Well that would definitely cause an error :D. Copy the .tp2 of another mod or download WeiDU and get mymod.tp2 from the examples folder. All you really need in the file is:
Code: [Select]
BACKUP ~mymod/backup~
AUTHOR ~whatever~

BEGIN ~My Mod~

//code for what you want to do, such as:
COMPILE ~mymod/dialog/mydialog.d~

COPY ~mymod/cre/mynpc.cre~ ~override~
  SAY NAME1 ~My NPC~
  SAY NAME2 ~My NPC~
//etc.Surely this must be covered in some tutorial... I think Ace has one on NPCs too that is probably more recent.

Ouch. I forgot the .tp2
How do I make a .tp2 file (besides just renaming a blank .txt and renaming it like I did)?

I couldn't find theat on Ghrey's tutorial.

I followed Ghreyfain's instructions and I got this. I've done all of the suggestions but that just keeps happening! What's wrong? What should I do?

I run ZaknafeinTheNPC-setup but I get this: [E:\Infinity Engine\BGII-SoA\ZakTheNPC\ZaknafeinTheNPC-setup.exe] WeiDU version 185.
[ZAKNAFEINTHENPC-SETUP.TP2] PARSE ERROR at line 1 colum 0--1
Near Text: syntax error
... Please help!
The file called 'ZaknafeinTheNPC-setup.exe' needs to be in the primary game folder, so move it into E:\Infinity Engine\BGII-SoA\ and rerun it. It's probably extraction foldering error, so you probably need to also remove the whole ZakTheNPC folder from the middle if it has same folder within itself...

You need to post the contents of your .tp2 file (which should probably be called setup-*.tp2 not *-setup.tp2). It's obviously something basic since it errored on the first line (likely a missing BACKUP, AUTHOR or BEGIN statement, all of which you need for any mod).
