Little Help for a Little New Modder

limalama45

Hey

I am in the process of making my first NPC mod that starts in BGEE and goes through into BG2EE (always wanted to do it and finally decided to sit down and start it). I am following a few guides that are really helpful! But I have become a little stuck!

I have made my NPC and he joins the party all fine (bar a few changes that I need to make) no problem and all works as a NPC. Now I want a romance to happen so I have started writing this and done the first dialogue with the script to test if it works. However it seems the first talk triggers, as he will walk towards CHARNAME put no dialogue comes up.

I wondered if someone could take a look at my dialogue and script file for it to see what I am doing wrong?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

If he's moving to initiate dialogue but not actually saying anything, chances are the dialogue file hasn't been compiled. Check and/or post your tp2.

Thank you! Yes I didn't put the compile bit in the tp2! Silly me! All working now
