Creature Fixer

This is a small utility that fixes some issues with BG2/BGT/Tutu creature item and slot assignments, both in the unmodded game and with mods installed. These issues can lead to game crashes or other problems. Such issues include:

- Shield slot item does not exist
- Invalid shield slot assignment
- Weapon slot item does not exist
- Weapon slot item misspelled
- Two-handed weapon equipped with off-hand item
- Item of wrong type in weapon slot
- Invalid weapon slot assignment

If it finds any of these issues, it will attempt to fix them as best as it can and output a list of the specific problems to /crefixer/cre_log.txt for further analysis. A sample output from unmodded BG2 is:

This utility is included by default in BiG World Project installs. It is available separately for other types of installs, or as a tool for modders to ensure such issues are not present in their mods. As a stand-alone mod, it should be installed after other mods (except perhaps GUI and biffing mods) to detect and fix as many issues as possible.

Note: This should not be confused with Taimon's Creature Fixer for zeroed offsets or Nythrun's Resource Fixer macros for buggered creature and item ordering, both of which are also included in BWP and have separate (but related) uses.
