BGEE/BG2EE: Override folders and priorities

[argent77]

I haven't seen this posted somewhere already, so I want to share a more complete list of override folders and their priorities for both BG:EE and BG2:EE.

1. GAME\Lang\xx_YY\Movies (overrides all others)
   
2. GAME\Lang\xx_YY\Sounds
   
3. GAME\Lang\xx_YY\Scripts (BG:EE only?)
   
4. USER\Movies
   
5. USER\Characters
   
6. USER\Portraits
   
7. USER\Sounds
   
8. USER\Scripts
   
9. USER\Override
   
10. GAME\Movies
    
11. GAME\Characters
    
12. GAME\Sounds
    
13. GAME\Scripts
    
14. GAME\Override (is overriden by all others)

Some of this contradicts what is already in IESDP:

Has the override folder order changed?

The list in my first post is based on tests I have done for BG:EE v1.2 and BG2:EE v1.2.2030. I was able to verify parts of it by browsing the binary code of the game executables. It is possible that it worked differently in older game versions.
