Isn't there a way to disable the movies? My Intel hardware is barely letting me wander around Candlekeep and it is playable so far, but the movies/cutscenes are simply too much to handle. It tries to play them, the frame rate must be one frame per 4 or 5 seconds, lol. But I can click through them easily enough.
I just hope there is away to simply turn them off.
Before I break anything, I thought that maybe I could just delete all of the movie files? Maybe create "dummy" files of the same format that are blank or something?
does anyone know the item ID for wyvern heads? I accidently sold my 2 heads to a temple and i can't finish Coran's quest now, i tried using MISC52 ID from the list in the OP post but it says it doesn't exist

You could just go to the Wyvern Cave and do some resting - usually they pop up quite often and its a good source for money/XP, as the heads are worth 1000G in Beregost as long as you also have bandit skalps (Jovial JUggler/Officer whatever) I think she vanishes otherwise if the bandit quest is finished or you can't give her the heads at all. Can't really remember though...
@Oxford_Guy Where do you have your baldur.ini? And what OS are you running? Also... its Ctrl+Space! Ctrl+M is a seperate console command, see commands in top post.

I'm running Windows 7 on a MacBook Air (via Bootcamp)
@Oxford_Guy Can I assume the folder structure for Win 7 is the same when bootcamped to the Mac? I honestly don't know, I have normal Win 7. If you have your main install and a documents with your Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition folder/characters-save-mpsave-bpsave-portraits, etc... then your Baldur.ini should be in there. Is that location write-protected? Are your ini changes actually sticking?
What text editor do you use to change the .ini file?
Notepad, I could use Sublime Text instead, but Notepad shouldn't f*** things up too much (though it doesn't seem to display any line endings, my baldur.ini file is one long continuous string)
I've changed other settings okay in notepad, and they work (e.g. the "Big Screen Beta")

They seem to be being written to file and being saved
@Oxford_Guy I am not sure why it doesnt work then. Might be your notepad is messing up something. Have you tried another text editor? I use ConTEXT (but I am a dinosaur and dont like to change)... its still available and free. http://www.contexteditor.org/
One other thing to try is to edit the ini outside of the directory and then drop it back in. It might not be getting all the correct changes. I dont know though.

I'll try editing with Sublime Text, that usually manages to not screw up text
Hi. I was wondering how do I remove the experience cap if anyone could help. Please.
Wrong thread for this, of course, but you need only to edit xpcap.2da; this is most easily done using NearInfinity. I already altered mine a little to make sure that even multiclass characters can reach 9th level in all their classes (except fighter/mage/thief who can get to 8/9/10 and fighter/mage/cleric who can get to 8/9/9 but that should be good enough for this game). If you want to remove the cap altogether then set every numeric value to -1...but that can lead to overkill; I am uncertain if the higher-level spells were fixed so they might also cause problems here.

Got it working now, much easier to see what's going on with Sublime Text! Thanks for the tips.
@Mathsorcerer Thanks, still experimenting with this also and will update the top post when I have all that is required and still won't break the game. BGEE does ship with some of the HLA's.. but even one missing one could be bad. And then there are the progression tables... just gaining more levels is not enough! Hehe.

Haven't decided which forum it really belongs in, so will leave it here for now and unstickied. Modding might be more appropriate, not sure.

It seems those only indicate "have I seen them yet." When I set them all to FALSE, they all switch back after I see them in game.
"For PC users, we have a beta big screen mode: put this into your baldur.ini file: 'Graphics', 'Scale UI', '0',"
Tis early days still, but it shrinks the UI quite a bit
not bad, but because the UI doesn't scale up, the menu is positioned on the top mid
'Program Options', 'Debug Mode', '1'
To my Baldur.ini file, but I can't get the console to open in the game, I've tried both Ctrl Space and Ctrl M, am I doing something wrong?
Also... its Ctrl+Space! Ctrl+M is a seperate console command, see commands in top post.
