I got this from TotoR via PM a couple years ago and only saw it now (yeah, I'm bad). Posting it here since I dunno if I'll be able to get to it (or even remember anything about modding).

 

Hi Miloch,

I was messing around and found:
.. in t-rndtre.tpa, some cre should not be updated as they are illusion created for BG1 tuto:
- ~%tsu%ihobgob~
- ~%tsu%itasloi~
- ~%tsu%ixvart~

..Some items could be flag as magical (or not... not really changing anything, for consistence maybe):
- agberr01
- agbrea01
- agjam01
- agjam02
- agjam03
- agjam04
- agjam05
- agjam06
- agjam07
- agjam08
- agjam09
- agpie01
- agtime01

..for compatibility agaurora.d could be updated with Solaufein from Jastey with:
//Solaufein By Jastey

Thank you for this really great mod

Libraries like t-rndtre.tpa could really be overhauled to be more dynamic. I wrote most of this sort of static code back when WeiDU's regexp was far slower, and I presumed (wrongly) there wouldn't be many new IE mods in the future.

Wooooo, it is nearly a 2 years old msg... Glad to see you.


RL take much of my Time those days, but I could send you the an updated version (with those fixes and maybe some other), if you want.

[Miloch]

Sure. Best to post it here though; someone else might likely get to it quicker as RL consumes most of my time these days too.

[Sam.]

Feel free to make pull requests.

[TotoR]

Thanks and I will, but FWIW, this version is not up-to-date with last fix from Miloch.

 

Won't it be a easier to have an official support on SHS Git ?

Won't it be a easier to have an official support on SHS Git ?

If that is the direction Miloch wishes to go, I will find out if transferring ownership of the repo to the SpellholdStudios GitHub organization if feasible without Gwendolyne (who owns the organization but has been absent for years).

[Miloch]

Whatever works best. I think I commented elsewhere that as long as we can serve HTML (readmes etc.) directly from git without having the user dig around in .md files or whatever, it's good. Though I also commented that there might be more useful/modern alternatives to git these days (but I haven't looked into any).

[Isewein]

Gwendolyne has been absent? I didn't even notice... He did such a tremendous amount of work for mod preservation. The years do fly by. Hope he's alright!
