La Couronne de Cuivre

Are you going to Myth Drannor:
Warrior, Mage, Shield dwarf and Thief.
Find the tomb of the late Coronal
He was once ruled the Elven land.

Pray to Corellon he has found peace:
Warrior, Mage, Shield dwarf and Thief.
Without a guide you all will be lost
Death will find you in your beds.

Acquire a ranger to show you the land:
Warrior, Mage, Shield dwarf and Thief.
Between the towers the Windsong is played,
Then you'll know you be in Myth Drannor.

Not everything can be done through modding, even with WeiDU. A "hardcoded" limitation is something that can not be modified without rewriting the program itself.

• You cannot make a mod that allows more then six people in a party.
• Monk/Sorcerer, Barbarian/Bard (etc) Multi and Dual classes.
• Item usability flags for custom kits.
• Animation slots number and their numerical IDs. (This one is not hardcoded in PS:T and can be easily modded).
• Number of entries in SONGLIST.2DA (100 physical rows).
• Hierarchy of random treasure 2DAs and their usability.
• Fixed musiclist.2da.
• Visual Range.
• Spellbook size.
• Number of displayed kits. ("Having more than 9 kits per class in the GUI" would perhaps more accurately be "having more than 9 kits per class per race in the GUI" (since it's perfectly possible to have f.ex 9 fighter kits for humans, and 9 completely different fighter kits for elves).)
• Turn undead/bardsong/thieving buttons.
• Having more than 24 HLAs in the GUI.
• Having more than 9 kits per class in the GUI.
• Changing the count of chapters.
• Foot circles are also hardcoded to specific animations.
• Original walking speed is also there.
• Changing the buttons to fit your needs, like a ranger using thief skills etc.
• The maximum size of TIS files is 60x80 tiles (though it is safer to use 59x79 as the max size)
• The maximum size of inventory BAMs is 64x64 (it gets all off place if it is bigger)
• The number of spell display icons in the GUI for a Sorcerer to learn
• The number of spells a Sorcerer can learn in his spell book
• The max number of attack per round is 10
• The max number of stat is 25
• The max number of reputation is 20
