GemRB 0.6.6 released!

GemRB is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine. It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment).

You can get it from here .

For this release, there were two main areas of focus: spellcasting and input. Casting is now properly difficult and time consuming, while in the input area there were many fixes for multitouch and keyboard shortcuts. On top of that this release brings the usual assortment of random features, bugfixes and internal cleanups.

For the details, try GemRB yourself or check the linked changelog for some highlights.

RPGD: Improved Asylum V0.96 Released!

RPG Dungeon

Version 0.96 of the Improved Asylum mod has been released! This version focuses primarily on enhancements to the adventuring party that has been present in this mod since the very first version. In particular, some of the items that these enemies drop have been significantly weakened. Additionally, the scripts have been improved. This is part of an ongoing project to improve the AI of this fight.

This version of the mod also fixes a bug that caused the game to crash when Breudayael casts one of his high level spells. He also uses his Time Stop spells more intelligently.

Improved Asylum V0.96 has both PC and Mac OSX versions available.

Gerri's BGT NPC Portrait Pack

Rosenranken

Kerzenburgforum

This mod provides a new game experience, making the big world of Baldur's Gate even more beautiful with many important characters now having their own portraits!
Great care was taken to avoid doubling of pictures, as well as not changing other mod added NPC portraits.
Only NPCs which are quest-relevant got portraits. The pictures match the NPCs' alignments, giving evil ones also evil-looking faces and vice versa.

Some pictures from the BG1 NPC project (G3) were taken, too. Many thanks to the modders, because it gave me (Gerri) the idea for this mod.

The mod is for the Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT) only.

G3: Widescreen Mod Updates to v3.05

The Gibberlings Three

The Widescreen Mod, by the bigg, allows Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter and Icewind Dale II to be played at previously unsupported resolutions, like those of widescreen monitors. Version 3.05 officially distribute a Mac build (x86 Mac with Darwine and Windows binary of <game> needed), adds an Italian translation, adds upport for some Chinese build of PST (thanks: hopecape, yyfeng and maoliyuanjiu), and adds a few bugfixes. Upgrading to this version is save-safe if done from 3.00 or later; upgrading is meaningless if you have a working installation of Widescreen.

The Widescreen Mod is available for Windows, OSX, and Linux operating systems.

G3: BG1Tweaks Moves to v3

The Gibberlings Three

Baldur's Gate, the original, is still played by some diehard fans among us. BG1Tweaks, by grogerson, reworks and converts sections of The BG2 Tweak Pack and several other sources to work on Baldur's Gate games. A WeiDU compilation of fixes, cosmetic changes, and tweaks, grogerson comments that "Some of these were fan requests, others are needed fixes, and others simply make dealing with the more irritating aspects of the game engine easier. Each component can be installed separately so the player can pick and choose only which ones they wish to install." With packages for Windows and Linux (Baldur's Gate is unsupported on OS X), the changelog is:

  • Updated to WeiDU 229.
  • Added BG2 Portraits option to Modify NPC Stats for Edwin, Jaheira, Minsc, Viconia and Imoen.
  • Added Move NPCs from Baldur's Gate.
  • Added Bardic Reputation Adjustment.
  • Added Breakable Iron Non-Magic Armor, Shields and Helms.
  • Restored Sellable Items, removing non-magic arrows, bolts and bullets from the coding. Magic bolts can still be sold to stores that buy magic arrows.
  • Updated Zed Nocear's AreaCheck emulation.
  • Corrected Weapon Animation Tweaks to be more consistant with BG2 and Dale Tweak packs.

CoM: Version 2.09 of The Undying Released

The Undying version 2.09 has been released with a few changes and fixes.
The Undying is a WeiDU-based mod for Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal. This mod adds two new NPCs who will join your party, Callisto T'sarran and Ninafer.

Callisto is a Chaotic Evil elven berserker fighter with a tragic past. She has a hatred towards the world in general and an undying hate towards those who destroyed her life when she was young. Nothing will stand in her way to exact bloody revenge on those who wronged her.

Ninafer is a Lawful Neutral elven fighter/mage who is trying to find her way in the world of Toril. She's your typical thrill seeking adventurer who is bored with the home life.

This mod also includes new encounters, which is part of Callisto's Quest to find those who wronged her in the past, new items are added, seven new stores, many banters and interjections and three minor quests. Ninafer will flirt around with Anomen if Anomen and your female character are not romancing each other. Their relationship continues into Throne of Bhaal. This mod incorporates the former Ninafer NPC mod and Desecration of Souls. As usual, The Undying should be compatible with most other WeiDu-based mods, and should be installed after all official patches.

Also check the forums for progress on Version 3 which will include new places to explore, more adventure and another NPC who will join your party.

G3: Version 19 of Sword Coast Stratagems II available

The Gibberlings Three

Sword Coast Stratagems II is a collection of mini-mods for Baldur's Gate II, affecting both Shadows of Amn and the Throne of Bhaal extension. Like its Tutu predecessor, SCS II is mostly a tactics mod, intended to make the combats in the game more challenging and interesting. Overall, playing SCS II shouldn't exactly feel like a whole new game - it should feel like the old game, but with your foes acting much more intelligently and realistically. Version 19 of SCS II updates the French and Italian translations.

G3: Version 19 of Sword Coast Stratagems available

The Gibberlings Three

Version 19 of Sword Coast Stratagems has been released. SCS is primarily a tactical mod for Tutu and Baldur's Gate Trilogy. The idea is to make the game rather more tactically challenging, rather than just making it harder by brute-force methods like tripling all the damage rolls. It also contains a few rule tweaks and ease-of-use features. Version 19 updates the French and Italian translations.

GemRB V0.6.4 released!

GemRB V0.6.4 released


GemRB is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine. It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment).

Since the last release was several months ago, this one brings both a bagful of bugfixes and some new noteworthy features. A lot of work has gone into unhardcoding the Planescape projectiles and the Modron maze, but there are still some big roadblocks on the way to make PST work properly. Then there was an assortment of improvements to spellcasting, implementing various casting failures and wild magic.
There were also a few usability improvements - the game type can now be autodetected and the free BG2 demo can be used to try GemRB without installing any of the full games. This is also the first release with the Android port included.

For a detailed changelog check this thread.
