With Adventurer's Spa and Grill dead, I decided to host both of these mods myself. With help from CamDawg, they were fully converted to PC and I have not encountered any incompatabilites with either of these involving any other mods.

I would have e-mailed the author, but there was no way to contact him via email or any other way listed in the readme. As this was seemingly not removed at his request, but by site death I sw no harm in hosting/converting them.

If The Wizard or anyone else would like to move these to better download locations, I see no harm in that either.

*EDIT* Thanks to The Wizard, this mod has more stable download locations:

http://iegmc.mirror....edia.com.sg/mts
ftp://mirror.interme...g/pub/iegmc/mts
http://iegmc.tiefighter.org/mts

*EDIT* removed dead download links.

What happened to the Mac site - down forever, or just now? Anyone know why, or where they've gone?

Yeah, her stats are a bit high. I have always wondered if her strength was a bug.

Seems odd she has a 19 strength and a girdle of hill giant strength in her inventory.

I just finished spellhold with her and she aint too bad. When I picked her up I tweaked her stats down some and left the Girdle laying on the ground.

Pretty decent paladin and has some good banters during the game.

I have to agree with that. I think humans should have max 18/00 strenght for some sense, half-orcs are supposed to be stronger, and max at 19. And one belt per game is enough in my opinion (the one Ribald has).

Yeah, she does need a bit of work. I did not want to change her too much, just convert it to PC.

I would like her to have her own portrait (I always replace it manually, I hate Skie's portrait and BG2 does not use it anyway).

I tend to tweak her stats on my end as well. I just wish she had more "interparty" banter with the Bioware NPCs.

You can tell she is an early NPC though, and for that I forgive alot. I just wish the original author would expand it a bit.

Maybe add a "tweaked" character version of Sandra to your pack, MTS? Or at least a portrait?

I can do that. Taking suggestions as always.

In other news more download links added to the top post, thanks to The Wizard.

Greetings. I am Lord_Jeremy, a modder from The Spa and Grille. We went down for some time while the server was having dificulty (some fool admin on another site hosted on the same server as us used up all of the space on the server). Everything is fixed now, though some things may be missing as our admin panicked when he noticed the disk space problem and started deleted files frantically. For those that don't know, we reside Here.

Edit: (12/19/05)
The server just went down again. I'm not sure as to why yet, but I'll report back as soon as I find out!

Well, it seems the Spa and Grille is back online. No idea as to why yet, though. I'll report back as soon as I find out why.

I know it is probably just my ignorance, but whenever I try to run setup-SBS.exe
I get this line in it:
{ SETUP-SBS.EXE.DEBUG} queried < pid = -1 >
and I'm stuck. Same goes for Alec Macintosh too and every mod that I try to install
after it.
Please tell me how can I fix this.

Sadly, that is a known issue.

Oh, and the readme.txt doesn't start after installation. On my systems, the readme has the .txt.txt extension. :blink:

In fact, your PC conversions of Summon Bhaalspawn and Alex Macintosh both had the WeiDU setup file with the .exe.exe extension.

Yeh, I messed up uploading it to The Wizard. I am trying to upload a few new things, but either I am messed up or his FTP site is updating.

You can delete/re-name as needed, or re-download it from either my MSN group, or from my crappy geocities site. Both of those files are ok.

So these two mods will have proper hosting soon.

With that said, I am planning on making two optional component for both Sandra's portrait, and one for her stats.

Anyone who has used her got any suggestions for her stats?
