1. STARTARE.2DA
2. You cannot start with 0 XP due to some troubles. (1 XP is good)

CODE

COPY_EXISTING ~bgmain.exe~ ~bgmain.exe~
    WRITE_LONG 0x6b7258 0x00000001

3. You can do it directly in TP2 and its strref place to file (bcs, itm, spl) (SAY)
4. yes - look for acm2wav.exe and place it to NI folder (http://www.teamx.ru/rus/files/utils/index.shtml).

Maybe I was before too brief

1. You can set starting area in files startare.2da. Row START_AREA is area file where SoA starts, START_XPOS and START_YPOS are exact coordinates of Player1 location in this area.

2. This is simple WeiDU code which set starting XP to 1 XP ~ first level. You have to patch exe at this offset.

3. You can add string many ways. If you want to create new item you can use in WeiDU something like that

CODE

COPY ~mymod/myitem.itm~ ~override~
    SAY IDENTIFIED_DESC ~This is item stolen from Ao~

You should read http://www.weidu.org/WeiDU/README-WeiDU.html (mainly TP2 creating) - you will learn what you can do with game.

STARTARE.2da specifies what is the start location and the coordinations determines the position of the screen in the area.

Startlevel can be set via overwriting the value of starting XPs stored in bgmain.exe. However, there can be some problems because there are different versions of bgmain files.

CODE

size of exe offset
7381038     0x64f8b0
7385134     0x6508b8
7417902     0x658970
7831598     0x6b5258
7839790     0x6b7258
7843886     0x6b6270

I'd recommend to use xppatcher application by Avenger to set your starting XPs.

For strings, check weidu readme on weidu.org first...
Quite wide topic for general say - tell what strings do you need to add and more detailed explanation can be given...
