Wistrik Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Full installs also eliminate the need for swapping discs (except for Planescape: Torment). I meant having the disc present in the drive so the game's copy protection could see it, not the swapping that comes from partial installs. I never do partial installs. Sure it takes lots of space, but I still have 400Gb free on the ol' hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taks Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 HAve you tried running it in windowed mode? Enter Full Screen=0 (space between Full and Screen) in the baldur.ini file, under the Program Options header. i was going to try tonight. same problem with IWD, btw. text blocks that come up on the screen are ginormous black boxes with the text on the top. it is almost unbearable. taks comrade taks... just because.

I am not sure though and I cannot check it, cause for some strange reason my game won't start... (I have a gts 8800 graphic card and windows xp sp2) I hope that helped... I think therefore I am? Could be! Or is it really someone else Who only thinks he's me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taks Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 hmmm... i am using the 32-bit version... perhaps i'll try THAT first. hehe. of course, other than some of the neato 2D backgrounds, nobody really plays the old BGs for graphics anymore. taks comrade taks... just because.

Wistrik Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm with Gabrielle. I mean, not literally, but as far as the IE graphics go. I think they convey the scene well enough. They are, after all, well-painted backgrounds with various tiny 3D objects positioned and fixed onto them. Of course, I used to think Pong and Tank Wars were cutting edge, once up on a time.

Dark_Raven Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Those graphics are very pleasing to the eye, one of the reasons why I still think 2D graphics PWN 3D. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently re-installed PS:T. i'm playing it in windowed mode, and before i started the game for the first time, i was told that certain spell effects, etc. would not display properly unless colour depth was changed from 32 bit to 16 bit. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

Wistrik Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Anyone playing BG2 might like to know that version 4 of the BG2 Fixpack has just been released, and on the 4th no less. G3 Website Edited July 5, 2007 by Wistrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Is this 'un compatible with Unfinished Bizness? THROWBACK I've always wanted tow rite BG3 where the character follows on after Silence, and takes orders from her, becoming her true servant, changes her nature, or perhaps aiming to supplant her. Heh, since there was no BG3, I always fit Marophet (my first character to make it through all of BG, NG 30th level Conjurer) into my PnP campaigns. Fun stuff.

Wistrik Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Is this 'un compatible with Unfinished Bizness? I don't know, since I use my own version of UB and my own fixes. You could try sending CamDawg a PM. Here's the README (scroll down to Version History) showing recent changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Pretty sure it's ok, if you install UB after.

Berserk Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I just reinstalled the whole Bhaalspawn saga and started up a Blade (rolling 99 in char. creation) using EasyTuTu. It's been a while since I played BG1 but it's still fun as hell. Now I just need to find the "Varscona" longsword and pry it from the dead hands of Greywolf and I'll be one happy boy.
