I haven't messed around with BG for months, and can't remember much code for modding. I felt like starting a new game, though, and wanted to first introduce a new item: a key that can, ~once a day, cast a knock spell (maybe custom knock, range zero and no animation). Before I try and re-learn the weidu syntax, would anyone be willing/interested in writing one to add to Adventurer's Mart/High Hedge?

The code for that would be nothing (well about ~4 lines to get the name and description of the item added). You'd just have to create the item with an editor (such as DLTCEP or Near Infinity).

I couldn't remember what clauses in the .tp2 file were used to detect which BG2 installation was being used (Tutu,SoA,ToB,BGT) and then installing to the correct store. I'm happy to dig back in later tonight, if no one can throw me a bone.

You can simply use

ACTION_FOR_EACH sto IN highhedge _ighhedge ribald BEGIN
  ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME "%sto%.sto" BEGIN
    COPY_EXISTING "%sto%.sto" override
      ADD_STORE_ITEM etc
    BUT_ONLY
  END
END

Thanks Wisp. I don't know how you guys remember this stuff. I've been using ArcGIS and R code for the last 6 months, and it pushed everything else out.

Is this based on The Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion's skeleton key?

it is an interesting idea but if you have a thief with 75 points in open locks do you really need it?
you'd miss out on the experience points for unlocking stuff with a thief as well.

but aside from those small things it sounds alright.

Nice idea overall but instead of such dull thing as Skeleton Key why not make it Chime of Opening, that would have much more D&D'ish flavour
