I don't want to be a nudge (is that a real word?) but I was testing the GUIs and I was curious to see if a save from a nonWeiDU BP-BGT would crash the game (just for kicks) so I loaded it and there it was all the XPs were down to 2,950,000. I thought TDD or SoS or BP would patch the BGMain file or is that for a later update? I checked all the XP related 2da files and they weren't causing it. Also, I think I used or looked at all the tweak files out there and I didn't notice if any one dealt with this problem.

Also while going through the 2da files I noticed typos in the max spell file for rangers. There was a bunch of 9s at the top of the file (I hope they weren't needed for anything 'cause I got rid of them) and somewhere around level 35-40 the numbers were wrong based on the progression of the rest of the levels.

Well, anyway, I think someone :whistling: figured this out and posting something on the CtB forum a few months ago. I'll go check. :D


edit: BTW all the 2da files were in biff created by TDD.

Go here ;)

Edited to add: That was not for russ (cause he was the one who figured it out), but for whomever wants to add it to whichever mod :)

i'm kind of confused as to why this is a problem: you've done something that you didn't think would work, and indeed it hasnt worked. QED.

however, assuming there is an actual problem here i'm missing: did you have CtB installed in either yr old saved game or yr new weidu install russ? if so, that would be the origin of the XP cap you found. if its from yr old game, then we can ignore it.

if it's from yr new game, then i've attached Yacomo's CtBXPFix, in case anyone else experiences this as a real problem. but for crying out loud, please dont install this thing unless yr actually having the problem it was designed to solve, yeah?
