Can anyone direct me to information on creating/editing BG/BG2/IWD sprites? Links to well-written tutorials and free (or affordable) tools would be appreciated. I've played with Morrowind models/texturing a bit but don't know where to start with IE sprites.

I find myself confused. Could someone point me to a readme or general overview?

There are a lot of different things going on here... the forum is a bit confusing. Are all these NPCs included in MftW? Or is each one a seperate add-on? What kinds of new roleplaying options are available? Does Montaron survive the Harper fiasco in your mod? That'd be neat...

Glad to see that you're still working on Evil stuff. There's not enough of this kind of thing available.

Could you post the Hidden Kits readme to the forum?

Suggestion: Offer the player a choice from a list of alternative names for each hidden kit.

To clarify, I'm referring to install-time options (subcomponents). Also, ACTION_READLN could be used to allow users to input their own hidden kit names if desired. Subcomponents could offer a choice between a number of default alternatives and custom input; if the custom option is chosen, then ACTION_READLN could take user input.

Here are some suggested alternatives:

Cleric/Fighter or Fighter/Cleric:

• Crusader

Cleric/Mage or Mage/Cleric:

• Holy Flame

Druid/Fighter or Fighter/Druid:

• Storm Fist

Fighter/Mage or Mage/Fighter:

• Battlemage
  
• Spellsword

Mage/Thief or Thief/Mage:

• Arcane Agent
  
• Nightblade

This looks to be an interesting mod. I look foward to trying it.

EDIT: clarity

Morrow Gate 0.8 is now available! Morrow Gate is a combination tweak and quest mod.

------ XXX Morrow Gate 0.9D XXX ------
\-------------------------------------------------

Morrow Gate is designed for systems having BGII - SOA and TOB, the official TOB patch 26498, and either the Baldurdash fixpack OR the G3 Fixpack installed. It should be compatible with most other WeiDU mods.

It is likely best to install Morrow Gate AFTER all other mods, or as close to last in the install order as possible (as is the case with most tweak packs).

Please direct any questions or comments to: aWoundedLion@yahoo.com


/-------------------------------------------------
--- COMBINABLE PROTECTION ITEMS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component allows 'protection items' to be used together in any combination and with magical armors.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- TRUECLASS RANGER ALIGNMENT REVISIONS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component allows players to create trueclass Rangers of any alignment (this does not extend to Ranger kits). Fallen Rangers now retain and continue to gain abilities.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- FALLEN RANGER NAME REVISION ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component renames Fallen Rangers to either Rangers or Dark Rangers (player choice).


/-------------------------------------------------
--- REVISED ITEM PRICING IN STORES ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component nullifies the effect of reputation on item prices. To clarify, reputation does *NOT* affect the price of items in shops under this component. Item pricing becomes a function of Charisma.

STANDARD SCALE:

CHARISMA DISCOUNT
11 5%
12 10%
13 15%
14 20%
15 25%
16 30%
17 35%
18 40%
19 45%
20 50%
21 55%
22 60%
23 65%
24 70%
25 75%

DIFFICULT SCALE:

CHARISMA DISCOUNT
13 1%
14 3%
15 5%
16 7%
17 9%
18 11%
19 13%
20 15%
21 17%
22 19%
23 21%
24 23%
25 25%


/-------------------------------------------------
--- REVISED RING OF HUMAN INFLUENCE ---
\-------------------------------------------------

The Ring of Human Influence renders the Charisma attribute almost non-functional in BG2 by allowing essentially any character that wishes to complete the relatively short and easy Circus quest to have a Charisma of 18. This component revises the RoHI to grant a +5 bonus to Charisma, simultaneously reducing its 'cheat value' and rendering the item useful to characters already possessing a Charisma of 18. Neat, huh?


/-------------------------------------------------
--- CURE SPELL REVISIONS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component revises cure spells to scale with caster level.

