indeed, offset 0x40 (trigger entrance name) was missing in macros.tph, so the patcher didn't update this area properly 
Both EET_modConverter and DSotSC have been updated to fix this issue. Fortunately the only ARE affected is DSC010.ARE at following offsets: 0x1b54, 0x1c18, 0x1cdc, 0x1da0
Thanks for the report.

Display of Race on the new *Record* screen of EE
The race field for my githyank NPC is displayed empty in this screen - In BGT Githyanki was correctly displayed.
(Githyanki exists in Race.ids >> 152 GITHYANKI)
The issue may exist for a number of other NPCs that use *exotc* races e.g Varshoon (Mindflayer).
Is this a known issue already?

I post this entry made on the Sandrah thread to this thread where it is more applicable.
Topic Rebalancing of mods (XP, items etc) in EET

Has anyone created a new BP Balancer type of mod to correct some of the perceived deficiencies of big mods that BP Balancer does not cover yet? I saw that K4thos rebalanced DSotSC items in the EET compatible update he has prepared, so maybe the same approach for the other big mods would be better in the long run (ie rebalance them while updating for EE/EET compatibility, instead of making a new balancer mod).

This is a very good point and this exactly the right moment to bring it up!!!
In BGT we ended up in (three?) mods that tried to balance the game XPs, items etc in the end and they did it cumulative. For EET there should be a unique convention to say it is either done in the mod (while you never know how a user will install the game with one, more or none of the other megamods) or by a final cleanup mod that does a balancing based on which mods are there.

RACETEXT.2DA controls whether names or descriptions for races are displayed in the record screen. Only a handful of races are present in the default file however, such as the playable races, Vampire and Tiefling. Githyanki has to be added manually. I don't know if EET is modifying this file though.

Thank you very much - I will try to append to that file, the entries require seem to be clear.
Not good, see EVIL is better. You'll LIVE.

Also note that the .cre files need to have the race.ids's ids number for the haterace ranger ability effect to apply to them.
Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit).
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

If you mean the cre entry at offset 0x241 - in case of githyanki this is obviously Mind_Flayer - 124

EET has a new home on G3 forums: http://gibberlings3....p?showforum=195
All discussion regarding EET on BGT forum section is basically off topic (sorry, Ascension64) considering the mod is not really a port of BGT to EE engine but a new thing. For this reason any further assistance regarding this project, as well as EET Tweaks and IWD-in-EET, will be provided at the EET subforum on G3. Feel free to create new topics there and thank you for supporting the project.

I have felt free to move this issue to the new forum as most likely the EET-Tweaks mod will be the appropriate vehicle for taking care of it.
