Announcing Game Over Only on Party Dead, A MiniMod for BG2, (Easy)TuTu and BGT Options

[Salk]

Hello people!

Here I have the pleasure of introducing this little tweak of mine.
(downloadable here)

In short this modification changes the game over condition for BG2, (Easy)TuTu and BGT so that the game won't finish when the protagonist dies but rather when the whole party is defeated. To accomplish this, a workaround is used: when the protagonist is knocked out cold (HPs one or less), the rest of the party continues the battle and if successful, the protagonist will join them back (although in need of urgent cure).

Just like for Cursed Items Revision, I didn't code it myself but rather had initial help by Miloch and talented Ardanis/GeNiE do most of the work. This modifiation needs Ascension64 ToBEx v20 or later to work (if this is not detected, it will be installed automatically).

Thanks and enjoy!

Hello!

Sorry about the delay of my answers.

DrAzTiK,

I wish I could tell you that you'll be able to play Game Over Only on Party Dead on EE sometimes soon, but it'd be a lie. For one thing, the EE comes with its own "story mode" (from what I understand) and I think there is some modder that was trying (or possibly already succeeded) to do what my modification does, more or less. On top of that, I've no interest in porting my mods to the EE. I only play the classic version via BGT and I've not even played that for over 10 years. Sorry.

zelazko,

I don't think there is any technical problem in porting my mod to the EE engine at all. It's just a matter of convenience.
