BGEE Android - NPC Project

Hey all, I'm just wondering if there's anywhere I could download a Android compatible version of NPC project?

In 2019 I had followed guidance on how to do this myself but looking back now and being on a new phone I wondered if maybe someone had setup this mod for android and hosted it somewhere?

I'm also on Android 11. Will that be a problem for BGEE to run mods or is it 12 onwards that has issues?

Thanks

    Modding the mobile versions of the game is complicated, because it's so much harder to get at the files and run non-approved software on those platforms. And almost all serious mods for these games are programs (in a specialized language) that are installed by running them; the program creates altered versions of the needed game resources.

    So what do people do? They set up a system on a desktop OS to install the mods, then package the altered files in a form that the mobile system can use. Transfer that package over, and you have a modded game on your mobile platform.
    There's a thread about the process on Android here. It also serves as a place where people can request modfiles to be made for them - after all, since the mod installation to build the file is done on a different system, you don't have to do that part yourself.

    Thank you for replying. It's been a long time since I went through the process myself to get NPC project working on my old phone.

    After some digging I did find Gusinda's thread which already had this specific mod and more bundled up.

    I followed his instructions including renaming the vanilla dialog files and everything is working great.
