    I go to the directory it installed in, click the file called Smithy, and it gives me some error message. Anyone had luck using this?

    I think you're missing the Visual Basic 6 Runtime Environment files (most likely). You can get them off: http://www.teambg.com/download.php?get=VB6pkg , or if that is not working, you could try to get Visual Basic. The tool is programmed with Visual Basic 6 (no less) and will not work (as any other VB programmed tool) without these files.

    I still think you should inform me of the error message, however, since it might be something more than the VB files.

    Bloody... why can't modders get it into their head to package install programs with their mods?!

    Get the runtimes like it says to do and it should work fine.

    Okay, I think I got it working. But Mindflayer, mind sending me a FAQ as to how to get this working totally? Even down to my configuring my BG2 path please?

    I'm writing a tutorial at the moment, so I was hoping to repackage the whole thing once first bugs are spotted. The update will probably not be late ;)

    By the way, if you have trouble setting a path, just click on the button (with the 3 wooden dots) next to the large black textbox, and select the path where chitin.key is located on your PC.
