Updates for BG

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 10:35 am

Does anyone know where I could get patches or add-ons to BG1 that make it more like BG2. I'm looking for things like gem bags, scroll cases, ability to highlight containers with tab, pausing inventory screen, character kits, etc. I've checked a few sites (eg. TeamBG) but haven't come across anything except the ability to stack 40 arrows, not 20.

Thanks in advance for any help

The updates you mention are core engine updates. The code to do them would mean extending the classes compiled into the executable - in other worlds, it would be a source-level change. If you have both, though, you can try using the BG2 executable in the BG1 directory, though I doubt it will work. (although there seems to be a lot of BG1 stuff hanging around in BG2, either in the chitin.key file or as deadwood in BIF files.

it depends

I'm sure scroll cases and gem bags are possible... but inventory pausing is probably not... and TAb shows containers is defiantely no.

Changing the interface skin makes me feel more at home... I've only done the default page though so... a VERY long way to go.
