IA v7 & BG2 Enhanced Edition Options

[lroumen]

Hi all,

Long time since I was here. I have not been idle but at the same time I have had no time in my personal life to finish my last v5 game. It is with the vagrant party I never finished, but I should do alright now. I am at the end of SOA and I need to finish WK, but once you get past that it is not so far anymore.

Anyway, I was looking at v6 a while ago but then I also kept hearing that v7 is already on the way. I am not a big fan of mages and I do not intend to restart the vagrant party in v6, so I will wait for v7 to come out. Moreso, druids are amazing fun and it would be magnificent if they get more credits and tricks in the game so I am very curious what comes out of v7.

I do have three short questions.
- I could not find a v7 update thread. Is there any (ETA)?
- When the druid stronghold comes out, to which druids will it apply (e.g. also multi-dual class or to specific kit only?)
- Will IA become compatible with the BG2 Enhanced Edition? Or is it already and did I miss it?

Cheers!

> The kits can be properly installed with the latest weidu.exe (v23600) if you extend the .2da files with the "LAF fl#add_kit_ee" function shown here. Easy.
It could be tried, yeah. I do not know, however, how IA will install under lastest revisions of WeiDU. It had always been distributed with the classic Weimer's build of WeiDU. We never really did any installs or playtests with later versions.

If you really want to get stuck in the past, you could manually edit the .2da files ... but I would really not recommend that ! How, find out what the v23600 and the LAF function does to the .2da files when you install a component that has them and then don't use function... heh.

How well does the weidu.exe v23600 install the Improved Anvil v6 with the non EE BG2 with the v1.12 of the Baldurdash fixback ? Fine, just tried it, well yes, it won't open the readme file(well using a Windows 7, and D drive which doesn't have the Notepad installed in...), but does open the CMD.exe console... the new command is this:
README ~ImprovedAnvil/Improved Anvil_readme.txt~ , placed before the LANGUAGE ~~ tag, and hopefully you also include the VERSION ~v7~ -tag.
Really the only difference today is that the weidu.exe contains way more options than it did in the past, and it also contains the tiz-tis and ogg-wav handlers so the program is 3-4 times the old size.
And I suggest that you put the .tp2 file into the mods main folder, so there's no extra files...
