After using generalized biffing, I am unable to install level1npcs for npc class changes. The error file is attached. I remedied the error by debiffing pdialog.2da back into the override folder. Not necessarily a bug, but I thought this might be beneficial to note and maybe fix in up and coming BWP versions.

Well, perhaps you should have though about re-modifying before and biff everything, after all, biffing everything will also biff the re-modified files. Yes, the BWP/S is made for easier access... not for carelessness....
PS, you could have just uninstalled the Generalized_biffing, then modify every and all the needed files, and then reuse the Gen_bif on them, so you would then have everything biffed, not just the roaches exposed to radiation.

I think I made an assumption that not everyone uses. I was assuming that level1npcs would be used to change the classes of characters frequently. I installed level1npcs after the biffing so that I could install and uninstall characters easily without having to debiff and re-biff, since usually it takes a while.Well, perhaps you should have though about re-modifying before and biff everything, after all, biffing everything will also biff the re-modified files.

I'd say the problem is that you installed the first component of Level1NPCs before biffing. (The pdialog.2da is copied into the override in that component and later components require it to be there.)
Either report this to the Level1NPC forum, so that the tp2 is changed to not have this dependancy or install all in one go after biffing.

I had no idea that's how it worked. It makes a lot more sense now, thanks!
