BP Fixpack v2 ReadMe
* TDD NPC Fix
This component corrects the dialogue references for Yeslick, Shar-teel and Kagain which otherwise prevented these three NPCs form being used in the Big Picture. It also includes the updated Shar-teel fix, which corrects her death variable and allows her quest to be completed. This component also patches the Docks area script AR0300.bcs without which the Jaheira romance will stall and includes a version of Lyros.cre (which will fix Xzar for BP-BGT and BP-BGT-NEJ installs).
* Robillard Fix
This fix, included as part of the TDD NPC Fix, corrects a script reference that caused Robillard's dialogues to get stuck in a loop after the first assassination attempt on him.
* Charlotte Tweak
This component removes the combat routines from Charlotte's character scripts. Installing this component, Charlotte will obey instructions she is given, whether issued by the player or by an assigned character script. Without it, she will both charge into every combat, even if without weapons, and will turn hostile if she or her familiar takes damage (from an area effect spell, for example).
* Revised BP Nerfs
This component is a revised version of Hlidskialf's BP Nerfs. It pulls some of the teeth from the Shadows, Spirit Trolls and Mists that can make some BP battles so 'interesting'. The Spirit Troll fix is unchanged from Hlid's fix: it removes the tedious attribute draining and slowing features of their attacks; the level-draining power is unchanged. The Shadow and Mist scripts are rather different from Hlid's versions: rather than simply removing the annoying combat features (improved invisibility + protection from magic weapons + spell protection cast as buffs, for example, or the liberal use of Mislead), I have either reduced the frequency with which these script blocks occur or changed the specific spells to less powerful versions. If you are travelling through the Vale of Shadows in NEJ, you may still wish to install Hlid's version.....
* Riatavin Fix
This component, created by Horred the Plague, corrects a crash to desktop which can occur during the Orgroth's Tower quest when the party returns to Riatavin. It might be necessary to do a
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("riatriat","GLOBAL",1)
*before* your party returns to Riatavin in order to spawn the encounter successfully if the CTD has already occurred in-game.
* TOB Pocketplane Challenge
This component, provided by Revan, fixes a noted bug in the TOB portion of BP which caused a crash to desktop during the second pocketplane challenge.

*****
To do:
- Kiser Jhaeri fix. Some BP users have reported that entering Kiser Jhaeri's cellar in Saradush (AR5014) causes a CTD. if someone could send me a saved game where this has occurred, i can make a fix for it.
- Purskal nerf. The respawning undead in the tomb under Purskal are a feature not a flaw, i reckon, but i guess an optional component for those users who don't want the undead to respawn whenever you re-enter an area might be a useful component....
suggestions, advice, comments, etc welcomed....
