No Alphabets 7.1 — Baldur's Gate 3

[Martian_Turtle]

Is there even a shred of a possibility that this mod can be used on console when Patch 7 goes live on those platforms? I have a 4 player Honor Mode session going almost every weekend, and I would love to see their reactions/ how long it would take them to notice. I imagine Larian would never host it on their official mod support so it's probably dead in the water. One can dream though.

No idea if it'll work on consoles in all honesty. But it's impossible for you to surprise your friends with no Alphabets because all of you need the same mods installed to be able to even play MP. Unless ofcourse you all are using mod organiser .

Legit, it's almost the only thing that they talk about in the Owlcat discord server which is as infected with the woke mindvirus as you can imagine.

It's always either "assume everyone is bisexual until shown/said otherwise" or "if this character isn't romanceable, then he/she must be aro-ace" when discussing games. I wish I was joking.

Why would you ever willingly go to a Owlcat discord server.

I first joined discord back in late 2018 when Owlcat only had Kingmaker released and WotR was just announced to be in development, I remember the conversations to be what you would normally see in your average RPG forums, and speaking about real-life geopolitics was discouraged.

Slowly and surely, however, as the years went by the people online began to get angrier and incredibly hateful about real-world events and wouldn't stop bringing that stuff up all the time. I even remember that back in June 2022 the mods of that server made an announcement pinging everyone to simply say that "anyone who doesn't support pride will be permanently banned" and it just went downhill from there.

Earlier this year things got so bad that you couldn't go to a single channel without seeing walls of text about one or more people complaining and bitching about Elon Musk or about a dead guy called Ronald Reagan. I didn't ask anyone there what did any of this stuff had to do with Owlcat games because I knew that I would've been kicked out of the server simply by asking that. lmfao

I guess I was somewhat expecting things to go back to how they were, but by the time I joined this HQ I had already accepted that discord was now a lost cause.

They did something horrible that day i got banned aswell putting a thumbs down emote, they are extremely pozzed and evil.

We all play split-screen together on two consoles so it wouldn't be too hard to get both modded. Assuming it would even be possible. But I'm getting ahead of myself now.
I started a new Honour mode run today, and combining this mod with BBA has been fantastic. I might have actually enjoyed the diversity throughout the game if the writers had actually put in some effort to explain the inherent multiculturalism. But like so many pieces of media in the last several years, it is forced into the world without rhyme or reason as though daring someone to ask why, only to be met with inane screeching.

If modding is supposed to work on the plebstation, what you could try to do do is to download this mod yourself, and then upload it to Larian's in-game platform thing via the toolkit, and then immediately download it on your plebstation before your accounts are nuked.

Come back and tell us if it works.

Do you still need mod fixer for the new version?

Backdoor the mod into a seemingly innocuous personal mod you upload on mod.io

See if you can make it unlisted, or name it something no one will download

[Finarfin]

Are Mods even on consoles? I downloaded the xbox version of BG3 and nothing.

[Nobere]

Larian removed the modfixer requirement for all mods with patch 7.

That is v4.1.1.5022896. Says so right down in the lower right-hand corner.
AFAIK v4.1.1.5849914 and v4.1.1.5932596 haven't hit consoles yet.

Do you still need mod fixer for the new version?

No; ModFixer should not be necessary for any mods anymore, and is in fact incompatible with v4.1.1.5849914 onward. They have even put in special code that explicitly blocks it in mods that have previously included the ModFixer. So you should delete the ModFixer mod and purge all mods of incorporated ModFixers.

If it's possible to access the drive the game is installed to on the console you can probably install it manually

[Luckmann]

@orinEsque, I'm getting an "Unexpected end of archive" on NoAlphabetsVoice-v5.2.0.1.zip when opening it or extracting with WinRAR; I tried downloading it again, getting the same result, so I suspect that it's ******. I didn't think it was worth starting a support thread for so I'm just letting you know here.

Modern consoles letting you access drives and file systems? Are you for real, my lad?

The last console I owned was a PS3, but I assumed modern consoles installed the games onto an internal drive. Dunno how it works beyond that.

If you could access the Paystation and XBAWKS installations of """BG""""""3""", I would've fixed the extra dice for """BG""""""3""" long ago, with the help of some plebs.

Unfortunately that type of moding is simply not possible on consoles. You can’t even upload pictures on your own console hard drive to portraits for CRPG’s let alone selecting or editing files.

Yeah, you need to actually jailbreak them first, and finding someone that 1) has done that, and 2) has the game, and 3) is willing to share the files is unlikely.

It's alright, we'll adore you from afar until you're back proper. The fact that you're even checking in here and doing the rollback despite not even being home is far beyond the call of duty.

As far as I’m aware the PS5 hasn’t been jailbroken ( publicly at the least) which make sense since is the current generation console.

OK, checked the logs, no error. Downloaded the file, there is indeed an issue extracting. Checked the hashes on the zip file, it matches what was uploaded to the vault server(not to be confused with the storage server), so there was no issue in sending it to storage.
Strange, I don't know what happened. Either the source file is corrupt, or a network error perhaps.

[Luckmann]

Also, @orinEsque, I hate to keep adding to your burdens once again, but I just noticed that the Install instructions still include ModFixer as a dependency.

Obviously a super-minor thing, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

A lot of instructions need changing , will get around to it. Patch 7 was.... huge.

I feel like it's a Network error on my part. I have fantastic Internet you see

I.. as far as I've been able to ascertain, nothing should need the ModFixer anymore, and in fact if anything has the ModFixer, Larian has put in special code to prevent the ModFixer replacers/files from working.

This is allegedly from the Larian Dicksword:


Of course, I really shouldn't speak with such certainty the topic, because as we all know, it's entirely possible they ****** something up somewhere. But yeah, we shouldn't need ModFixer anymore.

Twitter woke minions patched in and broke your upload. They knew it all will come crashing down the moment Ser Aylin opens his mouth

Thank you for the efforts and the essential update.

Only happened once, but I have had files that looked like they zipped properly, but the resultant file would not unzip and threw an error with any decompressor.
I tested and only that specific combination of files would create the unusable zip, despite the files being perfectly normal.
It was weird. The compressor did something that no extractor module could understand.

What program was used?
• Windows native zip
• Winzip
• WinRar
• 7-zip
• Something else
