Golden Horse Mercenary Company is a new BG2 mod created by svj.

Key features:

  • A joinable NPC, Revan Artecratos, selectable as Assassin/Mage, Thief/Mage, or Fighter/Mage/Thief
  • 7 minor NPCs available as mercenaries
  • 22 new items

WeiDU Mod Packager: A GitHub Action for modders to...

Posted on Oct 06, 2024 02:22 by Ancalagon

WeiDU Mod Packager is a highly customizable GitHub Action that can be used to automate the creation of mod packages. Like AL|EN's Infinity Auto Packager it takes care of adding PI-specific iemod packages and platform-specific zip archives whenever a new mod release is published.

The action provides a number of parameters to customize mod package creation, such as:

  • Mod package type: iemod package or platform-specific zip archive (Windows, Linux, macOS).
  • Architecture of included setup binaries: e.g. x86 (32-bit) or amd64 (64-bit).
  • Mod package version: Whether to draw version number from the mod's tp2 VERSION flag, the GitHub release tag name, or specify a custom version string.
  • Naming scheme: Derive from the mod's tp2 filename, the "Name" definition in the PI metadata file, or provide a custom mod package name.
  • WeiDU version: The WeiDU version to use for the mod's setup binary.
  • Platform-specific name prefixes: Helps to identify the target platform of the created mod package. The default prefixes are fully compatible with the modhub micro service.

More details, operating instructions and a number of predefined scripts can be found on GitHub: WeiDU Mod Packager

G3: Have an idea for an item? Get it made!

Posted on Oct 02, 2024 01:43 by Ancalagon

The Gibberlings Three

Have an idea for an item? Get it made!

For aspiring modders, one of the things I (CamDawg) always recommend as a first project is an item pack. It gives you a little bit of experience making items, creatures, stores, and some basic scripting and dialogue. As part of the Baldur’s Gate Community Creative Craziness Challenge, I will be doing just this.

As a tutorial live stream.

As a collaborative project, creating items submitted by you.

Welcome to the G3 Community Item Pack! I'm looking for item ideas (post them in this thread). If you're an artist or writer, I'm also open to submissions for some basic dialogue for the merchant, or a portrait for the merchant, or item art. I'm primarily looking for items to be placed into BG2, but we can also make the project cross-platform if folks have ideas for items that work better in BG or IWD.

Live stream date and time to be determined later in the month.

SHS Moves to a New GitHub Organization

Posted on Sep 23, 2024 00:32 by Ancalagon

Spellhold Studios will be changing its GitHub account. The owner of the previous organization and a prolific IE modder, Gwendolyne, disappeared suddenly in 2022, unfortunately without appointing a successor with the ability to effectively maintain our modding projects there. Sadly, all attempts to contact Gwendolyne or restore full access through GitHub Support have been to no avail, which is why we have decided to create a new account.

All SHS mods will be gradually transferred to the new organization, which will be maintained by trusted, friendly, and open-minded Staff members. We recognize this as an initial inconvenience to Modders, but we hope our efforts put into preserving the community's legacy make up for it.

The new organization is available at: github.com/Spellhold-Studios

A complementary Index of Mods will be updated with links and descriptions.

To help our members and visitors reach us more easily, we have also enabled two communication channels: SHS Discord server and GitHub Discussions.

We hope to see you there!

SHS: "BG1 NPCs in SoA&ToB" Mod Updated to v.15

Posted on Sep 10, 2024 22:43 by Ancalagon

"BG1 NPC in SoA & ToB" mod
(Author: Smiling Imp, additions - Austin & Arcanecoast Team)

This mod adds the majority of NPCs from BG1 into BG2 SoA&ToB. They have new banters and interjections and a few of them have encounters and quests as well. The mod is broken down into different components, allowing for easy mixing and matching with other mods that may also add NPCs from BG1.
Additionally, you will be able to visit a new city area, the luxurious Water Gardens, where all the rich and famous of Athkatla go to unwind.
The mod is compatible with BG2, BG2: EE, BGT and EET.

Version 15 includes the following changes:

  1. Added Shar-Teel romance (texts by scheele). Warning: contains adult content (18+).
    Conditions for starting a romance: gender - male, charisma above 10, strength above 10, not a gnome or halfling. The romance will begin when Shar-Teel is wounded in any battle and her health drops below 50, after which the first dialogue will follow
    The romance includes:
    19 dialogues in SoA with Shar-Teel, including receiving "sympathy points" for certain answers.
    3 additional dialogues in SoA with Safana, if she is in the party - her participation is optional, but it will affect the course of the romance.
    New Shar-Teel’s interjections during an active romance (including her reaction to the player's actions in Phaere's house)
    3 dialogues in ToB + 3 epilogues depending on the "sympathy points" you have collected.
    A large PID dialogue in SoA and ToB during an active romance and an additional small PID dialogue in SoA before the start of the romance.
    It is possible to change Shar-Teel's alignment to chaotic neutral! To do this, you will need to collect enough "sympathy points" during the romance and convince her in the key dialogue to think about the importance of a future peaceful life.
    For the evil PC there is an additional opportunity to interest Shar-Teel by jointly using the "black lotus" (which will result in a drop in reputation by 1 unit and a decrease in intelligence by 1)
  2. Fixed code bugs in Xzar's quest, added an additional journal entry
  3. Fixed display of Water Gardens icon on world map
  4. Fixed compatibility issue with the "classic" version of the game that arose in one of the latest updates
  5. Fixed issues with portrait sizes in the "classic" version of the game
  6. Updated readme file
