more. SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options','EET Installation State','2') is in the baldur.lua, so that's not the issue. I can start SOD and the black pits., but BG1 starts BG2. I can also load the BG1 save state I made before all the mods were installed. So it's just a matter of getting it to load BG1 as a new game. I'll keep playing around with it. It's not perfect but it's worth messing around with for the beautiful artwork and modifications.

    Any luck getting it to work for EET? :)

    No I gave up and started creating my own custom UI using Lefreuit's SOD UI.
