Instructions

Use CD music in English version

These steps change the German CD version to use English text. This requires the German CD version (GOG.com has both).
The intro and some minor game text will still be in German.
To have German speech with English subtitles copy only STAR.DAT from the English folder.
NPCs will have 50x their normal XP value when you recruit them, as the English version uses has a multiplier for all XP gained or required. This can be fixed by hex-editing STAR.DAT, but must be done from a save from before the NPC is recruited to prevent excessive stat increases.
