Which mod is this -- NPC catch-up levelling

Endaar · September 2017

Just a quick question... one of the mods I have installed allows for NPCs that you take into your party to "catch-up" on levelling, if you got them later in the game or dumped them off for a while and then they re-joined. Could anyone tell me what mod in particular is doing this? I don't have a very long list, but I was not able to find any literature about this feature in their respective readmes : BG1NPC project, SCS, BG1 Unfinished Business, ankheg armor mod, BG1 classic movies mod.

Thanks!

It's EE behavior and unrelated to your mods.

Thanks @Kurona! I don't suppose there's any way to disable it if I wanted to?

You need to edit the override scripts of every party member with Near Infinity to remove or disable the block dealing with this. They're named things like "Edwin.bcs" or "Coran.bcs" and the blocks look like this:

IF
	Global("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",0)
	InParty(Myself)
	XPGT(Player1,31999)
	XPLT(Myself,32000)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetInterrupt(FALSE)
		SetGlobal("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",1)
		ChangeStat(Myself,XP,32000,SET)
		AddSpecialAbility("SPWI119") // Larloch's Minor Drain
		AddSpecialAbility("SPWI205") // Horror
		AddSpecialAbility("SPWI211") // Melf's Acid Arrow
		AddSpecialAbility("SPWI212") // Mirror Image
		AddSpecialAbility("SPWI305") // Haste
		AddSpecialAbility("SPWI309") // Monster Summoning I
		SetInterrupt(TRUE)
END

You need to do it yourself because my own scripts are likely very different than yours due to mods. There's probably a way to automate it in a compatible way with Weidu but my Weidu-fu is lacking, to say the least.
