Shar-Teel Mod Options

[Vlad]

Based on the hot discussion of the future of BGT at SHS I've decided to make the stand-alone Shar-Teel's mod in addition to the BGT compatible version and to include the former as a sub-component in NeJ2. There will be two versions of this mod:

1. BGT version (of course, compatible with NeJ2)
2. NeJ2 version (stand-alone sub-component available only through installation of NeJ2).

There will be no other versions developed or supported. The NeJ2 version of the mod will add Shar-Teel to one of the empty cells in the beginning of BG2 so players will be able to enjoy Shar-Teel NPC in both NeJ2 and BG2 as well. Besides her NeJ2 dialogues and interactions with other NPCs I hope she will have the standart set of banters and interjections related to BG2.

Chev, with respect to Boo, there is no problem at all to make him/her stand-alone mod. I don't know whether it conflicts with UB but it doesn't matter. However with respect to Imoen it's much more complicated as she is connected tightly to all NeJ2 dialgues and scripts. In order to isolate her as a separated NPC with her own kit now I should extract all her dialogues and scripts from NeJ2, and remove them, then restore her as original Imoen and add her kit and continuity. In other words now there are two Imoens, two dialogues, two scripts in NeJ2 in case you wish not to install this component. Every single interjection with each NPC, every single piece of her action is split into two and checked for Imoen's DV ("Imoen" or "Imoen2"). I made a lot of work on compatibility issues here and I would really prefer not to separate her from NeJ2, also because of non-modding reasons.
