So in the process of going through and finding all the old things I had and getting newer versions I ran across an old mod that was "cespyaudio" which basically added in some new lines into Cespenar's audio in BGII when creating the new items that he had the ability to make.  I don't remember exactly what the it all entailed with installation, but I believe it was pretty much just something that added in audio clips.  I'll post the read me at the end.  I am using the BWP for the different mods this time around and m not sure if this would cause conflicts with that install.  It does use the "Weimer Item Upgrades".  I guess the real question is if this is worth it or has this been included at all.  

It's been a very long time since I played through BG and well, the college years were not kind to my brain cells.

Thanks.

Item Upgrade Audio

I enjoyed writing many of the lines you see for Cespenar in Westley
Weimer's Item Upgrade mod. So I decided to have even more fun and breathe
life into those lines with my best crack at a voice for our favorite imp
butler.

So, here it is. All 44 "intro" lines to the items that can be upgraded, as
of IU v25, are here.

Requirements: Item Upgrade V25 or better, English language install.

Run the c2audiouninstall.bat file to remove the audio files.

This one is the "sound pack addon", just like BG1NPC's sound addon (only this one came first, of course ).

JCompton's audo mod for Item upgrade does not add any content unless Item Upgrade is installed - and you can install it right after Item Upgrade with no problems. If fact, it does not use (or need) WeiDU - it unpacks .wav files directly to your override, so you could put it at any point in your install order with no problems, just like new soundsets or portraits. It will not show up in your WeiDU log, but when the item upgrade mod has Cespy make the new items, he will have voiced lines instead of silent ones.

Thanks, that's what I thought but I wanted to make 100% sure before I went ahead with it.  I'll have to break it down first to see if it's a decent change or not, just can't remember.
