Copying Personalities

[sppeterson]

Is there a way to copy and paste a personality?

I'd like to be able to create, say, one eveil orc cleric, then paste a copy and just modify it a little to create higher level evil orc clerics.

If you are not scared of copying and pasting xml this is easy to do. If this makes you a little nevious then make a copy of dm.xml first. Also you don't want to do this while FG2 is running.

You just open the dm.xml file for the campaign and copy the id node of the creature you want to copy. The pesonality will start with <id-xxxxx> and end with </id-xxxxx> (xxxxx is a unquie number).

You want to paste the id in just above the tag: </npc> and below the closing tag of the last NPC (/id-xxxxx). Look at the Id number of the node just above the </npc> tag to get the highest id number so far. The id-xxxxx numbers must be unique so you need to advance the number for each copy you make of the personality. Don't forget to do the id at the top of the node and the bottom of the node.
