Please note that EET is officially still in BETA. It however is functional without obvious oddities (I've tested it completely and found it to be stable and largely free of issues).. If you notice any strange behaviours, please report them here or directly to K4thos.

 

You're welcome to change the tweakpack installation options, it should still work properly. These reflect mainly my personal preferences. Baldur.ini includes the debug mode and most movies skippable on a keypress. I'd recommend giving Nightmare Mode a try (set it to 1).

 

 

 

Download the below links, for the github ones there's a DOWNLOAD ZIP option to the right, bottom of the list, use that. You'll download -master .zip files that you can extract to the paths listed below. It is possible they come with an additional path level inside the .zip. Make sure you treat the path that contains the setup-*.exe file as the root path (for instance my latest EET-master.zip download contained the folder 'EET-master', which is not a setup-*.exe file, so I double clicked it, and then saw the setup-*.exe file and some other maps, which I all extracted to the paths listed below).

 

You may SKIP the replace with weidu.exe option. These files have the latest WeiDU release already. The sendspace files have been on my computer though, and thus the executables could be compromised. Replace them with the WeiDU link ones if you trust that source better. You do NOT have to run the files from the command prompt, you can simply double-click them. (This is basically the list of actions I kept track of while beta-testing for K4thos. So it may contain a little fodder.)

For those who might want to try an EET install using the BWS tool, that is also possible, albeit unsupported. Just manually edit the Misc GUI au3 file in the Includes directory, find the line that says EET is disabled, and remove the semicolons in front of the next several lines below. I have successfully installed EET a few times this way.

[Sai]

The Big World Project agb1 is speaking of can be found here: https://kerzenburg.b....eu/bwpmods.php

[The Imp]

The Big World Project Setup agb1 is speaking of can be found in: here.

Fixed that link for you,
Direct download link to the always up-to-date-master.

 

But anyways, the above is appreciated, it will help more people to use the EET, which is always good.

[K4thos]

thanks for the guide. Just a disclaimer to make things clear - there are few reasons why I'm not creating topics regarding installation and stuff on this subforum:

- EET is not really a direct port or continuation of BGT (different goals, little to no common code), so creating new topics for it here may be viewed as attempt to highjack Ascension64 section of the forum created for different mod,

- it currently has beta status and as mentioned in both readme and GitHub description - current version is not really representative to what we want to achieve with this mod (things that need engine features that will be added in the next BG2:EE patch). So playing with it now is intended mostly for beta testers or those curious what's up.

 

It would be cool to have a separate subforum where we could discuss the development, things like compatibility stuff, and so forth, but for now I can't get in touch with the forum administration to make it happen. Maybe in future.

[The Imp]

From what I know about the process, gaining a subforum on here could be a failry lenghty process, as it takes man power and the time for the admins to get together and agree on the steps that they are going to take. And the lack of the immediate need is also a variable they need to take into account. And other factors... like the fact that the EET will also have IWDEE's content, megamoding content and plah plah plah.
I am quite sure your request is being considered, don't worry about that. The wheel shold be turning... yes I kicked it. But back to the topic.

[Fiann of the Silver Hand]

This has nothing to do with BGT. Maybe the Mega Mod forum?

[K4thos]

Maybe the Mega Mod forum?

fine by me.

[Fiann of the Silver Hand]

Oh yeah. There's a dedicated EE subforum.

Install Component [Multiple Strongholds (Baldurdash)]? 1] No Restrictions (Baldurdash)

 

Not good. I've added this component to Baldurdash. Kevin oppositely removed the exploit of having multiple strongholds. Further, I've modified this component in the last version to fix some issues. If you ask me, I'd provide you with the improved Multiple Strongholds from BD-WeiDU 1.7, which is not publicly available at the moment, even though it will be used in begee which I totally detest.

 

EDIT: The same is about True Grandmastery.

Could you please post the description of the Priest of Tempus kit? Thanks.

Could you please post the description of the Priest of Tempus kit? Thanks.

It's probably the same as the IWD:EE 's kit, so:

Disadvantages:
– Alignment restricted to true neutral plus all chaotic alignments

[Gel87]

Is it possible to not choose stuff like, choosing [n] instead of [i]:

Arcane spellcasting in heavy armor

Thieving skills in heavy armor

Use several +enhancement items

 

And what was the bug? Only some bad looking water in bg1? If so i will buy IWD1 and 2EE and install this  

 

How does normal kit mods/items mods work with this, meaning: If i have some of my own kits, i can just install them after?

Also, have there been done anything about monsters AI? I noticed they suck in the newest bg2ee patch, they often dont attack, espessially shadows, they just stand there, and feks. the black dragon doesent attack if u click talk on him so he turns toward you, then attack him before dialogue. I stroke him down and he was blue all the time xD Dno if they get confused when i change invisible/visible with thief 24/7 xD

[The Imp]

Yes, you just don't choose the component. The above is made for Sai's preferences, you can make your own, it's actually said in the message..

And what was the bug? Only some bad looking water in bg1? If so i will buy IWD1 and 2EE and install this

The area files had an attribute that the new engine viewed as a different attribute, and it made the water maps have dark borders, it's fixed.

How does normal kit mods/items mods work with this, meaning: If i have some of my own kits, i can just install them after?

Well, basically it's mod dependent, but the kit mods we two worked, should work if they did so in BG1EE. Which is why I tested them in BG1EE. Seriously, I am insane.

the black dragon doesent attack if u click talk on him so he turns toward you, then attack him before dialogue.

Yeah, that's called cheating ! Don't worry, I do it a lots too...

Okay, thanks a lot

 Btw(offtopic), do you have a xp cap remover who works for bg2ee? Im soon filled to 8mill while playing my new thief kit xD My old one don't work, tryed set -1 and also higher number than the 8millions one but it fails, there are 2 additional files in it which i think it will work together with, but those fucks up my starting position and got loads of broken values xD I would upload it now, but i dont have access to this forum on my personal pc while im offshore at work atm xD I also tryed just modifying the one in nearinfinity, but that don't work either xD

[The Imp]

Not really.. I would like to have a look on the xp cap remover... as I can probably make it work(fix it) far more easily than make my own.

[agb1]

EET Tweaks has an XP cap remover component that works for BG2EE.

https://github.com/K4thos/EET_Tweaks

EET Tweaks has an XP cap remover component that works for BG2EE.

Ahh, the fun fact ... it doesn't work outside that package cause the way it's coded. But yes, it works in BG2EE AND "you have to" you keep the file structure.

Well, the problem wit those is that the XPLEVEL.2da don't usually end with the -1, but the at level 41 around 8.25-13 million, which doesn't exist in the other tables, so the if you have that much XP, your character dies. Cause he has no other tables to support that.

Quick solution, edit the xplevel.2da's 41st level values to be -1 ...

So with the vanilla tables it looks like this:

2DA V1.0
-1
