I have tested the mod myself on Tutu, BG:EE and BGT, and it should work fine. However I would appreciate some additional testing and feedback. In particular, the mod needs to be more thoroughly tested for languages other than English.

Known issues for which there is no solution (at least for now):
1) the large portrait in BG:EE is a bit blurry. Unfortunately an higher resolution image is not currently available.
2) Finch's Glasses don't do anything (other than wasting a charge) if activated from the "USE ITEM" icon (they work as usual if you right click on the unidentified item and select "SCROLL"). Unfortunately the Glasses behaviour is hardcoded, so there is nothing I can do about that.

 

Starting from v4.0 BETA 4 the mod natively supports BGT and, unlike v3.0, updating Finch using the BiG World Fixpack is not required anymore (actually the Finch component in BiG World Fixpack will not work with Finch 4.0)

 

Please note that
- in BGT Finch is removed from the party during the transition to BG2
- in BGT the glasses maintain the original name and description to avoid changing the ones in Arledrian's shop

Erg, as for blurry portrait, did you by chance contact with Isandir in EE forums? He's the true wizard if it comes to portraits, maybe he could help with enhancing quality of the picture?

Hi Cahir, I'll try. Thanks

Uploaded new version 4.0 BETA 5 with the following changes:

- Fixed a dialogue bug affecting only BGT and only if Finch, Indira and Dynaheir are together in the party
- Added BETA number to Version (e.g. v4.0 BETA 5) to make easier tracking which version is actually installed

Uploaded new version v4.0 BETA 6 with the following changes from the previous beta:

- Added Dream Timer to prevent dream banters (i.e. the conversations that are scripted to occur when the party rests) from firing all at once; Finch borrows, with permission, the Dream Timer code and variables from BG1 NPC Project, like Gavin and other mods designed to work with BG1 NPC Project

- Improved scripts and modified dialogue variables to ensure that dream banters are always executed (even when resting in an Inn and clicking the buttons really fast)

- Fixed order of banters to prevent normal banters from firing at rest and replace dream banters

- Fixed one of the banters with Minsc (now it fires only after Dynaheir has been rescued, as it should)

- Fixed double reward exploit in Firebead's Quest in Beregost when other mods altering Firebead dialogue, like for example BG1 NPC Project, are also installed

- Replaced AT_INTERACTIVE_EXIT with the more up to date README as command to display the ReadMe (suggested by @Isaya)

- Corrected subtitles mismatch for one of Finch phrases (thanks to @Sylvus_Moonbow for reporting the mismatch)

- Moved some strings from .tp2 to .tra files

- French translation kindly revised and updated by @Isaya

- Removed unnecessary .tra file (the English .tra file contains only ASCII characters, so reencoding for BG:EE is not required)
