okay .. I want to add a merchant to Manaan .. do I need to extract the module and everything in it , add the merchant and his script and dialogue and then wrap this up as a module or can I just add it as an override by putting the new files in the override directory with a modified .git ?
you can just add it as an override by putting the new files in the override directory with a modified .git
You could use a script to "spawn" your merchant in the module. It should work. I did that with doors and other placeables instead of modifying the original .git file (I added computers and an elevator on Taris). Simply attach the script to a .dlg file.
Darth333's suggestion would probably be the best solution.
I find that dropping the .git file in the override folder is useful to make quick tests but it may cause some bugs such as triggers that don't trigger at the right moment, doors that do not open, etc... (even with a module which is accessed for the first time :confused: )
Thanks for the info everyone.
I will drop it in for testing and then put it into a seperate module when I'm done.

I'm telling you, putting the merchant in-game with a script would be much better

indeed. a new module for a merchant is kind of overkill
