BG1NPC for BGEE Prerelease

BG1NPC with BGEE compatibility is still a work-in-progress. A prerelease version is available for testing by the BGEE community. Since this is work-in-progress, there may still be outstanding compatibility issues with BGEE. There may also be inadvertently created issues with Tutu/BGT. Please keep that in mind.

The most recent prerelease is v21-PR_20140806: https://github.com/AstroBryGuy/BG1NPC/releases/tag/v21-PR_20140806

  [/spoiler]
  
  NEW COMPONENT FOR BGEE:
  Banter Timing Tweak - Utilizes the new BANTTIMG.2DA file available in BGEE to adjust banter dialog timings. This component replaces Compton's Banter Accelerator script for BGEE. It is not available for Tutu/BGT (Compton's Banter Accelerator remains available for Tutu/BGT). There are five timing options available:
  [1] Normal banter timing (~27 minutes between banter dialogs)
  [2] Faster banters (Banter dialogs occur ~50% faster)
  [3] Very fast banters (Banter dialogs occur twice as fast)
  [4] Slower banters (Banter dialogs occur ~50% slower)
  [5] Very slow banters (Banter dialogs occur twice as slow)

  KNOWN ISSUES:
  • If you are running BGEE v1.2, do not save and reload your game with a dead NPC in the party. This will cause the NPC's local variables to be reset, which could make dialogs repeat. Raise dead party members before saving and reloading. This is a BGEE/BG2EE engine bug (#7190) that should be fixed in V1.3.
    
  • If you attempt a PID with Montaron and your reputation is 12 or greater, he will leave the party (and take Xzar with him). This is bug in Montaron's dialog file in BGEE (#7233). His "break point" is set incorrectly. This will be fixed in v1.3.
