Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

Hehe yeah I've already started tinkering with it. I've already added the basic requirement of finding the IWD folder, will probably add some basic parsing to make sure it's a legitimate file and that should be enhgh for the demo at least.

 

Everand does have a couple of potions on him, and there is a "shelf" in each of the rooms at Quinby's inn and there was gold in one of them and gems in the other (Eravain's room). There is also a wolf pelt in a chest in the southernmost house on the far west of the town.

The "fine dagger" sounds familiar, but can't remember for sure.

 

Yeah, after I found that site, I did go searching for these items in our game, and they were all there. Well, I actually didn't look in Hrothgar's room, but everything else was there.

And I did try and steal from Everard. Boy, does he get pissed off when he catches you

I think the trouble I had when first starting to play our version is that the cursor is not changing shape when hovering over a container, and the shelves in Pomab's room need to be at just the right spot for them to be accessible.

 

Attached is a version of TFE-X that requires you to find a legitimate IWD chitin.key file when activating that module. It does a rudimentary check that the file belongs to IWD (it tries to fetch Accalia's dialog), otherwise it won't allow to activate the module.

I've pretty much tossed NearInfinity entirely in there, which inflated the download a bit, but nothing too terrible. You should probably add proper credits to the NearInfinity team where appropriate.

Edit: removed a leftover from the debug build that made you select the chitin.key file twice, if you've already downloaded please download again from the updated link.

 

Thanks
This is the easy part, which just does detection, but it should be enough for the demo. Later on I'll do the extraction/conversion.
Another thing, I haven't tested this with the old CD ROM version yet since I only have the EE edition from GoG. I've ordered the IWD collection from amazon but it'll take a while, so if someone has that version and could test it that would be great. Likewise for Steam (I should probably add a registry look up for that since the game files are less 'visible' to the user).

 

I have a copy of the CD-ROM version.

 

It looks like I am going to need to find my original CDs, too.
