PPG: Sellswords beta-testing starts!
Posted: June 18, 2013, 2:30 pm by Ancalagon

Pocket Plane Group proudly presents a new mod, The Sellswords, named after R.A. Salvatore's famous trilogy about the infamous assassin, Artemis Entreri, and the cunning drow mercenary, Jarlaxle.

The mod allows the player to meet Kimmuriel Oblodra, the current leader of Bregan D'aerthe, and travel with him to Menzoberranzan to confront a powerful Matron Mother, rescue Jarlaxle, and receive some unexpected help from Artemis Entreri.

The mod begins in Chapter 6 as soon as you enter Waukeen's Promenade in Athkatla. Throne of Bhaal expansion pack is required.

To take part in beta-testing, please post here.

Read more about the mod and ask your own questions here.

TBGCoM: Dark Horizons BG:EE Beta Test Start
Posted: June 17, 2013, 12:51 am by Ancalagon

I've started testing beta version 0.00 right now. I'm making sure that nothing is broken like the quests, or any sort of game crashing bugs. Once I play the mod to completion and haven't encountered anything bad, I'll release beta version 1.00 to the general public. This way more people can nit pick, find problems that I may have overlooked.

The main change for BG:EE is some of the end game dialogs with the main quest and the introduction of two NPCs.

More information on updates can be found at its forum. http://www.baldursga...php?board=101.0

SHS: Isra NPC for BGT/TuTu/BGEE hits v2
Posted: June 9, 2013, 12:21 pm by Ancalagon

Spellhold Studios

Isra has now hit v2, and now includes voicing and a string-fix option in her PID!

Isra is a follower of Sune Firehair, the goddess of love, beauty, and passion, and the only chaotic aligned deity to sponsor paladins. As such, she isn't necessarily what you might expect of a paladin. She associates with some of the most mirthful churches in the Realms, so for the most part, she lacks the solemn edge that's so common for the class. She definitely still believes in honor, discipline, and order, but she tends to value the courtly aspects of the code of conduct more highly than the demands of duty. As a result, she's usually pretty willing to ignore harmlessly chaotic behavior (not evil behavior, though).

Isra is Amnish, most recently from Crimmor, the Caravan Capital of Amn. She's a squire with the Sisters and Brothers of the Ruby Rose, and you can find her in the Nashkel Mines region, trying (with no success whatsoever) to resolve Prism's legal difficulties. Aid her in protecting him from Greywolf, and she'll be happy to help you investigate the mines. Make sure you recruit her before clearing them, however. They pose enough of a threat that she'll be willing to take action first and seek permission later; otherwise she'd feel obligated to return south to her order instead of gallivanting off with strangers.

She won't join the company of an evil PC under any circumstances. She won't be rude about it, but she does have the magic to tell. She also won't stick around if your reputation drops below 6.

SHS: Big Picture updated to v181 beta v3001
Posted: May 18, 2013, 8:30 am by Ancalagon

Spellhold Studios

After a very long wait, it's finally in your hands. Too massive an update to fully test in any reasonable time, this is now a public beta.

BP stands for The Big Picture. This is a compatibility mod with AI improvements that allows you to integrate most of the currently existing large mods as well as several smaller mods into one giant game. BP is an active ongoing project with the overall goal of making as many mods compatible with each other as possible.

BP underwent a lot of changes! Now over 70 components, and a much less-invasive core component. Miix and match with your favorite components of other AI mods, or go for the full "BP Slam".

The Read-Me file has been updated, and included in the mod package (see forum link). This details the various and numerous new components--all split from the old BP core. And still a couple 'leftovers' components for what was not split off. Not much in the way of AI revisions; that will wait on BG2EE. Just fixes and subdivisions, for now.

Only English for now; translations pending on translators. Hopefully this release will fuel the need...so expect near-future updates, for both translations and any problems that may arise. We tested BP itself as well as we could, but not w/ every mod on the planet. In theory, it should be much more compatible now, instead of less.

SHS: CoI - ISNF v3.0 released; Innershade, White Queen updated
Posted: May 13, 2013, 12:31 pm by Ancalagon

I Shall Never Forget...and I shall never give up. As long as I breath, I will do anything to bring you back, Selene...

I Shall Never Forget is a quest mod, one of the Colours of Infinity mods. It lets you take part in the story of Orion and Selene, a man and woman separated by the veil of death.

The mod has been rewritten from the ground up, so version 3 is almost a brand new mod - it's not longer a mini-quest, but a full-length story, with original characters and plot. The story has been improved with new items, dialogues, areas, music, spells, bams and more to provide CoI fans a decent adventure. Check the readme to get a full list of changes. New screenshots have been included at both the CoI forums and the author's website.

And that's not all. Thanks to some great translators, The White Queen (v3.1) and Innershade (v6.0) mods are now available in Russian.

TMGCoM: Gahesh NPC Released
Posted: May 1, 2013, 6:40 pm by Ancalagon

Gahesh NPC available

Looking for a new companion? Ask Gahesh to join on your adventure. Gahesh is a lawful good half-orc sorcerer; an outcast who seek peace of mind. A man of faith and silence.
The release includes a very first version of Gahesh NPC with content for both SoA and ToB. You can expect the original character, small quest area, friendship talks for both SoA and ToB and short romance in ToB. Gahesh can romance non-evil females of any race. Romance can be started even if you're playing ToB only game.
If you want to see some screenshots, they can be found here.

GemRB 0.8.0 released!
Posted: April 30, 2013, 6:20 am by Ancalagon

GemRB is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine. It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment).

The new major release is a mix of new engine features, painstaking BG1 polishing, much improved IWD2/3ed support and hundreds of miscellaneus fixes.
Compatibility with all the games is at an all time high, with IWD:TOTLM joining the ranks of completables and IWD2 coming a long way towards the same goal.

For the details, try GemRB yourself or check the detailed changelog for some highlights.
