While I was putting up this post, I found out that the Really Shadowheart mod got deleted off of Nexus Mods.

Apparently the rationale that the Nexus jannies stated on why they deleted the mod was because the mod author iamy0urdad took content from another mod author without permission. Even the most innocent of mod authors can't resist the temptation of stealing content lmao. According to the jannies, instead of addressing the claims, iamy0urdad deleted his account instead, which is an admission of guilt.

You can find the mod on iamy0urdad's GitHub page and on a mod.io page, of which the jannies in the latter allow mods that take content from other mods without permission. Nevertheless, the GitHub version is one update newer and is more space-friendly due to the update being a de-clutter update.

I looked up more into the drama, and it is actually more juicy (and sad) than what I formerly presumed.

While developing the mod "Really Shadowheart," Nexus Mods user iamy0urdad found a bug that was present in the vanilla game while editing code for the companion Shadowheart. iamy0urdad found a hotfix to that bug from another mod called "Waterproof Shadowheart" made by another Nexus Mods user kelocena. iamy0urdad applied the fix but later found it to be insufficient so he had to apply more code fixes to the change such as editing strings. iamy0urdad soon notified kelocena that he borrowed her bugfix from her mod and suggested improvements to them that he made on "Really Shadowheart." The reaction iamy0urdad got soon became mentally-straining.

kelocena was furious at iamy0urdad, attacking him for "stealing" her mod because he did not ask her for permission for taking her hotfix. kelocena soon launched a harassment campaign at iamy0urdad, with many users of Nexus Mods joining. What they found is that iamy0urdad had a manifesto published under "Really Shadowheart" where he credits one of his influences as Norwegian black metal musician and later Neo-Nazi Varg Vikerness. This gave a ton of fuel to the fire, where the harassers accuse iamy0urdad of being a Neo-Nazi and that his "Really Shadowheart" mod adheres to Neo-Nazism by making Shadowheart a "tradwife" just because she no longer adheres to polyamory in the mod.

iamyourdad_qa_2.png ​

Sick of the harassment, iamy0urdad apologized publicly to the Baldur's Gate 3 subreddit r/BG3Mods and Kelocena (which she did not accept due to it being public) and removed the copied hotfix from the "Really Shadowheart" mod. iamy0urdad also added "Cancel your Disney+, tax the rich, repeal the 2nd, vote blue" as a way to stave off accusations of him being a Neo-Nazi and trying to get the good graces of the Baldur's Gate 3 online community, a.k.a., left-wing ultra-liberal Redditors and Nexus modders.

The admins of Nexus Mods soon put the mod "Really Shadowheart" under review. Due to ongoing harassment from Nexus modders and mod.io users who a-log him, iamy0urdad purged his account on Nexus Mods but gave ownership of his mods to his friends at the mod.io page for Baldur's Gate 3. Admins at Nexus Mods and a-logs soon interpreted that iamy0urdad is avoiding "administrative efforts" despite him complying with removing the "stolen" bugfix from his mod and admins soon banned the "Really Shadowheart" mod from the site and banned any effort to re-upload it, since the mod in Nexus Mods would be under friends of iamy0urdad. It's to note that iamy0urdad's biggest a-logs on Nexus Mods are probably people who are heavily pro-polyamory and wanted their polyamory mods to work with "Really Shadowheart," which is pro-monogamy.

iamy0urdad left his mods up on his GitHub page and his Discord server to constantly update them, knowing that he is safe to borrow code without permission, with his friends re-uploading those changes to the mod.io page for Baldur's Gate 3.

iamy0urdad's "Really Shadowheart" gets banned from Nexus (Posted by loregamer on RPGHQ | Archive)​

Below is the interactions that kelocena had with some Redditors defending iamy0urdad showing that she is still extremely bitter that her work is "stolen" despite the fact that all game code is owned by Larian Studios.

reddit_1.png ​
reddit_2.png ​

TL;DR: A mod author borrowed someone's bugfix without permission and let that person know that he took her change and recommended some improvements. That someone became ass-mad because he "stole" her work and launched a harassment campaign that later accused the mod author of being a Neo-Nazi. The mod author soon purged his account from Nexus Mods for more friendlier pastures, one that allows borrowing code without permission.

