Just had a question about this. Were the original BG spawn table in the EXE and not from an eternal file?

They are in the area files... but the command structure is a little different between the games, so they don't go very well with each other... That's why there's tries of spawn systems that have been made, none of which can perfectly simulate the BG1's actual system ... but as a result you get more to choose from.

There are structures called Spawn Points in the ARE files that decide spawns :) (if the IESDP was up, I'd link the ARE file structure page right about here :P)

EDIT: Imp'ed :ph34r:

Ah thank you. I was always curious about that. Has no one then been able to decipher the tables in the ARE files yet then?

Everything's mostly been deciphered (these modders here are a freaky lot :lol:) and they're available in the IESDP (which is currently down with the entire G3 :P)

@Jarno: Only the index loads up for me :( Click on any link and it sends me to some dot5hosting.com's site :P
