Hmmm... could I even use INTERJECT to have other, non-custom party members comment on my custom NPC joining? i.e. instead of EXTERN, put the INTERJECT or INTERJECT_COPY_TRANS command in the custom NPC's file to have, for instance, Yoshimo and Anomen warn good old <CHARNAME> to be careful?
Yep, thanks... while I'm the one who in the Art of programming is quite a few trees short of a forest, the ones who have mastered it tend to put too many trees in my way
No offense, of course
Strings... heh, apart from sounding like something affiliated with underwear, it's also pretty confusing. But thanks for the help-- I guess I'll just have to TP2 everything.
NI works by reading string references for things such as names. Just leave the name blank for now if you are making a mod. You will assign it later when you are copying across the CRE in the tp2 (at the same time you write the BIO and assign sounds).
Ummmyes, but I cannot change *anything* at all. It's like it is read-only. I've also tried CreatureMaker, which lets me *edit* the things I want (however, for some reason not extract files) and then saves them really garbled up...
