Just like the title says.... wat do you need to make NPC's for BG2 and how do u do it??

<font color="gold">Hmm, dont think you can make NPCs, actually. I am atleast not aware of any such program.
But who knows, there is so many MODs and editors out there now, so maybe you can find something.</font>


see ya!

There must b a way of doing it bcause there was a thread not that long ago that was about a fella making NPC's with romances... so there must b a way..... actually I think I'll bmp that thread right now...

Of course there is a way. You need a creature making program....I'd go for Near Infinity which can edit anything. Make the creature files for different levels of the NPC. You need to make a dialog file(s) for them using Infinity Dialog Utility. Items for them using IEEP. They need to be added to the Baldur.gam file using the NPC adder in IEEP. Then of course you need to make an AI script for them for when they are not in the party, but you can copy an existing one for that. You might choose to add the proper references to the NPCLEVEL.2DA file if you want the game to automatically select the correct level of your NPC to match to the player's level. Then if you want the game to control the dialog for the NPC as in when to activate certain sections of speech, you need to add the necessary references to dialog files in the PDIALOG.2DA file.
Hmm there is a more detailed NPC making tutorial on www.teambg.com where you can also get the tools I mentioned.

<font color="gold">Wow, that's a long time. I've had the game since last summer, bought when I got a new PC, and I started editing in october or something, so I guess you have a lot more experience then me. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

Heh I couldn't rest until I knew how to do everything, know that feeling? I first made a kit then I tried items then spells. Then some creatures. Then I started a bit of scripting. Then I made some dialogues. Then I tried editing projectiles and VVCs. Finally when some good tools came out, I got into area creation and editing which is the most time consuming. When I learnt all that I thought I should start my own MOD which is what I;m working on now. ;)
