Reputation is at 9, I started as NE and I'm only at FAI, so no adjustments yet. I did install some tweaks related to rep though:

@Shin - btw, thanks for looking into this for me. I don't know where to start on fixing things like this. I figure you are probably using NI or something to edit that file, but not sure what changes are made.
@SirK8 Hm, strange. I tested it here now and it seems to make him stay with the party. Not to sound like a support guy, but are you sure you put the file I posted in your override? None of the mods you have installed should affect this afaik. Also make sure you restart the game after replacing the file if you didn't already.
@Shin - no worries on sounding like a support guy. I did triple check earlier. Here's what I found though, going to an earlier save (still in candlekeep) I recruited him and the dialogue is working fine now. It just doesn't fix it for my current save for some reason.
The one you originally posted *did* impact my saved game, meaning Monty didn't leave, but it had the wrong dialogue. Due to that, I had assumed I could use my save with the new one you posted.
I'm not too far into the game, so starting from there is ok. I mainly wanted to avoid a full reinstall of those mods again, so thank you very much for your help.
Edit: Some more testing on my earlier save. I killed off Xzar (like in my current save) and removed him from the party. Monty is now leaving again instead of his dialogue He seems to break if Xzar is dead/removed
@SirK8 Sure, glad it works. As stated it's an issue inherent to BGEE, but the NPC Project probably makes it surface as it leads you to converse with party members. Anyway, it'll be fixed in BGEE 1.3, so hopefully there won't be a need for a workaround that much longer.
One more thing - any francophones out there who could translate the missing item descriptions for BGEE, bgee.tra? The current version in my BG1NPC package is from Google Translate, so I'm certain it's laughably bad.
@Shin - I'm glad to hear it will be fixed in 1.3. Also using NI I compared the broken file and the 2 files you provided me and I think I figured out what you did (or at least part of it). So I may be able to fix this myself if I need to for a future install.

Indeed, I was a bit sloppy. The first change only corrected Montaron leaving due to high reputation, which may not even have been your issue since you only had 9. The second change corrected him leaving due to lack of Xzar after you explained your situation. It's unusual for people to drop just Xzar in that way I think, so it didn't occur to me at first.
@AstroBryGuy Here is a French version of bgee.tra. It's encoded in UTF8, as the file has not been added to the list of files to convert (and there is no reason to). I also updated the setup.tra file to use the proper name for the mephit added recently and update the weidu prompts translations (adding new ones for selecting the language in BGEE). Please replace it.
Regarding the conversion to UTF8 for polish, there is a mistake in the tp2 file. It should be "polish" => "CP1250" CP1252 is used for Western Europe languages and does not contain the special characters for polish and several other Eastern Europe languages. CP1250 is used for polish on Windows, and that's how the old BG II expected the characters.
Regarding the problems faced by @Etamin, I believe the conversion is refused by iconv because the input file y are at least partly due to using the wrong conversion.
Besides there are a few errors in the polish tra files: x#ajantischallenges_pr.tra exists only in polish (this file is redundant and has been removed) x#ajchal.tra exists only in polish (this file is redundant and has been removed) missing @37 in polish\x#kaqst.tra duplicate @95 in polish\x#lp3rep.tra @31 in polish\x#npcwait.tra contains illegal characters outside '~~' (=) @112 in polish\x#npcwait.tra contains 1 '~' @3803 in polish\x#pcinit_tmp.tra contains @3804 (they are on a single line) duplicate @11 in polish\x#totsc.tra duplicate @116 in polish\x#totsc.tra @231 in polish\x#viconia.tra contains unknown keyword @319 in polish\x#xanlt.tra bad sound tag [XAN 17] (contains space)
Here is a fixed polish directory. I only dealt with the syntax issue that would prevent installation (x#kaqst.tra, x#npcwait.tra, x#pcinit_tmp.tra, x#viconia.tra, x#xanlt.tra). I couldn't handle duplicates without knowing the language (texts are sometimes different between the duplicates). However the only issue with them is that you may get the "wrong" one in the game but it's probably no big deal.
I managed to install the mod in polish with theses changes to the polish language and the tp2 file. Banters trigger in the game and they are definitely in a polish looking language, including the special characters.
@Etamin, don't forget to update the tp2 file as stated above if you want to try the archive.
It's working! So finally this day has come. After 508 days we have NPCProject in polish! It definitely took "a little while" like LiamEsler said in first post here .
@Shin - No worries, the help was appreciated and came at lightning speed I'm trying out an all rogue party just for fun, and CHARNAME decided to kill Xzar in his sleep due to his insanity :P

