So, I've created a new line in the appearance.2da named My_Test_NPC since it's my first and I need to know how that would translate into a tag and/or resref for a spawning script

The Tag and ResRef aren't related to the Appearance.

Just enter what ever you wish for the Tag and ResRef and then in the Appearance list select your new entry in appearance.2da.

--Stream

do you have a tutorial or a reference I could look at?

I havent seen one but I can tell you how.
Well make your utc how ever you want. Save it and load it in a gff editor. In the gff editor. The first thing is the appearence type. Change the value (number) in it to what the # of the appearence row is and place save it. Load it into game and it should be your new appearence.

Hope this helps!

so how do I make a new utc?

.... I thought you knew that... You edit one from the game to meet what you want. Under Bifs--->Templates--->Charictors


Hope this helps!

Oh I knew that just thought there would be one that started out blank or something
