Adding a PC or a NPC
There is a script named createCharacter.py in dgsh/scripts/ : you can cutomize it to create a character.
I have started using jython for creating the files, because I don't have to compile those scripts. It should be easy for you to figure out how to customize and run these scripts too.
Once you have customized this script, run it with :
./jython.sh scripts/createCharacter.py
or
jython scripts\createCharacter.py
Your character will be saved in character_name.xml at the point where you ran the script. You can move this new file in the folder named 'pty' and the next time you will run dgsh, the character will appear in your party.
If your newly created character is a opposing NPC, do not put it in the 'pty' folder : put it somewhere else (perhaps) scn.
You will be able to load during the game session with dgsh> load my_evil_folder/my_villain.xml
