Problem with "Improved Inventory BAMs for BG"

[Doune]

Hi everyone!

 

 

I have a weird problem with the "Improved Inventory BAMs for BG".

 

I've just today installed BG 1 again to have a go from the beginning again.

 

 

I have a clean install of:

 

BG 1

TotSC

latest patch (5512)

Baldurdash Text update

Baldurdash Fixpack 1.1

 

To this I added the "Improved Inventory BAMs for BG" (v2, dowloaded yesterday from this site).

 

 

Problem: While playing at "color depth: 32" the inventory icons of the splint mail and the studded leather armor at the one store inside candlekeep (Winthrop sp?) were a weird mass of violet pixels. Right-clicking them gave a normal description without problems. Left-clicking them to move them onto the paperdoll crashes me back to the desktop every time.

 

When I reduced "color depth" to "16" this resulted in recognizable inventory items again, however left-clicking them again crashed me to the desktop.

 

After un-installing "Improved Inventory BAMs for BG" I have no problems what-so-ever with these items.

 

[When looking at the WeiDU.log and Setup-ImprovedBAMS.debug I saw nothing unusual or strange like obvious errors.]

 

 

Anyone got an idea what the problem might be here?

 

 

Thanks!

BG2 only supports 24bit at it's highest IMO.

Sure, portraits can go to 32, but at some point I assume the code goes unstable.

Why'nt you try 24bit colour instead of 32?

[Guest Aristothenes]

Clear up the above post, BG2 does support 32bit, but I'm guessing the tools the improved inventory people work with don't support 32bit output.

And 32bit cards _DON'T_ have a 24bit display option unless you find custom drivers or somesuch. Way to go, stupids...

I'd say patch it by running in 16bit

many thanks for your replies!

 

Sorry I didn't answer earlier, but I totally missed your first reply. (No time for playing BG didn't help either.)

 

 

"...you are playing this game for the story, right?... "

 

Indeed, I am.

 

And I don't care much about the look of inventory items since I don't see them all the time.

 

But, being unable to equip certain equipment pieces because just clicking on them crashes me to the desktop is a real annoyance. That's why I reported here. (For the time being I'll just kick out the improved bams, at least I can play normally that way.)

 

 

Thanks!
