• Updated the French translation.
• Someone please come take over the maintenance of this mod. I beg of you. -JC

Version 18 (31 January, 2009)

CHANGES

• Revert Crooked Crane script to its old illogical name, for compatibility-friendliness.
• More systematic awareness of the BG2Fixpack: components that overlap with the Fixpack are not installed if the Fixpack is present.
• "Readme" and "Version" flags added to TP2.
• By popular demand (and using Andyr's online comment to justify it), the excursion to the Troll Mound is removed from the Kidnapping of Boo, and we revert to the old version.
• Restored Minor Dialogues now uses strings already in the dialog.tlk wherever possible, which should help for translation.
• Added Italian translation by Giuseppe Cali.
• Updated WeiDU to 210.
• Well, since you ask so nicely... -DW

BUGFIXES

• Systematic TP2 cleanup, courtesy of Nythrun.
• Arbane's Sword is now given to Eldarin in the "Suna Seni" component, not the "Item restoration" component - this prevents situations where there are two copies of it.
• Minsc can no longer get multiple THAC0 bonuses when he gets Boo back.
• SimDing0's "restored hell minions" no longer turns the Balors into Pit Fiends. This was breaking compatibility with lots of mods that enforce Blood War tanarri-baatezu conflicts, including some of Sim's own. (This is purely cosmetic: all that's changed is name, animation and alignment.)
• [The infamous "unkillable trolls" bug is fixed by default by the reversion of the Kidnapping quest to its old form]

Version 18 was produced by DavidW with heavy input from Nythrun (no new content, but plenty of bugfixes).

Version 19 (4 May, 2010)

CHANGES
