simple question really- i'm just too lazy to look it up

how do i set the parameters for a *.STO files using WeiDU?
the "SAY NAME" command is used for adding the store's name, right?
how do i use WeiDU to indicate that a specific *.STO is an inn, a shop, or a temple?

thanks

As usual for any file format that WeiDU doesn't have specific support for, pull it up in Near Infinity and read the offsets.

i DID use Near Infinity to edit the *.STO files i included in my MOD. BUT, as soon as these files are installed via *.TP2 and setup-mymod.EXE files, they lose their identifier (inn, temple, etc.), crashing the game whenever entering the new or edited stores. (i made this discovery upon opening the *.STO files with Near Infinity AFTER the setup-mymod.EXE file installed my MOD)

i tried manually copying the .sto files onto the override directory, and the files worked fine. so, i started thinking that WeiDU had this parameter-setting capacity and i wrote you the note above.

here is how part of the *.TP2 file looks like:

COPY ~vault/sto/friend.sto~ ~override/friend.sto~
