Since all the areas outside the city did not have extended night areas, they had to be created and added for BGT & BGTutu.  No?  So, why can't they be added for vanilla BG?  I have some coding experience and this seems like a small thing in the scheme of things.

Well, the fact is the BG2 and BG1 use different game engines, the BG2 and thus as an extension the BGT & Tutu have more things put in it than the original, dah that's why the original games engine was modified to create the extension(the one running the BG2) ... thus the tools that we use have more options, and we have more things to modify.

Jarno is right - the BG2 version of the Infinity Engine is quite different and much improved when compared to the TotSC version.

Extended night was only applied to Baldur's Gate City in BG1. It doesn't work in other areas. If you can find someone to fix that (someone who knows how to edit the executable most likely) I'll release a TotSC version.

just one question because I am not sure I understood: is another version of this in the work or...? 

[Yovaneth]

There will be versions for BGTuTu, BG:EE and BGT only. TotSC cannot be done.

 

There is an update for BGTuTu, BG:EE and BGT in progress but I can't give a release date (for the same reason I don't know when I'll be able to fix a couple of bugs in FFT: R/L is taking precedence).

Oh okay, -Y-!

 

I understand now that there's an update planned. Thanks!

Technically, the night areas could probably be done by making a script that takes the player from day to the night area at night times and then sends them back during the day....it's a huge undertaking and probably not worth it at all, but ...

[Yovaneth]

Go ahead. I'll supply the graphics.

Hi, I want to report a glitch in Baldur's Gate Bridge area (AR7900 in BGT).

I'm using your latest BGT Graphics Overhaul mod and in the middle of bridge there is weird rectangle during the day.

During the night everything is fine and thanks to your mod looking beautiful. :-)

 

In attachment are screenshots of glitch during day and screens of night and how it looks when using original BG wed.

Interesting - looks like the drawbridge is stuffed. Problem noted. Sorry for the delayed reply but I escaped on vacation for ten days.

Many thanks for the praise!

 

Yes, I am aware of that problem. I'm on the last pass through Baldur's Gate ATM; BG:EE is half-finished, BGTuTu is started. The BGT tilesets are renamed BGTuTu ones, so one follows the other.

Good day!

Beautiful mod, night time areas are just charming!

Got one quirk though so far: I'm having BGT version as a part of BWS, so I'm not absolutely sure it's your mod to blame, but anyways, somehow it's always night time in Gullykin (Ar9900) . I noticed that day/night changes correctly on area map, but it's always night in the area itself. Could you please check if it's works ok on your side?

[Yovaneth]

Aargh!! Shows how long it's been since I checked here....

 

This one looks as if it may be a BGT/BWS problem. I've checked both ar9900.wed and ar9900n.wed and they're both calling their correct respective .tis files. I've also checked the original fw4000 area from which this one was derived and they're correct too.

I hope some BGT player with this mod installed can chime in and confirm that this issue is present on their side too. At this moment I can not be of help, sorry.

I guess the update mentioned above (August, 17) is unlikely to be out before the end of the year?

I'll try and make it a Christmas present... no promises though.

Checked. Exactly so, in the version for Tutu

http://www.shsforums...phics-overhaul/

(and BGT too) files fw4000.tiz and fw4000n.tiz are identical, both the night.

[Yovaneth]

Huh. Looks like I might have fixed it and not remembered because it does work correctly here. Ah well.

Another minor issue: in Ulgoth's Beard location (ARU000 in BGT) night-time area map got a case of green water. Night-time area itself is fine though.
