Latest version released: beta 3

[DavidW]

The third beta version is now out, and fixes quite a lot of issues large and small that have shown up with the first two versions. Thanks largely to the intrepid work of many testers, I think this version is (touch wood) a lot more stable - still "install at own risk", but the risk hopefully has diminished somewhat. (I still expect compatibility with some UI-based mods to be an issue.)

Changelog:

• Unique icons for the HLAs that were using reused or IWD2 icons - huge thanks to Lava for the design work here.
• LUA functions now load correctly in ability-modifier and ability-pointbuy components.
• Zero-level multiclassed characters can now level to 1st level (after fixing a complicated interaction of the HLA system with the level-0 hack for NPC customization).
• Kit (and god) selection screens in SoD now have scrollbars.
• Fixed a glitch in the Tweaks/ToF component-compatibility code.
• Smite Evil component now installs properly on batch mode.
• Barbarian Rage is no longer broken by the 'revised HLAs' component.
• Sorcerer bloodlines are now documented properly.
• Favored Soul component no longer breaks scripts containing 'OriginalClass'.
• New HLA system should now install properly even if spell system tweaks are not present.
• Recoded 'Empowered Healing' to avoid various instabilities.
• Fixed a number of problems with the 'NPC Customization and Management' component.
• Fixed some problems with Smite Evil/Good.
• Drow/Svirfneblin MR is now set correctly if you create a character of level >1.
• Library functions can now handle kit and class names with ' or " (but not both!) in them.
• Library functions can now handle kits which have not been assigned a HLA luxxxx file.
• Fixed a bug that was preventing third-party-added priest spells from showing up.
• Fixed some bugs in the code that hides unwanted abilities from the action bar.
• If you install the low-level ability system, characters start at level 1 and can level up at the start of the game, so as to get their abilities.

• Werewolf regeneration has been restored.
• Sorted out some anomalies with assigning subraces to joinable NPCs.
• NPC-only kits are no longer made available to the PC if you use 'remove class/race restrictions'.

• Fixed many small errors in class/kit/race descriptions.
• Made the UI edits a bit more robust, in part to improve compatibility with Lefruet's UI and with EEUITweaks.
• Deprecated the 'use IWD slow poison' spell tweak, as it would require systematic regimenting of BG/BG2 poisons.
• 'Increase the accuracy of Mordenkainen's Force Blade' tweak should now install.
• Resolved some inconsistencies in the Stonefist spell's description and effect, and fixed the missing level in the description of 'Telekinesis'.
