I downloaded it here. But I was mistaken on something. It isn't IEEP, it's Near Infinity (I always seem to get them confused). :embarrassed: Sorry for the confusion!

All of the game's items are contained in a file called "items.bif". As far as I can tell it's sort of like a zip file - all of the individual items are packed together into one big file. You can find that file in your "Data" directory as Vaskez has said.

To get at the individual files, you have to extract them from the .bif file. WinBiff will work, as will Near Infinity.

Again, very sorry for the confusion. I'm feeling pretty idiotic at the moment if it's any consolation. [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: For WinBiff, you have to "load" the game first. Click on Load (you'll see it's looking for KEY file), then browse to your BG2 directory and click on/open "chitin.key". A list of BIF files should appear in the left window. You'd simply scroll down to "items.bif", select it, and choose the specific item(s) you were interested in from the right window.
