IE Modding Digest: Volume XXVI
Monday, November 24, 2008

With this 1st anniversary edition of the IE Modding Digest, we are nearing the festive season, but small things amusing small minds continue to present themselves. Might as well have convivialities every fortnight with these little gems…

Solve: 0.5 v = 1024 x 768
Don’t let trite mathematics stop you from playing Planescape: Torment on higher resolutions. the vanished one allows you to enjoy the Nameless One in 1024 x 768 resolution with several fixes to the Planescape: Torment 1024x768 UI pack, bringing it to version 0.5. But no, the answer to the problem is not 0.5, check your calculations before grabbing the pack here.

Alter-nym
If modifications change their names a lot, then stick with the most recent name of the modification. Sounds simple until you find out that the the ‘PST 1280x800 UI’ modification that became the ‘PST Widescreen UI’ modification has become ’Ghostdog’s Planescape: Torment User Interface‘. Sounds like a mouthful? Then you’ll love how it supports the 1280x800, 1280x768, and now 1280x1024 resolutions of Planescape: Torment. Lots of numbers to make your left cerebral hemisphere happy, and more pictures to make your right cerebral hemisphere happy. See, there’s something right here for every brain. Changes can be found here.

We’re rolling down the female animations...
She’s rolling out the female animations for Baldur’s Gate II with the Human female unarmoured sorceress and the Human female with light robe replacement animations for the One Pixel Productions project. Erephine invites you to give your spellcasters the shine they deserve, without having to cast too many Chromatic Orbs, and definitely not Stone Skin. Grab them here before their mint condition is tarnished by the slobbering of greasy hands.

RoaR, RoaR!
I’m tempted to call it The Rod of a Refuge just so that it can emulate the ferocity of a lion’s growl, but it’s just the Rod of Refuge modification for Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. Konalan describes this as a handy little item that ‘[transports you] to a furnished, one-room house with two containers to store equipment.’ Unfortunately, you are going to have to count to 100 while he hides it in a little corner that you will never find. Happy hunting!

Plenty of trinkets to celebrate one year of gastric secretions and to keep you rapt this coming December, and there’ll be more. Tune in next fortnight...and you’ll see if I just made a fool of myself.
