[REQ] Early Glabrezu spawn tweak?

Hello!
Qwinn made a tweak, which caused Greater Glabrezu to spawn in the Undersigil *before* you leave Sigil, but only for the vanilla PS:T. Could we please have an update of the mod for PST:EE?
I think the drops from Greater Glabrezu are pretty much useless by the time you get them, so this tweak seems very useful.

BTW, another user already requested this in the feature requests.

Thanks!

    The thing with that mod was that whoever makes it needs to also adjust the XP reward on it (before endgame). It spawning is fine, it dropping those items is also fine, but it giving frankly absurd XP is gamebreking.

    Now I open a ticket for that: https://support.baldursgate.com/issues/34799

    Sure, nerfing the XP is a detail, I mostly care about the items. The vanilla did that too. I think 70k -> 12k.

    Hmm, I'm not sure if opening a ticket helps. It seems Beamdog considers this as an idea for a mod, not a game feature request. We need a mod for this. I'd be willing to try and create it myself, but I'd like some support from someone more experienced in IE modding (I have zero experience with this).

    The script for this mod in Qwinn's Tweak Pack .tp2 is very short. Could any WeiDU-Ninjas have a look at it and tell us which functions, if any, would need to be adjusted for EE?
