Hi Guys! I'm new here!
My experience of modding is like making one weapon with *.bam-s, but I think it is fair enough 
So, I play BG:EE actually (BG1 kinda 5-time, just wanted to check EE). I have bard in my team. Skald's song (not sure about vanilla bard) radius is ridiculously small. I would like to change it (i.e. double it) but I cannot find correct files - just cannot.
Do you know what should I modify?
I'm looking to your fastest reply!
Greetings!

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit).
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

Okey, I was searching through all spells, but there are too many of them and I cannot be sure if it is bard song or it is not. So this it what I've done:
I was listening to all effect sounds in game. Bard's song theme is ACT_01.wav so now I am going to search this sound in all files..
Okey, I've checked this OP code. Here are results:
Checking spells..SPCL542
Found opcode Spell Effect: Change Bard Song Effect [251] (0 0) in feature #1 of extended header #1
SPCL751
Found opcode Spell Effect: Change Bard Song Effect [251] (0 0) in feature #1 of extended header #1
Done.
The second one seems to be Jester's song and the first one - Skald's.
These's variables don't look familliar to me, but I will be wandering around with them (gonna change those range to "party", because it is pre-target, but anyway this range/radius isn't clear)

Checking spells..And if you look at OPcode251, it says this:
SPCL542
Found opcode Spell Effect: Change Bard Song Effect [251] (0 0) in feature #1 of extended header #1
SPCL751
Found opcode Spell Effect: Change Bard Song Effect [251] (0 0) in feature #1 of extended header #1
Done.
#251 (0x251) Spell Effect: Change Bard Song Effect [251]So all you need to do to figure that out, is open the spcl542.spl and spcl751.spl with Near Infinity or DLTCEP, and read the resource key from that effect..
Parameter #1: Irrelevant
Parameter #2: Irrelevant
Description:
Sets the Bard Song of the targeted creature to the spell specified by the resource key.

Yes. I cannot edit range of spell itself neither an extension effect.
But I can change range of each of effect (AC modifier and so on) into party. And then it works.
Or do it The Imp's way
Thanks for your help. I can change Skald's song, Jester's song. I don't know how to change vanilla bard song, but it is not necessary. I need only Skald's one.
Have a good day, I will come back soon
