Hello there!

First of all, I'd like to say thank you to all of you dedicated modders out there making massive packages like this possible! I've been playing for a week now with a modified 'recommended' installation of the Big World Project, and it is great!

However... I've run into a little annoyance. As much as I love Baldur's Gate I, I've played it enough that I'd rather jump right into Shadows of Amn now with some new characters. More specifically, I want to duo a Berserker/Cleric and a Sorcerer. (Brother and Sister combination... for a bit more of a fun 'roleplaying' experience!)

I pre-generated both characters, started up a Multiplayer game and imported both from Character Files. My plan was to start the Multiplayer, save, and move said save over to Single-Player. The problem is, when I import them, the game automatically bumps them up to 2.5million Experience. (Level 18 on the Barbarian... meaning I can't dual-class him at 9 like I intended!) I attempted to use the XPPatcher.exe file found here on the forums, but got the 'Value 89000 not found' popup.

Does anyone have a sneaky work-around for this? I would much prefer to start both characters from level 1.

Any help is much appreciated, thank in advance!

Weidu Log attached for good measure!

Well, you should start a new multiplayer game in BG1, then cheat the characters up to the wanted levels with the Console and this:

CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP("*xpnumber*")

where the *xpnumber* is what it is required for the minimal first levels level up to the wanted level.
When you have dualed the first character, you can then export him. And the start a new single player game, in where ever(SoA probably) and use either of the just exported character or the Sorcerer, and save it, and then exit the whole game, go to the game directory and copy the save from the 'save' directory to the 'mpsave' directory, start the game again and load the multiplayer game that you made via the single player game, import or create the other character and the save after. Exit the game and copy the save from the 'mpsave' directory to the 'save' directory and start the game again via the single player game and play and enjoy!

PS: you cannot actually start a new multiplayer SoA game if you have BGT installed... so you have to do the above anyway.

You are right, and genius!

The 2.5million XP is for Throne of Bhaal... I guess my mind just separated the Baldur's Gate and Throne of Bhaal buttons into: Baldur's Gate(Original), and Baldur's Gate II.

Thanks so much! Can't wait to get started...!