Unfortunately, I was not able to archive interactions that iamy0urdad had with kelocena before he purged the account and the Nexus Mods admins wiped out everything, so here is more Reddit slop that fries your brain as it pertains to the situation.

It seems that iamy0urdad also got ousted from the r/BG3Mods community. After sharing another mod of his to the subreddit, iamy0urdad was soon dogpiled by Redditors and a-logs for being a "mod stealer" under the comment section and tried to defend himself. Nevertheless, I doubt he will post his mods and updates there again. Excerpt of comment section below. (Archive)

I uploaded a dewoked build of Polished Crystal wi the last commits of 2025.

Post in thread 'Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread'

Happy New Year's Eve, verybody.
First, here is a dewoked build of Polished Crystal that should hav every commit up to 2025. I mislabeled the ROM name.

Now, I upload a build of Red++v3, which not only has all of the commits up until the archiving of the repository but also some fixes that made the code buildable.
This hack is actually quite old, though cutting-edge a the time. Aside from plenty of bugfixes, this hack backports a lot o features up to Gen 6 back to Gen 1.
Luna planned on making a v4 that was based on Polished Crystal, but, not only is that versi on hold, but Luna has...

No Alphabets 7.1.0.0 - Baldur's Gate 3​

noAlphaLogo_v3.png
Mod download link (RPGHQ) | Mod update description
orinEsque (additional help: Lancaster, Silver, loregamer)

Introduction​

This latest update to r/BG3Mods and Nexus' most despised mod features a massive AI voice overhaul to the NPCs (especially towards Ser Aelen/formerly Dame Aylin) and some bugfixes. Highly recommend that people with this mod to update to this version as there are instances of the voice fixes before version 7 that were cringe and outdated as hell due to how emotionless they sound, especially with Ser Aelen.

BEFORE.jpg ​
AFTER.jpg ​
realmsrestored.jpg ​
Before​
After (does not include Lunkbug change)​
With Realms Restored (does not include Lunkbug change)​

It is to note that the No Alphabets mod does not de-gay everyone. Alfira and Lakrissa, Nine Fingers Keene, Hoots Hooligan, and Raphael are the only LGBTQ+ folks the mod left out in the game. However, the De-Girlboss mod once updated to newer versions will turn Lakrissa, Keene, and Hoots into guys, making them (and Alfira) fully straight, making Raphael the only faggot in the game (makes sense since he's a degenerate devil).

General Changes​

  1. Gameplay
    1. No more "They" (T) in combat text. "They" rolled will now say "<Name of Person> rolled".
    2. Other NPCs
      1. Lunkbug (G) is now a female deep gnome and says "I'm your wife, it's my job".
      2. Nocturne (T) talks about his self-improvement instead of sex change:
        • That's not who I am now -> I'm a better man now
        • They were attacking who you were -> They were attacking your faith
      3. Z'rell will no longer do telepathic kiss-touch nonsense on you when the ogre is dead.
    3. Ser Aelen (formerly Dame Aylin)
      1. Aelen (non prisoner version) is no longer dirty.
      2. Aelen's eyes now glow correctly during magical boy transformation, etc.
  2. Bugfixes (Soul Cage, pronouns, and fixing Aelen)
  3. No Alphabets - NocturneDetroons
    1. This optional patch allows you to revert the contents of Nocturne's diary to pre-version-3.0, where he decides to rightly accept himself as the man he was born as.
  4. Voice Overhauls
    1. With the improvement of AI voice tools over two years since the mod was made, orinEsque (and Lancaster) updated the modded voices for the NPCs as they were not changed during this timeframe to the point of being outdated.
    2. Aelen
      • 193 Sir Aelen voice lines upgraded.
        • Emotionless voice issues fixed
        • Hoarse shouts/screams now sounds manly
        • Far more anger/annoyance when speaking about Lorroakan/Ketheric
      • Sir Aelen no longer screams like a little girl.
      • Sir Aelen's SFX redone to remove brokenness and tinniness.
    3. Other NPCs
      1. Lucretious
        1. Lucretious' voice has been redone but with the same voice.
        2. Lucretious is now very high quality and no longer sounds tinny.
      2. Nocturne now has a completely new deep voice. His faggy voice should sound posh rather than just plan faggoty.
      3. Sebastian has been completely redone with the same voice. The poor conversion of crying/breathy/whininess has been fixed.
    4. Some of the earliest changed NPCs with crappy voices have been replaced to remove tininess:
      • Hunkers Boolean
      • Kali Hammerhand
Here are the voice samples of the NPC Voice Overhaul.

