As you know, Chloe v1.3 is out with new translations and a BGT patch compatibility.
I hope Lucy will be ok.

Unfortunately, there was no bugs fixed, because we're not modders or we didn't play to this mod.
But I'm sure some modders could help to refresh Chloe's codes. Chloe is still played and the BGT patch will attract more players. Actually, I know someone who would be ready to help to release a bug-free version, but this modder doesn't want to do it alone, because it's a huge mod and because files are big.

If someone is eager to help, feel free to post here (better) or contact me by pm (for shy people).
I guess there will be another update since I recieve the russian translation. (but I must take a big look, because there's a new .tra file for sounds, and they change the .tp2 to use it.)

Ehm... hello there *waves*

I have a lil problem, not sure if it's okay to ask here... but since I not knew where else... *smiles*

I had the 1.2 installed and wanted to update to 1.3, so since most say I need to delete the old version first I uninstalled it and installed the 1.3 version.
I had a party-game with Chloe inside party already and have the trouble now that in that save-file Chloe is made a Fighter instead of Kensai and her blades are unusable - actually needed to stop the game while it loaded else the blade killed it something about not Lanthander'people not worthy to hold the weapon.

I am pretty new to all this weidu-stuff and started playing BG2 a bit ago only, so: Was my way wrong and the 'new' Chloe is only avaible on new playthroughs now? (so have to either start new or accept that Chloe will be in another party one day in future)

Thanks for your time,
Invis

Since you use a save game from version 1.2 where Chloe was already in the party, it is very unlikely that Chloe 1.3 changed the class. Your Chloe character is in the save game, with its current level and inventory, among other things, so she should be unchanged.
You also mention you have to stop the game while it's loading because the swords kill Chloe. So how can you know that she's become a figher? Did you load the save game with an editor like Shadow Keeper or Near Infinity? Could you have made a mistake and changed her class in the save game, while in the editor?
You may want to reload another (older maybe) save game and check.

Basically, unless you wanted to play in one of the new languages available or with BGT, you didn't need to update. If we can't find any other explanation, maybe you should try to uninstall Chloe 1.3, then reinstall Chloe V1.2.

I had a quick look at the changes in version 1.3. The change in the death variable (as mentioned in the v1.3 changes) used for Chloe, to avoid a conflict with a character in BG1 having the same name, has a big impact in your case on the behaviour of the weapons.
In your case, the character is taken from the save game, so the death variable she has is the one from version 1.2, before the change. However the script checking that nobody else is wielding a wrong weapon is checking against the new value of the death variable.

As for the kit issue, it appears that her kit is not the standard Kensai but a dedicated, exclusive kit (notable difference is she can't dual class, it seems). The value assigned to the kit is determined during installation of the mod. Since you have a character in the save game which has a kit value assigned in your previous installation, it is likely to be different from the new one assigned during installation of version 1.3. The consequence is that the game, because it cannot match the kit value in the Chloe character from the game with the value of the Kensai kit in the new installation, will ignore the kit and just consider her as a simple fighter (the base class).

You could overcome these two issues by simply restarting from an older save game, where you didn't yet get into the area where you meet her (I don't know which one it is). It may require going back to a game before talking to the Duke. My previous suggestion to return to 1.2 was bad in the light of the information I found in the mod and mentioned above, so keep version 1.3 in any case to avoid problems with your BGT installation.

Well as said I'm pretty new to this weidu-things, only installed before never tried to change, so maybe I made a mistake there:
- I uninstalled Chloe 1.2 over the Setup.exe
- I deleted the files and the folder in my BG'Folder
- I extracted the new files from 1.3 into my BG-Folder
- In installed Chloe 1.3

I am using BGT, but installed Chloe 1.2 first after I finished the BG1 part as the info said.

Not sure if I made a mistake there, but the class of Chloe changed to 'Fighter' and her only sword - I actually not even got her Scimitar only the Shortsword - changed 'red' for unusuable and killed her directly.
Only way to stop it was to pause the game while it still loaded to the game 'began' so that I could enter the inventory and take the shortsword off, but well that didn't fix the problem of her class was changed.

Well since I only played for like 2 or 3 hours in BG2 yet I will start new again and directly install Chloe 1.3 in hope that this way it gets fixed again.
Just was asking around here so I know for future updates - for this oder anotehr mod - how to 'really' update it and not break stuff *smiles*

Oh and only time I used Shadowkeeper was to give me 10'000 Gold to test if making her leave the party and taking her back in in this tavern would fix the class-problem, but didn't work either. So I just start new and see if it works when I meet her in the pocket air plane again.

Hmm, I checked it and Chloe doesn't change the class, if I uninstall Version 1.2 and install 1.3...
That Chloe die by her Sword figures by the death variable, because it changes from "chloe" to "rchloe" and only "rchloe" can use that sword (in savegames the DV will be stored, this caused this bug!)
Did you start a new game and check if the bugs appearing there?
I think you have to start a new game...

(Excuse my bad english please... )

Chloe will be created in the first level of Chateau Irenicus [AR0602] (and moved then to the Air Plane [AR0601]), so you must start a new BG2 game, to get the "new" chloe...
