Ah, I must have missed his observation/statement back in 1998/99. The next time I grabbed him in my party was years later (because he never had a personal quest) with UB.
I'm not super concerned about mods in BG1, but for me, Tactics and Ascension though are absolute must-have mods, and if they are incompatible and not updated I will consider it an act of war by Canada.
If you guys can figure out a way to allow mods to the iPad, even if it requires a special packaging tool by the mod-makers (thinking of a Weidu-for-the-iPad sort of thing), I will love you forever.
I just heard from jastey this morning about progress to v14. We've got a couple of new components to add and then we can work on getting it compatible--I don't have an ETA yet.
Also updated the OP with the reports throughout this thread. If anyone hears news on other mods, let me know and I'll do my best to keep the OP up-to-date.
And ShadowKeeper works fine I think I read somewhere?
Since the location of saved games has moved, I don't think it will, but I guess we'll see.
Do you think the game would become confused and depressed if one made a backup save directory in the 'old spot' and used that as a 'transit hall' for ShadowKeeping? Edit: Well, I now realise that there will be other directory issues, but what about copying a save to an install of the original game, edit it, and moving it back to EE?
I was never planning to play the EE at launch, but knowing the Tweaks, the Fixpack and UB are already being adapted is welcome news - these are mods I just couldn't play the game without.
Hoping the Beamdog guys get all the money they need for updating basically the only computer game I ever really play ....
But I hope the universe doles out plenty of extra good times on top of that for the modders who make all my playthroughs a more enjoyable and different experience every time
Nice news that BG2-tweaks and SCS will be quickly available. I will wait for the WeiDu though to get updated before modding. I never play unmodded actually, but I will play BGEE at launch (if I recover from the flu) just out of curiosity. Won't be a real challenge though, I guess, till I've added SCS and Hard Times.
If Hard Times gets updated remains to be seen, maybe the mod author should be given a nudge it's really liked. But I feel too sick now to start looking up what forum he's on and what my login data is there.
Unlimited stacking components are now capped at 999, which should still be more then enough
Why? Now I can't just assign 10000 arrows to everyone and stop worrying about it for the rest of the game.
This also means that buying 16 (max number you can buy at once) stacks of ammo with the increased stacks tweak (120 ammo per stack) will result in two quivers rather than one. Sad panda.
Keep in mind that going forward we'll be patching BG:EE for both bugs and content, if everyone and their dog ends up "needing" a specific mod we'll examine it for inclusion.
First, in order to even get mods to install while we wait for a new version of WeiDU, follow the instructions in this thread to enable mod installation for Windows and OS X.

Ok. thank you very much for t he quick response. and the link. but since i already stopped understanding what that link tried to explain me to do i think i wait in hope that there will be a more comfortable or...direct way to install it. Seriously, i'd be too worried to fuck up my bgee installation by messing with it. Still, thanks tho.
edit: and the only thing i REALLY want from that fixpack is the levelcap remover. i hate levelcaps. passionately.
Someone asked if Shadowkeeper was working. At base, it doesn't. But you can get it to work like a champ if you follow these ten steps:
1) Open "...Documents\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\"
2) Copy "baldur.ini", "characters", and "saves"
3) Open "...Program Files\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\00766[or whatever number it is]\"
4) Paste the three copied files and folders into this directory
5) In this same directory, open "lang\en_us\" (or whatever language you're intending to use)
6) Copy "dialog.tlk"
7) Return to the root "\00766\" directory
8) Paste the copied "dialog.tlk" file into this directory
9) Open Shadowkeeper, and set the installation directory to the "\00766\" folder. (The program will yell at you because it's not BG2, but that's fine).
10) Restart Shadowkeeper.
Everything should work just dandy, although the displayed portraits will be enormous because of the new portrait dimensions. Enjoy!

This calls for ascii hearts:

*thanks for the update though!
There's actually a reason why this was done.

How do I install BGtweak pack to the new BGEE folders? I need unlimited stacking too.
How do I enable the console in BG:EE's new ini? Its totally different to BG1's ini.
What is the item code for bags of holding in BGEE?
