Hi, we introduce new mod: BG1 Icons pack mod.

It contains new images for quest items and plot items in Bg1 EE.
In Bg2 almost all the quest items have unique images, while in Bg1 they look like common miscellaneous items. For example "Invitation to Ducal Palace" looks like ordinary letter. This mod brings unique icons for 24 quest items and plot items in BG1: both for inventory and description window. All the images were made by artist specially for this mod.

Before mod:

With mod:

Full list of quest and plot items with new images can be found in Readme.

Works with BG1 EE and EET. Doesn't work with vanilla BG1.

Credits:
Alexander12 – idea, drafts, and BAM-files.
Many thanks to @paladin84 for installation files, code and making this mod playable.
Artwork for new icons done by Moteelde.

If you like this mod and this idea, and you would like to support and thank, there are ways to do so in Readme.eng. I would be very grateful. As it took a lot of time and the artist worked for a fee. Thank you. :)

    They look great! Cloned items have always been one of my nitpicks, it will certainly become a must in my playthroughs.

    I am playing BG right now and at the same time checking how your mod works. "Gorion's Scroll" which you find at the very beginning of the game, still have generic icon.

    There are 2 Gorion's scrolls in the game. The first one on his body doesn't mean much. The second one is more important, especially in the mods. The second one is touched by the mod.

    By the way, do you have any plans to expand your mod? When I saw Hull sword's new icon, I realized how vanilla icons lack details.

    Not sure yet. And i think that it is good when quest items and magical items have unique icons. While ordinary items can have ordinary icons. If you like icons with details you can check my another mod with new items - Arcane treasury

    It looks visually good, but I don't like mods which add new content.
  • Wagner235Wagner235 Member Posts: 16
    Found another one.
    South of Beregost, when you kill those Half Ogres, one of them drops a scroll for Mirianne. It's a quest item, but still uses generic icon.rneolko2ep3d.jpg

    Please read the description and the readme carefully. "This mod brings unique icons for 24 quest items and plot items in BG1: both for inventory and description window. Full list of quest and plot items with new images can be found in Readme".
    I did not promise to make icons for all the items. i did for all main items i could remember. So thanks for this info, maybe later i will add it if i make version 2. This letter i actually forgot.
