Einführung


Das Ziel dieser Modifikation ist es, dass jeder Bioware NPC genauso viele Gespräche erhält wie die anderen. Ausserdem geht er auf die Freundschaften und Beziehungen der NPC's untereinander ein, z.B: die Freundschaft zwischen Mazzy und Aerie, oder die Beziehung zwischen Jaheira und Viconia.

Die Modifikation beinhaltet hauptsächlich Dialoge für die Schatten von Amn.

Wir hoffen dass der Mod beim Spielen genauso viel Spass macht wie beim Erstellen!

Besucht die Webseite oder das forum um keine neue Version zu verpassen.

Kompatibilität


Games supported

IEP Extended Banter is designed to work on most Infinity Engine games. This includes

  • Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition (BG2EE).
  • The original Baldur's Gate II (BG2, or just SoA), with the Throne of Bhaal (ToB) expansion. Make sure you have Throne of Bhaal patched to version 26498. Check the ReadMe files related to your patch in your game folder and the BioWare website if necessary.
  • The conversion projects based on ToB, Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT) (as of version 1.1), and Enhanced Edition Trilogy (EET).



Other Mods Compatibility

IEP Extended Banter ist eine WeiDU Modifikation und sollte deshalb mit allen anderen Weidu Modifikationen sein.

Diese Modifikation wurde mit verschiedenen Installationen getestet und hat soweit pefekt funktioniert. Sollten Fehler auftreten meldet diese bitte dem Forum. Diese Hinweise sind wichtig. Darum Fehler bitte melden!

Vorsicht! Der IEP Banter Dialog-Beschleuniger deinstallisiert jeden vor ihm installierten Dialog-Beschleuniger, einschliesslich dem accelerator von BG1NPC. Dies geschieht aus Kompatibilitätsgründen, bedeutet aber, dass man besser keinen anderen Beschleuniger installiert.



Installation Order

➽ Although it is not required for IEP Extended Banter to function properly, you are strongly recommended to also download and install the BG2 Fixpack before proceeding with the installation of this mod.

  • Please install IEP Extended Banter after TobEx, BG2 Fixpack, and EET.
  • Please install IEP Extended Banter before EET_End and any final "biffing" routines.

Installation


Notes

If you've previously installed the mod, remove it before extracting the new version. To do this, run  setup-iepbanters.exe , un-install all previously installed components and delete the 📁 iepbanters folder.

When installing or un-installing, do not close the DOS window by clicking on the X button! Instead, press the Enter key whenever instructed to do so.

Disable any antivirus or other memory-resident software before installing this or any other mod. Some (particularly avast and Norton!) have a tendency to report false positives with mod activity, resulting in failed installs.

You can extract files from the archive using 7zip, WinRAR, ZipGenius or another file compression utility that handles .zip files.




Enhanced Editions Note

The Enhanced Editions are actively supported games. Please note that every patch update will wipe your current mod setup! If in the middle of a modded game you might want to delay the patch update (if possible) as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. Alternatively, copy the whole game's folder into a new one that can be modded and will stay untouched by game patches. It is important that you install the mod to the language version you are playing the game in. Otherwise, the dialogues of the mod will not show but give error messages.




Windows

IEP Extended Banter for Windows is distributed as an extractable compressed archive and includes a WeiDU installer.

Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify (the folder which contains the "CHITIN.KEY" file). On successful extraction, there should be a 📁 iepbanters folder and a setup-iepbanters.exe file in your game folder. To install, simply double-click  setup-iepbanters.exe  and follow the instructions on screen.

Run  setup-iepbanters.exe  in your game folder to reinstall, un-install or otherwise change components.




Mac OS

IEP Extended Banter for Mac OS is distributed in the same compressed archive and includes a WeiDU installer.

First, extract the files of the archive into your game directory. On successful extraction, there should be a 📁 iepbanters folder, setup-iepbanters and setup-iepbanters.command files in your game folder. To install, double-click  setup-iepbanters.command  and follow the instructions on screen.

You can run  setup-iepbanters.command  in your game folder to reinstall, un-install or otherwise the components settings.




Linux

IEP Extended Banter for Linux is distributed in the same compressed archive and does not include a WeiDU installer.

Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify.

Download the latest Linux version of WeiDU and copy weidU and weinstall and tolower to /usr/bin. Then open a terminal and  cd  to your game installation directory.

Optional: run 'tolower' and answer 'Y' to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either, if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lowercased file names. If unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet.

Run  weinstall setup-iepbanters  in your game folder to install the mod. Then run  wine bgmain.exe  (or  wine baldur.exe  for EE games), and start playing.




Note for Complete Un-installation

In addition to the methods above for removing individual components, you can completely un-install the mod using  setup-iepbanters --uninstall  at the command line to remove all components without wading through prompts.

Mod Details


The installer includes the following components. The number of each is the component DESIGNATED number which gives it a fixed install position, lets other components and mods detect it and allows automated installers to specify component choices.
