Seven mods that include new mods and updates of older mods have been uploaded to TheWizard's servers. I will advise on actual public availability of the mods in this thread, pending TheWizard updating the servers.

Update: Mods are now publicly available.

Mirrors (America HTTP) (Asia FTP) (Asia HTTP) (Canada HTTP)
(Europe HTTP)

1) BGT-WeiDU 1.00 released! The massive number of changes are too numerous to reproduce here. See the (BGT-WeiDU v0.99 Updated ZETA bug thread for a comprehensive report.

2) Baldur's Gate Trilogy-Never Ending Journey 2 (BGT-NeJ2) Compatibility Modification v1 released! Written by Vlad, optimised and tested by Ascension64. It is more of a Vlad's pack than simply a compatibility 'patch', hence the use of the word 'modification' instead.

Five components make up this modification. The components are:
1. BGT-NeJ2 Compatibility Patch: this is required for full compatibility between BGT-WeiDU and NeJ2
2. Custom Portraits For Imoen and Jaheira: self-explanatory
3. Boo - Minsc's Familiar Fixes: this component contains bug fixes for the NeJ2 component "Boo - Minsc's Familiar"
4. Custom Firewalker Kit for Shar-Teel: this adds a new custom kit for Shar-Teel and allows her to transfer to Irenicus' dungeon with the player upon transition from Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast to Shadows of Amn
5. Merchant League Store: this is a BGT-WeiDU tweak that adds containers to Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast, and allows the purchasing of 'banknotes' that can be redeemed for gold pieces in Athkatla

3) BGT Tweak pack v3 released! Double the amount of components, some big, some small, but all there to please. Support for two-and-a-half more languages have also been added.

Changes:
- Added compatibility checks for various components
- Added component ?Altered spawns?
- Added component ?Arkion reacts to player?s reputation?
- Added component ?Bags of the Sword Coast?
- Added component ?Coran responsds to the death of a wyvern?
- Added component ?Give Vax and Zal bandit scalps?
- Added component ?Hooded unarmoured mages and thieves?
- Added component ?Random activated traps in the pirate cave?
- Added component ?Remove item shattering?
- Added French translation
- Added Italian translation
- Added Russian translation
- Component ?Tougher Sarevok and Semaj? now allows importation of Semaj?s cloak into Shadows of Amn
- Fixed a bug where Angelo would appear in the prison even if Shar-teel was not in the party
- Updated to WeiDU (BiggDU) v190

Known Issues:
- Italian translation incomplete (only the prompts during installation are affected)

4) Indira NPC for BGT-WeiDU updated to v7.1! Minor changes that won't affect non-Russian users I guess.

Changes:
- Added Russian translation
- Corrected installation component reference to BGT-WeiDU
- Updated to BiggDU v190

5) The Lure of the Sirine's Call for BGT-WeiDU updated to v4.2! Again for the Russians, but also has an important bugfix.

Changes:
- Added Russian translation
- Corrected Ardrouine's reward
- Corrected language variable for foreign translations
- Updated to BiggDU v190

6) Restored Prologue Textscreen Music updated to v2! The main change is support for BG1TuTu v4 and the one-and-a-half translations. This is because there is no official Italian narration of the prologue.

Changes:
- Added German translation
- Added quasi-Italian translation (uses English sound file)
- Added support for TuTu v4
- Fixed possible problem where backup directory was created in the data directory
- Softened background music to prevent it swamping the narration
- Updated to BiggDU v190

7) Mulgore and Xavia NPCs for BGT-WeiDU updated to v2! The Russians are now thrice as happy, I hope.

Changes:
-Added Russian translation
-Traified for translations
-Updated to BiggDU v190

Again, this is the official announcement that I have uploaded the files to TheWizard. There may be some delay in these mods appearing on the servers, depending on how busy TheWizard is. So, please be patient (I know it will be very hard to be...).

Enjoy!

Alright, I gotta ask this question. Is a BGT-BP game with Nej2 possible now? Or do I still have to wait?

Btw, Awesome Ascension. Thanks a bunch!

I know that I have already commented on BGT-WeiDU 1.00 above and I know that this is gonna look like I am sucking on A64 pretty badly but I can't help thinking, every time I just even look at A64's HTML Read mes, how damn professional he can make things look like.

It's really amazing the care and precision not to mention dedication that this guy puts in all his releases. Again, my most sincere congratulations to him!! :Bow: :Bow: :Bow:

I find it's always important to ensure you have a top-notch readme written long before you start making a mod.

These mods are now available at the SHS mirror. Sorry for the two-week delay in uploading to that mirror.

Also, for those who do not already know, the mods were also updated (much more promptly than SHS) at Dragonshoard Download Center.

(About freaking time, you say... :devil: )
