Merry Mod-Mass!


Today marks the public release of BP-BGT-NeJv0.300 BETA.

--ALL COMBINED INTO ONE HUGE EPIC OF A GAME!!!!

Many never-before-seen enhancements throughout!
FAR too many to mention in a single thread. Even the BG1 portion of BP-BGT-NEJ has been heavily enhanced!

Get these necessary BP-BGT-NEJ files at:

And keep your eyes glued to the TeamBG Big Picture Forums, and the Plaguezone.com forums, for the latest news and updates! ;)


Cheers! And many happy adventures....

What's Never Ending Journey? I don't think I've heard of it before. And since I presume this mod encompasses ToB, it should be in the ToB forum, so moving.

Hurrah! This I have been waiting for for a long time!

Never Ending Journey

By taking the portal immediately north of the starting area in Irencius' dungeon the party will travel through time and space to the land of Icewind Dale. Stuff happens there somewhat familiar to those who've played IWD before.
It adds a human fighter kit called the Moonknight:

MOON KNIGHT: The Moon Knights are an ancient order of warriors in Faerun, and are seldom ever seen, unless they goes to war. They are extremely disciplined, and have been specially trained to fight demonic and draconic creatures. However they are more mercenaries than knights. They believe in the ultimate balance of forces, and refuse to see actions as either good or evil. Feared throughout the lands for thier magical invulnerability, but even more fearsome is their skill with a sword.
Advantages:
- May cast a limited selection of protective spells
- Bonus +3 to hit and +3 to damage against demons and dragons
- Immunity to fear, charm and poison
- 20% resistance to fire and acid
- Bonus +1 to hit and +1 to damage for every three levels
- Bonus -1 to speed factors for every 4 levels
Disadvantages:
- May specialize only in swords
- Cannot use throwing weapons
- Can only be of neutral alignments
- May not dual classes

It also optionally allows Imoen to start out the game as a straight thief with a custom kit called the Charming Rogue. She will start with enough XP to either levelup, or to dualclass to a mage. Additionally, she will become a "continious" character. When the party returns to Amn and Imoen is taken to spellhold, all the XP and changes made to the character will transfer over to the same character you pick up at Spellhold.

w00t, it isn't FilePlanet. Downloading 58 MB from there? No chance in nine hells. :cool:

Latest Full Version: ...And the file-name says v1.61f...

HOT NEW RELEASE--BP-BGT!!!! ...And this one is v3.00. Are they both up-to-date? :confused: (Meaning: same files with different version numbers)

How about a link, eh Baronius?

I have not been given a link yet.
Too bad Horred isn't online too often.
When (If?) I get a link, I'll post it here.

I cannot find a link to the blurb posted by Baronius.

You cannot because there isn't. I got that information from a TeamBG member.

Actually, I was looking for a homepage to link to in the SP mods listing. I presume there is none, just a download location?

No, there is no homepage for either Tortured Souls or Neverending Journey at the moment, at least none of the links I have are working.

Also, good luck figuring out which file to link to. There seem to be no less than 13 variations in size and filename. ;)

Hey, sorry for taking so long to get back, after dropping a bombshell like this! :eek:

Just trying to catch my breath; it's been a long few weeks, getting this all together.

http://plaguezone.com/page2.html

The site also contains a forum; for questions, answers, and blatant lunacy! :D

Will contain all the "BP" files you need. You'll obviously have to get the big files from other sources

http://iegmc.mirror.intermedia.com.sg/nej/NeverEndingJourney-weiduv13i.rar

Is where to get the latest version of NeJ-weidu. The stand-alone version listed above is NOT BP-compatible!

http://iegmc.mirror.intermedia.com.sg/ts is a good non-file planet way to go, if you need tortured souls pieces.

http://iegmc.mirror.intermedia.com.sg/bgt is where to get the Baldur's gate trilogy files from. In fact, if you take the "ts, bgt, etc." off of the preceding links, you'll find a lot of mods available! ;)

I still haven't made a proper post of some of the "enhancements" I've done in this mod. There are several; more than I can remember.
(This happens when a mad scientist gets let loose, without a stenographer at his heels :D )

I'll either give you a link to more info, or copy the post here, when I have it.

Cheers!
