Ajantis BG1 (Expansion Modification) für BG1 (mit oder ohne LdSk), BG1Tutu v4, EasyTutu, BGT, BG:EE und EET von jastey Die Ajantis BG1 Erweiterungs-Modifikation ist für das normale BG1 (mit oder ohne der Legenden der Schwertküste), BG1Tutu v4, EasyTutu, BGT, BG:EE und EET. Es fügt zusätzlichen Inhalt (Dialoge) für den BioWare NHC Ajantis ein. Für original BG1 (mit oder ohne LdSk) fügt die Modifikation einen Freundschaftspfad und die Romanze aus dem BG1NPC Projekt ein (leicht an die geringeren Möglichkeiten der BG1-Engine angepasst). Für Tutu, BGT, BG:EE und EET wird ein Freundschaftspfad und weiteren Inhalt für die BG1NPC Projekt Romanze eingefügt. Inhaltlich ist hier die Modifikation als Zusatz zum BG1NPC Projekt gedacht, daher sind (inhaltlich) wichtige Reaktionen von Ajantis zum Spielgeschehen hier nicht enthalten. Technisch kann die Modifikation aber auch ohne das BG1NPC Projekt installiert und gespielt werden. Für die EE fügt die Mod mehrere Banter mit Rasaad und einen mit Baeloth ein, sowie einen Rasaad-Ajantis Romanzenkonflikt. Für SoD fügt die Mod Ajantis als aufnehmbaren NPC ein. Er wartet direkt vor dem Palast. Der originale Abschieds-"DisplayStringHead" von Ajantis in Korlasz' Crypta ist für den Fall, dass Ajantis mit der HC verlobt ist, deaktiviert. Für den nicht-Romanzenfall wurde seine Aussage, dass er zum Orden nach Tiefwasser reisen muss, auf Konsitenz mit BGII geändert: Ajantis spricht jetzt davon, nach Atkatla zu reisen. Als zweite, optionale Komponente gibt es für BG:EE und EET die Möglichkeit, das in der EE vorhandene BAM für Ajantis Schild (grüner Drache auf goldenem Grund) im Spiel zu verwenden (sofern BG1NPC Projekt installiert ist). Als dritte, optionale Komponente enthält Crossmod für den SoD-Teil der Mod. Hinweis: Die alternativen Ajantisportraits sind nun in die Modifikation "Ajantis Portrait Pack" ausgegliedert. Das BG1NPC Projekt befindet sich bei den Gibberlings Three: http://www.gibberlings3.net/bg1npc/index.php Bitte beachten: damit Ajantis in SoD entsprechend auf die Spielereignisse reagiert, muss die Hauptkomponente (2. Komponente, das "Trackingsystem") der Mod "Road to Discovery" installiert sein. GENERAL INFORMATION Romance (BG1 and BG1:TotSC only): if you want to start the player initiated dialogues (or flirts for the romance) with Ajantis, select him and press "k". Friendship path: the friendship dialogues are available to all PCs. However, if the PC matches the romance conditions, the romance will be triggered instead (for Tutu/BGT/BG:EE via BG1NPC Project only: component Ajantis romance has to be installed. If "Ajantis romance" from the BG1NPC project is not installed, the full friendship path will trigger instead). In this case, the friendship will resume only if the romance was interrupted no later than LT 10 ("Lady , may I share my thoughts with you?...") via player-initiated dialogue (PID) or by the PC comitting to another man. For Tutu/BGT with "Ajantis romance" installed, the PID option to end the romance will be available only after the third lovetalk (the one about Helm). Two of the dialogues that are triggered by game events of the friendship path will also trigger for an active romance. For BG1 and BG1:TotSC, this mod uses "Zed Nocear's BG1 Trigger-Simulations" (http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?s=&showtopic=13858&view=findpost&p=119631). Many thanks to Zed Nocear for making these workarounds available, so that simulating numerous standard BGII triggers became possible! WARNING for original BG1 and BG1:TotSC players: *after* installing the Ajantis for BG1 mod, do not import for your PC a character that was exported from a modded game using Zed Nocear's BG1 trigger simulations, as it would break the "party rested" detection for the morning dialogue(s). For more information, please have a look at the files "BG1_Romance_Guide" (for the BG1 romance) and "Friendship Path Guide" (for the friendship path); both files are located in the folder "AjantisBG1/install". The file Translation_Guide.txt gives a list about which text lines are the same in BG1NPC Project, hopefully to save some translation time for the one mod or the other. INSTALLATION Make sure you back up your dialog.tlk file (and dialogf.tlk, if it exists), just to be sure. Currently, only the Windows version of the mod exists. Currently, only the Windows version of the mod exists. Using the correct install method, it should be working on MAC OS X and Linux installs, too. Extract the contents of the archive to your game's main directory. Run the "Setup-AjantisBG1" program. Choose the language you prefer and confirm installation. This should extract all needed files to the override folder. NOTE: BG(II):EE 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 as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. For BG1, it is recommended to start a new game after you install the mod. Ajantis will have his family shield, and the non-enemy detection as condition for dialogue triggering will work as intended. Technically, the mod could be played from a saved game without any game breaking behavior, though. If you have installation problems, or if you encounter any bugs, please contact me via e-mail (jastey@web.de), or post it at Kerzenburgforum http://kerzenburg.baldurs-gate.eu/showthread.php?t=42482. Alternatively, if you prefer an English forum, you can find me at the Gibberlings Three Forums: (http://forums.gibberlings3.net/). COMPATIBILITY The Ajantis BG1 Expansion Mod is coded using WeiDU, and it does not overwrite any files. The BG1 version patches all area scripts. It should be compatible with most other (WeiDU) mods. Install order is after BG1NPC Project. Bitte beachten: damit Ajantis in SoD entsprechend auf die Spielereignisse reagiert, muss die Hauptkomponente (2. Komponente, das "Trackingsystem") der Mod "Road to Discovery" installiert sein. Ich danke allen, die mir beim Erstellen dieser Modifikation geholfen haben.
