how to make highlighted blue items show on map

30 January 2011 - 04:41 PM

hello it is me again.  items on the map that it is possible to interact with show as 'blue highlighted' on the map whenever the mouse cursor is placed over them.  when I played this game 18 months ago I remember there was a way to make those items automatically show on the map by way of a keyboard command, but I cannot remember what keys had to be pressed.  it was not a 'cheat code', it was just a standard keyboard command (or possibly a combination of 2 keys or keyboard + mouse button).  Pressing the keys would make the items show on the map, when the keys were released the items would not show.  Can someone remind me what combination of keys had to be pressed to achieve that effect.  Thanks.

can't get character to start at level 1

29 January 2011 - 03:43 AM

hello, just revisited this game after 18 months, don't think anything has changed. However now when I start a new character at candlekeep for tales of the sword coast, the character always starts at level 7 and wont't start at level 1 (ranger archer - 6 proficiency slots and mega hit points).

I have followed these starting instructions but to no avail:

"When you play Baldur?s Gate II, you will arrive at the main menu where you would normally choose to play Shadows of Amn or Throne of Bhaal. Notice that the Shadows of Amn button has been replaced by a Baldur?s Gate button. Click on this button, and then click Single Player, then New Game. This will take you to the character generation screen, where you will create a level 1 character or import an existing character. Your character will then start in Candlekeep."

How to fix this?

This is my weidu log file:

I also have in place the no-cd patch.

Thanks

BGT - skeletons 'throw dagger' ability

27 January 2011 - 01:16 PM

Hello, I installed the excellent bgt mod about 18 months ago, it was v1.07. One comment that came with the installation was that the skeletons 'throw dagger' ability did not work and that so far it had not been possible to find a fix for that bug. 18 months on, did that problem ever get fixed?

Thanks

uk patch for 4-in-1 boxset

26 January 2011 - 10:01 AM

Hello, I am considering doing a fresh installation of bg/totsc using the 4-in-1 boxset.

I understand that a special 'uk patch' is required (I am from the uk) for the 4-in-1 boxset to get the game to run (last time I tried this was 18 months ago, I believe the affected program is totsc).

I have seen much discussion about this on the internet but I have not been able to find anywhere where it is possible to download this special uk patch for the 4-in-1 boxset.

Please could someone provide a link (or other direction) so I can download the uk patch.

Thanks!

p.s. I already have the following 2 patches: 'BGTalesUK5512.exe' and 'BGII-ThroneofBhaal_Patch_26498_ENGLISH.exe'
