Yeh.  I fixed the problem.  I was trying to do everything in the .tp2 and was doing something stupid.  Cam set me straight.

I don't think that correctly recalculates hit points and things.

That's also why when I made Montaron an Assassin instead of Fighter/Thief, I rebuilt the .CRE. :)

Grim's suggestion of adding via script is a good one; else I'd suggest .tp2 patching like I did in Mur'Neth. Check that out for a code example. (I don't have it here).

The thing is, kitting can be done with an AddKit() script, while some of the mod complicated class changes e.g. Changing Khalid into a FM can't be done with a script.

Doesn't ChangeClass() work?  If so, why couldn't you use ChangeClass("Khalid", "FIGHTER_MAGE")

I wonder where I'm messing up, then.  I'm having no trouble making it work right with SoA and ToB.  My method of detecting tutu must be what's causing the problem then.   I've been trying to use ACTION_IF_FILE_EXISTS  to detect for tutu, just like I did for the ToB part.  I guess I'll go read the code from some differrent mods to see how they do it.

A tutu CRE files is exactly the same as a BG2 CRE file.  Nothing different.

I wrote up a mod that transfers a modified berserker kit to Minsc and have been  banging my head agains the wall for quite some time trying to add the kit to Minsc in without overwriting the cre (I can only make it work in tutu if I overwrite Minsc's cre).  No problem with BG2 SoA or ToB, but It isn't working for tutu :-[ .  I did notice that every mod I've seen so far that adds a kit to a tutu NPC actually overwrites the cre file.  Is this because it isn't possible to append a tutu cre file (Or are the modders in question just lazy?)  or am I just stupid?
