Hey let me first say sorry if this was already fully explained somewhere and I'm just blind and couldn't find it. Ok now to the help part, I saw a couple of different mods which I was hoping to try, only problem is they both replace the same file i.e. the dialogue one. So I thought instead of just deciding on one and saying no to the other I'd try and make them compatible. The thing is I've never done it before. I looked up about the unpacking and repacking stuff but for the actual work I was wondering if simply taking lines from one mod and copy pasting it in the other is all that's needed to work and if not what should I do? again sorry for the noob question and thanks to anyone who reads this.
The only way you can make two dialogue mods 'compatible' is to combine them. Combining them would require you to unpack both xnbs, open them both in Notepad++, and choose ONE of them to edit. You would then need to add/copy dialogue lines from one mod to another. There is a section in this guide about about editing and adding dialogue and explaining the various codes used in dialogue, I suggest you read it if you have never edited or opened a dialogue file before.
