Editing dialogue and releasing a mod

W

Wounded Ronin

First time out of the vault
I'm very happy with my progress on the mod I've been working on. It's a very modest and simple one in which I mostly just changed a lot of the weapon stats and pictures but since I'm a first time modder I feel like I've accomplished something on a personal level.

I have just two questions I need to ask the community for help with at this point:
1.) How do I change the dialogue of the NPCs who modify weapons so that they're talking about my "new" weapons instead of the "old" default ones?

2.) After I'm done with my changes to the items and the dialogue, how can I give the mod to other people? What is the best way to "publish" the mod over the internet?


I'd like to take a moment to thank Cubik. Cubik, I have relied so heavily on your Fallout 2 item modifying software and also on Alchemy. Without your help I don't think I'd have been able to do this.

Email it to one of the Admins here (Kharn, Silencer...etc.) who will approve it and upload to downloads section.

You either need to edit the script with new dialogue nodes if you have lots of new dialogue or:

if you are only changing the odd words here and there... extract the relevent .MSG file and edit the dialogue in there.
 
Let's see. Is there some preferred format for submitting a mod to an admin? Should I just send copies of the folders where I made changes?
