This is like Australian/American Idol. No from me.

You will get a working version if you delete the lines in the .tp2 files that cause trouble. However, Imoen banters won't work and it will may with other mods that add npc banter. Best use bg1npc for bgt version 1.

Even if it installs, much of the content will be broken. I still say no.

Why doesn't everyone that downloads BG1NPC use it with what is was intended for, BGTutu? I mean it says that right on the site where you download it from.... sheesh.

Well, the fact is, a conversion was made for the classic BP-BGT-NeJ installation, named BG1NPCBGT, which worked fairly well. However, the advent of BGT-WeiDU with new naming conventions and other altered things resulted in the breakage of BG1NPCBGT. Therefore, it just needs revising, but no one has done that yet, and BGT-WeiDU is still in BETA.

And I really didn't want to spend a week repackaging version 9 for BGT-Weidu until I know all dialogs are rock solid in BGT-Weidu. I will probably work on this starting in September, I need to get the next big chunk of CA out the door first.

I'm no programmer, but a utility which runs through .tp2 files and automatically changes Tutu filenames to BGT file names (or visa versa) doesn't sound as though it would be too hard to make.

Like notepad replace ~_ with ~, except for the 8 character names that got truncated. Of course, there is likely to be more than that, such as ~FW to ~AR and all the area renaming.

[Sir BillyBob]

Several conversion problems:

~_NAME~ to ~NAME~ (these are not always the same)
~FWArea~ to ~Area~ (these are definitely not the same)
Area scripts (same as areas)
Item names (same problem as character names)
Character scripts (same problem)

And of course, spelling problems which I always find in BG1NPC (minimal though).

I am sure Ashara can spell well...

Didn't say she can't. There is a hell of alot of text in that mod. It is like a good thick book. I think I only found about 5 or six errors in version 8.

Anyway, the main point is that I have to open every BAF, ARE, and D file, read through it and fix all the pointers. Find and replace does most of my work. Once it is done, it would only be compatible with BGT-Weidu, not with BGT-BP.

What sorts of things need tweaking for BP?

[Sir BillyBob]

I am referring to the current BGT-BP beast, not the future BGT-BP-Weidu package. Since I don't know which character names have changed between BGT and BGT-Weidu, (Imoen2 still?) I will have to check during the conversion. Also, is the new BP using the same character names as BGT-Weidu? I don't know if any of the beta testers have really tried BP 1.7 with BGT-Weidu yet.

I wouldn't imagine so either. They still have their TDD-SoS-TS bugs to fish out.
