Baldur's Gate - BG1 NPC Project - Game mod - Download

BG1 NPC Project is an mod for Baldurs’ Gate, created by a group of fans.

This mod expands on the depth of character and levels of interaction with the NPCs from the BG game. When BG2 was released, one of the major improvements in many peoples' eyes was the increased level of interaction one could have with the party members. This mod was developed to allow BG players a similar experience. NPCs in your party now have banters with the PC , with each other, and small side-quests of their own. As we were unable to get the original character voice actors to voice all the new lines, we instead sought out music appropriate to each NPC to be played whenever they initiate banter. This musical package is a separate, optional package (to keep the download size down) titled The BG1NPCMusic Pack. You can find it on The Gibberlings Three download page, here.

Compatibility:

This mod is designed to work on Tutu v4, EasyTutu, and BGT , all based on full, patched installs of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II. Neither the BG2 expansion Throne of Bhaal nor the BG expansion Tales of the Sword Coast are required.

This mod will not install correctly under versions of WeiDU below v204. This distribution ships with WeiDU v230, which will automatically update your WeiDU version when you install The BG1 NPC Project.

BG1NPC is not currently compatible with Tutu v5 or v6. It might install, but is guaranteed to behave incorrectly. Don't say we didn't warn you. If you have legacy copies of these rebuilds, don't use them - Easytutu and Tutu v4 are the last confirmed workable platforms.

Sword Coast Stratagems, EasyTutu, BGT , BG1NPC , and BG Unfinished Business have made special efforts to make sure players can use these mods together without conflict. In addition, we have adapted our code to allow concurrent use of Sirene's Call on both Tutu and BGT . Please visit the forums for more information, especially on install order.

A discussion of install order and a list of compatible mods can be found in The Tutu State of the Modding Union at the Gibberlings Three.

For BGT, a discussion of install order and a list of compatible mods can be found by checking Spellhold Studios forums: compatibility and looking for specific install order recommendations elsewhere on the forums, notably Mega Mod Help and projects like BiG World Project (BWP). Even if you are not playing a Mega Mod install, these are the places where people have experimented with install orders using BG1NPC on BGT games.

Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from WeiDU.org and copy WeiDU and WeInstall to /usr/bin. Following that, open a terminal and cd to your BG2 installation directory, run 'tolower' and answer Y to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lower cased file name. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet. <br>Run WeInstall bg1npc in your game folder to install the mod. Then run wine BGMain.exe and start playing.
