 In this tutorial we have demonstrated a way to modify the backgrounds used in the game without altering any of the core scripts. It is expected that a similar approach could be taken to modding other aspects of the game such as adding classes or races. In these cases the scripts that were created in this tutorial could be extended to handle other parts of the character generation process such as class and race selection.

		+	In order for characters with different backgrounds to appear in different locations, you must do some additional scripting.
		+
		+	First create a new script titled "xxx_campaign_h" with xxx being your module prefix, or whatever you want to put in front of it. Put the following code in it.
		+
		+	<dascript>
		+	#include "wrappers_h"
		+	#include "utility_h"
		+	#include "log_h"
		+	#include "xxx_syschargen_h" // put here the name of your syschargen_h script you created earlier.
		+
		+	void Campaign_ChargenDone(string sParam1, string sParam2);
		+
		+	void Campaign_ChargenDone(string sParam1, string sParam2)
		+	{
		+	string sArea;
		+	string sWP;
		+	int nEquipIndex; // index into equipment 2da
		+	object oPC = GetHero();
		+
		+	// Disable party picker (re-enabled at end of Prelude)
		+	// SetPartyPickerGUIStatus(PP_GUI_STATUS_NO_USE);
		+	// SetLocalInt(GetModule(), PARTY_PICKER_GUI_ALLOWED_TO_POP_UP, FALSE);
		+	// SetLocalInt(GetModule(), TUTORIAL_ENABLED, 1);
		+
		+	Log_Trace(LOG_CHANNEL_SYSTEMS, "Campaign_ChargenDone", "START, param1: " + sParam1 + ", param2: " + sParam2);
		+
		+
		+	if(sParam1 != "" && sParam2 != "")
		+	{
		+	sArea = sParam1;
		+	sWP = sParam2;
		+	}
		+	else
		+	{
		+	int nRace = GetCreatureRacialType(GetHero()); /* Yes, GetHero is appropriate here */
		+	int nClass = GetCreatureCoreClass(GetHero());
		+	int nBackground = FloatToInt(GetCreatureProperty(GetHero(), PROPERTY_SIMPLE_BACKGROUND));
		+
		+	nEquipIndex = Chargen_GetEquipIndex(nRace,nClass,nBackground);
		+	sArea = GetM2DAString(TABLE_STARTING_EQUIPMENT,"StartArea",nEquipIndex);
		+	sWP = GetM2DAString(TABLE_STARTING_EQUIPMENT,"StartWP",nEquipIndex);
		+	}
		+
		+	UT_DoAreaTransition(sArea, sWP);
		+	}
		+	</dascript>
		+
		+	Now in your module core script, add the following in the switch(nEvent){} part.
		+
		+	<dascript>
		+	case EVENT_TYPE_MODULE_CHARGEN_DONE:
		+	{
		+	Log_Trace(LOG_CHANNEL_SYSTEMS, "EVENT_TYPE_MODULE_CHARGEN_DONE", "START");
		+	string sParam1 = GetEventString(ev, 0);
		+	string sParam2 = GetEventString(ev, 1);
		+
		+	Campaign_ChargenDone(sParam1, sParam2);
		+
		+	break;
		+	}
		+	</dascript>
		+
		+	The module core script will get the area and waypoint assigned to your character from the gda, then send it to the Campaign_ChargenDone function, which in turn will put your character in the right location.
