It's been 10 years (and a day) since TSLRCM's first public release.

I saw a shop called "rcm". Not far away from it, there was building with big "EP" letters on top of it... you can imagine my reaction. And yes, I've got pictures, somebody remind me to upload them sometime.

Rather sucky run of TOR...

Tomorrow.

Didn't log in for a few days; 27 unread private messages. o_O

Vacations? Good idea. I'll be back when I run out of money!

Good modding weekend is good.

I'm glad I'm back too! But yeah, I really needed to rest - fortunately two weeks vacation were enough, so I'm back ready to do whatever needs to be done

What would you want in such a video?

I always thought using patcher exe to configure it all was pretty selfexplenatory - just type in the file name and where to install it. 2da files were a bit more complicated, but with some trials it can be pulled off.

But for you, I might consider making such video when I get some time (you might need to wait until Saturday, though).

Ah, I see. Yes, manuals can be confusing, though to be honest I never read one for tslpatcher, just started using it

Analyzing changes.ini file is still the best way to learn everything about the patcher. But lets see how the video turns out. Whenever I get to do it, that is.

If I make tutorial, it'll show how to configure patcher using configure exe file that comes with program, not editing changes.ini.

I might remake it, and make one focusing on changes.ini editing later, if people show some interest.

OK, some of this stuff you mentioned might indeed be confusing - to be honest I have no idea how to merge dlg files with patcher. I know it's probably similar to how journal entries works, but anyway.

And now that you mention .nss files, I recall that the patcher can compile scripts into .ncs during installation, but I find it the most useless function the patcher has. Putting already compiled ncs file into patcher is way simpler and has exactly same effect (that's what I always do). I might as well mention it in my video-tutorial, whenever I make it.

1.8GB? Downloading this thing sounds like a loot of fun!

I always add already edited dlg file into patcher and let it install into override. Just make sure patcher is set to replace instead of simple install, so it will overwrite the file in case it's already there.

Not sure I understand your second question, though...

Looks kinda similar to "ready only" issue. Switch off "read only" in the properties of folder/file you're installing new files too.

BTW I know I was supposed to get tutorial, like, a week ago, but I kinda didn't get around to it. I WILL make it though, one day.

Oh yeah, it's not readonly issue, the error is totally different. I should have read it instead of just "looking" at it for a second

Anyway, it's been some time, I'm writing from memory now, without checking any actual changes.ini file, but it should be pretty much correct...

First, add your utc file under GFF list, like:

[GFFList]

File1=npc.utc (remember to put this file into tslpachdata folder!)

Then under appearance.2da line for the new utc, there should be something like this:

2DAMEMORY1=RowLabel (or 2DAMEMORY2, 2DAMEMORY3 etc if you need to use it more than once).

Then somewhere later in changes.ini, add:

[npc.utc]

!Destination=Modules\modulename.mod (remember to install modulename.mod into MODULES folder FIRST! meaning, make module files list UPPER in the installer)

Appearance_Type=2DAMEMORY1

It should pretty much edit and install what you need, I think I've given you even more detailed instruction than you needed... anyway, hope that helps.

I'm not aware of any limits... it doesn't mean there aren't any though.

Would you PM me contents of your changes.ini (parts related to this npc, anyway)? It would be kind of easier if I could see it.

Look for program called Inno Setup. It's pretty easy to use - just read few examples in help files.

No problem, if you've got anymore questions just say. Looking forward to ROR ; )

Yeah it works, I used it once. You'll just need to add more conditional for every species and write proper code to add items, or do whatever you need.

He's called n_ls44drd.utc in my (M4-78EP's) 801DRO.mod, but I don't think you can find him anywhere in BIF files if that's what you're looking for.

I'll see what I can do, though it's possible I won't be able to do it until tomorrow.

I have them

Hey;

Not sure what happened, can't download it either. Could you re-submit the file?

Kreia is neither Sith nor Jedi, but she uses the dark side... and light side, whatever is useful at a point.

Is that an agreement? I don't know

8, I think.
