This is a development version of BG1NPC with BGEE compatibility. There may still be outstanding compatibility issues with BGEE. There may also be inadvertently added issues with BGTutu/BGT. Please use with caution.
If you encounter a bug, please post a report to the BG1NPC - Prerelease forum at forum.baldursgate.com.
KNOWN ISSUES:
If you are running BGEE v1.2, do not save and reload your game with a dead NPC in the party. This will cause the NPC's local variables to be reset. This is a BGEE/BG2EE engine bug (#7190) that should be fixed in V1.3.
If you are running BGEE v1.2, do not attempt a PID with Montaron when you have a reputation is 12 or greater. He will leave the party (and take Xzar with him). This is bug in Montaron's dialog file in BGEE (#7233). His "break point" is set incorrectly. This will be fixed in v1.3.
