DS2 Mod development

I don't yet have DS1(going to get as soon as I can spare the money) and I was wondering something.

Would it be possible to go to area X, drop off Y number of party members, leave, then have that zone stay clear?

I hope you guys (and gals) can help me with a problem i'm having. I continued on Darxide and Onibi's MonsterTrip mod and made the Skath Hyena like creature playable.

It works great except for the weapons & shields. When I equip weapons like 2h Axes, Swords, Hammers and stuff the grip is all wrong.

Hammers and swords are held in the left hand facing rearward and the swords are held on the crossguard / blade. I cannot find a code specification indicating where i missed something.

Does anybody know how to solve this?

Am I going blind? I could've sworn I saw a guide on how to add skills to the game. I've got it all setup in a gas file, I'm just not sure how to make the gui button to show up on the skill tab :/ heeeeeeeeeeaaaaaalp please

Took the time to finally try out SE2 but I have already run into problems.
I am trying to use the node matcher and can't get it to work without searching through all the nodes. After I select the folder I want to search through for matching nodes, node door is also selected, and hit "match selected" the folder gets unselected and the root is instead selected. I get a warning

If I hit "yes" in the dialog window that appears I also get a bunch of error messages about a bunch of missing sno files. To make matters worse I chose "ignore always" so now I don't see the errors anymore.

Here's a map that looks promising. There is a beta version that can be downloaded if you aren't playing BW right now.

Here are a few of the mods that I've made, each file contains a readme explaining in detail what it does and how to use. Looks like you can only attach one file per post, so I'll attach in replies.

6 Slots

All Chants
