Sorry for that topic, the question may have been answered a couple of time. I found some lead on Shadowkeeper, but not an answer...

I just want to know if there is a way to use shadowkeeper on BG:EE? I install it, but it said it try to find my Shadow of Amn Folder, which is not installed.

So i Tried to pooint the path to BG:EE in "My Folder" (for the save game), but it wont work.

Anyone have an idea?

    Well then someone needs to take up the task ;) Actually many Devs are creating these kinds of tools for the nodding community. So it shouldnt be too hard to knock something out.

    @immagikman Shadowkeeper and Gatekeeper are a bit outdated and can screw up your game. There are plenty of better tools now with NI and DLTCEP. The devs here have mentioned they will look into some kind of toolkit for the game. The request thread is somewhere buried deep by now.

    But... If they do make a toolkit.... they should call it "Pitkeeper" :P

    Any IE editor like the popular Near Infinity and DLTCEP can do the same and more. It takes more time to get used to them however, SK is good for its ease-of-use.

    I really hope we get something so that we can use custom portraits for our characters and the NPC's! I drew my character, but it's more of a cartoony style, so I did portraits of the NPC's in my style.

    A savegame editor from the official devs can be great. So my thief/mage will look like a thief

    For ease of use vs functionality, Shadowkeeper cannot be beat.
  • immagikmanimmagikman Member Posts: 664
    I agree with @Ashiel The simplicity and functionality were near perfect, Someone mentioned they broke the game, I never ran into that problem but I wasnt messing with the graphics just stats, inventory and abilities.

    Shadowkeeper worked for me in switching out portraits. I hope it will work with BG:EE.

    I've done extensive use of Keeper, either by changing stats, portraits and inventory and never had a problem.

    Shadowkeeper is/was for BG2 not BG1. For BG1 you need GateKeeper. No idea if it works with Enhanced Edition though (probably not)> I always preferred the TeamBG editor for BG1 and only used Gatekeeper for inventory editing.

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition runs on a modified version of the BG2 engine, not the original BG1 engine. ShadowKeeper can be made to work with BG:EE; follow the instructions here:

    You might want to read through the rest of that thread in its entirety, as there are additional comments on the subject, some of which make it considerably easier (though it isn't in a single post as per the above).

    This doesn't seem to work, even though I had BG2 and Shadowkeeper already installed :-(

    EDIT: got it working, after installing the script you have to point Shadowkeeper to the BGEE "\00766\" folder. (The program will yell at you because it's not BG2, but that's fine). Restart shadowkeep, then all is fine - Joy! :-)
