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?

In the tp2 just search for entries with *cat* and update with your own descriptions, sounds etc etc.

Change the cre file with the cat in the name to use you Winter Wolf animation, give your wolf a wolf portrait and stick your portrait in the override...

So long as you make the changes in the tp2 that I mentioned you won't need to do anything else.

Keep the filename the same to avoid having to do other changes, it won't make any difference either way.

The important things are the creature file, the descriptions in the tp2 and the portrait.

You will find the tra references (@1, @2 etc) in the files in the English directory, in the mod folder.

If you want your Winter Wolf sounds, copy the filenames from a winter wolf and assign them to the [sound] code in the tp2, make sense?
