Thanks for the answers. As for messing around to bring back my old party... well I am a noob with these things and I would prefer not messing around with mod components right now, so I'm not worried about going with new NPCs other than good'ol Imoen

Whoa I didn't figure up that this ar0602.bcs backup I had really works, so I guess the problem is over. Two questions though, maybe not related with installation problems, or maybe yes, I don't know As it's my first time doing all BGT and also my first time with big BG2 mods other than TDD:

1) Once I get ambushed by thieves and the transition sequence kicks in I get to see ROT intro with 2 characters talking about Drizzt. Is that normal?

2) Once I get Imoen in my party I see that she is exactly like when I finished BG1 part (level 12 rogue) , instead of the standard dual mage 8 - rogue 7. But I see that Minsc and Jaheira are there, where are my other party members? (Ajantis, Dynaheir, Kivan, Jet'Layla)

Thx!

Damn since the installation days I had some mess ups and did some noobness that I am not sure if I was right or not. Back then I biffed the override because of performance issues (very nasty lag) , though not with weidu.exe (didn't work) and I used the End_biff utility created by Leonardo Watson for Big World Project, it creates a folder called OVER_END where all old files in the override sit there. It worked wonders though I'm not sure if I did good or bad, it was kind of a desperate measure and walking blind. My old ar0602 and its backup are in this folder, I think it's this one you seek? I'll post it anyway

My AR0602 is the one you have attached in the first post and NEWGAME.bcs is this one, though I found it in an odd place (BGII - SoA\SOS\over.bak\ )

Thanks, I patched it and at first it looked like it worked but I got into more dreaded stuckness. Once BG1 ends and BG2 starts (transition) or a new BG2 game starts fresh (skipping BG1) my character stands in the cage, no Irenicus, no Jaheira, no Minsc, no Imoen, no talk, nothing, and I'm stuck forever inside my cell.

I did a forum search and noticed that a lot of people have this problem, though the solutions I saw are blurry and messy at most, maybe I lost where the definitive fix is? . I have read that it may have something to do with ROT or FR_ROV mods and most probably it's with the AR0602.bcs file. I placed in override some different versions of this file I found in the forums, to no avail, I get the same problem all over again. Right now I have your ar0602.bcs and baldur.bcs in my override, but it doesn't work. What can I do?

I'll post my weidu.log this time
