There's an excellent save game editor called ShadowKeeper that works with the original game engine. Trying to run it on Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition doesn't work. The reason for this is because the original games stored saves and user data in the program directory. That now tends to be discouraged for a number of reasons, and the Enhanced Edition stores them inside the user's directories. I originally found a couple of threads on here that described some possible steps to get things working. I had some trouble initially, but I managed to adapt it and get it working. (Part of the problem was that I didn't install in the default location.) I noticed another thread about making a batch file, and I couldn't help but start playing with the idea.

Anyway, if you put this file in the game's installation directory and run it, it should fix ShadowKeeper automatically: Here's the link to download ShadowKeeper: Finally, I'd like to give credit to and anyone else involved in figuring out the files needed. (couldn't get it to work, at first) EDIT: Okay, I kept tinkering, and I finally got it to work, by studying carefully what it said in that DoS box. It wasn't working because it couldn't overwrite my previous copies of dummy files and folders in the game folder, so I deleted the dialog.tlk copy and the save folder copy I had made, and then it worked. So, this does make things much easier, and thank you so much! I think this deserves a sticky, because a whole lot of people are going to want this. (couldn't get it to work, at first) It wasn't working because it couldn't overwrite my previous copies of dummy files and folders in the game folder, so I deleted the dialog.tlk copy and the save folder copy I had made, and then it worked. I was actually aware of this problem after I did some testing.

The only way I would be able to fix it is to have the script delete any existing folders/file by the names being used. I thought about setting up a prompt to allow the user to choose whether to delete them.

I decided I wasn't comfortable with giving the script any ability to delete anything, just in case the user made a mistake or something else went wrong. My problem was that the actual program directories were in the%install path% Data 00766 directory and not just in%install path% I'm not really sure why some people's installations seem to have a 00766 directory. I can add in a check to see if it exists and adjust the paths accordingly. Unfortunately I don't have any way to test and see if it's working, so somebody else is going to have to try it and let me know. I'll see if I can't upload a new copy of the script later today or tomorrow. Also, I just wanted to say that anyone is welcome to make changes to the script and redistribute it.

I thought about putting something about GPL as a comment, but that seemed kind of silly for a batch file. I've created a new, significantly refined version of the script. It ended up being a lot more work than I expected, but it should resolve most of the potential problems. Namely the following: It should automatically detect if the 00766 directory is present. If it is, ShadowKeeper get's set to run out of the data directory instead of the base install folder.

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. The wizard Irenicus holds you captive in his stronghold, attempting to strip you of the powers that are your birthright.

If necessary, the script also creates links from data data to data 00766 and to chitin.key to make it work. I tested it the best I could, but someone with data 00766 might want to check it and let me know. If any of the files already exist, the script now asks if you'd like to move them to a backup directory. If the backup directory also already exists, the script asks you to manually delete it and run it again.

That way the script never deletes anything under any condition. I'll update the first post to link to the improved script.

For reference this is the new link: Here's the old link, just in case anyone needs it. Can anyone convert this.bat script to XP version? MKLINK is not available on XP. This should be LINKD command but it has different syntax like: LINKD source destination [ D] - i've tried but it didn't work Please help me Unfortunately all of my computers are either Windows 7 or Ubuntu at this point. I would need to find someone with an XP installation or virtual machine where I could install the game.

Most people I know don't have XP installed anywhere at this point. Like you said, maybe somebody else can come along and do it. I just tried it and it won't work for me on the 00766 Edit: when i run it, it says: ---Creating link for Dialog.tlk file. Symbolic link created for. Dialog.tlk >. Lang en_us dialog.tlk ---Creating links for save files, characters, and settings. The syntax of the command is incorrect.

The syntax of the command is incorrect. The syntax of the command is incorrect. And it creates a shadowkeeper folder in System32, with a dialog.tlk file that has 0kb. It sounds like the script somehow started with system32 as the current directory. The dialog.tlk file it creates is only a link, so it actually should be 0kB. I have some quick questions, if you don't mind answering them. Did you double-click on the script directly in Windows, or did you happen to open the command prompt first?

