Infinity Animations has had a huge code overhaul and has now entered beta with a Windows version!

Infinity Animations patches Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal to support additional creature and character animations (referred to as ‘animation slots’ by the community). It also offers a compelling automatised process of making claims for these added game animations, acting as a central hub for anyone who would like to add animation entries to the game without being bogged down by issues of mod conflicts and incompatibilities.

A complete list of all the animations added can be found here.

Introduction
This mod represents a compilation of PnP related tweaks and various house rules which are designed to bring more consistency to the gameplay. It works on normal Baldur’s Gate II games as well as either of the two Baldur’s Gate conversion projects: (Easy)Tutu and Baldur’s Gate Trilogy (BGT). In summary, aTweaks can bring several classes, races, spells, items and creatures closer to their PnP counterparts, add more consistency to the gameplay by making sensible rule adjustments and eliminating exploits, and make it easier to distinguish between creatures with similar avatars through the use of recoloring techniques. The mod is divided into multiple components all of which can be installed separately and are completely independent of each other. More detailed descriptions of all components can be found in the readme.

New in aTweaks v3:
This major release adds several new components which are primarily aimed at bringing the Fiends of BG2 closer to their PnP counterparts. Legitimately missing abilities are restored and spuriously granted benefits are removed. The Fiends’ AI has been enhanced as well, and it now allows them to act in accordance to their PnP behavior and intelligence scores. Furthermore, summoned Fiends now match the allegiance of their summoner which allows the party to receive experience points for each opponent that the Fiends defeats, but it also applies the appropriate reputation penalty for each innocent that the Fiend murders. Finally, the nature of a summoned Fiend now corresponds to the alignment of its summoner. More information on the Fiend components can be found here. Another new component restores the PnP Scribe Scrolls ability to all Mages except Sorcerers. See here for more details on that.

And finally, for Day 12 of 12 (really long past), we have the long-awaited v4 of Qwinn’s PS:T mods, all with new Polish translations and a bunch of new features!

Version 4 of the Fixpack adds a dozen engine fixes and over 100 non-engine bug fixes. Just as a taste: hit point bonuses from constitution at high levels fixed, no more wiping out whole wards full of innocents and having your alignment barely twitch, the luck statistic is fixed, item dialogues interfering with cutscene dialogues is fixed, you can demand compensation from the Lim Lim merchant if it runs away, and you can now enjoy even more abuse from Annah when you try to remove her armor! That just counts as 6 of the over 100 brand new fixes, see the readme for more.

Unfinished Business restores a bunch of new banters and sounds (you can now -hear- Fhjull Forked Tongue muttering and cursing as he wanders around his lab, just as an example), and even adds two new music themes from the PS:T soundtrack: the Alternate Smoldering Corpse Theme (plays in the bar at night, original still plays during the day), and Morte’s Theme. Talking to your party members will now play their theme music. There’s also a new Restored Bestiary Entries component, which even adds some original artwork by SHS forum poster Leila to provide a portrait to go with the restored alu-fiend entry.

Three new tweaks in Qwinn’s Tweak Pack v4.0! Disabled Stat Minimums (you’re no longer restricted to a minimum of 9 in all stats), BG2-Style THACO display (because the original THACO display was grossly inaccurate and unhelpful), and QuickLoad functionality! All three by our master of assembler, scient the engine guru.

For Day 11 of 12, we have two releases. The first is the Yoshimo Friendship v2, featuring restructured code, bugfixes and TRAification, and the next is Jerry Zinger v3, featuring a new Russian translation by Austin, aerie.ru and Prowler.

The Yoshimo Friendship mod adds a series of dialogues with Yoshimo, our favourite charming knave whom we meet in Irenicus Chateau at the beginning of the game. Spanning the length of the time he’s in the party, the Yoshimo Friendship expands on the humorous rogue, adding to his story and giving the player a new perspective on the character. Written by Shadowhawke, author of many popular BGII fanfiction stories and contributor to the Khadion NPC mod, the Yoshimo friendship is a must-install for anyone with a fondness for the character!

The Jerry Zinger show allows the PC and his companions to view (and take part in) the live talk show of Jerry Zinger, well known Amnish celebrity! Shows are daily, and executed largely by cutscenes. The programme includes features such as “My ex is an evil mastermind” with Irenicus and Ellesime, “Families Reunited” with Aerie and “My husband’s mistress”, with Keldorn and Viconia! The Jerry Zinger Show features a brand new area, the studio, which can be accessed from the Den of Seven Vales. Jerry Zinger is voiced, and great care has gone into writing the juicy material!
