I used the file to make a npc, and followed it to the letter. I have the .cre file, the .d file, the TP2 file and the .baf file. However, i get this message whenever i run Weidu (named setup-mymod) to run the TP2 file (also named setup-mymod)
The .D file is attached at the bottom.

[C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\Setup-MyMod.exe] WeiDU version 155
{Setup-NPCKit.exe} Queried (pid = 80) version = 155 query done.

[SETUP-MYMOD.TP2] LEXER ERROR at line 1 column 0--1
Near Text: -
invalid character [-] (It looked like a squared off u, at the top of tthe space)

[SETUP-MYMOD.TP2] ERROR at line 1 column 0--1
Near Text: -
Parsing.Parse_error
ERROR: parsing [SETUP-MYMOD.TP2]: Parsing.Parse_error
ERROR: problem parsing TP file [SETUP-MYMOD.TP2]: Parsing.Parse_error

ERROR: Parsing.Parse_error

Press ENTER to exit.



This is the coding in the TP2 file:

BACKUP ~BobTheNPC\backup~
AUTHOR Icelandismine
BEGIN ~Bob the NPC for BG2:ToB~

COPY ~BobTheNPC\J#Bob.cre~ ~override\J#Bob.cre~
SAY NAME1 ~Bob~
SAY NAME2 ~Bob~
SAY SELECT_COMMON4 ~Blah blah blah.~ [Bob1]
SAY SELECT_COMMON5 ~Give the word.~ [Bob2]
SAY SELECT_COMMON6 ~Point the way.~ [Bob3]
SAY SELECT_ACTION1 ~I'm on the job.~ [Bob4]
SAY SELECT_ACTION2 ~As you wish.~ [Bob5]

COMPILE ~BobTheNPC\J#Bob.d~

COMPILE ~BobTheNPC\J#Bob.baf~

EXTEND_BOTTOM ~Ar1000.bcs~ ~BobTheNPC\j#ar1000.baf~

APPEND ~pdialog.2da~
~J#Bob J#BobP J#BobJ J#BobD J#BobP J#Bob25J
J#Bob25D J#Bob25~
UNLESS ~J#Bob~



All help is appreciated!

One note that you may already know: You don't need to use the J# prefix. In fact, you probably shouldn't, because it's what Ghreyfain uses.

Did you save the file as a normal .txt document, no formatting?

You need to put tildes around the AUTHOR statement:

AUTHOR ~Icelandismine~

The rest looks ok, at a glance. Though I'd follow nereina's advice and use something other than J#. There's a list of prefixes people use stickied somewhere at TeamBG.

BTW, nice nick and avatar.

Found out the problem. MS Word formatted the files by itself, and messed it up. Wrote it out again in Notepad, and it worked. Just having trouble with this last bit of code. If i delete this, the NPC installs fine, but i have to use the console to create him.
This is the last part of the .D file:

BEGIN J#AR1000.baf

IF ~Global("J#BobExists","AR1000",0)~
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("J#BobExists","AR1000",1)
CreateCreature("J#Bob",[1137.2046],3)
END

BTW Thanks oft the help!

Never use Word to create Weidu files. Use Wordpad, Notepad, or preferably a text editor like ConText, and always save in text format.

I actually do use Word to write files out first and have the advantage of spellcheck etc, and then paste in Context and save in D format. It works fine, as long as the encoding/font aren't weird.

I did that once and it totally screwed me up. I really like ConText because I can keep the dialogue and variables separate. But to each her own .
