Hello, my name is Daniel. I'm going to propose to the most wonderful girl in the world and I need a little help. She's a Baldur's gate freak, she's obsessed with it. So what I wanted to do was create a custom item and put it in her inventory. The item I want is a ring, something epic. something that a spell caster would drool over. In the description I want my proposal. The gist is that if she accepts my proposal she puts the ring on her character. I do have an actual ring but I figured this would be the best way to propose to her. The problem is I've downloaded a few save game editors but none of them allow you to create your own items from scratch. I also know nothing about the scirpt that the program uses for it's items.

If anyone knows anything about custom item creation please either post in this thread or PM me.

Thanks.

Well, we could do a lot of things with an ultimate ring of power. We can make the mage able to cast 12 times the normal amount (up to 30 spells per level), make the casing time zero and aura cleansing instantly(so there is no delay between castings), give the mage a +100 hit points, and make her immune to nearly everything... but that's a bit much perhaps, so at least I would ask some kinds of stats.

If anyone knows anything about custom item creation please either post in this thread or PM me.

The problem is, that even though you put your email address to the post, it's just for a validation purposes, so we can't PM you, or contact you in any other way... and if you join the forum, you'll have to make 5 posts to exceed the PM minimum, as the forum has had a problem with that too(which forum doesn't).

Now personalty I could probably make a mod that does what you request, tomorrow perhaps... but understand it's a bit invasive as the ring will be one of the starting dungeons containers(or you can use a cheat that drops the ring in to the party's inventory which is less invasive, which I'll tell you more later) as long as the mod is installed, and if it's removed, the save games that have the item in the character might fail to load.

And of course I do not have any good .bams for the rings picture in the game, so if you have any interest on what it looks like, I can use any of the games rings and few other resources, but it's most likely will look very bland compared to the real ring.

Well I already know that what effects I'd like the ring to have. As for a problem of the mod causing the games to fail to load, I don't think the mod would be uninstalled at any point. the affects that I'd would like it to have is no casting time and the aura cleansing, a fair amount of extra spell slots (not over kill though). And if it's at all possible a constant effect of improved invisibility as well as the ability to cast time stop 4 times a day.

I'm making an account as we speak.

And viola I have my account. (this is Daniel the OP if that wasn't obvious.)
Also should I post the description I'd like the ring to have?

OK, Jarno, you're on the item?

Have an inventory BAM. 'Carried' icon cring06.bam is a really good match, so no need to make a new one.

If you'd prefer a picture of the actual ring, could you take a closeup photograph of it against a flat black background with good resolution, save it as a GIF file and attach it to a post? I could make a BAM from that for you.

And do you want to have your character give it to her character in a multi-player game? Or would you prefer yourself to appear in her game as an NPC, speak the proposal, and give her the ring if she says yes? Because if you wanted to do that, I'd be happy to write a mod for it... as long as somebody else made the item. Ordinarily, I don't do requests, but this is just so cool. And it's love... Anyway, if you decide to go that route, I'd want a portrait of yourself, JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, whatever, and race/class preferences for your NPC self.

Done.

And she says yes. Thank you, my deepest gratitude to those involved. My Fiancee said there wasn't a better way I could have proposed. Thank you so much again, I will never forget this kindness and the help from you all. Thank you.

I couldn't find my camera to take a pic but it worked out well anyways. I was kind worried it wouldn't turn out well but her reaction exceeded all expectations. Thank you again. Thank you.

Of course if you refuse, I can also take your first born as an alternative. :devil:
