3. The install package will modify the BGMAIN.EXE file. It changes the starting XP amount to 100 instead whatever the amount normally it (7,000?? I don't remember). There is a backup in your SoA folder, so when you uninstall this mod, you can just replace the EXE with the backup.

So, uh... What is the backup called? And is it any of the subfolders, or just the basic SoA one? I think I tried one before, and managed to destroy my installation. Not I'm content to just wait.

It would be CA/Backup, usually.

The original BGMain.exe is actually in "C:\Games\Classic Adventures\Classics047\Backup\\" ... if the "C:\Games\Classic Adventures" is the mods installation folder where the Setup-Classics047.exe and Setup-Classics047.tp2 is in. I repeat it's the unmodified BGMain.exe that has the experience put as 89 000 as it should be.

Hmm, the CA Backup folder doesn't seem to have it... Was I supposed to switch it back before I uninstalled? <_<

It's in the component #0.
Actually, I tried to edit the previous message three times and was never able to insert the zero between the two slash marks...

So it's in "C:\Games\Classic Adventures\Classics047\Backup/0/" if you back the two (forward-)slashes. :P

Unfortunately my /0(backwards) doesn't actually have it. (See Attachment

I actually checked all the backup subfolders. Wasn't in any of them.

Hmm. Seems a reinstall might be on its way. <_<

Sorry Kellen, I think you will need to do a fresh install. I cna't figure out what is wrong, unless SBB can shed some light on this one.
