Help With Spawning!

[HodgePodge]

Okay guys, I have embarked on a quest for a new mod, but I have a question that needs answering first. For my mod, I need a Twi'lek to spawn in the middle dormitory on the Enclave on Dantooine (after Belaya confronts you, go straight across the courtyard to the hallway that takes a turn to the left, and it's the second door on the left. Here's the script I'm using to spawn him, any help appreciated:

 

void main()
{
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "c_rec_officer", Location(Vector(52.15,69.01,8.76), 0.0)); 
}

 

I'm sure my mistake is horrendously obvious, but I'm a script noob xD

Use the .git file. Ahh, I love that file.

 

Open the .git file, go to Creatures, copy a full struct, and paste it. Go down to the bottom of the Creatures list, and you will see your copied struct. Now fill that in with the (I think) ResRef, or the tag of your NPC, and the co-ordinates. Fiddle around with the orientation, as thats the way it will be facing when spawned.

 

Now package that into a MOD... or ERF file using KOTOR Tool, and put it in your Modules folder. Go to a save or start a new game and warp to Dantooine.

Erm...sorry for being stupid but...which .git file?

If you still have questions, post away. I'll be here... all day.

Does it matter what I name the newly created MOD/ERF file?

[DarthJebus05]

Yes it does. It needs to be of the module name.

 

Find the entire list of module names here: http://www.starwarsknights.com/k1modules.txt

Hmm...I use the ERF builder to create the .erf file, i drop in the .git file, press build, it says done, but I can't find it. Any idea where the KT ERF Editor drops the ERF files?

[DarthJebus05]

My Computer>C: Drive>Program Files>Kotor Tool>Global Templates>K2

 

And yes, it LOOKS like a movie file, but it's a ERF file.

 

Remember when building the ERF file, to do: "<modulenamegoeshere>.erf" as well as choosing for the file to be ERF.

 

As I've only built .MOD files, the above sentences my not be entirely true.

[HodgePodge]

Umm...not sure if you realized this, but this is for K1 xD

 

So would it just be in Global Templates>K1?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, it still dropped it in K2.

 

Hail the Jebus!

[DarthJebus05]

Don't ask me why, but it does that. Sorry, was going to mention it, but forgot. If you have any other troubles, feel free to PM me.

[HodgePodge]

RAWR! Now the Enclave is devoid of life...

 

Gonna try it again after school tomorrow.

[DarthJebus05]

Okay, like I said, I've never built a ERF file, so do it this way.

 

Extract everything from "danm13" and "danm13_s" from KOTOR Tool into a folder. Make sure you have a backup of the altered .git file. Then put your UTC, and that .git file (and what other files you made) into the folder where you extracted everything. Then build all that into a MOD file using this name:

 

danm13.mod

 

Make sure you put the .mod after the "danm13"!!

 

Then go back to the K2 folder and place the new .mod file into the Modules folder.

[HodgePodge]

Thanks Jebus!

 

It works now

It seems a bit over the top to make an erf/mod file when you can just name it the onenter script name and then add the line "ExecuteScript "old_onenter" or whatever. That way the game will run it and anything else it needs to and you don't have to worry about including a file that has to go in another folder.

 

However, there's something to be said for "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."
