BG2 has a critical flaw. It lacks portable holes.

Until you install this mod. >>>>>  portablehole.zip   469.89K   851 downloads

Guaranteed to make your game at least 20% more awesome, plus, it's convenient.

Here is the full readme:

This mod adds a portable hole to Ribald's store.

And that's all it does.

(Other than removing a critical flaw in BG2, namely the lack of portable holes.)

No dragons, undead or +5 axes included.

You'll need to start a new game if you've already visited Ribald. Or not, since you can just create the item with the console (as JL#HOLE).

Warranty void if seal is broken.

And no, you can't put it in a bag of holding.

...modding: it's more fun than doing laundry.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't make the laundry go away.

[EDIT] Updated with Russian translation. No other changes.

Oh come on, you got to let it be put into a bag of holding or vice versa. What's the point of a portable hole if you can't tear holes in the space-time continuum?

[Icendoan]

Nope, it is a new BAMed BoH, so nothing special.

Well... you can keep stuff in it?

Rifts in the space-time continuum cause plot holes. The galactic council gave me a strict warning about that the last time it happened, so I'm not going to take any chances. Faerun is unstable enough as it is.

Nope, it is a new BAMed BoH, so nothing special.

A BoH with a new bams and description. That's hard work, I'll have you know. I had to click this button like 20 times.

[Icendoan]

Hah, hard work?

Question, how many items can we store in the Portable Hole, until it's going to keep them. (the old bottomless bag bug that the items begin to disappear)

[Icendoan]

Exactly the same as the BoH, except that any BoH Tweaks won't apply to the item.

Are you sure? As I remember that the BoH Tweak uses a *.sto code to update the bags to whatever one wants(0 being the bottomless), if installed after The Portable Hole mod.

BEGIN~Make Misc Bags of Holding Bottomless~
COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP GLOB ~^.+\.sto$~ ~override~
READ_LONG 0x08 "itemtype" ELSE 0
PATCH_IF ("%itemtype%" = 5) BEGIN
WRITE_SHORT 0x22 0
END
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

From here.
So I would suggest this fix making the variable as 32767.

It's actually copied from a game with the "bottomless BoH" component from Ease of Use installed, so it should be equally "bottomless" (even if EoU isn't installed). I had no idea that could cause bugs, though - guess I missed that topic back then, and I've never had a problem with it myself.

I'll be changing storage capacity to 32767 as suggested. That's still pretty freakin' big. [edit] Done!

Thanks. Updated.

Yeah, @1 is the name of the mod, which shows up in the "install component" prompt. (@2 is the name of the item in-game, @3 is the item's description. @0 is the version, but it's not actually used.)

[prowler]

Thanks for an update

[Avenger_teambg]

Actually, you can make the bag conversible (itemdial.2da needs a new row, set the conversible flag and create a dialog).

In the dialog you can add the options:
use bag --> does a startstore and works like before
hide in bag --> drops the bag, and moves you to a pocket universe

[vilkacis]

I think you'd need some way to get air inside, though.

Also, it would explode if you had any bags of holding with you.

Please forgive my ignorance , but what is a "portable hole?" Both in general and what the actual item in your mod is & does.

Well, it's an item that you can carry, it's like a bag of holding, but the extra dimentional plane in it doesn't end... so you can put items in it, all the 32000+ ones and take each of them back when you need them.