Cure Light Wounds (Lv1)
Lv1: 8 HP
Lv8: 16 HP
Lv16: 24 HP

Good Berries (Lv2)
Lv1: 1 handful of berries
Lv8: 2 handful of berries
Lv16: 3 handful of berries
*Each handful of berries heals 12 HP

Cure Medium Wounds (Lv3)
Lv1: 16 HP
Lv8: 24 HP
Lv16: 32 HP

Cure Serious Wounds (Lv4)
Lv1: 24 HP
Lv8: 32 HP
Lv16: 40 HP

Cure Critical Wounds (Lv5)
Lv1: 32 HP
Lv8: 40 HP
Lv16: 48 HP


/-------------------------------------------------
--- BREACH AND IRON SKINS REVISIONS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component allows Breach to remove Iron Skins and affect Rakshasa creatures.

If you are using Sword Coast Stategems II, install its similar component instead.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- COMPOSITE LONG BOW STRENGTH REQUIREMENT REVISION ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component reduces the minimum strength required to use composite long bows (including those added by mods) from 18 to 15.

Strong Arm +2 is unaffected and retains its strength requirement of 19.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- CLERIC REVISION: GOOD-ALIGNED CLERICS FALL AT LOW REPUTATIONS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

Under this component, Good-aligned Clerics will fall at a reputation of eight. All spellcasting and divine abilites are lost.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- TRUECLASS PALADIN ALIGNMENT REVISIONS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component allows players to create trueclass Paladins of any alignment (this does not extend to Paladin kits). Fallen Paladins now retain and continue to gain abilities.

Note: A character must commit an evil act (theft, murder, etc) to become a Fallen Paladin.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- FALLEN PALADINS GAIN OPPOSITE ABILITIES ---
\-------------------------------------------------

* SPELLS COURTESY OF CAMDAWG AND DIVINE REMIX *

This component causes Fallen Paladins to gain Detect Good instead of Detect Evil and to gain Protection From Good instead of Protection From Evil. Three new spells (Detect Good, Protection From Good, and Protection From Good 10' Radius) are added to Fallen Paladins' spellbooks.

Note: A character must commit an evil act (theft, murder, etc) to become a Fallen Paladin and gain the new spells.

Note: Visit http://www.gibberlings3.net/ -> The home of Divine Remix and other great mods!


/-------------------------------------------------
--- FALLEN PALADIN NAME REVISION ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component renames Fallen Paladins to Paladins, Dark Paladins, or Blackguards (player choice).

Note: A character must commit an evil act (theft, murder, etc) to become a Fallen Paladin.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- EXPANDED WEAPON PROFICIENCIES FOR MONKS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component allows Monks to use bastard swords, axes, warhammers, flails, and maces. Monks are now able to place up to five proficiency points into any allowed weapon. Monks now begin with four proficiency points at the first level and gain additional proficiency points every three levels. Monks are now able to place up to two proficiency points into Single Weapon Style. Monks now roll D10 for hit points instead of D8.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- SHAPESHIFTER REBALANCING REBALANCED ---
\-------------------------------------------------

SRR is an altered version of Westley Weimer's Shapeshifter Rebalancing (available in Ease of Use and BG2 Tweaks). This component is based on code shamelessly stolen from BG2 Tweaks (available at http://www.gibberlings3.net/).

Adjustments:
- Both paw items now use a wolf paw icon instead of a bear claw icon.
- Immunity to normal weapons has been removed from lesser werewolf paw item.
- The greater werewolf paw item has been moved from Lv13 to Lv15
- Regeneration has been reduced from 3 HP per second to 1 HP per second for the greater werewolf paw item.
- Damage has been reduced from 1D12 to 1D10 for the lesser werewolf paw item.
- Damage has been reduced from 2D8 to 2D6 for the greater werewolf paw item.
- Elemental resistances have been reduced from 50% to 25% for the greater werewolf paw item.
- The annoying form-change animation has been removed from both paw items.
- The Shapeshifter kit description is updated to reflect SRR changes (SR did not update the description)
- A bug in the stolen G3 code has been fixed; the description for Conjure Animals is now applied to the correct offset.

