EE Keeper, Updated to v1.0.4

BEEKeeper seems to be the second favourite. So I'll let you, the users, be the ones to decide.

@CoM_Solaufein, @Messi, @Nifft, @Mikaal, @mlnevese, @swnmcmlxi, @Aosaw, @AHF, @Isaya, @Kunikos, @Anton, @ermo, @Erg, @nsr: Shall we settle on a name?

@Nifft, the main issue with making a default value is that some people apparently want the ability to still load up the dialog.tlk file from the root directory. In the interest of cross-compatibility, I would imagine a dialog box to be more suitable. I generally prefer message boxes rather than making the assumption that someone wants something in a particular way. But I will certainly give it consideration for the future.

@DraconisPrime,

First, I noticed you can change your character's appearance to all sorts of things, such as githyanki, hobgoblin, orog, etc... Would it be possible to somehow import the sprites/animations/appearances from another Infinity Engine game, specifically the flail-wielding orog cleric Hiepherus from Icewind Dale II ([...])? Because I'd like to make a character who used Hiepherus' appearance. Just saying.

Longer answer: probably not, since that would require putting in checks to see if you currently have any other Infinity Engine game installed, then running through its resources. Then, since it doesn't have those particular resources in BG:EE, it would have to merge or copy all the necessary resources to the override folder in order to use. This won't be happening any time soon, unless someone specifically makes a mod for it. Sorry about that.

Second, would it be possible to add an XP-gain-penalty (as Corsymyr did here with his custom race items: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/16284) as a sort of balancing feature to offset other bonuses you give your characters (basically the whole "Level Adjustment" system from third edition DnD)? If so, how?

This sort of feature would generally be handled by modders who create scripts or tables for the game to use, rather than being handled by the save game itself. It is normally a function provided by the tables (2DA/IDS files), so it wouldn't be handled directly be the save game itself.

I will look further into getting it to read from the required files in order to automatically set XP based on attributes, etc., but I can't promise anything.

Third, just fooling around for fun, I gave my fighter some spells and innate abilities, and clicked +mem to mark them as memorized, but I had no way of accessing and using them in-game. Would there be a way to do this?

If that doesn't work, can you find the save game folder (example: 000000001-Quick-Save), archive it and upload to somewhere like RapidShare and send me a PM with a link so that I can see?

Thanks again, this had made my day.
