Limits for Shadowkeeper

I'm planning to start a new party and plan to edit some of the excisting NPC`s and items. I would like Edwin to become a Sorcerer instead of a mage and I'd like a-certain-someone-from-ToB to be able to wield Carsomyr. Is theese changes possible? I've never used Shadowkeeper before and since my new "crack-free" BG2 discs haven't arived yet I can't test.

 

Yea, just start SK, set level to 1 and exp to what ever level you want him to be (might be some calculating to do , though not much), change classes for whomever you want to change, and load the game. Voila, lvl 1 and you can level them up as you wish.

 

Make sure to change their avatars and saving throws, and delete any spells they shouldn't have in the new class as well. I've done it plenty, and there's no problem .

You may have issues with the certain-someone because of a certain change they undergo. Personally, I'd edit Carsomyr itself (with IEEP or Near Infinity) rather than mess with that character just so s/he can wield it.

 

I'd just use SK and give you-know-who the HLA thief skill "use any item". Cheap... But effective.

 

Editting Carsomyr directly would be best, or if you want to keep it simple, just make[/I] him weild it. Simply change his current weapon (or empty weapon slot)to Carsomyr. Just don't remove it, because to put it back on, you'd have to fire up SK again.

 

How can I edit Carsomyr and get rid of that Paladins only restriction? Can it be done with S.K?

 

I cannot be done with SK.

SK also causes bugs in your game. So be careful if you decide to use it.

 

Shadowkeeper!!! Ban it!!

 

Sk has never caused any bug for me that lasted more than a minute. If something is wrong, such as ungodly lag or simply crashing, open SK again and you'll realise what happened. I don't see how people always complain about bugs. Just be careful what spells you give yourself, and don't mess around with some local and most global variables.

As for Carsomyr, open IEEP, open the file for Carsomyr, and on the first page you see, click a button, ("restrictions"? I forget) In the menu, it has a checklist of who can use the item. Add fighters to the list.

 

Just download universal Carsomyr from here. It should include the updated TOB version too. If I feel the need to mod anything in the game (creatures, items, whatever) I use nearInfinity™ to do so.

 

Yeah, NearInfinity is much more powerful and flexible than IEEP. IEEP may be simpler to use at first, though, because it doesn't have as many options.

I've never encountered any bugs with SK. If a game you've edited doesn't work, it's probably because you've done something wrong. I never mess with editing anything but the characters in it anyway. Screwing with global variables and such can mess stuff up, but that's sort of a no-brainer.
