hey aaron, let the kid say his piece, plus, I don't mind if he's a necromancer on a subject such as this one as it will probably be a place for me to dump my stuff when I'm sick of it.
and in responce to your question, simple, I merely used the late NPC RP V0.6 as a base, and then made my alterations to the data inside the char folder after backing it up.
and regarding your weapons mod, check out the first post, but be warned, it doesn't have the ultimate weapon as red XIII.
(also, I will not be continuing any work on dante66's final fantasy stories mod where you play from the flashback when cloud leaves to join soldier.
and then when you pass a area, the event of the respective character happens:
EG: cosmo canyon, seto fights against the gi tribe, corel, barret allows mako reactors to be built and then up to the point where the gun arm is strapped on, etc.)
and regarding the zack/sephiroth data ready to put inside the char/battle lgp, that will only be uploaded if at least 7 people express interest to it. I'm keeping track, and not enough showed interest so far.
