Caelar NPC mod (Can contain SOD Spoiler)

Hello all,

I'm currently working on a mod that add the possibility to recruit Caelar into your party in BG2 (SOA).
I'm a beginner in mod conception, but on holiday and get a lot of free time to work on it.

Regarding the mod :

- You can recruit Caelar in the Planar Sphere, on the abyss layer (MAP 0414).

- She a Lawful good Lv15 fighter. I plan to add a quest that could change her to a paladin (Probably a Morninglord of Lathander)

- Reason for her to be in the Abyss :
She was held prisoner by a Devil (Thrix the profane, the devil that propose a bargain at the end of SOD) but for unknown reason, this devil tried to exchange her with a Daemon and sent them to the abyss (It's the reason why you encounter her in the Abyss). A fight occurred and Caelar manage to flee.

I know it could be done better, but as I'm beginner, I prefer to start simple, and if needed to update it later when I'm more confident with weidu.

- As she was a prisoner, she do not held any weapon or item, and is in a bad state when you encounter her.
I would like to let her obtain his shield, sword and armor during a quest. (Not the helm, as the Unofficial item pack add it to the game already).

- The mod assume you let her live and join you during Sod final battle. But I tried to add dialogue option that also imply the contrary.

- So far, she only have two banter with Minsc and one with Imoen at the moment. I'm working on adding more and interject too.

- She's only available in SOA at the moment, but I will add an option to recruit her in TOB.

- She is fully voiced with her original voiceset. Remark : I'm almost sure the dev plan to add her as a DLC one day. There is a lot of unused voice in the game (Reputation happy/unhappy, a sound where she said she will avenge her sister..). If Beamdog release such DLC, I will no longer support this mod and stuck with the official version.

- I may add a french translation later, but no guarantee on it. (As it's my natural language).

I will not provide a download link for the moment (Not until I'm sure the mod is well written enough and that the code won't break the game..), but if some are interested to test it or to have a look at the files they can MP me.
For the moment, it's a very early "beta" version.

If someone has banter/interject idea, please submit them !
Any comment, critics, suggestion are welcome.
