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.

It doesn' require BGT, it has the components BGT requires and it adds new components to BGT, but it equially amends and supplements the stand-alone version. I'm not sure whether Asc^64 has already tested it though.

I would like to stress out that this version available as 0.6 MB download at SHS is a light version, that means it doesn't contain many new features of the full version 6.5 which will be available for download very soon.

Unfortunately I cannot make a workable WeiDU installation to turn the v6.5 into a patch for the previous v6.02. These are limitations of WeiDU - I cannot patch the existing states in dialogues which have been already patched in previous versions without messing the existing dialogues in the end-users' installations. If I have a single NPC mod with 100 banters and interjections - it IS possible, but we have several NPCs who interject with all other original and modded NPCs in the game, and I am not going to re-write all their dialogues and banters in order to release the patch and not the full version. Sorry, this is too much for me. What I can do is to separate graphics and sounds from the main installation file, so those who cannot download 300 MB, would complement their installation with the already existing graphic and music files from the previous installation.
