Alpha release Options

[aigleborgne]

This is my first release, it only contains a few things, should be seen as small demonstration.
Since no readme is included yet, some instructions below:

1. you must have ToBEx (latest version) installed
2. you must have Spell Revisions (this thread is interesting : http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=23689)
3. Detectable spells is required (first component of this mod). It will be included in the main component later on but it is separated currently because it takes a long time to install.
4. Enhanced Monsters has not been tested, it needs some work so I don't recommand to install it (all scripts are old version, no migration yet)
5. Enhanced Adventurers is the most interesting module to test. Read below what you can test.

A few things still need to be updated in core component, because of Spell Revisions. But it is not game breaking!

You can test these adventurers, ordered from the most dangerous to the least one.
They can all be tested using clua-console in any area, except for Davaeorn which should be tested in his lair.

I have tried to combine 2 things for spellbooks:
- variety of spells
- efficency

Spell Revisions help a lot to accomplish both, but it is obvious that some casters use less effective spells and could be stronger using "classic" spells.
Variety is also done with kits, notice that I use P&P opposition school, so there might be 2 opposite schools for some kit, which means (I think) more balance and more variety.

A few defensive spells are overused, I didn't want this. But without them, most casters can be brought down easily and quickly.
If someone have suggestions about this, I'm listening.

I'm aware that non-premium members can't post here so I will open a thread of feedbacks in another forum, link will be added in this post.

I've just seen that only premium members can download !
I understand why but I didn't spend thousand of hours to see it restricted to a few people.

Congratulations for the release !

Too bad though about the mod not being compatible with BGT.
BG1Tutu is extremely old, and EasyTutu old as well (not as much) and restricted to English. For a foreign version of BG (and Linux user on top of that), I fear that BGT is the only way to go.

The non-compatibility with SCS is not really an issue for me though. The two mods try to accomplish the same goal by different methods.

I have always thought it was better to separate both games.
I don't know how BGT handle pack of mods that would target BG1 and BG2 but I suspect there might be side effects.

Currently, what is the most used between tutu and BGT ?
Eventually, if BGT is the most used, maybe I could give it a try.

Depending of amount of time needed to migrate to BGT, I might not do it althrough.
