Idea for a Mod (A Good One)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.baldurs-gate (More info?)

I've been replaying BG1 again through Tutu and it's reminded me how annoying
the walking pace is.

How about a mod where if you are in populated area such as a town it will
automatically keep everyone hasted, but NOT when a hostile character shows
up or is nearby. Then when combat is over it will automatically haste the
party members again. This'd save a lot of grief when all you wanna do is do
some last minute shopping and move around quickly.

This'd be great for BG1, since you can't get your first pair of boots of
speed until quite late in the game.

This doesn't sound too difficult for a seasoned modder...

I would prefer that the game let you run instead - Planescape: Torment
does. (It defaults to running, which is good, because walking is *very*
slow in PS:T.)

Uh, all you have to do is -not- install the slower walking speeds 'fix'
(or was it a patch?). I think.

That gets you up to BGII normal speed, though fast speed is another
thing...

RCV: And with tutu, you can use Shadow Keeper to boost everyone's speed
up... you can have them screaming through the city.

Personally, I never minded the walking speed in BG1 - let you stroll
through the cities and countryside taking in the sights.

This would give an unfair advantage in battle, since you could run away
quicker from enemies. What I was suggesting is somethnig that doesn't
interfere with the battle mechanics of the game.

There's only so many times you can walk across town for a few dozen arrows
or to sell a 20GP ring.

Select your party, place your cursor in front of the store and hit Ctrl-J.

Yeah -- how may times do I want to admire the same building.

However, one should be careful w/ Ctrl+J -- skipping over
encounter/chapter "triggers" might ruin the game.

For some reason this doesn't work in BG1Tutu. Or maybe it's just my copy
that is borked.

Did you put the Debug=1 in the baldur.ini of the BG2/Tutu directory, not in the
BG1 directory, the command that allows cheat codes ie. Ctrl-J to work in BG2.

You are actually running a BG2 game using BG1 maps and scripts.

It works, I was just being impatient. I assumed when you pressed CTRL+J it
would be instant when in fact it takes a few seconds to occur.
