You mean what the npc's say? All the text speeches are located in string.tbl, expansionstring.tbl and perhaps patchstring.tbl as well. quote: Originally posted by TB55555: And is there and way that I can create totally new quests?
You can't add new quests, but you can do some slight modifications in the existing ones. ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc

Two things:1) Changing what the NPCs say in those entries in the .tbl files won't change the audio...so if you don't want to see and hear two different things, you'll need to turn the volume to zero...I think the options menu allows you to just turn off speech...but I cannot recall. 2) For NPC "scrolling text" speech in the .tbl files, you must always leave a blank return after the last line of text. If there isn't an empty line after the end of the text...you will end up with huge problems in your mod. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

It is possible to make new quests. Like for example, you can make an npc say "go to this cave, kill this boss and he should drop a certain magic item. Then combine it with this item and you will get something else" for example. But... you just won't get the fancy quest log entries, unless you're prepared to do a lot of graphics and probably some DLL editing... good luck  ------------------ Give me fuel, give me fire, give me all that I desire
