Both kits uninstalled themselves when I ran WeiDu. All I changed since the last installation was a few minor tweaks to a kit's HP table and three spells.
A previous error mentioned the KIT.ids file. Attached is my copy of the file. Any idea what might have gotten in the way?

So, the only things that got broken involved IDS entries; the mods that didn't change IDS stuff were perfectly fine. But I don't know how IDS stuff works, or how I'd go about fixing this.

SAY ~seducer~
SAY ~Seducer~
SAY ~A Seducer is a thief who acts through persuasion rather than sleight of hand. Socially cunning and politically astute, they develop an ability to forge close relationships with the wealthy, powerful, or merely useful, and navigate complex social orders with speed and grace. Some may use their talents to influence people for the better, propping up and guiding the wise and honest, or exposing and ostracizing the corrupt and the selfish--others use their talents for personal gain, exploiting their allies' weaknesses, and destroying their opponents with whatever means they can.
Despite the name, a Seducer's abilities are more complex than attractiveness or charm. A Seducer uses psionic abilities and arcane magic as well as physical appeal to influence others, and can gain control over potentially any creature with a semi-conscious mind--even those of a different orientation, species, or plane of existence, as well as sexless creatures, constructs, and the undead. No mind is truly safe from a Seducer's grasp; only sheer will and mental fortitude can block the Seducer's influence.
CLASS FEATURES:
- +1 Charisma.
- +2 save vs. spell
- +2 save vs. Enchantment spells
- Immunity to charm and domination
- May cast Charm at will
- 25% chance to shrug off the effects of psionic attacks
- Only gains 10 skill points per level (20 at level 1)
- Cannot detect traps or set traps
- Has no backstab multiplier
- Only gains 1d4 hit points per level
- May not use armor or shields
CHARM: The Seducer may attempt to take control over any creature within 10 feet, infiltrating their mind and probing their thoughts and desires. The target must make a save vs. spell at +5 to resist the effect. If the save is unsuccessful, the Seducer will wriggle their way into the subject's mind and take over after 1 round. Non-humanoid targets have a 95% chance of avoiding the Seducer's charms outright. As the Seducer grows more experienced, their charms become more effective:
- Saving throw: -1 penalty every 2 levels after level 1, and every 3 levels after level 11.
- Range: +5 feet every 2 levels after level 1, and every 3 levels after level 11.
- The chance of charming a non-human target increases by 5% at level 4 and every 2 levels afterwards.
Thus, a level 12 Seducer may charm any creature within 35 feet on a failed save vs. spell with no penalty, with a 30% chance of affecting a non-humanoid target. Charm is not limited by the Seducer's line of sight; he or she can target creatures who are invisible, behind a corner, or (at higher levels) out of the Seducer's visual range. Charm bypasses spell protections, magic resistance, and immunity to charm.
BETRAYAL: The Seducer does not deal extra damage when backstabbing an opponent, but if the target is under the Seducer's control, he or she may attempt to land a fatal blow while the target's guard is down. If the victim fails its save vs. death at +3, the Seducer will kill it instantly, using whatever weak point the Seducer can divine from its thoughts. Every 4 levels after level 1, victims of Betrayal must make their save at an additional -1 penalty, up to -2 at level 17. If the victim makes its save, the effects of Charm are broken and the Seducer cannot charm the target for another 5 rounds. Targets who are immune to instant death effects will still take damage on a failed save.
High-Level Abilities: Seducers do not gain normal thief HLAs. Instead of Use Any Item, Avoid Death, Assassination, and HLA traps, the Seducer may choose a set of new psionic abilities.
DUAL-CLASS REQUIREMENTS: 13 Intelligence, 15 Wisdom, 17 Charisma

SAY ~War Hulk~
SAY ~WAR HULK: A War Hulk is an undisciplined, wild, and savage fighter. While most warriors develop their skills in the martial arts, the War Hulk only seeks raw strength. The War Hulk eschews strategy and tactics, preferring to concentrate all of his or her energy into a single massive blow.
CLASS FEATURES:
- May only make a single attack per round, regardless of level, weapon choice, or magical enchantments
- May not use missile weapons
- May only place a single proficiency in any weapon class or fighting style
SAVAGE BLOW: Although the War Hulk may only land a single strike per round, each attack has incredible force behind it. The War Hulk gains +1 Strength every level from level 1 to 5, and +1 to hit and damage every level thereafter. The War Hulk also gains +1 to his or her critical hit rolls at level 1 and every 2 levels after, up to a maximum of +19 at level 38.
CRITICAL STRIKE: Whenever the War Hulk lands a critical hit, the target must make a save vs. death at -4 or be stunned, pushed back, and knocked unconscious for 6 seconds. At level 2 and every 2 levels after, the save penalty increases by 1, up to a maximum of -9 at level 10. Helpless opponents can be hit automatically, but the War Hulk cannot land a critical hit on a prone target.
RAGE: War Hulks channel their rage into their strikes, using pain and fury to add force to each blow. War Hulks strike harder when they are wounded, but the rage weakens their minds and causes them to lower their defenses. Whenever the War Hulk suffers damage, he or she gains a set of combat bonuses and penalties:
+3 damage
+1 THAC0
+1 save vs. death
+1 movement rate
Immunity to fear
-1 AC
-1 save vs. spell
25% chance of going berserk and gaining double the above bonuses and penalties on a failed save vs. spell at -5
All effects are cumulative and last 2 rounds.
- Hit Die: 2d8 (2d6 after level 9)~

Sorry but it'll have to wait, I'll do it for you, don't worry, but right not now :P
If you want you can use the signature "US" already, since nobody has it nor has asked for it.
I recommend opening the clab.2da file and replacing (xx) with USxx with a quick text search and replace, same for the .tp2, doing this manually only leads to errors and suicide (not joking, it's very boring).
It turns out that spell names and item names work just fine using the parentheses, but parentheses tend to break TP2 stuff if they're used in .d file names, projectiles, or the in-game name of the kit. This means I can keep most of my spell files unchanged; all I had to do is rename a few projectiles and change the kit name (WH)00 to USWH00, and (SD)77 to USSD77. This is important because my spell files and item files reference each other, and I'd have to do tons of edits if I were to remove parentheses from each one.
I only have one problem left. After wiping the previous kit names (the ones with parentheses) from the game's .2da files and KIT.ids, I was able to install all of my new mods. They all work fine, and the .2da files and KIT.ids only have the new names, USWH00 and USSD77. However, there are two copies of the kit during character creation. I assume it has something to do with the name change, even though the old parenthetical names are gone. If I uninstall the kit, neither shows up during character creation.
You can actually choose either one and they'll both work as intended. But if this appears on somebody else's game, they'll worry that it's a dangerous bug.
If you're not worried about seeing a problem on your own install, I could send you the complete kit and you could see if there were two copies on character creation. The kit mod is complete at this point.
