As for the whole "decode sound file via .bat" process, it's also a good idea to pull apart a few for examination. There are oodles of mods out there with these ready for scientific sacrifice.

Awake,
I sent you a PM, but I don't know if it went through. I am on my lil laptop here and it crashes often. Please let me know.
Shed,
I haven't tested much of anything (in game) yet. I am still finding/fixing bugs and fine tuning. Along with going back in and adding some and some sounds. THAT I might need some help on. I will PM you and/or SConrad when I get home.
Won't have my NPC in front of me again 'til thurs. I am away on business and this laptop is older than God.
Never trust a naked Drow!

They say the world is going to Hell.
They are wrong.
The world IS Hell! Always has been, always will be; except perhaps for the five percent or so of the population who can afford differently.
And, if one must reside in Hell, it is far better to do it as a minion of the Devil than as a member of the damned.

SConrad,
I JUST got back and finished looking over my files.
Sound related questions, just one. How do I get Infinity Sound Converter to work?
I installed it, I click on it and (literally) for a Second it goes to a small black DOS screen, then disappears. I am told I need to use it in WeiDU so I tried dragging the whole thing into the weiDU box...and that didn't work out well.
Shed, I'll be in touch, soon. Things are moving nice again now.
Everyone as always , THANKS for all your help!!!

Take a look at Hubelpot. Open the .bat-files with a texteditor, check the relevant section of the .tp2 and look inside the audio-folder.

did you get the dialogue file? i sent it to you, but i tend to forget to put a title on it, and for some reason they don't get there.
do you need the second half done?
what about the sword?

Just an update folks.
I've just gotten back from a long business trip and found that my roomate has been screwing with my mod (with the best of intentions...he's more TECHIE than I am and worked out a few bugs) but now when I play the Beta it seems I have TWO in game avitars at the beginning point.
Is this just a glitch or do I need to edit the file?
He ALSO, in my absence, d/led and installed for play the new Yasreyna (probably misspelled that, I lack coffee, sorry) Drow female mod, and although I havn't played her much yet, what I have seen is she looks/sounds great. - I wanted to add that.
October is coming along.
Question: I have seen announcments here and other places telling of new NPC mods and stuff, and even forums devoted to information and talking about new upcoming NPC's in the works. How do I start one? Just put up a webpage of my own somewhere?

Just wanted to give an update.
After nearly three months, one real life heart attack, numorous fits of banging my head against the keyboard/wall, learning not only mod making but basic BG code as well... "October" is finally just about ready to go!!!
I have a pretty good voice actress now, though the tone of "Tobi" will now be rather Welsh (
Is this good or bad? YOU decide.) And she has about 300 lines of dialog spoken as well as little bits of soundbites with each of the original characters. (Soundfile cutting and splicing took longer than i could ever have imagined.)
I found a product called SMARTWAVC which converts .Wav files into OCG (I might've misspelled that but I can't look just now, y'all know what I mean I am sure. The only thing I am a tad worried about is getting it to RE-form AS a .Wav again once IN the game. Still working on that.
All of her banters are now done, and she is a chatty thing (And a little bit of a S*** Disturber), with the exception of Cernd... Sigh... I never liked that guy and have no idea as to what to say to him. Most of my good material for druids was used by Jaheira. I am finishing her player/banters now and ought to be done this week.
Whislt I have a semi-working Beta (And thanks to Reapper99, Awake, SConrad and Shed especially for programming and such) there is a minor prob with the quest start. I am getting with the person who has been guiding me and doing the hard programming but I thought it best to wait until after the holidays. (I also want to put a list of people who have helped/programmed for me/guided and advised me into the readme release. Is there anyway to encode it seperately also?)
A HUGE thank you to all.
Additonal dialog and banters for Chloe and Kelsey are finished and awaiting okay by the creators of those Mods
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DO A FINAL PROOF/CORRECTION POINTER OUT before I do the last edit... Anyone with some time to read???
"Tobi" is banter heavy...
Hey, I need to find out about hosting.. A place to put her once I get her done so that all of y'all can try her out. Do I just contact the DL sites and get account space? I know I don't really want to put up my own page (It's taken me months to get THIS semi-correct...)
She is near

What do you mean by encode? Do you mean package, in which case you can leave the readme .txt or .html in your mod install folder and open it on install with WeiDU.
