Jaesun Currently dicking around with ToBEx http://www.spellholdstudios.net/ie/tobex

It's an engine hack that fixes bugs in BG2 that G3 Fixpack can't. BG:EE guys are stealing using it. Probably should be in OP.

Does it actually do anything yet? Seems it is still like an alpha stage.

Yes. The title page is a bit misleading, it contains plenty of bug fixes and tweaks.

Hint: Make sure you install the Widescreen mod AFTER you install the new 1PP GUI for BG2

 

[Jaesun]

wow, reading is hard.

It can be installed in any order relative to most non GUI-related mods. GUI mods for BG2, IWD1 and IWD2 must be installed BEFORE Widescreen, whereas BG1 GUI and Ghostdog's PST UI mods must be installed AFTER Widescreen.

I can't for the life of me remember if Jade Empire is considered an RPG because I haven't played it in ages but in case anyone's interested there's a huge mod for it called Jade Empire In Style.

http://jade-empire-in-style.com/

It adds new fighting styles along with possible bug fixes to the game.

What about Wizardry 8 mods? Some can be found at http://www.zimlab.com/wizardry/wiz8mods.htm

Widescreen UI mod for Icewind Dale 2 http://havredest.eklablog.fr/interface-pour-widescreen-a42876917

Unfortunately it doesn't use WeiDU, and it only supports a limited number of resolutions unlike ghostdog's PS:T UI mod.

This mod has been updated, it now has a cool installation executable and supports more resolutions. Still not universal like Ghostdog's though.

SS2Tool 4.6: http://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.msg49420#msg49420

Apparently contains a bunch of new fixes.

Jaesun For some reason Bigg's widescreen mod isn't in OP http://www.gibberlings3.net/widescreen/

Put it at the bottom together with the DDraw fix, since it's good for all IE games

 

[Severian Silk]

Are these mods listed in the order they should be installed in?

No.

Damn, this guy's UI mods for NWN2 are awesome - better than Charlie's.

You should replace Charlie's with these in OP.

Found out about these two sound improvement patches for KOTOR2:
http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/TSL_Music_Improvement;95132
http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/TSL_Ambience_Improvement_Mod;95238
(they are NOT the same as the official music patch that was released, they're even better than that)

Add them to OP together with TSLRCM and the new M4-78 mod.

Wasn't there a mod that removed level limit from Arcanum? Was it even compatible with Drogg-kun's patch?

I know I played the game a few years back with the UAP and up to level 127 file in the hacks section. Is nice in case you choose to grind your level up, say at Liam's workshop, before meeting recruitable NPCs who only leveled when you leveled up.

This? http://www.terra-arcanum.com/downloads/arcanum/doa/arcanum_uptolevel127_1074.zip
The link doesn't seem to work.
Btw, Arcanum's leveling is retarded. Not only it uses this dumb "exp per hit" system, but also even if you only do about half of sidequests and don't visit the optional dungeons, you're still easily level 50 before the end of the game. And npcs that can join you later are stupidly under leveled, like Loghaire, Z'an, Raven or Franklin.

I am not sure it is 100% compatible with drog's patches as it does have a different executable been a while not sure if i did official patches -> level patch -> UAP or official patch -> UAP -> level patch

*edit I might have used this instead
arcanum_hacks_arcanum50patch-0.0.1.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?wx7s5as2er4x7f4


The most retarded thing about arcanum's level scaling was that you did not get exp from NPCs hitting enemies, for the most part your goal was to kill things before your teammates had a chance to act.

OK all your suggestions have been updated. I'll hold off on U6P until it come out of the 1.1 BETA.

Welp.

I see no mention of Ascension, the Throne of Bhaal overhaul which is compatible with SCSII.
http://weidu.org/Ascension-WeiDU-v1.4.24.exe
Nor do I see mention of the Ding0 tweakpack which consists of some rather interesting changes.
http://mods.pocketplane.net/D0Tweak_v20.exe

(Suggested install order is:

BGII+ToB
Official ToB patch
Ascension
Fixpack
SCSII
Tweakpack
D0Tweak)

There also exists a tactical mod for IWD2, I highly recommend it.
http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/dl.php?s=IWD2&f=IWD2/Tactics4IWD2.rar

I see no mention of Gothic 3 Community patch, which includes must-have adjustments to combat (Alternative Balancing/New Melee AI)
http://www.g3cpt.eu/download/list

There is an essential mod for Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, it speeds up TB combat.
http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/PoR2/index_editors.php

Seconding the NWN2 UI mods mentioned by Infinitron, they're way better than the others.

 

[Infinitron]

That link goes to the users profile and a bunch of mods. Which fucking one is it?

All of them (except the obsolete ones)

Glad to see you will be doing a NWN/NWN2 Modlist thread. Looking forward to it. I'll remove them once you are finished.

At least put them in their own section

Additional NWN2 campaign fix: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2Scripts.Detail&id=364

Any mirrors to the newest CO8 modpack? MODDB is such a terrible site.

I would like to play PST in the original resolution, but not stretched (I'm using a 1920 monitor). i.e. black bars on the sides. I don't want to change anything else. What do I do?

If you mean playing at 640x480 full screen but unstretched it sounds like you want to set your graphics card (or monitor) to upscale while preserving aspect ratio.

In nVidia control panel you can go to "Display->Adjust desktop size and position" and select "Aspect ratio" in the Scaling tab. I also use GPU scaling.