@AstroBryGuy It seems to be working on my PC version. Hooray! Thanks. And now, off to find that bloody throwing dagger somewhere .... For me, getting the NPC1 Project installed on EE took on a whole new level of urgency once I read somebody's offhand remark somewhere about that dagger.
Finally got this installed just one thing it came upon something with ajantis coran and xan after you installed the romance aspect and it wouldn't install is that normal or no. Okay it was the female romance challange.

The romance challenge uses assets from two areas from BG2. These areas aren't in a BGEE installation. So, I disabled that component on BGEE for now.
I'm continuing to enjoy this mod, especially Imoen needling Tiax about Cryic, love it. I did run into one problem though, I can't find where to access Cloakwood Forest. It doesn't seem to open (I've tried traveling from FAI and other surrounding areas, but the map does not reveal.
~BG1NPC.TP2~ #0 #29 // The BG1 NPC Project: Cloakwood areas availability in Chapter One -> Open four Cloakwood areas (everything but the Mines): v21_PRERELEASE_3_AY#
Should I be doing anything in particular to get it to reveal? I'm playing an all thief game and need Coran
@SirK8 These components have not been completely adjusted for the names of areas in BGEE. Here is a modified tp2 (based on latest from @AstroBryGuy) that should add the missing bits. Remember that, as stated during the installation, you need to start a new game for this to work.
@Isaya - I started a new game (hopefully I'll actually finish this one, then it will be time to buy BGII:EE). The Cloakwood area is showing up. Thank you!
I assume that these guys are a part of BG1 NPC Project too since I can't recall meeting them during recent vanilla run, but I don't know what are they supposed to do, apart from playing some Faerunian version of verbal 2048, apparently
Btw., it's probably them what stops Sorrem (Rasaad's questline) from showing up, I had to cconsole him and it seems that everything works properly since then - no more mod-related bugs for now.
@winters They are indeed from BG1 NPC. They belong to the Tiax quest. I don't know if they appear independantly of having him in the party but from some quest dialogs, it's not unlikely. The missing strings are standard voiced lines of BG II reused by these characters. For instance 61375 for Karris would apply to a successful pickpocket. When used with BG1Tutu or BGT, these BG II reference exist. I guess that this shows how much work remains if all characters used in BG1 NPC must be checked and their voiced lines redirected to some existing BGEE line or the corresponding lines added to the mod.
Regarding the consequence on Rasaad quest, the way the script of this house is made and how BG1 NPC adds the characters (at the end of the script) ensures that BG1 NPC won't interfere. If Sorrem is missing, it's because some BGEE condition is not met. RASAAD_PLOT should be 3 for Sorrem to appear. It worked for me when I force joined Raasad and set the variable. I guess either you were not advanced enough in the plot or there was a BGEE issue.
They talk about not having the time right now and ask to return later if Tiax isn't in the party, so I guess it's quite an elegant way to deal with things.
About Rasaad's quest. This is weird. I didn't check the globals before spawning Sorrem the first time I couldn't find him. The second time everything went as it should, he appeared where he's supposed to, but... now Karris' party follows me around, they climb up and down the stairs when I do and even leave the building if I'm not fast enough. That's actually kind of hilarious.

@Etamin - I added the polish translation. Let me know how it works.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80058200/BG1NPC-AstroBryGuy-20140418.zip
The only change here is adding the polish translation (i.e., no need to redownload if you don't want BG1NPC in Polish).
I've attached the English version of the file.
I incorporated your translation for the missing items into the BG1NPC spanish files. Thank you very much for that!
PS - How would you translate "Smoke Mephit" into spanish?
I think that 'Mefit de Humo' goes very well.
