Wait, so you're having issues creating BAMs? Try BAM Batcher. It makes the whole process considerably easier - but the source images need a background image of a specific color, either pure green (hex code 00FF00) or sort of a brownish-grey, can't quite recall, but there's several sample BMPs in the BAM Batcher that use it, I think.

Errors are generally a line or two above the reported error line.
Also, why do you have so many join variables?

Reinstalling mid-game is a BAD idea. That, at least, is not the fault of the Tactics install. Reinstalling mods generally messes up Dialog.tlk strings.

Locate the file Weidu.log and open it in Notepad, then copy+paste it into a post - with spoiler tags, please. "Spoiler" option is under the "Other Styles" menu.
I think you mean Kuo-Toa
IIRC, there was a "No valid replies or links" issue with Gavin NPC - see here. It should be fixed as of the most recent version though.

#495980 Ajantis, Anomen, Keldorn... how old are they?

There are different ranks in the order, so I'd guess that Keldorn is the only full knight among the three. IMO, Ajantis is about 20-22, Anomen a bit older, and Keldorn in his early forties.

Partial sample TP2, CRE-related stuff:
Most of the WRITE_LONG, WRITE_ASCII, and WRITE_BYTE stuff is because I'm too lazy to keep editing the CRE file. It's all in the IESDP, if you're interested. Technically a soundset should have more lines than that, but I didn't see the point in copying the whole thing.
It's pretty cool what you can do in a tp2 file, though - compile dialogues and scripts, rename existing NPCs, lock a door... The TP2 of the BG1 NPC Project has some neat stuff in it.
Any clearer?

You don't need to edit dialog.tlk to add names. If it's an existing CRE file, use this:
If it's your CRE file, use this:
To add to an existing dialogue, use APPEND.
COPY_EXISTING ~mycre.cre~ ~override~ SAY NAME1 ~MyCRE~ SAY NAME2 ~MyCRE~

Don't bother worrying about soundsets - just make sure that, when you convert the CHRs to CREs, you uncheck the "Exportable" flag. You can assign portraits in NearInfinity, or via TP2 code, like so:
COPY ~Vhersen/Character/i-VherL.bmp~ ~override~ // large portrait COPY ~Vhersen/Character/i-VherM.bmp~ ~override~ // medium portrait COPY ~Vhersen/Character/i-VherS.bmp~ ~override~ // small portrait COPY ~Vhersen/Character/i-Vher.cre~ ~override~ // CRE file WRITE_ASCII 0x0248 ~i-vhers~ #8 // override script WRITE_ASCII 0x02cc ~i-vher~ #8 // pre-joined dialog file WRITE_ASCII 0x0280 ~i-Vhersen~ #32 // Death variable, aka script name WRITE_ASCII 0x0034 ~i-VherS~ #8 // small portrait assignation WRITE_ASCII 0x003c ~i-VherM~ #8 // medium portrait assignation

RE: Viconia's voice: "your voice sounds strange" is a string fixer added by the BG1 NPC Project. Unfortunately, it resets all her sounds to her BG1 voice...maybe there's another way.
Um, I wouldn't know about those other mods. Never tried any of them.

I've always found Archers horribly overpowered - I agree with erik on this. Then again, there's several monsters in ToB that don't take missile damage, so I think it evens out.

I was referring to the fact that you installed Item Revisions, 1PP, Check the Bodies, The Darkest Day, Tortured Souls, and Region of Terror before BGT itself. But I don't use the BWS, so quite possibly I'm wrong about that. Maybe you'd have more luck in the Megamod Help forum?

1) Messed up strings from a weird installation are probably to blame for Viconia's dialogue issues. Why would you put BGT so late in the install order? Also, reinstalling mods can do very weird and unpleasant things to your game.
2) Please PLEASE use spoiler tags on your weidu log in future.

You don't really need specific permission for something like this. Just mention in the readme that Character X isn't yours and belongs to Wizards of the Coast/whatever author. Plus, you'd probably have a hard time contacting some of the FR authorsI just came up with another idea, but I'll keep that at my HD. This way I won't need to find an actual existant mage =P Although it might refer to powerful mages and such so maybe I need to ask for permission nonetheless? (It's not like I do not want to ask for permission because I'm lazy, but it's always good to have a backup plan in case of "No, you may not use this for your mod")
Check the Bodies just made you do chores. Actual depth and background could be a lot of fun. Preferably if it's not as buggy as CtB.
What versions are you playing lately?
It was quite a few months ago - can't recall. It was before the alchemy lesson was fixed, at any rate.

You don't use "Aidan" and "Eilthyra." You use the dialogue names. For instance, if I wanted an NPC to talk with Jan before he joined, I'd use the dialogue name JAN and MYNPC. For scripted in-party talk, it'd be JANJ and MYNPCJ. For a banter, it's JANB and MYNPCB.
Check out Berelinde's tutorials: Part 1, part 2, and part 3.
Rule: Scripts do not contain dialogue.
Edit: so the way that dialogue would run is as follows: (using AID and EIL as dialogue names)
CHAIN IF ~Global("EilthyraExists","GLOBAL",1) // you need to register a modding prefix
GlobalLT("AidenTalksToEilthyra","GLOBAL",0) // try use shorter variables.
See(Player1)
CombatCounter(0)
!See([ENEMY])~ THEN EIL AidenTalksToEilthyra
~We're talking.~
DO ~SetGlobal("AidenTalksToEilthyra","GLOBAL",1)~
== ~AID~ ~Yep.~
== ~EIL~ ~We sure are!~
= ~Okay, I'm sick of looking at you.~ // since Eilythra is still talking, you use Multisay instead. No need to reference her dialogue again.
//that EXIT was unnecessary: do this instead
DO ~EscapeArea()~
Modding prefixes can be registered at the Black Wyrm Lair, though you will need to register an account to post.
The override script is used to control your NPC's actions. What they say belongs in the various dialogue files. You can, however, use their script to ensure that banters occur only under specific circumstances, as described here.

About the Melf idea: what about Khelben Blackstaff instead? He was one of the original Chosen, and ultimately separated from the Harpers (forming the Moonstars instead) because of his more questionable methods. The Moonstars apparently counted a vampire among their numbers, and Khelben was also known for some of his more questionable dealings with evil groups like the Zhentarim. He could certainly be an interesting candidate for a forbidden spell