No Alphabets 6.xNo Alphabets 7.0
Weak ass "No more"Updated
Aelen: Lacks Emotion / Broken BreathingAelen: More emotional and less disjointed breathing
Aelen: Emotionless BattlecryAelen: Updated Battlecry
Aelen: Emotionless GrievingAelen: Updated Grieving

Nocturne: Tinny and gay voiceNocturne: Updated voice

It is to note that not all samples were included in this post. See orinEsque's post on RPGHQ for more samples.

What's with the row of tranny kids in the "before" selection? I definitely encountered the tranny in Shadowheart's quest, and the circus tranny (fitting), but I thankfully never ran into whatever was going on with that.

Zerillo​
Rhett​
Ch'kk'ch​

According to the mod description on Zerillo and Ch'kk'ch (can be found outside Sorcerous Sundries):
Zerillo (T) and Ch'kk'ch (T), have swapped appearances to match their biological sex.
Click to expand...

Zerillo seems to have his gender set as 'female' despite looking like a boy. It seems that is a late change by Larian, since his gender is set as female in the bg3.wiki (change made on 9 March 2025) but as male in the Forgotten Realms wiki and the FextraLife wiki, assuming that bg3.wiki is always up-to-date.

Ch'kk'ch on the other hand is labelled as a female according to both bg3.wiki and the Forgotten Realms wiki, so I do not know how orinEsque got the idea that her gender is set by the game as male, unless Larian finally fixed her gender to be female in a patch early into the game since the pages on Ch'kk'ch on both wikis were made in late 2024 (the No Alphabets mod was made in late 2023), over a year after the release of the game.

For Rhett, the mod description states (outside the Rivington General):
Rivington boy (T) now has the right body (lifted from SniperChris' BetterAesthetics).
Click to expand...

I guess it just seems weird that Rhett has a male name despite being a girl and hanging out with two male adults to bully refugees (which is a bit sus) rubbed orinEsque the wrong way that she turned Rhett into a boy. It is to note that Rhett is a female according to bg3.wiki.

Ultimately, orinEsque assigning them as "trannies" is a stretch (except with the case of Zerillo).

Just fixed up the post to include a list of changes to the voices. Xenforo must have screwed up the post due to some bug caused by how I formatted the post (which is adding color to a list).

With that name, I feel like she wasn't originally set to be a human at all.
 
Because of the disk failure, I, aside from peeking a the front page, waited until everything ha synced... though one day early in the failure, I just gave in to reading and reacting a little.
Here are some updates to some dewokings I did.

First, here is the latest build of a dewoked Polished Crystal. Currently, there is a lull in the master branch because they a redesigning the Ruins of Alph to HGSS on a different branch. Therefore, this build is based off the Ruins of Alph branch.

