In the original old BG you cannot pause the game during accessing the inventory, this made the game kinda of more realistic, and maybe difficult, but in the other side was a way of WINNING TIME to arrange the inventory and check things meanwhile the characters walk from one place to the other in the screen.

I really want to get ride off the pause during inventory, it is possible to play TUTU without this annoying feature?

Thanks!

You are playing in the BG2 engine with TuTu, so no it's not possible to un-pause during inventory management.

And BG2 also has this feature? I remember IWD was like this, but also BG2? Is so annoying :(

BIG THANKS! it will mess up my savegames or something?

It should be safe to install it mid-game, but I recommend you do a backup just in case.

TobEx should be preferably installed before other mods, like BG2 Tweaks for example, if you wan to take full advantage of all it has to offer, but it will not mess your game if you don't.

Also, I recommend reading the documentation before installing it, because TobEx can change a lot of things and you may not like all of the modifications.

Most of the features are optional (i.e. you are asked during the installation procedure if you want to use them or not), but the core component is mandatory. However, if you do not like some of the changes made to the game by the core component, you can disable them by editing, after the installation, one of the ini files inside the folder TobEx_ini. This folder contains also instructions on how to edit the ini files to disable a given feature, just read TobEx_ini.txt if necessary.

Well just in case I only installed the "pause" thing, I dont want to have problems with my savegames I am actually replaying the game and I am pretty advanced on the story, also Throne of Baal isnt there, is the BG1 Tutu, so I was scared something happens. It is working fine! :)

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I discovered it recently as I was searching for an answer to this as well, with the difference I wanted to disable inventory pause in BG2 instead of Tutu.

However, using TobEx with "Disable Force Inventory Pause" option just doesn't pause the game if it's not already paused, if you hit pause before going into inventory it stays paused.

So I searched more about TobEx and found the source code here.

As I am familiar with C++, I have modified the code to replicate the exact behavior of vanilla BG1: going into inventory screen will force unpause the game, no matter if it was paused or unpaused in game screen. I have recompiled the dll file and attached it if anyone wants it. You need to replace TobEx.dll file inside TobEx_redist folder before installing tobex with weidu.

I like to play it that way because it makes you think how to organize the inventory and plan carefully the quick item slots.

Needless to say this is an executable that can harm your computer, so use it at your own risk!

Hi gunman_. Since I am software developer too, I would highly recommend you to create pull request in original repository of ToBEx (to which you shared link), so anyone could use your alternative behavior or someone could update ToBEx to support it in main branch. I just would not want to miss your changes in some thread on GoG, since they could be useful for more people.

I understand what you are saying, but I don't know how useful would that be for majority of the players. The repository does not hold the compiled dll, and generating the binaries from the source was very difficult even for me, because it has very old dependencies that were difficult to find and integrate into VC++2010.

You fixed something in source code and would be cool to have that source code of fix in repository. .exe/.dll is not very useful for developers. Building .exe/.dll is not very difficult, even for outdated code, and if someone will want to adapt your fix, he could do it if he has source code of fix. Or even better, if you could to make this alternative pause behavior as separate option to ToBEx pause behavior (so we can choose between these two) it would be even easier to integrate it into actual ToBEx code.

At least you can show source code of fix to me and I will make pull request to include it into ToBEx repository myself, if you don't want to do it yourself.

I think it is an awesome fix. I personally thought that no pause in inventory made fights more exciting and, as you said, it also allowed you to adjust things as your party moved across the map. I bet there are more people like me that would really appreciate such a fix.

Yeah, I agree with you guys!

Thank Ergos time ago for the solution, and thank you also for the new fix!

Sure, please share the source. I think the licence requires that, too.

As for saving walking time, I mostly use ctrl-j for that.
