The G3 Tweak Pack is a compilation of fixes, cosmetic changes, and tweaks. Some of these were fan requests, others are needed fixes, and others simply make dealing with the more irritating aspects of the game engine easier. Each component can be installed separately so the player can pick and choose only which ones they wish to install. This tweak pack is a combination and update of CamDawg's and Idobek's Tweak Packs.

Changes in v3:

• Allow Stealth and Thieving Abilities in Heavy Armor per P&P should now install correctly on a SoA-only game.
  
• Icewind Dale Casting Graphics installation typo fixed.
  
• Added Druids Use Cleric Level and Spell Progression and Maximum HP on Level Up components.

Complete list of components:

• Shadows of Amn World Map Fixes
  
• Change Magically Created Weapons to Zero Weight
  
• Force All Dialogue to Pause
  
• Valen/Solaufein-Style Interjections
  
• Alter HP Triggers for NPC Wounded Dialogues
  
• Two-Handed Bastard Swords
  
• Two-Handed Katanas
  
• Universal Clubs
  
• Weapon Styles for All
  
• Remove Helmet Animations
  
• Imoen Avatar Change
  
• Viconia Skin Color Change

Does your max HP on level up modify also the creatures or only the HPs that party members get when they level-up?

I can provide a tp2 chunk that modifies also the HPs of every creature (EG Minsc and Jaheira get both something like 20 HP)

I also had to borrow a small bit of your tp2 (the ALWAYS part) for my Mazzy the Paladin mod. I hope it's OK...

Just party members when they level up.

Hadn't considered this idea, to be honest. If there is interest in this, it should be simple enough to implement. Giving max HP to opponents, though, may be a better idea for Tactics.

Not a problem.

Almost all opponents have max HP anyway
The benefits are almost only for party members.

Just some random (?) opponents get really more powerful, EG, bodhi gets 200 (from 120, 185 with tactics) while, with tactics installed, liches also get 200... It's lust up to tweaking the numbers a bit

Implementation isn't 100% simple, since this is the work I've done:

Thanks the bigg, we've added this to the new v4 release, with a few minor code tweaks.

Changes in v4:

• Added Polish (thanks Evendur) and French (thanks Elgaern the Dragon Slayer) translations.
  
• Added Maximum HP For Non-Party-Joinable Creatures component (thanks the bigg)
  
• Fixed bug with druids getting HLAs too quickly in Druids Use Cleric Level and Spell Progression component
  
• Tightened up code on Universal Clubs component

[the bigg]

Ehm, sorry, but the changes you've done are to prevent joinable NPCs from achieving perfect HPs, while the scope of my code (at least in my intentions...) was to give perfect HPs to joinable creatures (for example Jaheira gets 20+ HP, and can now rush into melee without drinking sets and sets of Extra Healing Potions...)
Perhaps you could add the same code to the "Perfect HP on level up" component (adding a IF_EVAL "%biography%" > 0 and removing the same check from the actual code, so that joinable NPCs will be updated instead? Those were my intention.. )
