other code may use this variable to point correctly to BJAHEIR.DLG
i understand that, Ascension, but the only reason this variable exists (in BG1UB) is to fix the spelling error.
i agree the typo exists in tutu and vanilla BG, but i never said those dialog files should be changed.
what i am saying is, there is no reason whatsoever why you shouldn't fix the typo in BJAHEI.DLG,
regardless of whether it's BGT's banter file (the same typo happens in BG2's BJAHEI.DLG in the same offsets as BG1's BJAHEI.DLG and also in tutu's _BJAHEI.DLG when i last checked). you don't even have to modify the %JAHEIRA_BANTER% variable if you feel it's too "dangerous", i don't see why it couldn't be done separately.
anyway, it seems you've made up your mind. no worries. i don't want to push the issue further.
cheers for addressing the other issues.
