G3: BG2 Fixpack Reaches Version 9
Posted: March 15, 2010, 3:22 am by Ancalagon

The Gibberlings Three

The BG2 Fixpack is a WeiDU compilation of fixes for Baldur's Gate II. With the disappearance of Kevin Dorner and the cessation of activity of the Baldurdash fixpack for Baldur's Gate II, several modders from many modding communities began working on a new WeiDU fixpack to address the numerous bugs that have been identified since Baldurdash. This collaborative effort, including the work of modders from several different modding communities, has resulted in a fixpack that currently includes all of the fixes addressed by Baldurdash (including the Game Text Update) and several hundred new bugfixes.

Version 9 includes Russian and Japanese translations, updates to the German and Italian translations, a number of revisions to BETA fixes and core components, and a new subcomponent of the Game Text Update by Wisp. The GTU can now be installed in two ways. The first (and recommended) option will install "GTU Light" (by Wisp), a fairly minimalistic dialogue update which contains only the most relevant typographical corrections. The second option will install "GTU Classic" (from Baldurdash, by Kevin Dorner), an in-depth dialogue revision, parts of which may be considered arbitrary by purists. The Fixpack is available for Windows, OSX, and Linux, in English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Polish, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish.

SHS: aTweaks v3.04 Released
Posted: March 11, 2010, 11:10 pm by Ancalagon

Spellhold Studios

Though it has been available for a while, aTweaks has now officially joined the SHS lineup of mods!

QUOTE
This mod represents a compilation of PnP related tweaks and various house rules which are designed to bring more consistency to the gameplay. It works on normal Baldur's Gate II games as well as either of the two Baldur's Gate conversion projects: (Easy)Tutu and Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT).

In summary, aTweaks can bring several classes, races, spells, items and creatures closer to their PnP counterparts, add more consistency to the gameplay by making sensible rule adjustments and eliminating exploits, and make it easier to distinguish between creatures with similar avatars through the use of recoloring techniques.

The mod is divided into multiple components all of which can be installed separately and are completely independent of each other. More detailed descriptions of all components can be found in the readme.

aTweaks has been updated to v3.04. In summary, this maintenance release slightly revises the Scribe Scrolls ability, updates the Italian translation as well as the Forum and Homepage links in the readme. Here's the full list of changes:

New in v3.04:
  • The Scribe Scrolls ability has been slightly revised. Inscribing a scroll now removes one instance of the spell in question from the caster's memory (i.e. just like casting the spell regularly would)
  • Updated the Italian translation
  • Updated forum and homepage links

G3: Version 13 of SCS II Available
Posted: February 23, 2010, 12:40 am by Ancalagon

The Gibberlings Three

Sword Coast Stratagems II is a collection of mini-mods for Baldur's Gate II, affecting both Shadows of Amn and the Throne of Bhaal extension. Like its Tutu predecessor, SCS II is mostly a tactics mod, intended to make the combats in the game more challenging and interesting. Overall, playing SCS II shouldn't exactly feel like a whole new game - it should feel like the old game, but with your foes acting much more intelligently and realistically. Version 13 of SCS II fixes a number of bugs and compatibility problems, optimises existing components, and adds a small amount of new content.

G3: Version 14 of SCS Available
Posted: February 23, 2010, 12:40 am by Ancalagon

The Gibberlings Three

Version 14 of Sword Coast Stratagems has been released. SCS is primarily a tactical mod for Tutu and Baldur's Gate Trilogy. The idea is to make the game rather more tactically challenging, rather than just making it harder by brute-force methods like tripling all the damage rolls. It also contains a few rule tweaks and ease-of-use features. v14 fixes all currently-known bugs in previous versions and optimises a few tactical features.

CoM The Undying 2.06 Released
Posted: February 2, 2010, 8:57 am by Ancalagon

The Undying version 2.05 has been released with a few changes and fixes. This is most likely the last of the version "2" releases.

The Undying is a WeiDU-based mod for Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal. This mod adds two new NPCs who will join your party, Callisto T'sarran and Ninafer.

Callisto is a Chaotic Evil elven berserker fighter with a tragic past. She has a hatred towards the world in general and an undying hate towards those who destroyed her life when she was young. Nothing will stand in her way to exact bloody revenge on those who wronged her.

Ninafer is a Lawful Neutral elven fighter/mage who is trying to find her way in the world of Toril. She's your typical thrill seeking adventurer who is bored with the home life.

This mod also includes new encounters, which is part of Callisto's Quest to find those who wronged her in the past, new items are added, seven new stores, many banters and interjections and three minor quests. Ninafer will flirt around with Anomen if he and your female character is not romancing each other. Their relationship continues into Throne of Bhaal. As usual, The Undying should be compatible with most other WeiDu-based mods, and should be installed after all official patches.
