On v5.6 The component "Keep Drained Spells" doesn't allow use of the spells after slot restoration.
The spells appear memorized in the spellbook after restoring the slots, but are missing from the spell menu.
You have to re-memorize the spells and then rest which presumably defeats the purpose of the component.

Hey there, is it possible to add a function which disables the container highlighting when pressing the TAB key?

Hi Vlanis it possible to add a function which disables the container highlighting when pressing the TAB key?Reason ?
Roleplay reasons.
I just prefer the old way of searching the map for containers/hidden containers just like in BG1.

The Throne of Bhaal expansion added the tab key container highlighting, which I personally don't like for the same reasons mentioned by Vlan. Tab key highlighting was not present in BG1 or SoA. It would be wonderful if a mechanism for disabling it could be included with either BG2 Improved GUI or Tobex Afterlife.

OK, i will add manual option in TobExTweak.ini to disabling container highlighting

Now I'm not sure I remember but before the ToB expansion that changed the TAB button to highlight containers, would they be highlighted when hovering the cursor over them?
The BG1 engine does indeed highlight containers on a mouse hover. If I remember correctly hovering over containers in SoA functions similarly, but it's been (many) years since I've played SoA without the ToB expansion.

Another difficulty component from Tweaks Anthology that might be worth adding:
Limit Resting Mechanic [Luke] 
EEex required; available for BGEE, BG2EE, IWDEE, EET
This component simply forces the party to rest at most once per 24 in-game hours. It does not prevent scripted resting.
I'm not sure if resting at an inn is limited or resets the timer? It's probably best if it didn't. The player should probably be allowed unlimited resting at inns and timed resting outside.

Mechanic is still broken:
1) Fatigue on Party can be activated before 24 hours, so player cannot rest again at current area and must go to area with inn
2) Player can still cheat - leave current area and jump to area with inn, then back to current area

Good point. I suppose restricting yourself from rests can be easily self-imposed by the player for increased difficulty so there's also that.
I remember DavidW created a resting related mod not too long ago (EE only) that required the player to purchase camping supplies in order to rest. That's another way to approach it I guess.

If price is very expensive, this may works, "no price" rest one time in 24 hours and very pricy if need often. Any way if user want "no price" anytime it must go to exit of curent area and jumps few times between another areas for increasing gametime to 24 hours. Or one jump to area with inn.
