Greetings.

Well, as the name suggests, I'm in need of assistance in what concerns the adding of spell descriptions for BG2-TOB.

I am making a new Fighter Kit after my own tastes. I created most of the "spells" and HLA's (yes, this kit will have its own HLA's) however, there are obviously some things I haven't figured out yet.

Namely, when creating the installer package for the kit, WHERE am I supposed to put the various HLA descriptions, must they be individual files for each spell or do I have to put ALL of the strings somehow into the tp2 or some other file? And how do I subsequently add them to the Dialog.tlk and how do I tell the tlk which spell to link it to?

Before you ask, YES I visited the Site's Tutorial Section and NO I didn't find anything about how exactly to add a string to dialog.tlk and make it so it is set as the description to a specific .spl file.

Maybe I should mention that I'm using the resources of a working Megamod just in case.

If the answer is of the painfully obvious generation( which I'm thinking it might) please exqueeze me

Yeah, but it should still be moved.

Thanks Illithian! It had slipped my mind....

P.S. Lol, no matter how many forums I register to, I always manage to post topics in the wrong sections.
