Hello community, the Baldur's Gate series are some of my favorite games of all time, now after playing a few times, I made a mod list to create the ultimate adventure. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a mod that I would've liked that would allow me to continue playing after finishing Baldur's Gate 2 so I could play some quest mods. What I want to do is to make that mod myself. Are there any tools and modding guides to help me make such a mod. And if it's simple enough that you could just explain here, that would help. If I do make the mod, it would be for myself, however if anyone would like to use it as well, I'll see what I could do.

Thank you.

You might be better off in the sub forum:

I don't think they allow mods on this website.


...oh, wait, you mean "modifications" not "moderators". My bad.

EDIT: On re-reading my post I want to add this: Don't get discouraged by the length of WeiDU documentation. You do not have to know the whole thing by heart. Making simple mods is pretty easy. Try out some of the tutorials from the forums I linked to first, and use WeiDU documentation as a reference. Check the forums; the community there is pretty friendly and should answer any questions you have.

The one thing you *will* want to use/learn is WeiDU. Pretty much every Infinity Engine mod in the last decade uses it, and if you want help from the modding community, you should become familiar with it.

Here is the documentation:
[url=http://www.weidu.org/~thebigg/README-WeiDU.html]http://www.weidu.org/~thebigg/README-WeiDU.html[/url]

Download links:

Next, you might want to check out the file format descriptions and other info here:
http://gibberlings3.net/iesdp/
IESDP stands for Infinity Engine Structures Description Project, and they've done tons of work to reverse engineer Infinity Engine to help with modding.

Lastly, if you want to get started, your best bet might be to visit some of the modding communities. The Gibberling 3 community is still pretty active. As are a few others. Check out the forums there; there are plenty of tutorials.

I agree with ZFR, however some of the links posted are outdated.

Additionally, you might want to check out also NearInfinity (to be used mainly as a browser because any serious editing and modding should be done with WeiDU):

The latest versions of WeiDU and NI aren't just for the Enhanced Editions, they support also the original games.

Thank you! I was looking for this link specifically because I vaguely recalled seeing a newer version, but couldn't find it. As for WeiDU, I had no idea a new version was out. I stopped dabbling with mods few years ago.

I've updated the links in my post.
