1. Introduction
This mod compatible with BG:TotSC, BGT-WeiDU, EET, BG:EE and EasyTutu. If you use mod Northern Tales of the Sword Coast BGT-Weidu,

8. Most important differences between BG1:TotSC version and BGT/Tutu:

::1:: "Bags of holding" are not implemented in BG1,

::2:: Graphical effect by upgrading of items is different as on BG2 engine,

::3:: Items properties changes:

_a/ ~Boots of the Thief 'Fast Legs'~:
Hide in Shadows Bonus: +35%
instead
Move Silently Bonus: +20%
Hide in Shadows Bonus: +15%
like in ~Boots of Shadow~ in BG1, there is no "Move Silently" parameter in BG1

_b/ ~Sword of the Murderer~:
Equipped Ability:
15 % chance of each hit to paralyse a victim on 2 roundes (no save)
instead
Equipped Ability:
+1 to backstab multiplier
10 % chance of each hit to paralyse a victim on 2 roundes (no save)
There is no opcode for backstab bonus in BG1

::4:: Some items +KP are added to ITEMEXCL.2DA in BG1:

~Improved Shield Amulet~
~Improved Cloak of Non-Detection~
~Ring of Free Action +1~
~Ring of Free Action +2~

::5:: Inventory BAMS from ~Ring of Free Action +1~ and ~Ring of Free Action +2~
are slightly recolored to distinguish from "normal" ring of free action.
