I was wondering, is it possible to put items from BG2 into BG1?

Okay... two methods :

1,CLUA console it in (that is if its in the first game aswell as the second.)

2, Create it. Using Infinity Engine editor Pro available at teambg.com

Either way its not for the newbie gamer...

So if your not prepared to do the above the answer is Basicly : no :rolleyes: .

Is it possible to get BG2 items by placing their ITM files in the BG1 Override (and CLUA-ing them in, of course)?

Not without some serious editing. You'd have to change the ITM file itself to make it compatible with BGI, then you'd also have to make changes to the corresponding BAM files, as well as edit the dialog.tlk file (if you wanted to see an item description).
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Since the spell doesn't exist in BG1, the helm will not be able to use it. So you can get the helm - after some serious editing to the BAM files, the descriptions and that are a bit easier to do - but it will not work as it did in BG2, it'll just be another normal helm.
