Testers for TS&IA combo Options

[Sikret]

The TS-IA compatibility patch will be ready in the very near future (I'm just waiting for Vlad's reply to one of my PMs before completing the patch).

As always, I'm not going to release something without having it tested. So, if anyone is willing to test the TS-IA combo with the forthcoming compatibility patch, just let me know.

The only requirements for testers are having enough free time to play fast and following the installation instructions I will provide accurately.

I'll coment in red:

Recommended components of Ease-of-Use:

-True Grand Mastery (extra half-attack, etc.) In BD-WeiDU
- Shut Up "You Must Gather Your Party Before Venturing Forth"
- Wear Magical Armor AND Magic Rings (etc.)
- Un-Nerfed Tables
- XP Cap Remover
- Multiple Strongholds In BD-WeiDU
- Bonus Merchants (I think this one is redundant after installing WeiDu Baldurdash) In BD-WeiDU
- No Drow Avatars On Party In Underdark
- Imoen ToB Dialogue Fix Incompatible with TS
- Romance Bug Fixes (required for later components). Incompatible with TS
- Infinite Weapon, Potion and Ring/Amulet Stacking
- Infinite Weapon, Potion Stacking (ToB)

Perhaps some of these components are already covered by WeiDu Baldurdash. Vlad should clarify.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to think over and comment on this installation. Let Sikret do this work. As for romances, female protagonist can have both romances - with Valygar and Sime simultaneously, but the female romance of Sime is a bit shorter and has lower priority than other concurent romances. Anomen and Valygar would fight at some point for the female protagonist, but it occurs not so fast, some time in Chapter 6, if my memory serves me well.

My last party was:

Protagonist - Paladin
Yoshimo (Fighter/Thief - dualled to a fighter at level 12)
Kachiko
Sime
Nalia (you'll need a thief while Yoshimo advances his fighter levels, plus you need a second mage)
Jaheira (further replaced with Imoen)

I won't recommend installing other mods except TS and IA. I don't like big problematic installations, and I don't like bugs, which come from mod incompatibilities. Even not mentioning that TS + IA add alreay so much content to the game that I cannot imagine that someone need more NPCs, items, quests etc. Really, your party is well stocked in TS + IA, and rotating NPCs is not my style of game. I start with the party and I prefer to lead the very same party till the end of the game.

Good luck!
