(irst decide which module you want to use. (or this tutorial well +e using a

Wookiee 6ut. You can use whiche4er module you want though i# you4e ne4er

done this +e#ore 8d recommend doing the same as me 9ust to +e sure.

"ight/ #irst we need to extract the #iles we need #or the module.

8m using the module kas7m:a+.

pen ot" Tool and go to "8Ms;Modules.

Then scroll down to #ind the right module. Youll notice each module has two

su+trees/ expand them +oth.

You should see this5

)xpand the $ynamic &rea 8n#o ta+ and youll see the areas .git #ile/ in this case

kas7m:a+.git. Click the )xtract +utton on the right hand side o# the ot" Tool

window and sa4e the #ile as a .git. 8d recommend making a new #older #or the

module.

Now expand the Module 8n#o (ile ta+ and sa4e module.i#o to your new #older.

Then expand *tatic &rea 8n#o and sa4e the .are #ile. 8n my case its kasm7:a+.are.

Now expand 3lueprint/ 2lacea+les and extract kas:a+7cont7,.utp/ then expand

3lueprint/ *ound and extract rndwookanimals.uts.

The other ta+s contain the Characters etc #or the original module which we o#

course dont need.


3/16

&nd since we dont want the module linked to ashyyyk we dont need the door

either.

Now we ha4e all the #iles we need we can start to edit the #iles to make the module

the way we want it.

Well start +y getting rid o# the old Characters. pen -'(( and go to (ile;pen.

pen the kas7m:a+.git #ile you 9ust extracted. Then go to


4/16

8n the (irst Name #iled put what you want the N2Cs name to +e.

0The one that #loats a+o4e their head.1

'i4e them a %ast Name too i# you want +ut 8m lea4ing it as $uros.

Now we need to gi4e our N2C a custom Tag and "es"e# so in the Tag #ield type

what you want the N2Cs tag to +e. 3est to keep it simple so 8ll put my7npc then

click the ad4anced ta+ at the top o# the Creature )ditor and put the same thing in

the Template"es"e# #ield. 8t doesnt ha4r to +e the same +ut 8 like to ha4e them the

same +ecause its easier to remem+er.


5/16

Now click the in4entory +utton.

This will come up5

This is where you can choose the N2Cs items etc.

8 want to gi4e my $uros a


6/16

make the N2C attack you.

nce youre done playing with stats go to the &d4anced ta+ and check the No

2ermanent $eath 3ox. This will make it so that the N2C will return to li#e next

time you enter the module.

&lso change the (action to Neutral.

You should now ha4e something like this5

Now sa4e your character as my7npc.utc or something. 08ts easiest to use the Tag

and "es"e# as the #ilename too1.

Now we need to make a script that will make the N2C attack you. We will attach


7/16

this script to a dialog option later so you can chose whether or not it happens.

(or this next part you can use Notepad or something like that +ut 8 like to use the

Text )ditor in ot" Tool.

*o open ot" Tool and open the text editor +y clicking this icon at the top o# the

window underneath the tool+ar5

The text editor window will look like this5

Copy and paste this into the Text )ditor5

void main()

{

ChangeToStandardFaction(OBJECT_SELF, STANDAD_FACT!ON_"OST!LE_#)$%

*a4e the #ile as attack.nss or something. 0")M)M3)" T6) N** )>T)N*8N

Get DS Points5

void main()

{AdjustAlignment(GetFirstPC(), ALIGNMENT#A'"I#E, **)%

"eplace >>> with the num+er o# $* points you want #rom ,-,.

8# you want to make some o# your own scripts to make things more interesting and

ha4e no scripting a+ility try %ilac *ouls *cript 'enerator.

8t was designed #or NWN +ut should still get you started.

$WN%&$

Now to make the dialog #or our N2C. pen up $%')ditor and go to Mode;ToggleMode5 ot" 8.

Then go to (ile;New/ you should see some +lack writing on the screen saying New

$ialog/ click it and this should show up5

*ince our N2C is an organic +eing we set the Con4ersation Type to 6uman as

item as the N2Cs line1 youll notice a +ox at the +ottom o# the screen that says

*cript That (ires When *poken.

Write the name o# the script you want here 0without the #ilename extension1.

8ll Euickly make a dialog now so you can get the idea o# what it will look like.
