Changes in v7 proper:
- IWD2EE now has a 'core' component that is used for detection rather than the config file
And the changes from the 'test version' for v7:
- Should be fully compatible with IWD2EE
- Hildury only had her correct bio if she started at level 1
- Valeero's Decorated Helmet had an undocumented +1 armor bonus that has been removed
- Valeero's Decorated Helmet only came with one charge of Sunscorch, despite having a max of 25 charges. It will now start with 25 charges; feedback as to whether this imbalances the early part of the game is appreciated
- Items which cast spells now invoke the underlying spells instead of copying their effects; this allows the items to reflect changes made to the spells by other mods (e.g. IWD2EE)
- Salomeya's Garrote wasn't working well and has been revised. Using Salomeya's Garrote will now create a garrote (once per day) in the magical weapon slot (like Black Blade of Disaster). You then attack your target like a normal melee weapon and the garrote will disappear after a single hit or ten rounds, whichever happens first.
- The language-specific parts of the character and biography files are now derived from the translation files instead of maintaining (literal) scores of redundant files
- Worked on making the alternative avatars for Peony more reliable; previously they were inconsistent about updating the avatar on the inventory screen
- Minor typos in some banter scripting could have been preventing a few banters
- IWD2 NPC was assuming a few dialogues and scripts didn't exist and was creating them without checking; this could potentially overwrite changes from other mods
- For compatibility, more items are copied from current items and altered instead of being created from static files
- Added a new component to select the alternative NWN-style portraits for the NPCs
- Bug fix from paladin84 where one branch of a dialogue was not creating the item it was supposed to
- Updated Russian translation, courtesy of paladin84
- NPC soundsets will now play during character creation. thanks paladin84
- Typo fixes
- Overall modernization of the package: added hooks for Project Infinity, updated readme and appendix (lots of old, broken links), many internal optimizations, removed unused files
