Traveler Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hello. I just want to research thoroughly before I start. I have "Saga Baldur's Gate" which is CDProjekt special edition 1 DVD containing all Baldur's Gate games, already patched up to year 2007, and additionally mods and extras (thankfully as add-ons, not already merged). Of course it has it's own unified installer in place, so there is no standard extraction model. What I'm currently planning to do, is to have a full BG TotSC install done on Windows, then patching that install with Widescreen Mod (of course selecting GemRB), and finally copying all files to FreBSD to have them running under GemRB-git. Am I going to run into some unforeseen problems? It's hard to tell which mods directly modify *EXE (so would be inherently non compatible with GemRB), as then I maybe would be more willing to have done some mega-install on Windows (BGT maybe?), then transplanting data. But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, as I didn't test how well GemRB would run vanilla TotSC. Are there any 1440x900 GUIs available for TotSC? Additionally, how does it looks at this resolution, is it playable? Link to comment
Traveler Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 I will have something like this without GUI mod, correct? http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3172/torment1440al3.jpg http://img.wsgf.org/f/u/imagecache/node-gallery-display/contrib/dr/198/ingame_16x10.jpg This doesn't look like 1440x900.... http://media.photobucket.com/image/totsc%20widescreen%201440x900/macbisch/bg1shadowerror.png In case GUI would be to small/distorted for me, would I will be able to play 1024x768 windowed? That's smallest window I could comfortably play with here I think. Link to comment

Traveler Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ok... "Can do windowed mode in TotSC and PST. This, however, requires a reinstall if you switch fullscreen <-> windowed. Thanks: weak-ling, Avenger." since 2008/ version 2, so http://www.gibberlings3.net/widescreen/ info is a bit outdated. Link to comment
Traveler Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Will probably try with 1024x768 or 1280x800 windowed as it's supported by GUI mod and should be big enough. http://athkatla.cob-...opic.php?t=3257 To remember- install Widescreen mod before GUI mod. Sorry for all those posts, but I couldn't edit them, as I could not force validation mail. Not true anymore. === All went really good! Big thanks to all who made it possible (GemRB, widescreenmod, TWM_GUI). Link to comment
