Any way to disable double XP in SoD?

Zandos

Hi, I installed SoD, but I noticed, that I receive double XP on insane, like it was in IWD, but in IWD EE there was option to disable this bonus.
It makes BG so much easier, rather that harder, with twice leveling speed.
Any way to disable that double XP?

Zandos, to do that you'll have to edit Baldur.lua.

If you don't know how to do it: Baldur.lua is a file located in your "documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition" folder. Open it with a good text editor (such as Sublime) - Notepad doesn't work too well.

To disable XP bonuses from Hard and Insane difficulties, add this line:

SetPrivateProfileString('Game Options','No Difficulty Based XP Bonus','1')

Thank's a lot!
Will notepad++ work?

I opened this file with notepad++, lots of cool options to enable/disable there :]

@Kilivitz - Thank you! Not for the obvious reason (I like extra XP ), but because it made me aware that I need to add this to the 'Hidden Game' feature of my 'Mods Options' mod. In fact, I realize I need to scan Baldur.lua for other appropriate items that don't appear in either the standard 'Gameplay' options menu nor in 'Hidden Game'.
