    [​IMG] Does anybody know how to install this patch? I downloaded it just to see what the author had come up with but it didn't come with any instructions and I don't understand the IAP self extracting archive dialog box. Thanks in advance.

    Don't you have to extract it into the override file in the baldurs gate directory?

    Yep. I don't have it though, so I'm not sure if his stuff will drop in game (as my item pack does), or if you have to summon the items into the game via the console.

    You can choose to fully install it or just to write item files in. If you do the full install then items will be found ingame. I think that you need ToB installed to find all the items ingame though im not sure.

    [​IMG] I've had the same problem with every single one of those IAP self-extracting archives. I point it to the BG2-SOA folder, click everything, and I get a IAP read error window that pops up, with a "2" on it. What am I doing incorrectly? If I point the "select game path to anything else, it says that only folders with dialog.tlk files are considered valid. It must work, I just can't figure it out
