Howdo you create a spell?, Similar to Find Familiar Options

[blackdevil0742]

Hi

Like lots of people I've been playing Badlur's Gate 2 for so long and I still ove it. I've downloaded mods but now I want to do stuff I want in the game. So what I wish is to create a spell similar to the Find Familiar but I want it to summon a Winter Wolf(and make it stay/follow me like the other do). I have NI (didn't find a working link to the other tool) and I've exported some of the files that the Find Familiar(based on the cat) spell uses.

FAMCAT.BAM <cat img
FAMCAT.CRE
SPWI123.SPL <find familiar spell
SPWI123C.BAM <spell icon

Now I have no clue how and what to edit in those files.

I tried though. What I did first was to copy some of the stuff the FAMCAT.CRE into a copy of the winter wolf .CRE file(I think I managed to do it right).

Now how do I get a spell to summon this creature and also how do I export/import the images in the .BAM file?

Yeah thats the bit that is hardcoded! It's based on your alignment:

Copying the creature file and changing it to a Winter Wolf won't destroy the original content. All you need to do to get the original file back is delete your version from the Override directory.

I'll think about adding a winterwolf/blink dog/some kind of dog to the Familiar mod we are working on. See the link in my sig. At the moment all we are considering adding is spider and lim-lim.
