@Parker, I honestly have no idea. Someone like @AstroBryGuy could probably whip one up for you—assuming he has time and can access the Mud Master site (which appears to be down). Otherwise, I can probably adjust EE Keeper and make it backwards compatible, that way future Winewrapped versions would be compatible (which would take quite a bit of time since I only have a limited amount of time per day to spend on this now).
That also includes the source. I can probably update that with some of the unknowns if anyone is interested. I can include portions of it into the EE Keeper editor and make it backwards compatible.
Shadowdancers cannot use the Set Snare ability under normal conditions—though you probably could manually add the Set Snare innate ability and increase the Set Traps thief skill. I cannot vouch for how well this will actually work, however, as any restrictions applied may be hardcoded with other appropriate in-file variables (like kit ID).
its a shame as set snare is the only thing a shadowdancer is missing if you ask me, they should add it to the kit but only let the shadowdancer increase it to a certain lvl, or, only allow the shadowdancer to gain the skill at a higher lvl :-)

@Parker - Here's a copy of Gatekeeper in a Wineskin wrapper for OSX. It runs, although I do not have a version of BG1/TOTSC installed to test it.
Thank you much for keeping this current. The Re-roll button is an interesting feature, but I doubt many use it, as is. Would it possible, in a future update, to add an auto-roll feature to it, saving the best rolls? If so, it'd also be nice to see the roll total and have a counter going to show how many rolls. Thank you much, again.
@Jidokwon, that's on my long term list of things to do, along with options to enforce proficiency limits, auto-calculation of HP, saving throws, and thieving abilities. No idea when or if any of it will be implemented, but the list is there. :-)
@Sjerrie, yes, hopefully tomorrow after the games' launch. I want to finalise it and make sure it doesn't just randomly crash or cause corruption. :-)
I have ironed out a few wrinkles with it in general, improved the installation setup as mentioned before (it is not backwards compatible, however), included a new Miscellaneous tab will the old proficiencies (so you can edit BG:EE creatures) and also something that @CrevsDaak commented on some time back—a Local Variables tab, similar to Global Variables—and, assuming I get it finalised in time, the efforts of @Davide, @Isaya, @Pibaro, @silver_gp, and @teflon will pay off and there will also be four translations.
So there are a few changes with this next version.
Once the game is released and I have the 1.0.2.5 out, I will work on other features (a fix for memorised spells is long overdue) for Keeper and ensure compatibility.
The installation setup is the one that will probably need some explaining.
But what I'm going to do is leave it alone and see if people figure it out by themselves. If I get questions about it, I'll know that I need to add some sort of instruction beyond what I've included in the description box.
Though none of this actually has anything to do with Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition. ;-)
EE Keeper 1.0.2.5 is up and ready (and now supports Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition). You can find links in the first post of this topic or go directly to SourceForge. Four languages, which will be updated when necessary as separate modules (which can be downloaded from the lang folder on SourceForge), are included in the download. Chinese, French, Italian, and Korean. These individuals have dedicated a large portion of time to translate Keeper.
The buttons on the toolbar to allow game switching are missing?
I can go in through via the Settings > Installation Directory > Choose profile, to change game but that's not as intuitive as the previous buttons on the toolbar.
@decado, no, you're not missing anything. That's the new layout. You change profiles in the settings. I can add a drop-down menu of sorts which will list games/profiles, but other than that it's just a simple 'Reload' button.
The text for the save games still describes buttons on the toolbar so that'll need to be amended.
... I thought I had everything worked out.
Actually, I think I added that line in reference to being able to switch games on the fly. It's no longer relevant, I think, so it can probably be removed (easier and quicker than editing it and then trying to translate it, but I'll leave that option open; one of those "it'll be done when it's done" times). If I do keep it around, it'll be changed to something along the lines of "To select a different game, go the the Installation Directory and pick, or create, a new profile."
I've downloaded the latest version, but it gives no options under game profile or under game language. I can browse for an instillation directory but nothing will actually make EE Keeper do anything so I can modify games.
@Troodon80 ,Thank you for making EE Keeper work with IWD:EE on the very day of release.
I do have a problem though - the utility is refusing to save any profiles. I've tried about a dozen times to enter the pathing info for IWD:EE, and it works - one time and one time only. I've followed your instructions to the letter about naming a profile, setting the pathing, and clicking apply. It refuses to save.
So, I can work with EE Keeper in IWD:EE, but, I have to go through the entering of the pathing information every time, which is kind of a pain in the behind.
1) Enter game profile name 2) click "add" 3) browse "installation directory" - select language - browse "User Save Data Directory" 4) click "apply" 5) click Ok
If this doesn't work. Which OS are you using? Where did you installed EE Keeper? Maybe you don't have the right to modify the ekeeper.ini

i can try with that.

I was actually looking for 'trueclass', but that was luckily still recognizable by the 0x40000000 value (though still called shadowdancer in text).

Any ideas about why it is not saving profiles?
I cant see an option here nor in the email :-s

You can unmark the thread by clicking on the golden star just above the page's number:
If the star is not golden the thread is unmarked.
I can't reproduce this.
Do you follow the instruction?
1) Enter game profile name
2) click "add"
3) browse "installation directory" - select language - browse "User Save Data Directory"
4) click "apply"
5) click Ok
If this doesn't work. Which OS are you using?
Where did you installed EE Keeper?
Maybe you don't have the right to modify the ekeeper.ini
