For this mod, the base game afaik is IWD2, not IWD:EE, right?
In any case, if Beamdog show any interest, you people could sell the work to them, so they can release this as a DLC for IWD:EE, using the same system of SoD or Black Pits to change between the games.
Hello, awesome job on the EE! Do have a question however, When once downloaded, (i have) do i just extract the files into the iwd2 folder? Actually i just did that, SO do i run the compatability patch first then iwdee setup or the other way around??
- Thanks-
UPDATE : Nevermind... I found out my answer Installing now. Can't wait, I love the Icewind Dales
Hello guys, first of all thank you for this great work!!!
I have a question: are the mods for IWD2 such as (Tweaks Anthology, cdtweaks, Weimer-Merchant, iwd2 fixpack, 1pp, Light of Selune, IWD2Tweaks Pack, Undead Targos, ect...) also compatible with IWD2EE? Is it recommended to use such mods with IWD2EE? Or it is better to play IWD2EE only with Iwd2 Vanilla?
CamDawg has updated Ease of Use, Bonus Merchant, and IWD2 NPC to improve compatability with IWD2EE. Tweaks Anthology (aka cd tweaks) is also compatible.
Please note that the current compatibility patch that comes with IWD2EE, and is required for using mods alongside it, has a bug that should be fixed in the next release. In the meantime, you can use the compatibility patch included in a previous release as a workaround.
It is great to replay the game, such a good holiday experience. Thanks.
Is it possible to play the game in window mode? I have tried to simply change it in the configuration option and choose a lower resolution, but it gives a black full screen.
Thanks!
Wonderful and fantastic Work after waiting years, i am proud that i never lost my Original CD Game...my next Game after ending Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor...and now also my list of Enhanced Edition Games ist complete
Greetings! I can't add a Vrek to the group. Please tell me what are the conditions for a positive dialogue with him? No matter what I do, no matter what characters I take, the troll only attacks after dialogue. At the same time, Veira joined without any problems.
If I'm reinstalling the newest version, do I also need to re-run the mod compatibility patch again if I have other mods ?
And also, is the improved initiative feat that was always broken fixed with the EE ? I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that it was and started giving it to party members.
@OlvynChuru ...great Work here...i have a question, since the Release in November last Year from the Game there are some Updates...but i see it only through the Edit of the first entry here and i not see what is updated...is it possible to notice this in this Forum? ...Thanks for all
First of all many thanks for doing this outstanding work. This is one of the games that I've been periodically playing since my childhood and have so many good memories with it.
I'd like to ask if you're planning to do any localizations? I am Polish and I'd be honored to translate this game into Polish for free
Will the multiplayer ever function properly at some point? Would love to play this with my cousin as we've played all the other games together. Regardless, thanks for making this mod!
I've used Soul Bind to successfully generate soul bound gems. However, when I use the gem, I'm only given options to release the soul or charge an item. Nothing about increasing a stat. Am I missing something?
I'm on version 3.2.5 and have no other mods installed.
Edit - I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but I was able to use the gems without issue recently. I could use them after resting. I think it wasn't working while my stats were buffed from spells.
Since this doesn't work with multiplayer, any clues on how to reform my party? I made a serious mistake when creating one of my party members and I would like to either change his attributes or replace him.
oh wow I just was talking about this in my own topic! its finally released! Congrats and thank you for reviving this scarred chapter of the series!
Also I have a few questions, during your time opening up the game did you find any other unused content aside from the spells that have been re-implemented? Also what are your thoughts on these unused spells being not being used in the final version of the game originally if you can take a guess?
In case it completely slipped anyone else's attention: Apparently they somehow got Josh Sawyer (the original dev) to play through the EE mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3hiC3GinQQ
Interesting design commentary for sure. I wonder whether he played through the rest of it too.
I'm getting frustrated, and I need help. I followed the instructions, and I didn't see "IWD2EE.exe" anywhere. I wish their was a detailed step by step guide, or a YouTube tutorial on how to do this properly. I really want to play this game.
Hi all,
Would somebody able to tell me how to recruit Xhaan, and Zack Boosenburry? I was able to get Reid and Veira, but for the others I do not have any option to even remotely suggest to them that their life would be so much better had they joined my party. My main has high Diplomacy, Bluff and Intimidate, True Neutral alignment and he is a rogue/ranger. Do Xhaan and Zack require specific alignments/skills/etc? Of course, their quest have been completed. Xhaan just teleports away, Zack just sits there with his stupid spider staring like an idiot.
Thanks for the help!
Hey, it's awesome to see that people care about the IWD series as much as I do! Thank you for all your hard work at creating this.
I'm having trouble getting this to work and I'm hoping someone might be able to lend some advice. I have a fresh install of IWD2. I extracted everything from the IWD2EE zip into the IWD2 folder. I get the following error while trying to run the setup.

I'm kind of lost when it comes to this. My computer skills are very limited. I downloaded WEIDU and put it in my IWD2 folder as well. I'm not sure what to do. If anyone can help I'd be very grateful!

When you unzipped and extracted the EE stuff in the game's folder (Icewind Dale 2), what you should see is :
* folder called IWD2EE (path ...\Icewind Dale 2\iwd2ee)
* second folder called iwd2ee_mod_compatibility_patch
* Setup-iwd2ee.exe
* Setup-iwd2ee_mod_compatibility_patch.exe
* and of course all the folders and files from the original game.

I just started a new playthrough of IWDEE I, so I'm looking forward to continue my journey after that with this release

I'm trying to remove ECL XP penalties for subraces from the following component using Near Infinity :
"Revise racial level adjustment/ECL"
I'm having some troubles with finding the associated 2DA file. Any idea which file it is ?
