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?

Actually I can save you a lot of work.

Download my WTPFamiliars spell. This replaces the core game spell with a new one...where you can choose from a selection of 3 familiars rather than just getting one.

Then change one of my creature files to the winterwolf.

Then you can install the mod (making sure you still have the correct alignment), cast the spell and you are good to go.

Explaining the whole process and everything you would need to do both in the cre file and scripting would take longer than i have right now!
