This Weidu/perl mod will extend scripts and dialogs to also refer to player objects

beyond player 6. It can start anywhere, BUT IS ONLY USABLE with GemRB, since the

other engines do not support more objects.

Mods known not to cause problems (let me know!):

* NPC: Haldamir, Tashia, Saradas2, Kivan
16-
* Misc: Dungeon be gone
18+
Caveats:
19+
- scripting wise, up to 10 member parties are supported (Player10/Player10Fill objects)
20+
- easily extended in gemrb, if there's enough interest
21+
- there are no numerical keyboard shortcuts for the new portraits
22+
- inventory and other views are more constrained, so only 6 pcs are still displayed there
23+
- hotkeys or right-clicking on the portraits still works though
24+
- moving items requires dumping to the ground or reordering of portraits (ctrl-e reverses party order)
25+
- max party size is set through your gemrb.cfg (MaxPartySize)
26+
- this means you can also put a lower than 6 hard limit on party size

Every mod should work, but since the core of the mod is a dumb robot, there
32+
are bound to be Exceptions (see section below).

Mods confirmed not to cause problems:

* bg2

* NPC: Haldamir, Tashia, Saradas2, Kivan

* Misc: Dungeon be gone

Testing with other mods and/or finding appropriate overrides is very welcome!

Currently does nothing in PST and IWD2 due to the way their windows are set up.
42+
43+
The party window in iwd still has only 6 slots, so you'd need to use a hack:
44+
- create all the characters, but export the ones above 6
45+
- start the game, ctrl+space to open the console
46+
- cc("filename") (for each .cre exported earlier)
47+
- ctrl+q to have them join your party
