I just realized how much better parts of the game look using these fixes. Heh, the helmet fixes alone would be worth going through a lot of trouble. The question is, I have about a hundred components of about two dozen mods installed - if I install the complete BG2fix package on top of all of them, are there any known incompatibilities?
Mod Compatibility?

Shouldnt be any. Just install it last to make sure the game uses the updated items (with proper colour flags for the inventory).

I have come across a problem in BGII with the 'Remove Helmet Animations' component from the G3 Tweak Pack. I had 1pp installed last of all on my mod list. Some of the helmets were hidden using the 'Remove Helmet Animations' component, but others weren't.
Is there any way to make 1pp compatible with this component? Maybe install 1pp before G3 Tweaks?
Edit: Forgot to mention that I had this problem with a game that was already in progress, so I don't know if that made a difference.

Well, I've done some experimenting, and I found that uninstalling both 1pp and the Remove Helmet Animations component from G3, and then reinstalling them both, but this time with Remove Helmet Animations installed after 1pp, the problem went away. So I've now got all the parts I want from G3 Tweaks except Remove Helmet Animations installed before 1pp, and Remove Helmet Animations installed after 1pp.
It does make me wonder what other mods might have probs. I know jack about modding, but if two mods alter an item or something similar, won't they conflict? What about Ashes of Empires? Is that confirmed to be conflict-free when installed before 1pp?

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

G3 Tweaks is quite insistent about being last in the install order--it's not that mods that patch the same files conflict, but in this instance both Tweaks and 1PP are patching the exact same bit of data in the files, so the last mod installed generally wins.
Why is this Hypnotoad video so popu... ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Thanks, Cam, I think I understand.
