First of all, sorry if this is a common problem and the solution has been posted before, in that case I guess I'm just too blind to find it. But it is much more likely that I'm the only person with this problem, as with all of my problems (must be my bad aura or something) <_<

I've got BGT and the BG1 NPC-project installed (no other mods) and just finished the ToSC part of the game. The transition to bg2 works fine until the cutscene with Mae'Var ends. After that, my main character is in that cage in Irenicus' dungeon, but the intro cutscene (the one with Irenicus torturing you etc., you know the one I'm talking about...) doesn't start. Nothing happens. The BG2 intro movie didn't play, either. Well, out of curiousity I teleported my character out of the locked cage after a while by using the Ctrl + J cheat. The other party members (Imoen and Minsc, in my case) were standing around there aswell, when I talked to them I just got the standard dialog options I should get while they're in the party.
When I start a new BG2 game, the same thing happens: No video, no cutscene, just my main character standing around in a locked cage. Well, the only difference is that Imoen and Minsc aren't there.

So... I guess what I'm trying to say is:

HELP!!!!!

Thanks in advance if you've got any.

U mean Jaheira and Minsc...I have no such problem...everything runs smooth...there is an intro movie and cutscene when starting new BG2 game. I believe transition is ok also...perhaps the BG1NPC has something to do with transition or just corrupts somehow BCS file of irenicus dungeon...

Did you install shorter cutscenes from Ease of Use? If you did that component is known to screw things up and stops Imoen from showing up. Uninstall it and try again to see if that is the culprit if it was installed.

yeah, it sounds like some other mod has overwritten yr AR0602.bcs and/or NEWGAME.bcs - Ease of Use is the most likely suspect, but it's hard to really say unless you post yr weidu.log here for us to look at.

Can you post the text contents of your WeiDU.log to check the EoU incompatibility theory out?

BG1NPC has nothing to do with AR0602. Remember that Tutu games don't work in SOA areas anyway, so there wouldn't be any changes to those areas. BG1NPC also doesn't have anything to do with the transition (it doesn't exist in Tutu either). So if it doesn't exist in a Tutu game, I wouldn't have been able to port it to BGT.

the definition of 'no other mods' is often very flexible... :P

By definition if not by translation or comprehension of the player. ;)
