You have to specify what should be added to these files. Have a look at the NPC tutorial to see which stands for what. For my NPC mod, this looks like this:
 "C#Ajantis" is the death variable of the NPC, the others are the dialogues that should be assigned. The greeting dialogue is assigned directly in the cre file.
Code: [Select]
APPEND ~pdialog.2da~
~C#Ajantis C#AjanP C#AjanJ C#AjanD C#Aja25P C#Aja25J C#Aja25D C#Ajan25~
UNLESS ~C#Ajantis~

APPEND ~interdia.2da~
~C#Ajantis C#AjanB      C#Aja25B~
UNLESS ~C#Ajantis~

Wait a minute, I think you don't even have one of these dialogues?

Hm, stupid question but a very important one: How is the NPC created in the game? I assume that happens via the area script that gets assigned in the tp2. Did you check the name with a new game, not an old save (that is more important than it might seem - talking with own experience..)?

You'll have to give us some more information in order to figure out what the problem is.

Can you please post the contents of the script files and tp2 files? In [ codebox ] [ / codebox ] tags would be good. Also, don't use Creature Maker; you can use ShadowKeeper, but then get DLTCEP (link) and use that instead--along with/alternatively you could use Near Infinity (link.

I'm trying to make an NPC mod (Avuail is the character name.)

I've read a few of the NPC MOD Walkthroughs but what they have told me to do hasn't worked. I don't know if it is me or what.

I tried using NI to edit the character to creature but it doesn't help much. I've tried using CreatureMaker and ShadowKeeper. I can get the NPC in the game but 1.) It does not have a name, 2.) Its circle is green instead of neutral, 3.) It approaches my character and gives it a leaving speech I didn't even program.

Help, please.
