it patches the BGmain for a creature (Remorhaz or tremor worm) and changes its speed. It is not anything that you would miss if you don't install it, you still get the creatures. As far as I can tell, it may only support English versions of the game at this point.

Does using an EXE patch rather than an effect to adjust the speed allow the creature to respond correctly to haste, slow, etc.? If so, could a similar patch be applied to player characters to recreate the BG1 walking speed when playing BGT or Tutu?

The code in the TP2 looks like it patches the animation slot so you may have to do that for all the slots if you want it to work with different platforms.

BEGIN ~Remorhaz walking speed adjustment (for ENGLISH version .EXE ONLY!!!)~

REQUIRE_COMPONENT "Setup-SoS.tp2"	  "0"  ~You must have SoS mod installed~

//ATTENTION! That could be valid only for an ENGLISH version
//for other version it's necessary to search for C6 42 06 0A 8B 85 9C FB FF FF C6 40 07 0A
//and patch both 0A at found offsets with 6 : ------------^^----------------------------^^

Thanks Hoppy

Deep in the changelog for SOS, I found a reference to Remorhaz; that it is a creature and not the author of the component, which was my first assumption.

This post, which is the only one I could find that discussed it:
http://www.shsforums...&...st&p=382618
is why I was asking for more information.

There is no reference to it in the walkthrough, so I won't know where in the game it is or what was wrong with it's walking speed until I play that far.

It is for the tremor worm creature which you won't see until after Chapter 6 in the Soubar quests. You may not see them at all depending on paths you take. It won't be anything game breaking or even heart breaking.
