This new version is just Wonderful !

The mod installs on Linux without problems after tolower'ing stuff.

Bug : I can confirm that the clock is misplaced in 1024x768 with no widescreen. In 800x600, no such problem.

Do you have RC2?

It should be fixed.

Right. I'm wondering if it's possible to achieve the same results without attempting to patch the game program (since this can't be done under OS X).

Of course engine patching can be done on OSX.

But it is not possible to do what the mod does without.

Erephine, could you explain presence of totally new items like:

Spoiler

Staff,Narbucchad's Demise,PSTAFM2<br>Helm,Circlet of the Archmagi,band04<br>Helm,Eilistraee's Boon +1,band03<br>i found them among the bg2 resources file after installing your mod.

I do not have any other mods besides bg2 fixpack&tweaks and your 1PPv4 mod.

Depending on your install options there are various new items to be found throughout the game. They are there mainly to actually make use of new content: No point in having circlet animations if there are no circlets in the game for instance, and so forth.

Going through the game files/giving them away and where they are found would defeat the fun in exploring and finding them for yourself.

Do you have a plan to add BG1's large shield animation?

+1. I've been wondering the same.

Welcome back, Erphine! And it's good to see that you are active again, supporting 1pp!

[hook71]

Some small typos in RC2.

Spoiler

400_1pp_update_bgii.tph:

Wall of the North +2
Legend has it that this shield was carved from The Great Glacier by a mischievous spirit and found floating floating down the Icelace River.

floating floating -> floating

Viper's Edge +2

THACO -> THAC0

War Flail + 2: The Sleeper

THACO -> THAC0

Narbucchad's Demise +5, Narbucchad's Demise +4, Narbucchad's Demise +3, Narbucchad's Demise +2 and Narbucchad's Demise +1
Driven by paranoia and mistrust, Narbucchad successively eliminated his guard in fear of attempts at assasination, and channelled all of his magic into a weapon after his own that could strike down any foe or number of would-be assailants at a time.

assasination -> assassination

As a ranged weapon, it is alternatively possible for latent magic of the user to be channeled (no charge consumed).

channeled -> channelled

THACO -> THAC0

Narbucchad's Demise +1
Driven by paranoia and mistrust, Narbucchad successively eliminated his guard in fear of attempts at assasination, and channelled all of his magic into a weapon after his own that could strike down any foe or number of would-be assailants at a time.

assasination -> assassination

Noted and fixed There were a few more typos I have fixed since.

[Graoumf]

Erephine, do you plan a traify for the release?

[parysm]

Not available icon and groundicon for Cloak of Bravery

I have RC1 version installed. Sorry if it's fixed already.

[Erephine]

Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. It's just wonderful and so much fun to play these games with your upgraded graphics.
As for the current version RC3: The clock is unfortunately still misplaced. In my case I installed Widescreen at the end, after 1PP. Resolution is 1920x1080.
I'm also slightly confused about the shield animation component because during installation one has to choose how large shields are handled. What exactly is the difference between the three options available?

Cheers

That would be because I am an idiot and accidentally replaced the fixed version with an older one while updating the files. You can get the fixed file here in the meantime (simply drop it in your override)


The problem with the legacy shields is that BG1 large shields are not yet ported, so the installer gives you three options on what to do with the in-game avatar appearance for those instead:

1. Make them look like BG1 medium shields
2. Make them look like the updated BG2 large shields in 1pp
3. Do not modify game files in any way (most likely giving you the vanilla BG2 large shield appearance)


Glad you enjoy playing That is the point, and what makes it all worth it.

I don't know if this might be interesting to you, Erephine but using 7z (instead of .zip) as archive format, the total size is considerably reduced (163.769Kb vs 187.804Kb).

[Erephine]

I would acturally prefer using 7z/have thought about it, but figured some people might have problems with it. Is there good support for Mac/Linux?

Heads up: Next update might take a bit to piece together but will contain some neat things. Good things to come

[Wisp]

7z and the underlying parts are open source/public domain. I can't imagine it isn't well supported on OSX. On Linux it is practically supported out of the box.

Incidentally, the new spell animations look awesome. Kudos!

[hook71]

On Mac OS X you can use StuffIt Expander, Unarchiver or several other alternatives for 7z-files so it shouldn't be a problem for most users.

RC3 Installation:
Icon displayed improperly(pink shadow):
Tzu-Zan's Bracers (BRAC26)

Question:
Helmets BG1 Style:
HELM15.ITM
Description says:
"This class of open-faced helmet(...)"
but icon displays closed-faced helmet, is it appropriate?
