EE Keeper on ipad?

Gel87Gel87 Member Posts: 158
Hello :)

Im new to this forum :)

I recently downloaded bg2 EE to my ipad, i cleared out all i could in chapter 3(including 2 dragons), exept for a lich i helped and wasen't able to kill, but ofc i can't use the casyomyr +5 sword i got when i killed firekraag dragon, because i killed the only paladin ingame.(i started as a mage), and since i was so clever to deliver his body to the crowled wizards i cannot enter the planar sphere either and get the other +5 wepon in shadow of amn. Funny how killing 1 man can destroy so much xD

So i really need ee keeper program on my ipad, i tryed to read and understand, it looked like some1 had this wokring on ipad? Im im such a noob on ipads and apple in general that i am not even able to transfer files from a pc to my ipad :P Also, is it possible to transfer folders?

So any1 knows what i can do? Can any1 help me getting this to work on my ipad? Any1 know if ee keeper will come to ipad apple store? :P (i downloaded that ee keeper with app. file)

(p.s any1 know how i can kill that lich wich i have forgotten the name of? My characters are between lvl 12-14, yoshimo is 15 though but ill loose that rat soon) Dragons and other liches i could "snipe" with xxxx death clouds and cloud kill, but when this lich is killed once and enter his true shape he rapes me xD)

    I don't know of anyone who has this working on iPad. Since I'm the one currently working on EE Keeper, I can safely say that my plans to bring it to the iPad natively are on hold. For iPad, your only option is to transfer the saved game to a Windows or Mac computer that also has the required installation, and then transferred back once the desired modifications have been made. My apologies for the inconvenience.

    If you can upload your save game somewhere (I've seen some people mention iFunBox), I can make whatever modifications you want done and then give it back to you.

    Edit: also, I have not read through all of Apples' terms and conditions extensively, but if it is in any way similar to the Google Play Store, they do not allow programs that alter the 'content' of another application. Saved games would classify as content generated by the Baldur's Gate application, and so programs that modify that would be against the terms of service.

    @Troodon80 but you can upload it to Cydia if you make an EEKeeper for iPad...
    Edit: yeah, their are like Google's terms but more strict :/

    Okay :) Thanks a lot for quick responce :D

    Well, i was able to download directly file to ipad(this mac os, but i guess thats an apple pc program), and extracted it, but the ipad diden't reconised the files.

    Anyway i can try to do as you say and transfer the save games from my ipad to my pc. But how do i do this? Does there exist a folder for my bg2EE on my ipad? Where i can transfer either the entire folder or just the save games from? And how do i transfer from ipad to pc? :P I got usb cable. If i need a seperate bg2ee edition for my pc, can i use my fathers steam version? Or can i use bg2 shadow of amn version wich he got on cd-disk? If i wanted to upload the file and then get it to pc and back to ipad again after modifications, could i use something as simple as email then? :P

    @CrevsDaak, I may yet do so, but it will not be for some time.

    I'll leave you to answer any other iPad questions that @Gel87 has since I'm not familiar with the workings of iOS. :-)
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    @Troodon80 don't worry, I'm OK with waiting :) and yeah, @Gel87 if you have some questions just summon me with @CrevsDaak, I'm very active in the forums but I don't tend check everything.

    The lich is kangaxx, yes? i just spent a whole day reloading and trying to kill him with the same level party you have. I got the lich to near death by hella cheesing, having jan set three traps, rest, set tree more traps and I eventually hit a limit. If you have Yoshimo you could probably kill him immediately with bounty hunter traps. Then comes the hard part, the demilich and the imprisonment. I found the only way to do damage was to use Rassads sun soulray, which knocks him out with three hits or so because of the extra damage to undead. to distract the imprisonment spells you need Arie(only because she comes with it, anyone works) to cast spell immunity: abjuration and that will make you immune to imprisonment and very satisfied. on the ipad spell imunity is hard to cast because you don't know what school you're selecting. abjuration is the very first one that pops up. I also had to cheese the stairs and wait for his protection from magical weapons wear off.

    Okay :D How do i summon you? :P
    Well, since im so bad with ipad im not able to inspect/explore apps. Like forexample even finding any savegame files in the BG2EE app. Im also not able to bring the files from my ipad to my pc/mail etc. I tryed out dropbox, and another program that could send apps/files from ipad to dropbox or via network, but my pc dident find the ipad ;d

    Im now downloading ibrowse on my laptop, trying to see if i can get some baldurs gate stuff over here.

    So could you make a step by step list for me how to find the savegame files, how to send it from ipad to pc, and then how to send them back when i'm done modify them with ee keeper? :D

    @meagloth

    Yes thats the guy, i rape his first shape without even him touching me with mage alone casting 3-4 death clouds. But when he comes in his skeleton head shape(demilich) i cant even touch him and he imprisson all my characters until i loose. But i can try this tactic. Im the mage class wich specifies in elemental raw dmg. Arie is not in my team. I use my mage (conjuer??) Zylar, Minsk, Korgan, Jaheira, Amoen, Yoshimuto wich i just lost and replaced with imoen. Most my characters are lvl 12, my mage as well :) So if Rassads sun soulray is a lvl 7 mage spell or higher i cannot use that yet, max spells atm is lvl 6. That is if thats an mage spell, or is it an priest spell? :) I have so far tryed +3 wepons, lighting, fire, poison, magic missle dmg, skull trap, cloud spells and so on, nothign seems to hit him xD I also tryed several lower resists spell(the llv 6 spell) and the lvl 5 spell breach, it doesent help ;d

    Edit:

    Looks like this ibrowse works, i now actually found the save files with a windows pc, using a something im used to work with.

    Now i just need to get BG2EE installed on this pc and put the quick save folder there? Then i can modify and somehow send back? :) I think i can just copy it back, unless EE keeper change the file type into something ipad probarly will refuse? xD

    Will ee keeper be able to open/import/modify this file? :)

    Anyway, see example picture :)

    @Gel87 take out the folder 000000, some numbers and the save game's name, zip/rar it and use the attach s file option of the forums that is under the comment box.

    @Gel87
    Maybe I misunderstood, but if you are looking for a weapon to hit kangaxx, you can use Daystar (a hidden door in the tavern in the City Gate district), or Mace of distruption +2 (mace of distruption is in a pool in Bodhi's lair, you can upgrade to +2 with the illithium if you didn't use it for a quest), or a staff +4 you can purchase in Adventurer's Mart.

    @CrevsDaak
    I already took out the quicksave to my pc. Since that was the newest save.
    Okay, so u mean i can upload it here on forum? And then i can pick it up on other pc with BG2EE installed?
    I also can email it right? But can i use steam version of BG2EE edition? Or can i buy the game online somehow?

    Okay i can look for this daystar if i not already got it ;D Perhaps i sold it dno xD
    About the Mace of distruption i choose bodi's side, i dont know if i have found any illitium yet? I also have a +1 sword of earth fire or smt, thats a +5 vs undead, still dont hit ;d I guess i can search in bodi's lair? But i have moved on now and is in spellhold atm, do u even get the chance to travel back later? I can't remember that xD

  • Gel87Gel87 Member Posts: 158
    Btw, i now copy the entire bg2ee from ipad to pc, ill try to modify there :)
  • Gel87Gel87 Member Posts: 158
    Well im not able to find BG2EE after copying the entire app ;D

    Can you guys edit this file in EE keeper? I zipped it now :)
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    @Gel87 I'll take a look now :)
  • meaglothmeagloth Member Posts: 3,806
    @gel87, sorry, I don't think I fully explained. Rassad is the sun soul monk you can add to your party in trademeet, and sun soul ray is a ability that sun soul monks have. If you don't have rassad, then You need a +4 weapon to hit the demilich form. You might have a weapon that has an extra bonus that hits as +4 to undead. I had the burning earth +1, but I don't remember where I got that. Don't even try to cast spells on him, he immune, not resistant to magic. Also, a conjurer doesn't specialize in damage, conjure means summon, and it doesn't make a difference anyway. Any specialist Mage get 1 extra spell per level, and can't cast spells from one school. No more, no less.

    Ah ye i understand, once was going solo with monk i bg2, very effective, 1 stroke down dragons with monk albility etc :D

    I have burning earth +1 :) I had that one equipped, but this lich rapes me never the less, ill try to go back later :P I could try to fuck him with death spells? Is he immune to that?

    @Gel87 what do you want me to edit in your save game? I've missed it with all my RL business.

    I wanted to put the daoymyr +5 sword on minsk(it's paladin only, but i have used the old shadow keeper some years ago and i think it's possible to put items on character even if they cannot use it, by using ee keeper?
    I also wanted the +5 hammer/mace wich adds 25str etc on anomen.

    Since i killed the only paladin possible to join my team and gave his body to the crowled wizards before i entered the spere i destroyed both my chances to use +5 wepons in shadow of amn xD

    I also need the key to the cult in the sewer's, because i did never found that one in windspear hill's.

  • Gel87Gel87 Member Posts: 158
    And i want the boots with faster movement rate on every char ;D

    The one you killed was ranger as I remember. There is a paladin you could recruit in sewer.

  • Troodon80Troodon80 Member, Developer Posts: 4,110
    @CrevsDaak, did you get around to doing this? If not, I'll do it shortly.
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    @Troodon80 my bad! I'll do it now, I've forgot T^T about this
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    Here it is, I've added the requested items and moved the ones Minsc and Anomen already had to Imoen's inventory.

    You have to go to the Svirfneblin city and do a quest for them. Then you can go to the dragon's lair.
