What's the mod that nerfs scroll XP?

23 September 2011 - 10:39 PM

I installed a bunch of mods.  Everything is working fine, but now that I'm on to BG2, I want the old scroll XP values back (1000xspell level instead of 10x).  Is this a BGT change?  If so, can it be changed back somehow?  If not, does anyone know which mod it may be that made this change?

Problem with NPC sounds and BGT

07 September 2011 - 11:54 AM

I've done a clean install of BG and BG2 using the following install and mods in this order:

1. Installed BG1, custom install, selecting everything.
2. Installed ToSC, full install.
3. Patched to 5512.
4. Installed BG2, full install.
5. Installed ToB, full install.
6. Patched to 26498.
7. Installed BG2 Fixpack v9.
8. Installed Ascension 1.4.24.
9. Installed Turnabout v1.
10. Installed BGT 1.12.
11. Installed BG1NPC v18.
12. Installed BG1 UB v12.
13. Installed BG2 UB v19.
14. Installed BG1 Tweaks v3 (to BG1 folder).
15. Installed BG2 Tweaks v9.
16. Installed Widescreen 3.05.

Everything seems to be working fine except for some sound issues.  For one thing, the music seems to play only sporadically.  I've tried various options in Setup-BGTMusic.exe, and I can't tell if it's making a difference or not.

My main issue is that NPC sounds don't play consistently.  For example, when an NPC triggers and wants to talk to you, it'll usually play a sound ("Heya, it's me, Imoen."  "I've a blade with your name on it." etc...).  An easy way to tell is in the beginning in Candlekeep, the priests of Oghma are just standing there silently, where they should be singing about the prophecies of the wise Alaundo.  If I click on them, it'll play the sound, but they don't seem to do it on their own, and other NPCs don't play theirs either, making it easy to miss the queue when someone wants to run up and talk to you.

Environmental audio is not enabled (grayed out in fact).  I've messed with various sliders and audio settings in game, but nothing seems to help.  Please advise - maybe some of the mods are redundant or are stepping on another one?