90% credit: Westley Weimer, creator of the original SR
5% credit: G3, for slightly modernized code
5% credit: Me, for fixing the bug in the G3 code and adjusting SR for playability

I doubt that anyone should mind my appropriating this component. However, if someone wishes to voice any such complaints to me, or to report bugs with this component (bug reports for SRR go to me, NOT Weimer, NOT G3), feel free to e-mail me (awoundedlion@yahoo.com).

SRR shapeshifters are (despite my adjustments) very powerful but (hopefully) somewhat more balanced.

/-------------------------------------------------
--- NATURAL SELECTION: DARKFRIEND DRUID KIT ---
\-------------------------------------------------

The Darkfriend Druid kit is fully compatible with Divine Remix (regardless of install order).

DARKFRIEND: Darkfriends are Druids that have a special connection with creatures that most people think of as monsters. To a Darkfriend, a wyvern is just as natural as a wolf. Darkfriends often have poor repuations among cities, towns, and villages and are most at home in the deep woods.

Some Darkfriends attempt to minimize conflict between certain monsters and civilization and to promote peaceful coexistence. Others work to preserve balance by stopping Great Hunts called against wyverns or spiders. Some aggressive Darkfriends promote the destruction of civilization and society and organize monsters to raze villages and towns.

ADVANTAGES

The following spells are added to the Darkfriend's spellbook:

Charm Monsters at Lv5
Summon Spiders at Lv7
Wyvern Call at Lv9

DISADVANTAGES

No Shapeshifting Abilities


/-------------------------------------------------
--- NATURAL SELECTION: DRUID ALIGNMENT REVISIONS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

Druids (and all Druid kits including those added by mods) may choose Neutral Good, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, or Neutral Evil as their alignment.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- NATURAL SELECTION: DRUID WEAPON PROFICIENCY REVISIONS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

Druids (and all Druid kits including those added by mods) may place one proficiency slot in both Shortbows and Longbows and up to two proficiency slots in Two Handed Style. Druids begin the game with one proficiency slot in Two Handed Style.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- NATURAL SELECTION: DRUIDS GAIN LV27 NATURE'S BLESSING WISDOM BONUS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

Druids (and all Druid kits including those added by mods) gain Nature's Blessing (+2 Wisdom bonus) at Level 27.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- NATURAL SELECTION: NEW DRUID SPELLS ---
\-------------------------------------------------

Druids (and all Druid kits including those added by mods) gain two restoration spells that render the class a viable alternative to the Cleric. Also, two improved charm spells strengthen the Druid's arsenal ('Charm Person or Mammal' is WEAK).


/-------------------------------------------------
--- CLERICS AND DRUIDS GAIN BREACH SPELL ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component adds Breach to the spellbook of trueclass Clerics and Druids, Cleric kits, and Druid kits.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- DRUIDS AND RANGERS GAIN FIND FAMILIAR ABILITY ---
\-------------------------------------------------

This component adds the Find Familiar ability to trueclass Druids and Rangers, Druid kits, and Ranger kits.


/-------------------------------------------------
--- REVISED AMNIAN GUARDSMEN ---
\-------------------------------------------------

Under a default game installation, Amnian guardsmen (triggered by proximity traps in the Docks, Slums, Bridge District, and Waukeen's Promenade areas) attempt to execute the player party when its reputation reaches 3. The player party has no choice but to fight.

Under this component, Amnian guardsmen (via the same proximity traps) detain the player party when its reputation reaches 4. The player party can bribe, fight, or pay a restitution fee to the guardsmen. A bribe buys the party freedom from harassment for at least one day. A restitution fee restores the party's reputation to 5.

REPUTATION RESTITUTION FEE CHARISMA & GOLD TO BRIBE
4 250 Gold 16 CHR + 25 Gold
3 500 Gold 17 CHR + 50 Gold
2 750 Gold 18 CHR + 75 Gold
