Some questions about the flexibility of available tools Options

[Vaeloran]

Hi!
I hope there's a good soul who will answer 2 things I was wondering about..

1) I see there are many mods for BG 1/2, but - how come there are no "stand alone" games, totally unrelated to the BG 1/2 plots? Do the current tools require you to start your "game" within the original games? So my question is - can you make your own game, with a starting area and other areas completely from scratch? I mean, without Candlekeep, Irenicus' prison or anything else related to those games?
2 subquestions; can you make a 2nd (or 3rd) start game button with the name of your game on it? (You know - I'm talking about the window when you're prompted to select "Shadows of Amn" or "Throne of Bhaal")
What about the world map? Is it possible to make a custom one?

Is this a difficult task?


2) How difficult would it be to make a script that takes away money from the player when he rests - based on the level of his party? (Cumulative level of the party * a certain factor = gold lost on resting)


Thanks in advance.

Welcome to BWL!

1) you would be talking about a TC total conversion. yes it is possible it is a LOT of work. WTP here is one TC
2) yes some bigger mods have changed the '.MOS and GUI. to have different backgrounds and renamed the buttons.
yes you can change the world map (again wtp is doing that check out the wtp homepage for my new world map /shamless promotion)
3) not my area of expertise but I would guess one could script that
