HISTORICAL V398 REFERENCE NOTE (superseded by V399_NO_AUTOMATIC_FILE_RESPAWN_README.txt)
This note originally described the V398 base package. The current cleaned archive
retains the live V398 code and reference UI assets, but does not contain a folder
named FROZEN_BACKUP_DO_NOT_EDIT. Do not rely on the historical claim below that
such a folder is embedded. The original uploaded V398 ZIP has not been changed.

V398 ACCOUNT SETUP — V337 FROZEN-REFERENCE BASE

Launcher: All Editors/SETUP_IN_GAME_ACCOUNTS.bat (original file name, setup version V398)

This package is a SAFE SEPARATE WORKING COPY of the supplied V337 frozen backup.
The original supplied backup is embedded unmodified in FROZEN_BACKUP_DO_NOT_EDIT.

CURRENT VERIFIED V337 BEHAVIOR (LABEL RENAMED TO V398):
- Account creation stores data in characters/<accountname>.
- Account folders keep their original spelling; names are unique ignoring case.
- The existing 5-letter + 2-digit native character aliases remain.
- The native BG2 importer/exporter requires a flat characters/ directory. The V337 code still uses temporary account-restricted copies in that root.
- This release DOES NOT claim to implement native direct subfolder IO without those copies. Engine-level path redirection/EEex hook remains to be developed and game-tested.
- No account, CHR, BIO, save, or game files have been modified in your Windows installation by producing this ZIP.

Do not run a setup installer on a game with newer UI changes until it passes its compatibility checks. Close BG2 before any install.
Do not run recovery / cleanup helpers unless you explicitly intend to change the files they target.

NO NEW AUTOMATIC SAVES OR BACKUPS ARE INTRODUCED IN THIS WORKING COPY.
