Realms Restored 4.2 — Baldur's Gate 3

[orinEsque]

No Alphabets patch need to be patched up to 7.0

Nope nothing needs updating for RR NA patch. I checked.

Mod manager gave a red warning because of version mismatch but if it doesnt matter I take your word.

Larian's mod manager is to be ignored. Always.

It was BG3ModManager, the red error disappeared after I closed and reopened it.

BG3MM inconsistently (though correctly) shows that mod requirements have a version number mismatch. I'll put up an update later today, but it's not a big deal. You can just ignore it

Some of the harpers from act 2 and absolute members from the moonshine towers still show their previous models (actually almost all), I don't what could be the cause I did put the mods at the very end just in case, maybe the mod Trials of Tav, the roguelike mod is responsible ?

edit : its not I just removed it to try and still see the old vanilla models

Will do, but it will take some time on a new save because this one will go down the drain.

@orinEsque @loregamer surely there's a debug console you guys can enable to do testing faster than manual saves?

You can go into modding tools due, but you're level 1 and no flags are set. So it's annoying to do it.

It was one of my mods I can't really tell which one because I use a bunch of them but none are about npc it's weird, maybe one with new cosmetics or new loots anyway I won't be using them anymore thank you having no uglies in my game is much more important than some loots or haircuts

Anything that changes voices is a good start.

FYI about Virtual Textures :

There are two ways that Virtual Textures will turn black: Hitting the VT Limit OR incorrectly implemented VTs.

The limit is roughly 64 Virtual Textures - this is an engine limitation, rather than a bug with VTs. This limit could be any of the following:
64 mods that use VTs,
64 Tilesets,
64 VT "sets" per tileset,
There is also a hard limit of 48 mods that can override VTs loaded at a time.,

On a more technical level:
The following acronyms apply:
GTP - Granite Tile Pagefile
GTS - Granite Tile Set
VT - Virtual Texture

GTS/GTP stores VTs,
VTs store 3 Textures in 3 Layers,
Each Texture has 4 Channels,

You can have up to 64 GTS files.

SE-mapped VTs have their texture data merged into a merged Tileset with no height limitation, which can bypass the limitation by loading them as a single VT.

Considering there's already 17 vanilla VTs + the SE one, that leaves us with max 46 mods with VTs. Here's the documentation for SE-VTs : https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se/blob/m ... extures.md (Template here https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/ ... escription)

That unfortunately excludes Mac players, but it'd be great to have a SE-VT version of the RR suite of mods so we can have more room for other mods with 'classic' VTs if we need.

Much appreciated. We'll likely concept VTs to regular texture... finding the right shader is always the painful part.

[Luckmann]

I am not sure if this is caused by Realms Restored or a vanilla bug (I have a vague recollection of something similar in one of our two previous runs) but since you have specifically asked if someone notices mismatched race assignment with bonuses:

I just ran across this undead human gentleman in the encounter around the monument/hidden Shar temple in central Reithwin:


This is an encounter that can be completely missed if someone does the whole Thaniel/Oliver thing before going to central Reithwin, btw.

Edit: I just realized that I wasn't clear on what the issue is that I noticed: He's got Halfling Luck and Brave.

This explains a lot actually. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Mystra's dress was turning black for me inconsistently while testing. Thanks for sharing

Big new mod got released: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/16830
Any interest in working your magics for the Early Access NPCs?

Saw this earlier, i think the heads will automatically be replaced. Skin color and hair style is what needs checking. Since this is Early access restoration rather than some ****** magical unicorn mod, I personally won't mind it being fixed as part of RR if its actually needed.

Realms Restored Heads is incompatible with Really Shadowheart. When I enable the heads file, Shadowheart goes back to having a gigachad jawline. I tried placing Really Shadowheart under Heads and it didn't fix it. And it's definitely the heads file. I disabled and re-enabled every mod one-by-one. (Edit: I mean Shadowheart Tweaked, not Really Shadowheart.)

I meant to say Shadowheart Tweaked, not Really Shadowheart. My bad.

[A-Kira]

My advice - find a loose files version (when you not installing it as a mod, but replace some files in your game directory) on Nexus, works like a charm. And overall, when you edit companions always prioritize loose files solutions
