Making a New Game -- Studio Questions

[zilpin2]

I've played with Feudal Lands, but it was never completed, and am interested in what it would take to make an original game using Exult.

1) Does anyone have a good combos.flx for roofs, towers, etc?

2) In Studio, npcs is always blank. I can't figure it out from the manual.
How do you edit existing NPCs, and create new ones?
Also not clear on how eggs spawn guards/monsters/etc.

3) How do you generate the minimap from the game map? Feudal Lands did, i just don't see a tool that does it.

4) Is it even feasible to make an original game using both BG and SI assets, instead of a just a mod of one of them?

Thanks!

2) You need to open Exult, then open ES from Exult; when you go to NPCs, they will show up. For best results, call Exult with --edit and start a new game; another possibility is to start a new game, enter map editing mode, and immediately reload quicksave. Doing either will allow you to keep the starting cutscene intact.

3) Exult does it, when you tell it to.

4) It is, but it is a lot of work. Moreover, you will not be allowed to distribute those assets.
