Legacy Bg2 item bams

As a fan of the original bg2, there is a lot to like enhanced editions, I cant go back to the old game. However, I didnt like the item bams of the enhanced edition. In the original each base item has a cropped additional frame when staying still, and the big frame is only shown when the item is picked up. This is lost in ee, which only uses the big frame all the time. I really didnt like that fact of the user interface.
I took the original bam frames from the bg2 and reordered them to have the same functionality in enhanced edition. Also took the stonslot.bam which is the empty inventory slot icons, the mosaic of original bg2 instead of the dark emptiness of ee.
Screenshot is here, with bg2 style icons and inventory slot. the paperdoll is also legacy bg2 but I took it from another mod on this site. Finally I rounded up the font of postantiqua the ee comes with, to make it more identical with the original bg2 font. (the lower case e and g are editted)
Drop the Item bams (the files inside the zip archive) to your override to see them in game. I think I got %80 of the base game items. EE only items are no-go since they lack the small frame asset completely.
Drop the fonts to override to try the original bg2ified font look. To uninstall simply delete the files. If you have a lot of files in override, redrop the files to override, overwrite, and delete the already selected files that way for ease of use. Alternatively, drop them in an unused folder: create a new characters folder in the basegame location (in the installation path, the game will read the files there still. NOT the folder in my files location, they have the character files you saved.) and delete the folder if you dont like the changes.
Rename one font file to rgfont to use in the excellent Infinity UI++ mod.
