Bardez, for reasons known only to himself, made it so the music isnt installed by any of the .bat files.

You have to copy the music from trilogy-src into your main folder by hand.

Once you've done that you can delete the archive and the trilogy-src folder, which saves a couple of gigs of space. (When I say delete the archive, I mean burn it to CD then delete it).

I havent noticed any speed issues myself, the orignal NPCs seem to be moving at BG2 speed. BG2 handles level 1 characters quite badly though, and bardez has applied more than one dirty hack to get around it. Might be the speed was increased twice or something.

You might be able to use shadowkeeper to correct it. A starting SoA monk and a starting BGT monk both have speed of 2.

The XP for locks & scrolls is a known problem , but balancing it for BG1 would unbalance it for BG2. Its not a massive problem unless you abuse it or have a mage heavy party.