Is the folder it created in system32 called shadowkeeper or shadowbackup? Speak Now World Tour Free Download. Finally, what version of Windows are you using, and does your account have administrator access? I solved my problem by putting the batch file in the%install path% Data 00766 directory and it worked just fine since the directory structure you expect exists in that path. Shadowkeeper worked as well believing that the BG2 install directory was%install path% Data 00766. Works like a charm. Thanks for the batch file!

Can you tell me what's actually in your 00766 folder? Does it contain a bunch of.bif files, or are there any other folders or files that you see in it? I'm really surprised that it worked correctly from that directory. Among other things, I created a link to. Chitin.key, which should (theoretically) be directly in the installation folder. Provided that's the case, the script would need to link to.. Chitin.key in order for ShadowKeeper not to give an error message.

I'll think about it and see if I can figure out what might be going on. Did anyone with the 00766 directory get the script to work directly from the installation folder? Also, has anyone figured out what causes the different installations?

I wish I could get the game to install with the 00766 directory to look at the file structure with it. After several hours, I gave up on the batch file. Then I tried to figure out what the 'Shadowrun Install Directory' was supposed to be. I finally got it working as the Data/00766 directory.

In there is: override -- make this directory manually with the Windows command or 'mkdir' in a cmd window chitin.key -- original installation dialog.tlk -- hard link to the appropriate lang/*/. File Baldur.ini, characters, save -- soft links to the same file and directories in./My Documents/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition There is also a 'Portraits' directory in./My Documents/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition, with no link back to the install directory. Note that dialog.tlk *must* be a hard link. You cannot use the Windows Explorer 'create a shortcut' like you can for everything else. This is all a big waste of time.

There is a super simple solution. Download Shadowkeeper, put it in the install directory, the 0766 folder or wherever your baldur.exe is located. Copy bladur.exe and rename it BGMain.exe and put it back in the folder. Go into your lang/en_US copy the dialog.tlk and put it in the install directory. Then go into you documents and copy your save folder. Put that in the install folder as well.

Open up Shadowkeeper and direct it to the install directory. You will then be able to open any saved game and edit the characters in it. Just make sure to take the edited save file and put it back in the original save location. Open game and BOOM! This is all a big waste of time. There is a super simple solution.

Download Shadowkeeper, put it in the install directory, the 0766 folder or wherever your baldur.exe is located. Copy bladur.exe and rename it BGMain. Eset Product Activator 6.5. exe and put it back in the folder. Go into your lang/en_US copy the dialog.tlk and put it in the install directory. Then go into you documents and copy your save folder.

Sorry, but having to move all those files every time I edit a char/savefile to fix a broken game-part is more of a hassle and greater likelyhood of making a mistake with all the file shuffling. I like the install once method even if there are a few hoops to jump through. Sorry, but having to move all those files every time I edit a char/savefile to fix a broken game-part is more of a hassle and greater likelyhood of making a mistake with all the file shuffling. I like the install once method even if there are a few hoops to jump through. You only have to copy the files once, not move them and it's only 2 files and a folder.

The only files you would have move would be the edited save files back into the original folder. All you are really doing is tricking Shadowkeeper. Using all those other methods messes with the games actual installation and it gets overwritten when you update and then you will have to run through all those hoops again. Or you can just move your save folder when you want to edit and then put it back.

That way no game files get messed up. Simple and easy. It's not like you're going to be running Shadowkeeper every time you start the game anyways. I ran the batch file but not entirely sure where I'm supposed to move Shadowkeeper to. I moved the entire folder to Libraries>Documents>Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition. Note that I ran the file before moving Shadowkeeper.

Couldn't get it to work and I'm pretty ignorant on manually working with anything DOS. So I gave up before reading more on it here but when I loaded up the game all my saved game files were gone. Lol EDIT: I found my save games, they were moved to shadowbackup>save If I'm to restore them where do they need to go back to? 2nd Edit: Found where to put the save files with a little common sense (it comes and goes) but I'm still having trouble with SK. 2016 Overhaul Games, a division of Beamdog.
