Some questions about the flexibility of available tools Options

[Vaeloran]

Hi!
I hope there's a good soul who will answer 2 things I was wondering about..

1) I see there are many mods for BG 1/2, but - how come there are no "stand alone" games, totally unrelated to the BG 1/2 plots? Do the current tools require you to start your "game" within the original games? So my question is - can you make your own game, with a starting area and other areas completely from scratch? I mean, without Candlekeep, Irenicus' prison or anything else related to those games?
2 subquestions; can you make a 2nd (or 3rd) start game button with the name of your game on it? (You know - I'm talking about the window when you're prompted to select "Shadows of Amn" or "Throne of Bhaal")
What about the world map? Is it possible to make a custom one?

Is this a difficult task?


2) How difficult would it be to make a script that takes away money from the player when he rests - based on the level of his party? (Cumulative level of the party * a certain factor = gold lost on resting)


Thanks in advance.

Thanks!
What's a TC conversion?
What's WTP? (Ok, I saw your sig and now I know what's that)

What tools do I need to do that? Is DLTCEP enough?
What's Weidu? Do I need to download that too before I start working with DLTCEP? I downloaded DLTCEP an hour ago and played around with it a bit.. The thing is I cannot load a NEW area and start working from scratch.. And suddenly.. all froze.. I had to restart my PC.

Maybe it would be better I buy NWN 2 and use those tools to create my game..
