Restoring an area

An area I want to mod, the Nashkel Fair, opened in Near Infinity, has fewer actors than originally. This must be because in my current playthrough the Great Gazib is already gone, Branwen has been recruited into the party and so on. In any event, that's my only explanation. How do I get access to the original area, whole and intact?

    If you open the .ARE file in Near Infinity, it will open the base file (unless you've modded AR4900.ARE, then you need to turn on the "Ignore Overrides" option in NI to open the unmodded ARE file).

    Gazib is Actor12 in the ARE file. The name is given as "Diana", but the actor references GAZIB.CRE.

    Branwen is a joinable NPC, and joinables are not included in the base .ARE files. Their starting locations are given in BALDUR.GAM.

    So Gazib is secretly a Diana. That puts his relationship with Oopah in a whole new light. Well, with what you say it may be that the original area is shown after all. Thanks.
