I sent this as a PM, but then I thought that maybe other people would be interested, too. So here are some instructions to smoooth the path.


-Download the plugin and decompress it.

-Cut/paste the InCharacter.dll file into your toolset plugin folder. It is probably something like:

C:\Program Files\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\NWN2Toolset\Plugins

Not to be confused with where your user data are stored, which is probably something like:

C:\Users\Username\Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2

-Open the toolset.

-Create or open a module to edit your .bic in.

-If you have not used plugins before, click View--->Options



-A window will open that will have a number of options. The one you want is under "Security". There is a little "plugins" menu. Change the menu so that it says "Load all Plugins"



-Almost there now! Click OK to save your selection and close the window. Then open the Plugin menu. InCharacter should be there. Click it, and you will get the option to import or export a .bic.



-Click import, browse to the directory where your .bic file is located, and import the PC. I would probably click the "Strip Items" option, by the way.

-Your PC is now an NPC, which you can edit as you would any other NPC. You can add wings, a tail, VFX, inventory items, alter stats, et cetera. You can change the appearance to any in game appearance this way, like a dragon or balor.

-When you are done, click on InCharacter to export the NPC as a .bic.

Done!

Hope this helps.

Thanks, But all I found which looks promising there is the Bic Shower it won't let me edit my character so he/she can get a tail or something.

The bic file stores information based on values in the 2da files. Go to:

C:\Program Files.....\Neverwinter Nights 2\Data\2da

to find the different 2da files, which can be opened directly in notepad or excel. For example, in tail.2da you will find the numeric values for the different tails. Input the appropriate number into the tail setting in the .bic editor.

I see, Thanks for the reply though I need a .bic editor which seems impossible to find :S

I would greatly appreciate if someone could link a .bic editor who works with NWN 2 ( Leto won't :S )

is what I use for working with 2da files, but it works with bic files as well.

Here's the bioware version:
