Hi, new here and from Germany...;D

I have two problems:
1. How can I add my own music in my area? I'm searching for a couple of days, but never found a solution. I think I must create a new musiclist and a acm (?!?) file...but especially with the list I have problems, because the interface for creating those is a bit confusing and loading original lists too...

2. I have an altair with a book on (just in the tiles). If someone clicks on the book, a dialog should start...how can I solve this? (I tried it very very often...*hate*;D)

Thx for help!

Sorry for doubleposting...

But a new question brought me "funny" hours of testing:
How do I use the Triggeraction "Dead()" in BGI:TOTSC?
I want to check if my evil NSC is dead and after that set a Global to another value...
I tried to use his long name in "", his short name and his Deathvariable. For testing my mainchar should say a string but never did it...
Um...I added this to my Areascript (where the NSC is permanently located):

IF
  Dead("SIEGFRIED")  // SIEGFRIED
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    DisplayString(Player1,24155)  // ~Seite aus Elfenhaut~
END

Hoping for an answer and no punishment for the doublepost!

You cannot make new music lists in BG1. Instead you have to reference the existing songs via a number. Here is a list of all the songs and their corresponding number: http://iesdp.gibberl...formats/mus.htm

If you need only 1-2 new musics, there are unused slots in bg1, check the list Echon just refered and pick a filename not used. I think festi.mus (slot 6) is one.
In the area file there is a so called song header, edit the night/day/battle slots by putting a 6 (for festi.mus) there.
Then edit festi.mus, check how it is done with the other files.

2. I have an altair with a book on (just in the tiles). If someone clicks on the book, a dialog should start...how can I solve this?

Add a trigger area to the book (or make it a door if you want the book open).
Add a script to this trigger/door which fires the dialog.
Something like this:

IF
Clicked()
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ActionOverride(LastTrigger, Dialog("bookdlg",Myself))
END

bookdlg.dlg is your dialog (your actor will talk to itself).

I don't guarantee this will work, i'm not a scripting guru, especially not for bg1

Yeah, many thanks for the help!

But: What is a trigger region?
I can create Travel/Trap/Inforegions. They aren't Travels, Traps are only fired when "Entered" I think and you can't attach an inforegion a script...?! Or is the Scriptentry in the "Trap"box for inforegions too?

[Yovaneth]

Triggers and traps are the same....this may help explain them.

Yeah, thx for the hint, I've read it through before but didn't got the message (I'm unfortunately not perfect in translating English language;D)

But I released my minimod some days ago...so I found solutions to the problems, even they are not the best...;D
