Hello all,
How do I uninstall custom items files from my computer? For example i recently downloaded Sabre's Boots of Godspeed, how to I remove them, because I know there are a few files within the IAP file, and they are all in different folders? How do I know where they are?

No idea, why not just uninstall BG2 and install it again?

Most of the custom files are just copied in some directories of the game mostly at the override folder so there is no way to unistalled them other from deleting them. Keep in mind that some of the custom files overwrite original files and deleting them might cause some problems. Keeping backups of these files will enable you to restore them later.

All files are added into the Override folder, in addition to the text addition to the dialogue.tlk file. There are four files, B-BOG.ITM, IB-BOG.BAM, GB-BOG.BAM and CB-BOG.BAM. All of the items that I've created have different names than those already in the game, so deleting the files will not cause any problem. The naming format is that, the ITM file is the same as the IAP file, and there are 3 BAM files with C, I and G infront of the name of the IAP file - these are only for the items that I've created. There is no way of removing the text reference fromt the dialogue.tlk file - unless you have a backup of the file somewhere; but there will not be any problems if the texts are still there, just makes the a bit file bigger.
Another thing about installing things with IEE, it that a Backup directory is automatically created by the program and if there were anything in the Override directory with the same name as the files that will be installed, they are copy to the Backup directory before the new files are installed.

Thanx for reply people, Sabre I got it.
Does it means that every custom item/spell I made or used makes changes to the dialogue.tlk file?
Thanx

Almost everything that involve IEE, but it wouldn't effect the game in anyway - the program adds texts to the file, but do not change any that is already there.

Thanx, many of my doubts are then cleared.
