a) This version of Librarius Ex Balduran include information about all sort

of melee, ranged (and ammo for it) weapons, armors, amulets (which have useful

abilities), spell scrolls, rings and other stuff. Also you can find lists of

Heroes (who can be joined to your party) and list which include more than 120

NPC. And, of course, you find here their locations and "codes". If you use Excel

97 or some versions of Excel 2000 you can using hyperlinks.

Current version include informations for original BG from LEB v.1 Fixed 2 and

information for official add-on (TOTSC).

FIXES (build 2) for original BG v1.1.4315:

promise what this list will be updated.

2c) System Requirements

For properly work you need in Excel 97 (or 2000). This file also can be run

under Excel 5.0/95. But through this you will have some problems.

You can't use hyperlinks, menu at first page. You can't see color marked

text in Note windows and you have to manually resize pop-up notes to read all

text inside it.

You also need in any program which can unpack this ZIP archive.

For adequate matching information from this document to you game you need use

final version of BG Patch (it can be downloaded from www.Interlay.com).

"r" - round.

4c) Known Problems

If you would like to hack your save file and put on your characters some items,

sometimes you will have some sort of problems. Author don't warranty properly

"codes" work. For example there are some sort of problems with code "BOW05" and

"RING23" (Long Bow +1 and Ring of Folly). Don't try use codes which not exist in

this document. It can cause you save file (because this item not exist).

If you change not last item in save file - it will cause you game too. Best way

- modify your character's exported file.

If your system was infected by macros viruses you will check your system.

Originally this file were checked and was free from any type of viruses. Check

your system or ask person who mail it to you (if this document was received not

directly from author by E-mail).

This document also specialized for BG with final patch version. Through this

you can't find some sort information which was right for original (not patched)

version (for example, Ring of Wizardry no longer exist in Friendly Amn Inn area).

Full version of "Librarius Ex Balduran" archive took about 900 kb. To receive

next versions of this document directly from author you need in E-mail address

and your mail terminal will have ability to receive files larger than 500 kb.
