Realms Restored 4.2 — Baldur's Gate 3

[Reichspepe]

@Finarfin @orinEsque I am not sure anymore, but I think so too.

[orinEsque]

Yes, I'm not sure exactly why, I assume because she's in the middle of a sermon or whatever. maybe it's ceremonial?

That's probably a bug, she should have a unique footwear, maybe it because you change her clothe?

Ah the modtroon that did the original edits (we've revamped her a lot since) removed her shoes and pants. Looks like the guy has a foot fetish

edit: we removed the gloves specifically cuz they were golden, btw

I mean I could be wrong too and none of the loca files except german.loca is needed but here:
(I did convert them all to xml)

It's the same as for the French version, you need to translate the lines for the ; German.xml
Some of the lines will have duplicates in the German_to_F that will need editing too, they should have the same ID but the text is tweaked to account for female player character.

The rest is like the German_to_F one, but for the ***** crap.

Hope that helps.

So the German.xml and the to_F is the only relevant because the ****** crap is not existent anyways with this mod?
Merci, mon ami.

Not with this mod, it's No Alphabets that remove the ***** options in the character creation menu.
The translations for Realms Restored is mostly NPCs name changes and adjusting some NPCs with NPCs dialogue and book/notes accordingly, player character is not involve in those.

Hello. I've heard Silver and some other biches made a huge mod so I jumped in and tested it. Just reached act 2 and everything works fine. NPC edits are well done and they fit in the lore more than ever (especially the druid grove).

So thanks for the hard work.

I wish Ser Aylin's voice was better. AI is incredibly good at sound these days. However, I think it's quite a long job to change the sound files one by one, so I won't make such a request.

Gee, I wonder which ******'s alt this one is....

Wow guys, excellent aesthetic choices all around! Btw is there a male narrator mod, or plans for such mod?

Already exists, check our the mod section: https://modhq.org/

@Lancaster I'm not fully up to date with the male narrator voices, i recall you made some too?

This is my most recent one, The White Wizard one I think you are already aware of.

[Tangerine]

Shoutout to the legend who just donated to moddershq! We got you and we'll put it to work 100%. :weeb:

I didn't know Karl Jobst was here. Don't you know this is a Billy Mitchell zone?

[BUG] I think you forgot about fixing the Male Strong category in the Character Creator. Vanilla Head 1 is the same as the RR Head 1. Zarys Head is the same as the RR Head 5. Also, the 4D vanilla head is named Emmeline, which is Shadowheart's mom.

In addition, I noticed another bug. If you use the magic mirror and try to change your voice to something different, it doesn't save. I tried changing my voice from male 1 to male 4, but it keeps going back to male 1 even when I confirmed my change to male 4. I was told this is a PlusUI thing, but I don't have PlusUI installed but ImpUI installed instead.

I don't follow the PlusUI vs ImpUI stuff though to know the differences. Is PlusUI an improvement of ImpUI or its own separate thing?

Disable No Alphabets CCreator. The voice selection should work.

Also PlusUI is an improvement on top of impui. It puts everything in separate tabs and is much more organised.

That was it! Thanks, keep up the good work!

Must be the fault of Sharran torture machine. She looks better though, maybe we should keep it.

Are you using the Heads file I sent you before release? I made a few changes. The vanilla MS options should be fully grey and Emmeline name should be fixed


I do need to fix Vanilla Head 1 being same as RR Head 1 and the RR Head 5 -> Zarys Head though. Missed that since they are direct file overrides

[Romeo]

I used the new version of Heads that just got released and when I put it in the BG3MM, it should already update it with the mod already on the left side. I'm deleting the Heads mod and re-installing it, so hopefully something comes out of it.

[loregamer]

I like this funny guy I would hang out with him

Ah the modtroon that did the original edits (we've revamped her a lot since) removed her shoes and pants. Looks like the guy has a foot fetish

edit: we removed the gloves specifically cuz they were golden, btw

Her hair might be a bit on the plane jane side for a Drow that thinks she is better than everyone else.

Nope, still not working.

I think you maybe put the mod you DM'ed me as the download instead of the updated version?

[Romeo]

Is it also possible that instead of grey'ing out the vanilla heads in the UI, you used a different background for them, like red instead of green?

The greying out is making all the heads look like drow from the image you sent me.

[loregamer]

Gonna redownload all the mods and check. Might be my error

I guess it's time to appropriate a hair mod.

You still have remnants of whatever version Lore dropped you before proper release of 2.0

P.s. there are a lot of portraits that got unique edits in Aesthetics or just new heads that need their portrait syncing. We gonna update that for next patch. Didn't want to delay this one since texture related crash issues needed fixing.

New Viconia did receive a custom portrait though, same way Hum M Durge did.

[Humbaba]

I am awaiting lore accurate fixes to the returning casts weaponry (club for Jaheira, sling for Viconia)

That doesn't make sense. You are telling me after adventuring with the bhaalspawn they're still using their noob gear? Not to mention its been 100 years since. They will have picked up some class appropriate upgrades to their weapons.

To ensure clarity and avoid errors, I'll document this process, as I'm unfamiliar with translation workflows like this.

I have the german.pak file and created a folder named Extracted PAK. Inside, there's a localization folder containing:

german.loca
german_M_to_X.loca
german_to_F.loca
Additionally, there's a Gender folder with two subfolders:

Female: Contains german.loca, german_F_to_X.loca, german_to_F.loca
Neutral: Contains german_X_to_F.loca, german_X_to_M.loca, german_X_to_X.loca
For my purposes, I only need the main german.loca and german_to_F.loca files. These can be converted to XML using LSlib by navigating to the Localization section.

Next, I use the Localization Helper. The XML file I just converted (german.xml) serves as the "old" XML file. Since I'm working on Realms Restored, I assume I need to process all three XML files listed under Translator's Resources. Is this correct or am I doing anything wrong?

Everything seems correct. And each xml under translation resources must be processed separately and packed as its own separate mod.

I'lll have you know that Viconia with her 18 DEX in bg2 is a real beast and she'd have found herself an extremely powerful artefact level sling to fight with. Same goes for Jay

I'll have you know with a set to 18 strength belt on her she's a formidable backline and damage soaker for le mages too. Her AC due to her dex was pretty **** good. Having her be a sling shot girl is just a waste. She's always my secondary melee tank.

Oh no no no, not with 8 CON you madwoman.
