Just installed 1ppv4 rc3. Looks great. I'm having a small issue with hobgoblins though. the appropriate weapons are among their loot and the animations look correct, but their avatars wield invisible weapons! Anyone else seeing this?

I think I know what the problem might be. I'll try and fix it for the next update

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?

Fixed the icon

The description is an oversight, probably a few inaccuracies with non-default install options.

RC3 now on SHS mirror.

Hi, me again:)
RC3 Installation:
Icon displayed improperly(pink shadow):
Runehammer +4 (HAM10)
Runehammer +5 (HAM11)
Carsomyr +5 (SW2H10)
Carsomyr +6 (SW2H19)
Celestial Fury +3 (SW1H51)

You did an exelent job created a new icon for Cloak of Bravery. It looks like a real stitched flesh cloak, according to its description. I have noticed that if you wield a Staff of Magi, then you do not flicker anymore. Is it deliberate act?

Im a new user so cant say if this is a RC problem but the pause/clock button is at the wrong place, namely where the map button is. It has no negative gameplay effects but looks weird.

Thanks for the feedback. Can not replicate the hammer one, fixed the others. Went through the files again just to be sure. Should be the last of them

I didn't really care much for the effect, so when I switched to the new animation I left it out (feeling that was distinguishing enough) and then forgot about it. I can add it back in, or make it an optional thing, I suppose?

It is.

Fixed for the next one.

So much for my plan to biff after 1pp Btw the mod looks gorgeous.

Another problem, after 1pp all gems become unidentified. ( For example the star sapphire in the starter Inn). But not potions. Here is the weidu.log where gems are still okay.

That is deliberate in the item patches. Did not get around to making a mention/make it optional it seems.

Lore values are low for the most part, so you should be able to tell the most common ones unless your character has crappy wisdom.

That said, new version!

This one is ironically more of a beta than previous ones but for a reason I hope you can all appreciate: Active content development is happening regarding the legacy shields (leading up to legacy shields v2).

RC4 includes, apart from the fixes above, fully re-rendered BG1-style large shield animations, which unlike previous ports are near-perfect. I will be working my way down the shields (so medium shields will be the next to be updated, then small shields, and so forth).

Give your thanks to the BG:EE team, who have shared what is left of ToB's development assets, from which I was able to salvage some keyframing information for the human female character animation. Which I have taken and adapted for other race/gender combinations and put to good use with a mesh I made to match the BG1 large shield and... this is the result!

Lighting currently matches BG1 animations, which might need a little tweaking.

Last but not least, [301] has been expanded to include a few fixes for shield rendering bugs for BGII animations with support for ToB/SoA, TotLM, and IWD2.

Let me know what you think!

I've dreamed of seeing one day the BG1 large shield animations. Allow me to worship you.

Install Component [1ppv4: Female Dwarves]?
[N]o, [Q]uit or choose one:
1] Separate Avatars for Female Dwarves - Icewind Dale I HoW

The only thing I installed before were your 1pp IWD Fixes.

Did you install the component restoring BG1 character animations?

If so, that is the problem (trying to patch BG2 animations when you're using those from BG1).

Yep, that was the problem. Thanks for the help... and keep it up!

Installed with no problems, loaded old save with no problems, clock icon is in the right place, im happy, cant say anything about shields, takes time i guess. Im not even sure ill be able to, the default install installed bg2 style large shields, i went with the stream. Should i reinstall or will they drop. Gems still unid though, i tried to install each component separately but it made no mention of gems or anything

[Erephine]

If you went with the default, you will be able to find BG1 style shields throughout SoA (the BG2 variants are just more common). The gems thing is currently part of the main v4 update, so not easily separated. You could delete all the misc**.itm files from your override which should bring them back to vanilla in the interim.

I will make it an option for the future.

Got sidetracked while working on the shields and finally figured out how the ingame colour pickers work (which makes me happy as it's been bugging me for some time). So there will be this as well next update (ToB installs only):











^ the way I've implemented the extended clothing colours is you will get the standard set of 34 at character creation and from your inventory; if you want to access the 'extras' you can do so from the 'customise' dialog in your character sheet.

No more having to edit your characters with NI

(unless of course the colour you want is not on there)

[Erephine]

Trying out RC4, on EasyTutu and having an issue:
No configuration leaves the shield icons in the inventory/paperdoll in BG2 style. Whatever I do, I get the BG1 look.

I would assume that 1ppv4-Baldur's Gate II style [default] should work, as per the readme images, but no dice.

Only have the Unfinished Business and the BG1NPC mods installed beforehand.

Am I missing something?

Simple answer: shield choices currently do not affect Tutu as it does not use BG2 shields.

I could add in an option to do that.

Does the same go for the helmet icons, as well?

I could add in an option to do that.

That would be great

Just to be clear: we are talking about fixing the Tutu inventory icons only, right?

Shields and helmets only, or are there any other items left? (If it'd help I could check for you, if you do not have a Tutu installation handy)
