So should i move this createcreature code from my NPCs override script to area baf or is there other solution to my problem?

This is my code for initial meeting notice the commented out condition that i used for testing even after commeting this condition out &(reinstalling the mod) the NPC has nothing to say.

This is on Linux and i have tolowered everything.

My NPC is appearing successfully in game but when i talk to it the ingame it responds: Revan "has nothing to say to you." Yet i can see NPCs dialogue in Near Infinity.

I have grepped my entire unpacked modding/games folder and nobody is using this function. How is this thing supposed to be used?

I had look at original game files and they do delete journal entries by specifying string reference number which i for obvious reasons i do not have. How do mods delete journal entries? Should i just add entries to user journal? and let users to delete entries?

Anybody knows source for bg looking portraits?

Right mod is installing now without warnings. I still have Journal entries to add and Inparty prattle.

I do have few custom spell that would be used ONLY by NPCs against CHARNAME do i need to install them via the projectile method? What is minimal amount of coding to achieve this can you post some examples? Currently if i just want to copy spells into override Checking for required files ... Copying and patching 1 file ...

Including BEGIN right?

So how do you do dialogue of four different NPCs in one file?

This would be the code of four separate files Mr. Jmerry BEGIN rq3temo1 IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 1 SAY ~These two surely could have used to cooling down in jail.~ IF ~~ THEN EXTERN ~rq3temm1~ 2 END BEGIN rq3temm1 IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 2 SAY ~Could you ask this good for nothing flea bitten excuse for merchant to leave this place. I and High priest came to understanding that only i will have the right to be merchant near the temple.~ IF ~~ THEN EXTERN ~rq3temm2~ 3 END BEGIN rq3temm2 IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 3 SAY ~And where is parchment or document of some kind to prove this? Hmm??? why don't you show me your supposed right on paper?~ IF ~~ THEN EXTERN ~rq3temo2~ 4 END BEGIN rq3temo2 IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 4 SAY ~Alright you and me lets go!~ IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("rq3AmbushBattle","GLOBAL",1) ActionOverride("rq3temm1",EscapeArea()) ActionOverride("rq3temm2",EscapeArea()) ActionOverride("rq3temob1",EscapeArea()) ActionOverride("rq3temon1",EscapeArea())~ EXIT END

If you would notice Mr. Jmerry i postfixed every label with number in order of an appearance in the dialogue. IF ~~ THEN BEGIN rq3tempamb1 IF ~~ THEN BEGIN rq3tempamb2
