The color bleeding effect of DXT encoding is actually less of a problem than the way how the EE engine assembles the tiles to generate the map background in the game. Moreover, the bleeding effect occurs only if adjacent pixels lie inside a single DXT-encoded block of 4x4 pixels. Reconverting a "problematic" tileset with NI can fix these issues in most cases. (There will still be edge cases where the lossy nature of DXT compression can produce visible artifacts, but they are rare.) Example conversion of the High Hedge interior crystal animation with the very noticeable horizontal line:

[PST] Trias is vulnerable to several spell effects that make it impossible to finish the game Abilities like Morte's Litany of Curses or spells like Abyssal Fury that can apply death effects can prevent Trias from triggering the conversation that allows you to return back to Sigil and finish the game.

[BG1] The animated crystal in the High Hedge interior map has a darker shade and visual artifacts The darker shade is an oBG1 issue that is also present in BGEE. The visual artifacts are caused by the way how animated or secondary tiles are rendered in the game.

Btw, next release of Near Infinity provides a greatly improved TIS conversion feature that takes care of visual artifacts on PVRZ-based tilesets, handles overlay conversions between oBG2 and EE engine, and more. (Select "Export... > as PVRZ/palette-based TIS" from an opened TIS resource to test this feature.) A preview version can already be tested from the Nightly Releases: https://github.com/Argent77/NearInfinity/releases/tag/nightly

Good question. Maybe @CamDawg can answer that question? With every new PR it becomes more difficult to merge them with the repo since several PRs conflict with each other.

There is a PR for EEFP that restores these cinematics: https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EE_Fixpack/pull/89

I agree with Acifer that the water overlays work as expected in your test sample. Since the background of the water tiles are mostly solid black you'll see a very strong overlay effect from the water tileset. Adding some background to the water tiles will probably reduce the effect somewhat. In that case you could also tweak the "Overlay transparency" field in the ARE file (formerly known as 'Wind Speed') to adjust overlay transparency. Alternatively, do it the SoD way and use WBM video overlays instead:

It could be an issue with DLTCEP. The tool hasn't been updated for years. Does the map load correctly in NI? Did you check the height/light/search map overlays in NI's area viewer?

Did you maybe use the original "wrong" WED file from BG2EE instead? It has a tileset dimension of 80x45 tiles that actually corresponds with a height/light/search map size of 320x240 pixels.

I think you're right. My test script had some flaws which lead to misleading results. The outcome of these actions is indeed random when an unsupported parameter encoding is used. But in that case WeiDU compiles both script actions incorrectly for oIWD and (possibly) oPST.

Thank you. It looks like the game engine can actually handle both parameter encoding variants correctly. However, NI has to use the same encoding as WeiDU is using to prevent the bug mentioned in my previous comment. (And WeiDU made some arbitrary choices regarding parameter encoding for some engine variants.) See comments below.

OP asked specifically about AddexperiencePartyGlobal() which isn't actually used in any of the games. @squiros It looks like you stumbled upon a bug in NearInfinity's script (de)compiler which encodes and decodes the parameters for this script action incorrectly in some of the game engine variants. It'll be fixed in the next release. In the meantime only use WeiDU to compile or decompile your script that contains this action. Edit: The issue in NI has been fixed and can already be tested in the nightly release: https://github.com/Argent77/NearInfinity/releases/tag/nightly

Wares of the Planes is a mod that introduces a large number of weapons and accessories from Planescape: Torment to the Baldur's Gate series. The items can be purchased from a unique travelling merchant who is available throughout the whole game series. The mod is available for BG:EE, SoD, BG2:EE and EET. Version 1.1 improves the merchant portrait, adds a new subcomponent to restore the original PsT portrait and introduces several more unique items. You can grab the mod from the download link below. Download: GitHub Discussion: G3, Beamdog Readme

New release: Wares of the Planes 1.1 Changelog: Added new default portrait for the travelling merchant Added tweak that restores the original PsT portrait for the travelling merchant Added new items for sale: Elixir of Horrific Separation, Moridor's Box

That's difficult since PsT doesn't have any scimitars. But I'll add it to my todo list. Maybe I can come up with something of my own.
