    Changing Welcome message and server select background

    Hi there!
    I've been browsing, and I was curious how I would be able to change the message on the character screen that goes something like
    "You are a level 10 Mage exploring Elderine, have fun playing Odin.

    Also, how do I change the background on the server select screen? That seems kinda difficult..

    Thanks!

    TextData/TextData2.shn, and a folder inside your client for the bg's etc. Don't have a server installed so can't tell you the exact name, cba to think about it atm.

    To change the background in server select, it's in resmenu/account the nif is called LoginBackground.nif. Either edit it or find a premade one you like and use it.

    Any reason why when I change the text all the text in the game messes up?

    Don't use v3d to edit TextData. Use v1, v2 or v3f.

    Oh, thanks. Does this apply for anything else? Or just those files?

    Hey! I am trying to change my npcdialougdata.shn
    I'm using v3f and when I save, it basically deletes a bunch of the rows.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    I've also tried using v3d and it's giving me the same outcome.

    Okay that works now.
    But for whatever reason the NPC's in roumen that sell the suits/mounts/skins/houses/etc won't show their text.
    All of the other ones do though.
    The only things I changed were npc.txt and npcdialougdata.shn

    The npcdialog has those in there. If its not saved correctly then your npc's will screw up. I'd suggest you using the original odin npcdialog and editing it in shn viewer v.1.

    I did. The only thing that changed was the "Premium" merchants. For whatever reason their ID's changed. I just changed them back, not sure why but I'm pretty sure it's fine.
