Baldur's Gate App

On the Google Play Store, there is an app you can downlaod that's a refernece sheet for all things Baldur's Gate. It states what having X on given stat does, the class kits and a small descripition of each, requirements for specialist mages, XP charts for leveling for the classes, spell books for both divine and arcane, level progression for spells, and recently added: stats for basic arms & armor.

It is free, and I remember just typing "Baldur's Gate" and it being either the first or second result. It's good for either BGI or BGII so I'd highly recommend it to maximize your PC.

Note: My friend has an IPhone and couldn't find it. Not sure if Apple doesn't allow it, or it's still going through processing. Thanks @Anton for giving me the link to post it to the top.

    I found this app, it seems very useful.
    There are many tables and I think all spells.
    In the future they will add more tables.
    I do not know if it is also available for Apple.
    Try it! :)

    From Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cdsalmon.bgref&hl=it

    Ho trovato questa app, sembra molto utile.
    Ci sono molte tabelle e credo tutti gli incantesimi.
    In futuro aggiungeranno altre tabelle...
    Non so se è disponibile anche per la Apple.
    Provatela! :)

    Now that's one cool app, very handy indeed. Almost makes me wish to own an Android smartphone.

    The app on Android is called "Baldur's Gate Reference".

    Just downloaded and it is great! Could do with a bit more meat though.

    I'll admit that it does, but it is handy to have all that info right next to you inside of minimizing BG and opening the internet. It does update quite regularly (about every 2 weeks) and it does get fixed really soon if it does need it. Hope it helps.

    Yep definately agree that it is handy to have on phone for quick reference. Looking forwards to the updates :)

    i downloaded that a while ago too, could do with some updating and bits are plain wrong, but the spells section is quite handy.

    another great one (on android at least) baldur's gate nostalgia soundboard, with some (could do with more) soundbites from across the trilogy

    a great support when you're determined not to play BG until the BGEE comes out

    It is a great little app. I have even e-mailed it's creator about a few things and he had the courtesy to e-mail back! Nice guy.

    He makes it very clear that it is not finished yet. So meat, as it were, is being added all the time. It is regularly updated. By the time BG:EE comes out. There may be new updated tables. I am pretty sure CS will update again!

    If you have an Android, download it now!
  • VirsalusVirsalus Member Posts: 45
    Wow, that sounds awesome. Does this have some sort of web presence to support the creator or something like that?
  • EudaemoniumEudaemonium Member Posts: 3,199
    I hope that comes out on an apple product at some point. It would be really handy!
  • WigglesWiggles Member Posts: 571
    I don't have a tablet, but you could check to see if it's on Android tablets. That'd be real nice to have for those that play on tablets.

    Sounds good hopefully it will be on iOS soon.
  • sepottersepotter Member Posts: 367
    I like it. It will be really good when it's done.
  • Son_of_ImoenSon_of_Imoen Member Posts: 1,806
    Great find. The author inside the app put a question to ask if you think something should be included. Have to think about that. For now, it looks like already a good start, looking forward for updates!

    - an iOS version won't be happening any time in the foreseeable future. I need a MacBook to develop for Apple, and I won't be spending thousands of dollars on a machine that allows to continue a hobby that I barely have time for. Sorry!

    Find someone else who would be willing to do it?

    Hi! I'm the creator of the app - I got given this thread link via email so I thought I'd say hello. Don't believe me? My registration email for this forum is the same as the email I use on Google Play. Still don't believe me? Ah well.

    A few notes on what's been mentioned already:
    - an iOS version won't be happening any time in the foreseeable future. I need a MacBook to develop for Apple, and I won't be spending thousands of dollars on a machine that allows to continue a hobby that I barely have time for. Sorry!
    - the app should work on Android tablets without any issues, but the layout will be stretched. I'm starting work on landscape layouts already, and proper tabletsupport will come in time.
    - regarding errors: if something is wrong, PLEASE EMAIL ME! I want this app to be as accurate as possible and any suggestions are good suggestions.
    - @ginger_hammer when you say the app needs "more meat", what do you mean specifically?

    Anyway, I'll bookmark this page and come back to it from time to time, but the best way to contact me directly is via email (can do this through the Google Play listing). Thanks for reading, and thanks for using the app!

    All hail the creator!!

    @PalaNIN thanks for taking time out on these boards. In terms of additional functionality for your app I was thinking along the lines of:

    -Multiclass options
    -Alignment restrictions
    -Additional info on attributes, such as 20+ consitution regenerates, hit points per class, etc
    -I can't seen to scroll horizontally on the existing tables?
    -Expanded weapons/items
    -Weapon proficiencies and who gets them at what level, what they do, etc

    Obviously there is a lot to cover in BG but you deserve respect for getting the app together (I'm a developer too). Nice job and keep up the good work!

    Downloaded.

    I like the somewhat barebones approach. It's an information tool which is all I would want. I'm sure as time goes on more info will be updated into it.

    Perhaps you may use your android dev skills in porting Shadowkeeper to android devices? If author of the mighty tool - Aaron mm@mud-master.com - wouldn't mind of course. A lot of us would love this to happen.
  • mlnevesemlnevese Member, Moderator Posts: 10,214
    Aaron already gave permison for anyone wanting to maintain/port the code in one of the old threads about Shadowkeeper.
  • sepottersepotter Member Posts: 367
    It's true, the source code for shadowkeeper is available and everything, we just need to find somebody to actually do it. Of course, it'll most likely have to wait for post release of bgee, so we will know HOW it would have to be modified, and then naturally from that point it would have to be modified further to Android, and depending on @PalaNIN 's skills, we may have to wait for somebody else to modify it for the enhanced edition, and then he take that to the android. Thoughts?
  • AntonAnton Member, Moderator, Mobile Tester Posts: 513
    @PalaNIN Does it have content from both BG1 and BG2? (all the items, spells, etc..)
  • WigglesWiggles Member Posts: 571
    @Anton
    In a way ya. It lists all the spells and basic, non-magical/non-artifact, weapons & armor, what the bonuses are when you have ## for a stat, basic descriptions of kits, etc.

    Read first post to learn more.
  • MungriMungri Member Posts: 1,645
    Too bad I have windows phone, but I can just google the tables on playithardcore anyway.
  • AristilliusAristillius Member Posts: 873
    Yey, update :D *loves this app*

    - IMHO Monk should be moved from Priests (classes & kits) to Warriors.
    - In STR (character attributes) column with Bash is outside of the visible screen range, I see only "B" letter (Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660, Android v2.3)
    - In CON info about regeneration is missing. (Update: already reported by @ginger_hammer)
    - In upper menu Stats, Spells/Items, Other buttons should also be clickable I think.