Next, I used HexManiacAdvance in adapting @Frogger's pre-tested work into replacing the tranny-affirming message in the latest version of Super Mariomon into the memetic 'You will never be a woman.'
Frogger said:
Found it for ya.
Search "1E 1D 01 1B 16 00 1D 06 0F 0D 1E 16 FE 01 1D 09 FE 0D 31 13 01 1B 00 1D 06 0F 0D 1E 16 2C FF" in mariomon's rom for the tranny phrase.

I was thinking of replacing it with "You will never be a woman."
3B 19 31 00 2E 06 15 15 FE 1B 09 35 09 1D 00 05 09 FE 01 FE 2E 19 13 01 1B 2C 00 00 00 00 FF
Extra 00 for padding, I don't have room for 'real' or else the size will change.
Click to expand...
Frogger found the data, converted the dewokified phrase, and tested the results but did not release a patch or modified ROM out of some reason, though. I simply publicly released an application of thons work.

Finally, I used HexManiacAdvance on the latest versions of Pokémon Pisces, Pokémon Emerald Seaglass, and Pokémon Lazarus in restoring the original gender selection messages, though I had to take a few libertie, since I sometimes had less room.

Unfortunately, I am currently unable to replace the queer and tranny flags into the flags from Türkiye and Macedonija in that same Pokémon Lazarus. I could extensively modify Polished Crystal because the source code is open while I could redo the messages in the GBA hacks because text is laid out in a relatively straightforward way. (The most difficult part was the pointers, and even then I can always replace "1" and "2" with "M" and "F".) However, hacking images on a binary GBA hack involves not only pointers and the actual pixels but also palettes and even LZSS compression, making things very difficult. Otherwise, I would have removed the white borders from Emerald Seaglass a long time ago.

Here is some Redditor and Nexus Mods seethe.

How it all started​

On RPFHQ, someone notified orinEsque, the jeet modder behind the anti-woke No Alphabets mod and the coding of the anti-woke Realms Restored mod in Baldur's Gate 3, that Nexus Mods is under new management and will allow controversial mods. orinEsque, deciding to test the waters, used her Nexus Mods account, which has not been banned due to it being inactive, and posted her Dignify mod on the site. The Dignify mod is less of an anti-woke mod and more of removing sexualization of clothing. Description is basically "Give chemises to noblewoman. Give noblemen, Gale and Astarion more refined pants. Hardcoded underwear for companions so they can't be stripped naked."


The Baldur's Gate 3 modding community quickly found out that orinEsque is now on Nexus Mods and went after her.

Nexus community seething​

Here is some seethe from fellow Baldur's Gate 3 modders on Nexus Mods.

It's to note that magnetuning has made a mod for Baldur's Gate 3 that edits hag and goblins to remove "Jewishness."
nexus_mods_5.png

Apparently the modder kelocena, who was known for harassing iamy0urdad, the modder behind "Really Shadowheart," also seethed in the posts section. Why I couldn't screenshot it is explained in the next sentence.

Most surprisingly, the jannies at Nexus Mods cucked the Nexus Mods community by removing the posts seething at orinEsque and locked the comment section at orinEsque's request, while keeping her mod up and keeping her account unbanned.

nexus_mods_6.png

Redditors seething​

Someone soon posted the situation on the subreddit r/BG3mods attacking the moderators at Nexus Mods for defending orinEsque and soon listed all the problematic mods she made. Congrats on the Streisand effect lmao.


Here is some Reddit seethe.

Cucked by Nexus Mods jannies twice​

Admins at Nexus Mods soon visited the Reddit thread and clarified the situation, insisting that orinEsque has done nothing wrong to warrant a ban and the contents of the Dignify mod are okay. Cucked twice lol.

nexus_response_1.png ​

And Redditors are seething even more.
nexus_response_2.png ​
nexus_response_3.png ​

orinEsque scrapped the comments to analyze them and found out that many of the comments under the post were supportive of her and/or the mod, showcasing that a lot of the negativity around the mod even on the subreddit is astroturfed thanks to botted karma.

statistics.png ​

That's all to the drama. I forgot to mention, the user who told orinEsque to start uploading on Nexus Mods also publicize his disdain of RPGHQ and hope orinEsque ditches her home forum for less "radical" options.

