Version Beta 4

Platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
GitHub: Gibberlings3/Garricks_Infatuation

Ah, Garrick... so young, so sincere, so impressionable. But then, what bard would not be drawn to Gorion's heroic ward? Her tale is a legend in the making, and Garrick is there to chronicle her rise to greatness. Of course, he could not help but be swept up in the romance of it all!

"Garrick's Infatuation" allows Gorion's foster daughter to explore a closer acquaintance with her very first biographer through a series of 25 conversations. The flirtation is available to females of any race, class, or alignment and it begins shortly after Garrick is recruited. The mod is intended for the Baldur's Gate segment of the saga and is fully compatible with the BG1 NPC Project, though the latter is not required. At present, the EasyTutu, BG Tutu, or the BGT conversion is required. The mod will also work on Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition or the Enhanced Edition Trilogy (EET) mod.

The mod is currently available for Windows. Once beta-testing is concluded, Mac OSX and Linux versions will become available.

This mod is designed to work with Baldur's Gate Tutu, EasyTutu, or Baldur's Gate Trilogy, with or without the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion. It should be fully compatible with all other WeiDU mods. The mod will also work on Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition or the Enhanced Edition Trilogy (EET) mod.

If you should encounter any bugs, please report them to the authors at the forum. In addition, Garrick's Infatuation is available on GitHub, so fixes and changes can be submitted by the community.

Special Note for Siege of Dragonspear from Steam/GOG
Good Old Games (GOG) and Steam both package the additional content for Siege of Dragonspear in a method that WeiDU, the tool used to install this mod, cannot access. You must run a program called DLC Merger on your SoD installation before you can install this or any other WeiDU-based mod.

Enhanced Editions Note
The Enhanced Editions are actively supported games. Please note that every patch update will wipe your current mod setup! If in the middle of a modded game you might want to delay the patch update (if possible) as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. Alternatively, copy the whole game's folder into a new one that can be modded and will stay untouched by game patches. For BG:EE it is important that you install the mod to the language version you are playing the game in. Otherwise, the dialogues of the mod will not show but give error messages.

Windows
Garrick's Infatuation for Windows is distributed as a self-extracting archive and includes a WeiDU installer. To install, simply double-click the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

Alternatively, the files can be extracted into your game directory using 7zip or WinRAR. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-garrick_flirt.exe and the folder garrick_flirt. To install, double-click setup-garrick_flirt.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

You can run setup-garrick_flirt.exe in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

Mac OS X
Garrick's Infatuation for Mac OS X is distributed as a compressed tarball and includes a WeiDU installer.

First, extract the files from the tarball into your game directory. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-garrick_flirt, setup-garrick_flirt.command, and the folder garrick_flirt. To install, double-click setup-garrick_flirt.command and follow the instructions on screen.

You can run setup-garrick_flirt.command in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

Linux
Garrick's Infatuation for Linux is distributed as a compressed tarball and does not include a WeiDU installer.

Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify.

Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from WeiDU.org and copy WeiDU and WeInstall to /usr/bin. Following that, open a terminal, cd to your game installation directory, run tolower and answer Y to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lowercased file names. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet.

To install, run WeInstall garrick_flirt in your game folder. Then run wine BGMain.exe and start playing.

Note for Complete Uninstallation
In addition to the methods above for removing individual components, you can completely uninstall the mod using setup-garrick_flirt --uninstall at the command line to remove all components without wading through prompts. .

The mod contains 25 banters between Garrick and the PC.
