I'm trying to have my custom items into the game WITH the items description. At this time i usually make the item via NI and edit the description. Work fine. Then for whatever reason i need to uninstalle BG2 again thus i will lose all the descritions i made. At that point a re-edit the description in the game again via NI. This is a tedious work. So i thought long and hard about and decided that i'd better start using WeiDu to have a program that makes the changes for my with a simple install function.
My main problem is that i need to see an expamle of how to start and and finish something. When someone writes "You do this, you do that and then that" doest work for me.
I'v asked Japeth for advise and he sent me an example.tp2 for an item description tp2 file .
So far I got this:

I have INSIDE my MAIN Bg2 folder a dir called "shodan" and a dir called "backup"
I have my 2 custom items IN the *shodan* and *backup* folder.
Is this the correct way of doing it?
If I add a 3rd item to the tp2 file do i do it this way?:

My first priority will be the writing of this tp2 file. If i can get this to write like it should, then i'll continue further on. Step by Step.
My ultimate goal would be to create a small *mod* with *some* quests. If i can get that to work, i'll run naked through my hometown
