well, a reinstall has fixed my problem. even in my saved games. however, it seems to have fixed things that were there that I didnt know about. when I reinstalled just now and brought up and old save to test it (the profs worked wtiha new character following the full reinstall) it was after doing most of the SOA quests and I was in the shadow lord place (temple ruins..) and 3 guys spawned and attacked me. they had wierd names like "For once I agree..."...we killed them and I CLUAed the XP and bam, got my profs.

However, another thing...Kackicho (the kensai/mage who shows up before leaving Irenicus' dungeon) has no information attached to her...its like she doesnt exist in the game? All modules installed via the auto install guide that is pinned on this board...all went as it should so I guess its going to play the way it *should*

Thanks for the assist....oh, the dummy guy I put together to test the profs has some fierce stats but I might want a different picture for him...Shadowkeeper wont damage my game will it?

lol, I'd buy a sweatshirt that says that at this point...

I have a feeling your right too, but I gotta try...regardless I just ordered the Baldur's GAte original saga collection thing (had BG 1 but never finished) so I'll be complicating things even more shortly with BGT+BP

well for those interested, removing the undesirable components didnt work so I'm gonna blow away my whole install and try again...hopefully it will recognize and accept my old saves and work okay...

You'd have to do the reinstall, and progress in levels to see a generation of profs, etc... They aren't going to be retroactively reassigned in a savegame.

I know, I was CLUAing my experience to level 30 to see if anything showed up following the changes but none did. I've yet to reinstall so I'll be trying it tonight and hopefully avoiding starting over....

cool, will do. hopefully removing those it doesnt like will kick it all into gear....

many thank you's guys, I'll be sure to from now on

I want to say I just let it install them all...I believe all went through without errors though...uninstall that perhaps?

I'm a tech of no small measure (no great measure either ) so I think in terms of "if theres a problem, eliminate it" and the old faithful "reinstall/reboot".....

^^^^that was me responding by the way....

I just leveled my fighter kit (Bladesinger I think it was called) to level 11 and noticed that he hasnt gained any proficiency stars since his creation. And then I realized no one else had either. I went ahead and CLUAed to level 19 and noticed he didnt get any stars...niether did Shar-Teel (they are both the same class...) but other folks in my party did (Aierie, Keldorn, ect)....

Is this something that should be happening with that particular kit? If not, what levels should I be gaining profiencies? Another forum user told me it was

"Fighters, Paladins, Rangers, and Barbarians get 4 to start with and an additional one on every level that's an even multiple of 3. (sounds like every 6 levels to me...)

Clerics, Druids, Thieves, Bards, and Monks get 2 to start with and additional one on every level that's an even multiple of 4. (sounds like every 4 levels...)

Mages and Sorcerors get 1 to start with and an additional one on every level that's an even multiple of 6. (sounds like every 6)

Dual classes progress at the rate of the class that they are currently active. Multi-classes get whichever is the best option among all their classes. The order from best to worst is fighter->cleric/thief->mage.

So any fighter multiclass will progress at the fighter's rate. Thief/Clerics, Thief/Mages, and Cleric/Mages will progress at the rate of cleric/thief.
"

Is this accurate? Do I need to shadowkeeping profs into my characters?

I'm running BP, with SOA/TOB installed. patched according to the directions and such (version 6 installed)....

Thanks a lot

Okay, I took a quick look at this, and made some fixes.

Question: do you have CtB installed?

If so, CtB OVERWRITES the TDD script, not appending to it. That would make good sense.

Well, I made a little fix pack, for the whole schmeal. Works for TDD and/or CtB. The CtB code in AR0309.BCS shouldn't hurt TDD(BP)-only.

If it does, just manually delete all blocks after this one:


IF
  Global("montjoinwithxzar","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    SetGlobal("montjoinwithxzar","GLOBAL",2)
    ActionOverride("xzardd",StartDialogue("xzarthxb",Player1))
END


And that should be that. It even opens/relocks the Harper Door on cue (I hope).

Get it from the BP yahoo site.

Cheers!

Hello, I've also experienced this problem and am very happy to see this post, but my question is: where is the BP yahoo site? Sorry if this is a stupid question...
