Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Modding Broken Visible Shield Mod :( Can you help!?!

Larian please fix this! It's a must have mod in my opinion. Should've been included in the game really, just like DOS2 had!

the july 31 patch did not address this issue.

Please report once again to the team.
Any modification to "EquipmentTypes.lsx" is being ignored

To make shields visible during roaming, it was by modifying a single entry in EquipmentTypes.lsx to make shield attached to a SheathedShield bone.
For cutscenes it was removing the "HiddenDuringCinematic()" attributes on the shield entries in the Armor stats file.

Any modification to EquipmentTypes.lsx is completely ignored ; you can enter weird stuff or even break the syntax and nothing happens. This is clearly a bug or something, this is breaking any mod that edit this file

The last patch didn't change anything, sadly.

Almost 3 month and still nothing.
May be it needs 3 years? Or critical fail 30 years?

this is a pretty constructive post, pinpointing the problem. Larian...please fix this. The Visible shields mod is a must!

It's really frustrating. Even though some players pointed out the possible causes of the problem, the VisibleShield MOD still cannot be restored after Hotfix 34

SALO, your promise to report to the team seems to be just empty words.

It's frustrating that Larian still hasn't done anything, but someone on NexusMods has provided an alternative.

While this mod isn't perfect, but it seems to be the best solution available right now.

Perhaps because of this mod, Larian's engineers don't care about fixing the shield display issue (after all, someone else will fix it for them).

Guys do you realize how hard is to stop playing, look over internet and find this thread, then come to post, just to tell you that this is a MUST feature, and even some people prefer this even over photo mode? (Don't get me wrong, the game is amazing) So this is just a fraction of people that really got a punch in the belly when u dropped it, can we get it back? there is no solution yet, and the file is already pinpointed (EquipmentTypes) can we get at least a confirmation it won't happen to downgrade to version 7? it means a lot to us.
