How many years was since you've began FotD? I'm still a fan of your work.

Of course, I also need to make it install on Tutu.

Awesome, looking forward to trying this.

I started in 2003 and released the first version in 2005. Nothing really happened until 2008 where I began working on this update.

Awesome, looking forward to trying this.

Yeah, so am I. :)

I played the game until the Bandit Camp and uncovered a number of new bugs that originate from the WeiDu conversion. Three spells crashed the game, several did not progress as intended, a number of creatures were allied by default, stores had items all messed up, creatures and areas were still having non-racial armours, there were incorrect or missing string references in all sorts of places, and so on. I also thought I had introduced a new game crashing bug which was impossible to reproduce until it turned out to be an issue with my sound card drivers. But now I am going to work on making it install on Tutu and BGT which will probably reveal many new issues. EFF v1 vs v2 and BG2 weapon proficiencies come to mind. I also have to remove the new FotD spells which are already in BG2 but that should not really be a problem.

If you don't see the light of the tunnel, maybe someone could help you.
There isn't many great mods for BG and that would a pity FotD doesn't have the rank it benefits.

I took an unannounced break there but it is a matter of me having been busy with other things since then. This update has not been abandoned and I will soon have lots of time to complete the last 0.01%. :)

Soon has become now. I have had a look at my TXTs and TP2s again (which is always a bit overwhelming) and I am ready to do things in WeiDU I only partly understand.

The ITM portion of the FotD code now installs on both Tutu and BGT. Most 2DA and IDS have also been taken care of.

Wondering if there is at the end a BGT version of this nice mod. It would be nice as it has been told to add to Bg1 part of the game, where mods (and quality of mod) lack ... :)

tx,

Yes, eventually. I have been more busy since the last update than anticipated. Still, progress has been made. I am working on spells now. Innate abilities and priest spells are done.

I am also very eager to see this mod run on BGT.

Thanks for your work, Echon!

It it once again time to bring you up to speed on the state of this mod. Since I finished making FotD a complete WeiDU mod I have been working on making it compatible with Tutu and BGT. In addition to accounting for the differences between these two mods, I also need to keep an eye on the changes from BG to BG2. Spells turned out to have all sorts of minor, mostly cosmetic, updates and were quite time consuming. I have just finished with the creature and NPC portion of the code and confirmed that it installs correctly. Only areas and a few leftovers remain now, and when they are done I will probably make an open beta release to test the new version properly.

Stores turned out to be fairly easy because they have just been completed. As for filetypes, only scripts and dialogues remain now. There are also various minor things on the to-do list but I would say I am getting close to a beta release.

Scripts have been completed. There was a little more work to do than anticipated.

Also, I really, really, *really* wish Tutu did not use its own underscored version of so many files. :(

Is the underscore hard to find in a danish keyboard?  ;D

This difference between Tutu and BGT adds a significant amount of work to keeping the mod compatible with the two of them.

Oh, I also finished updating the dialogue patch code recently. Next up is the worldmap.

True, but I hope you are using stuff like the Tutu-BGT conversion library from mods like BG1 NPC and BG1 Miniquests which should save you some time as far as that. Still have to do variable substitution of course but it's easier.

It also makes BGEE conversion much simpler!
