For me, the most critical things are 1 (no scaling) and 3a (no gibberlings, gnolls and dogs). If that could be done, that's a dream-come-through mod right there

Easy, just use the vanilla BGT-weidu spawns, AND JUST DO NOT SAVE ... the spawn points won't throw a mix of creatures into the same spot so long as you won't save your game.

@ LUD: tx for your suggestions.

 

BUT, please kindly note that most of the features you're suggesting are already present in my mod (it is completely random and it has a quite variety of possible spawn per any possible level the party could ever be).

 

Also my mod tries, for what I could and I felt fair, to spawn appropriate creatures in appropriate areas (that means undead in some areas and during night only time, animals close to town, etc...).

 

It's true I added BG2 creatures, but ONLY where appropriate and it is quite fair as the mod requires BGT so a full game where you can take the advantage of BG2 features.

 

For example I disagree in having ALL the possible monsters able o spawn everywhere, it's a nonsense to me.

 

Again, I appreciate any suggestion, but I see most of your input already implemented and some other unrealist or really hard to implement or add.

 

Cheers!

Also please regarding 3a of your point: Please that will never happen in my game. Please let me know where did u notice that as it's a bug eventually, but never been the case so far.

 

Tx again,

Are you recreating the .cre files and checking their stats(the assigned creature level) ? I only ask cause the SCS can be really punishing if you run into a 30th level mage... that say was actually just capable of casting magic missiles on the original game but... As now he has a full spell book and all the spells memorized.
I am not aware that the BGSpawns has this fault... every mod should look out for it.

Yep, there's the mage/thief(10/9) Borda in the Xvart village(ar4700) in the original BG1 game that was selling a few scrolls... he is way overpowered, especially as the SCS tends to give the +2 mage levels on top of the original char. So now instead of the Shield, Horror, Magic missiles and Melf's Acid arrows, he throws down Protection from Magic Weapons, Ice Storm and Sun Fire or Summon Monsters III.
 

Also please regarding 3a of your point:

It happens in BGT-weidu's normal spawn system after you save and reload the saves a few times in the same area... it is because the already spawned creatures do not occupy the spawn point/tricker at the time the game loads the area.

[melkor_morgoth75]

Still would love to see a less intrusive, subtler version of this mod that results in something a bit closer to the original BG1 gameplay/balance; until then I'll pass on this mod.

 

Unfortunately that's not the aim of the mod. As it has been thought with BGT in mind and the chance to use many mods around, the real aim is just to give some more challenging but realistic spawns instead of the fixed (and boring) ones in the original game.

 

If you look for some encounter as it was in original BG1 (so fixed creatures) I'm sorry but I fear this mod is not for you

 

Cheers!

I would like to know why you chose using scripts instead of ARE spawn points, as I will be doing something... similar, I guess, in the future.

Well,

 

lot of years passed since I wrote the mod, honestly what I recall is just that I used as template the old BgTutu spawn system for that and it was easier even to implement with BGT ... sorry but I'm missing modding for very long time now even if I'm still from time to time around

no one to convert this mod for BG EE ?

[The Imp]

There are BWP fixes available for this mod. 

It might be helpful to point to the fix in the BWS fixpack files...or where ever you find the thing, so people don't need to go look around their buts to find what's where.

Hi, I've updated the BGSpawn mod to work with EET. A little more involved than just updating the tp2 file, so patching it may be a pain though

Hi,

 

I've checked your updated version of BGSpawn on a fresh EET installation, and I am facing a problem ; all the intermaps "you have been waylaid..." are systematically empty, with no enemy.

Anybody facing same problem?

[Endarire]

Is this mod natively EET compatible?  If not, that's a likely problem.

Could you please tell me how that is a problem ?

It's said in this very thread that this is a BGT-weidu mod, nothing else... as in, don't make assumptions. And please stop filling forums full of fullish requests of EET compatibility confirmations, it's a waste of time, when you could yourself just install the mod and try to play and find out for yourself and others, and then confirm such in a post you would normally post the request at. And just say, "This mod installs on EET, natively." or the like.
