While I was trying to make my own mod I discovered one thing that
I had never heard of before on the IE editing site I know...

I have seen that there was only "one" string 0xA8BA01 (89000) in
BGmain.exe (from BG2-ToB) and it is at offset 0x6B7258 (7041624) in
my french version of ToB. I tried to replace it by 0x000000 and I
started a new game... and a new character: he was at lev. 1 with 0 XP.

If somebody could check it, that would be great... I would know if was dreaming or if it was reality! (don't forget to backup your exe!)

If I was the only person that didn't know that... I am really sorry...

I researched this a while ago and with the help of several people on these boards this is what I found out

// ToB version 24698
COPY_EXISTING ~bgmain.exe~ ~bgmain.exe~
WRITE_LONG 0x006B7258 0x0274E8
IF_SIZE_IS 7839790

// ToB version 24699
COPY_EXISTING ~bgmain.exe~ ~bgmain.exe~
WRITE_LONG 0x006B6270 0x0274E8
IF_SIZE_IS 7843886

where 0x0274E8 is equal to 161000, the max experience you would have had if you had gone through TOTSC before starting BG2.

I had heard there were some problems with trying to start a party with 0 experience, but if it works properly for you, then it might work for others.