Congrats to Reddit for giving more attention to anti-woke mods!

Wiki has it wrong. Sound like a boy. But the mum behindo says: "my boy". Yeah... a boy with double buns.

So while at it, you should absolutely take your time to mod shit out that was made to appease the people that are destroying the industry
 
Rusty, the admin of RPGHQ, has finished updating the site's modding platform MODHQ to v1.5. Take a look!

modhq_1.png ​
modhq_2.png ​
v1.0 (Archive)​
v1.5 (Archive)​

In addition to mass UI improvement, one of the features Rusty added is that clicking on a specific mod no longer puts you in the forum thread dedicated to the mod in RPGHQ, but rather to a mod page on MODHQ, where you can download the mod from there. Therefore, there is less buttons to click on the download link, as in the older version, you also have to press on the download tab in the OP to find the mod to download. Now, you can just press the download button on the right column.

There are some nooks and crannies that need fixing, and Rusty has handed off that sort of thing to some of the folks in RPGHQ, so let them know in the RPGHQ thread if you have any recommendations for improvements or notifications of any bugs that pop up: https://rpghq.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5262-modhq-1-5
 
I already discussed this with Romeo, but I should make this mor explici to the ones who read this thread.
The day after I uploaded my partially dewoked 1,1 version of Pokémon Lazarus, the 2,0 version came out. The trailer rubbed in the refusal of removing the flags.

Meanwhile, in the Pokémon thread, I wrote of my attempts of replacing the queer flags. I need to find where the data of those flags are located in the actual ROM, but I at least kno what and where the data of the flags would appear in RAM: 0x06004440
Queer and Transgender: 1011111110DDDDDD10EEEEEE10AAAAAA1077777710CCCCCC10FFFFFF1011111111111101CCCCCC01BBBBBB019999990199999901BBBBBB01CCCCCC0111111101

While I am still searching for them, if anyone knows where I can find those flags in the actual ROM file, I would be very thankful.
 
I feel bad about double-posting, but I got a breakthrough.

Given that you still haven’t been able to find them, I wonder if it’s something intentionally obscure like it’s not a sprite, but instead a command to draw lines directly with specific colors? I wouldn’t put it past a tranny dev to do that if he’s that paranoid about people modding out the flag.

A this point, editing the flags is technically within reach, but I would either need to find a way I can decode the LZSS compression or find the palette data.

Post in thread 'Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread'

A bit of an update:
The correct palette is #3, bu that does not colour everything in the tileset correctly.
I then used this guide: https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/29625-how-to-find-most-palettes-in-the-rom/
I ended up with a palette at D26BC4 (nearby the tileset), anchored at E37DA4, bu the colours look even less right... until I actually pressed the 'Next' button a the bottom of the app.

I tried modifying the tiles in th editor, bu that just forced a relocation of the tiles, even when the new tiles had less colours. The same thing happened if I exported the tileset...

Thank you so much. Here is my work since then.

HexManiacAdvance can detect which files are LZ77 compressed and therefore can be sprites. This means that HexManiacAdvance, in theory, can preview every sprite, but HexManiacAdvance fails to detect a lot of them. Thankfully, HexManiacAdvance can detect blocks of data then let me say tha the following code should be interpreted in certain ways, including sprites. I can even place certain palettes on this reinterprete data.

Another appreciated thing comes from the house tileset having an anchor. That...

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I found ou tha there is a MSM couple in the game.
I fixed the text by replacing 'boyfriend' with 'co-worker'.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I accidentally dewoked the 1,1 version.
Because of this, I applied the 2,0 version then dewoked and uploaded THAT version.

NOW you can pla your dewoked Pokémon Lazarus ROM in peace.
