I have this strange red markings/dots. Latest DSUI++, SCS R10, bunch of other mods.
Have you managed to solve this issue? I have the same red markings on both BGEE and BG2EE with latest DSUI++ on Record screen. I will appreciate if anyone has any ideas about it.
Screenshot is attached.
I had the same issue on my last installation, I identified it comes from STATES.BAM or STATES2.BAM in the override folder.
I don't know exactly from which module and how it happens. But if you replace them by the ones in attachment, the issue seems to be gone. At least, it works for me.
Here is a fix that works with the SCS IWD component STATES.BAM file.
Basically replace all '233' with nil and add the new label to the character menu.
Also status effect icons and names are now better aligned with each other.

Thanks.

Add an option to continue conversations on space key (issue)
You need to change the Baldur.lua file manually, add the following line to it:
SetPrivateProfileString('Game Options','Disable Space Key In Conversations','0')
The second zip file also contains inventory changes, no need to click twice anymore, but when you hover an inventory slot you also select the character it belongs to. Switching characters with hotkeys now puts an overlay over currently hovered inventory slots, preventing from clicking on them, since it would actually click on a corresponding slot of the newly selected character.
I don't have EET installed, so I didn't test it, but I only changed the code common with BG2, so it should work.
Sorry for the noob question, where exactly am i supposed to extract those files?
I put them in the override folder in the main game folder, and it didnt have an effect - still red markings on the Record screen, enhanced dialog position didnt save etc etc..
@StoneSwords I think either works. Though I am still trying to figure out how to get it working with EET and SCS in a way that allows the fine tune difficulty button to be there. Especially with only the override version for EET. I got it to work with the weidu installer on an BGEE installation, by installing the dragonspear UI before all the other stuff.
Edit: Never mind, installing the UI before SCS seems to cause some weird errors and crashes.
@Quitschi I kind of wish they'd hurry up and incorporate this into the EET installer officially, because as of right now, it doesn't show up as compatible on the list in the installer
@Quitschi Do I drop it in the Sod override or BG2:EE override? Or is there another override for EET? And it should work after everything else has been installed?
@StoneSwords There should only be one override folder in the BG2:EE directory you installed EET to. After the EET installation the SOD folder doesn't matter any more, at least not for the EET.
Ok, got it installed in my EET game, and the only nitpick I have is that for some reason I can scroll about half of my 32 inch screen width past the edge of the map on any side. Not game breaking at all though, so I'm satisfied. Thank you for the clean looking UI @Pecca
I have finally finished BG1 EE + SoD, this UI made the experience much smoother!
There is one thing I noticed when playing: scrolling the text while in classic dialogue mode would either cut/crop the last line of dialogue (just before the dialogue options), or add a lot of spaces before the dialogue options. Sometimes the scrolling would work correctly though, but I could not figure out why.
The Portrait picker is just not showing any, not sure why.
I have the same. And since i can't pick portrait, i can't create character. Also tooltips in options don't match. When i hightlight "Sprite outlines" i got "How long will you cause pain the person you love - Ajantis".

Generate a Random Character of the gender you want, go back to race selection and make the character you want then EEKeeper the portrait you want.
Yeah its less then ideal but untill the new version is updated and has an installer that's just the way its going to be.
@Etamin sorry, I completely forgot base portrait picker being dependant on Weidu. Fortunately, you can use Multiportrait picker option in UI++ Settings in the meantime.
There's really only one thing I miss in this UI and that's my sorc's spells per day amount being in the mage book. I understand why it's not there and I can just check it otherwise but it was a nice clean way to know how many spells I had left.
How do I install this on top of EET? The download in the first link refuses to install. It simply says "BGEE not found, skipping" and placing the ui.menu file in the override directory just breaks the game.

Hrm, I just tried that and it mostly works. There are some weird graphical issues in the character record page. Some sort of icon is showing up on the right side, aligned with the buff/debuff icons and repeats all the way down the scren. I also noticed that the difficulty selection is now different than the SCS/EET version.
I'll try to get screenshots sometime of the former issue.
It is possible to add custom background images by putting pictures in PNG format to the override folder named „RGBACK1.PNG“ for Baldur’s Gate main campaign backgrond...
I'm unsure where these files would be and where they need to go. I'd also like to know if there is a way to set it to the BG2 theme, as the SoD version is... not great.
Lastly, would there be a way just to alter the character record page and the inventory setup? Really, just those two things would be awesome.
I'm on a heavily modded EET game, just tried to install this UI mod and i'm getting a M_SQMENU.lua and M_SQTOOL.lua error when starting BG2. The game looks fine and working, but how do i know if i'm at risks of crashes/errors?

Try to use files uploaded by meowdog few posts above.
Hey, I decided to try this mod on BG2EE but noticed a weird bug happening on the display options screen in my game, all the options' descriptions on the right, starting on the hardware mouse option, show random and unrelated text, and the "allow scroll" and "nearest neighbour" show no description at all. Since I couldn't find any mention of this here, I thought it might be something wrong in my game, but I even reinstalled and it's still the same. If this is normal, I don't really care, but if it isn't, I'm afraid of what else can it be affecting in my game so I would prefer to not use it.
To fix the portrait picker without weidu create override/m_bg.lua:
BGImages = {
-- Example entry, edit or remove it:
{"display name", "D", "filenameL"},
-- Display name can be anything, doesn't have to be unique.
-- Gender has to be exactly one of M/F/D (case-sensitive)
-- Filename is specified without ".bmp" suffix, the file has to be present
-- in your portraits folder, otherwise the game FREEZES.
-- If there is an "L" at the end, e.g. "filenameL", "filenameM.bmp" will be
-- used as a small portrait in the right sidebar, if the file exists.
}
You don't need any entries if you don't have any custom portraits, the default ones will be there, but the BGImages table must be defined.
Does anyone know how to get the EET worldmap to display properly? When I pull it up it's hanging off the screen. Is there a way to restore the EET framework style for the world map? I like the full widescreen look of it the way it is but it's the only element of this UI right now that doesn't feel polished. Maybe there is a tweak that I could use to force the map to come up centered somehow?

Thanks.

And new game->import character file->back->back gets you stuck in the character creator, but allows for the game to start, resulting in this:

I am attaching two screenshots to show this:
Does anyone know why this happens?
Thanks a lot, this is super useful. Will use this for my BG2 playthrough!

Don't install this mod. Just download this and put it in override folder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1efVryTUkKHCWSWIHQ-0XkbkNYp9M9K6c/view
