Note: Todd is destined to grow if I find another set full of compatible items to add to his inventory. For that i need:
1. Medieval (no laser, gun, computer technology, etc....)
2. BG2 compatible (no mana regeneration, area of effect increase, critical hit multiplier, etc)
3. A large database of at least 50 doable items.
If you have any ideas, don't hesitate.

Any suggestions?

deratiseur

Oups. Sorry. the up is for BG2(EE) only. I have to change something in the tp2. Thanks for the advice.

Archive re-uploaded.

Brokenkatana

Thanks, it installs fine now.

Ravandel

I don't see any new mechant in Kuldahar's Tavern.

deratiseur

Oups. misstyped area code. Fixed and reuploaded. again

If you don't want re-download, simply change "AR21110.BCS" to "AR2111.BCS" in the tp2 and reinstall.

Aedan

Congratulations for this release!
May I suggest you to post some images or the item list on the OP?

Ravandel

Ok got him, thx : )

Jirkislo

Where exactly Todd Is in dock district ? I have searched the whole area and it seems like he Is nowhere to find. Thanks

Endarire

@deratiseur May we get a version of this on the EET system installer?

deratiseur

Todd is at the south of the docks, near the harper's buiding.

deratiseur

Todd Work with EET. He is "duplicated", that all.

deratiseur

Todd has been updated to v9. What new ?
Todd has now a place in the Black pits I & 2.
Correction of the double usability texts on EE editions.
Tood is now a true Dunmer, no more a drow (hairs and skin recolored).

Endarire

Thankee for clearly marking the intended platforms for this mod!

May we still get this added to the EET mod compatibility list for ease of discovery?

Yes, you can. And you can also add this and this and this to the list If they are not already there.

I'm not sure right now if you can get to at least 50*, but you probably could fish an interesting selection in the Final Fantasy series. The first game was heavily inspired by tabletop games so some of the recurring equipment are equivalents of what you can already find in D&D, but it still have plenty of things you can poach: the Ribbon, the elemental and Aegis shields, the Genji armor set, the Chicken Knife, Excalibur, Excalipoor**, Defender, Ragnarok, the different Ultima Weapons, the different Relic Weapons sets... And even most of the technological equipment except maybe from FFVIII is mostly about how it's created or as a way to produce magical effects.

*Would that be necessary? Seems like imposing a "at least this much work" rule for yourself.
**This reminds me, if you were so inclined, it would even be incredibly easy to justify including the FF's version of Gilgamesh, as he's a multidimensional castaway and weapon collector.

deratiseur

Why not? Tood is a mod whose principle opens it up to all possibilities. I'll see if I can find a complete wiki on all FF items combined. Thanks for the idea.

The Fandom site seems well stocked, although there might be better fanpages or wikis.

https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Weapon_(equipment)
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Armor_(equipment)
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Accessory
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Recurring_equipment

These sections might be a good enough start , for both common and unique weapons; if you go down to "References" and open up "[Type] Weapons" you can see a load of links for each item. Most recurring items can change from one game to another, so the sane thing is probably to just pick on the most interesting version or on the overall theme.

For example, with the FF5 Sealed Weapons we have twelve endgame weapons that should be fairly easy to translate to the Infinity Engine.
The original FF6 Valiant Knife doing more damage the less HP the user has could be a fun gimmick for warriors and frontline rogues.
Defender tends to be a mid-high tier sword with both passive and/or use protection in most games. Could be, what, maybe a +3 or +4 sword with AC and casts of Blink or Armor of Faith? Could be a two handed alternative to Defender of Easthaven.
And maybe something interesting could be done with the FF6 Cursed Shield concept.

I don't know how much the FF and D&D/Baldur's Gate fandoms overlap, but might be useful asking for opinions somewhere like the respective reddits. It could help filter the chaff and boring from what could end up being interesting or fun.

deratiseur

okay. but not just yet, right now I'm super busy with my spells/store/blacksmith mod which takes a theoretically infinite amount of time ^^

Connelly

Of course, sorry if I seemed pushy, I was just wondering a bit. There's no rush at all for anything. :P
