It’s the top center five slots, the ones that have potion bottle imprints on them, going by the App Store screenshot of the inventory screen.

There are neither bottle imprints nor any apparent significance to those slots in the game. I even double checked just now.

Hopefully this is a good place for my question, if not sorry.

I recently got the iOS port of Planescape : Torment and I’m finding the UI to be frustrating. How in the Nine Hells do I get inventory items into the quick item slots? I’m trying to use the scalpel on the zombies’ stitches in the Mortuary : the game says that you use an item by putting it in your quick item slot via the inventory screen, but I can see no such way when I go there. There are highlighted squares to move it around inside my inventory, on the right to drop it and in the center to equip it as a weapon. Position in the inventory doesn’t correspond to quick item slots as near as I can tell (they’re not the top rightmost four slots or something like that), all my quick item slots are empty even though my inventory’s full.

fwiw the scalpel is a weapon iirc and can't be placed in a quick item slot. Pretty sure any dialogue options needing a scalpel will just be available if you have it in your inventory (or maybe equipped? haven't played it in a few years). Can't comment on the mobile ui, I've never played it on mobile

His videos are pretty great to explore fallout modding, and I quite liked his BG 1 & 3 videos so will give this a watch when I get home

This is on the Windows version, so I'm sorry if it doesn't help.

Either Torment doesn't support Steam cloud saves, or I've lost my last save somehow :ohdear:, but I had to start a new game for this. Anyway, the only stuff I have are two Bandages. If I put them in the 'quick item' slots up top on my inventory, like so (one of the slots is very lightly high-lighted in purple since I have my cursor over it)



I can then access them in the main game interface by clicking the big back-pack looking icon on the lower left, here



You can see the Bandages appear in that list on the far left.

Now this is purely off of memory, but I'm thinking the game only lets you put certain kinds of things, like Bandages, in the quick item slots, and as the poster above said your scalpel goes into your weapon slot. That's where there's currently a fist icon on the upper screenshot. But most of the weird stuff you can do happens somehow through dialogue, and Morte just told me I should attack the walking dead to find the key.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
I should say, don't put healing items in your quick slots for Planescape: Torment, unless they changed it for the EE, accessing your inventory pauses the game and there's no cool down on using items. So you can just use 20 bandages at the same time or whatever.

Mivsan_NT started a completionist playthrough of IWD. The BG1&2 runs were great, so I expect this to be quite educational too.

I only just played through Siege this year and I rather enjoyed it myself. It has some funky items and I wish more of them could be brought over to BG2. I also think it could be a fine standalone mid-level D&D campaign for what it does.

If I want to do a romance I'm not normally qualified for in BG2EE would just setting the appropriate variables with the console work? My install is already heavily modded, and I don't want to mess with it to try to install the romance cheats.

Who has a heavily modded BG2 install and didn't hit the "romance everyone" option in the Tweak Anthology?"

Yeah IIRC there's just a [charactername]Match variable that needs to be set to 1, if you set that then that it should all work normally. If you've already encountered that NPC you might also need to check the [charactername]RomanceActive variable to ensure its set to 1 (1 = not yet, 2 = in a relationship, 3 = romance ended).

Extremely funny that due to cowled wizards not being scripted to care about casting done indoors that you can do magic illegally in the council building and not get accosted.

Surely anyone doing magic there would have a license, imagine being so brazen as to not!

google for the item filename would probably be your best bet

Yeah, I'd search in NI to find the item code/iflename and then if that doesn't make it obvious, then either a Windows file search or a web search for the filename should get you there

You can use the --change-log command in Weidu to check what mod affected items

Hey, has anyone used Notra.fr to make a BG1 EE portrait? It's not creating a sidebar thumb nail when I try, and I swear I came here for this same problem before, but I guess that was a year ago or more.

I'll try to check my previous posts in the thread, but if anyone knows I'd appreciate help.

Edit: I got it; I eventually just installed GIMP and did it myself; after some confusion about exporting to 24-bit instead of 32, it's working.
