Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

I think I found the background images by extracting the gui files, thanks @ineth.

 

JMO, but "modpack" would be a bit of a misnomer, being as it's pretty much just a TC, not a collection of mods like the original modpack. It'd be like calling KotB a modpack.

Sure thing.

edit - Question about the worldmap ... I assume you'll be building this all off Co8 8.1.0, so is it safe to assume you want the updated UI in the worldmap image? (The entire image consists of the map name list area and decorations, etc., not just the map.)

 

Yeah, my plan was to drop that image on top of a recombined To EE world map image, save it and split it up again.

Dropping "modpack" is fine also.

 

Here's the worldmap. It did almost fit natively, just had to crop a few pixels horizontally and a few more vertically and put the top edges of the wooden 'paneling' back on after.

 

And the splash.

 

Looking good Would you be able to split those into the 256x256 pixel .tga's that the game recognises by any chance? I would do it, but I just recovered the operating system on the laptop again. It seems 2 partitions on a 300gig hard disk is one too many

 

Yeah I intend to, just wanted to show you the results.

 

@Gaear Awesome mate, cheers.

I know that from the looks of things recently, most of what I've been experimenting with have been fundamentally cosmetic. Splash screens, videos, world map images, slides etc...

My thinking behind this is to find area's of this conversion project that will require workarounds to put into ToEE as they will require more thinking about and could potentially scupper the whole thing.

The dialogues, spells, protos for creatures, monsters, items etc are probably mostly already in the game already and require only minor tinkering to make compliant to the Icewind Dale module.

However we will need certain 3d models for some of the new monsters required, and there are scenes played out between NPC's and PC's that might require creative scripting to play out [IE before the final boss fight where Everard(?) does his Han Solo in Carbonite impression]. As far as I see it, these are the only major stumbling blocks left to tackle, everything else is just time consuming grind.

 

Here's the splash .tgas.

 

Cheers dude, I'll take a look when I get home from work and fire up the Craptop again *sigh*

 

And here's the worldmap. XnView tells me the transparencies are working, but those can be a bitch to actually get right. So let me know if you see any pink in-game.

 

Sweet, will do... When I can get the game running. Thanks Gaear.

 

I will have to check the IWD Bestiary link and compare with ToEE's bestiary to be sure which ones are missing, I'll do my best to find images of the missing monsters so you @XVicious and/or other 3d modellers can have a go at creating the new models.

I feel I must prepare you though, the list of required models and skin changes is quite long.
