- Generic bug fixes.
- Upgrade is save-safe.
- It is always recommended to upgrade.

generalized_biffing:

- Spanish and Russian translations.

Finally we can resume! This was the scheduled release for day 6, but due to the forum upgrade and then the subsequent breakage of the Downloads Manager, we had to move it today. Ascension64 has been busy at work, releasing new versions of three of his mods late last week!

The first of these is the new version of BGT. This update adds the option of having full music throughout the Baldur’s Gate series, and incorporates the majority of the Dudleyville fixes. On the bug fixes side, this update should permanently fix issues with Jaheira and Viconia among other minor bug fixes. Unless there are major issues with this version, this release is likely to be the final major release of BGT-WeiDU.

The second of these is an update to Hard Times, which has an updated German translation as well as a new bugfix, and the third is the next version of the BGT Tweak Pack, adding an Italian translation!

As part of SHS’ 12 Days of Christmas, we decided it was time for us to upgrade our forum software and give our forums a new look. IPB v3 comes with a slew of new and improved features, the most important of which are outlined in the thread below. A quick note is that the sub-forums will once return their vertically-placed selves later in the week. We are still ironing out problems and bugs, so if you find anything strange please report it here!

Download Manager Note
Unfortunately, due to a complication with the Download Manager, SHS’ downloads will not be available for the next few days. My sincere apologies for this, it is the worst possible time for it to happen with 12 days going on! As a result, 12 days is on pause until the DM comes back online. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Check out the new board features and the new look here!
