Caps

[Baaleos]

Would it be possible to remove caps all togehter?

I was just thinking that a dynamic spawn system, would be even more effective, if it could go beyond a static point.

Eg - You could have goblins spawning with Ability Bonuses, to help them match even level 40 players.

At the minute, since I only have +30 bonus enabled,
my dynamic spawn system can only add a max of 30 to any stat,
But being able to go over that limit, at will, would be really useful.

@Disco: I believe an outdated version is in SVN, but I'll update that. I also need to package these as releases more often. The charlist hooks, for example, are almost definitely ready for release.

Regarding .ini settings, setting any of the values to 0 or just leaving them out will disable that fix/hook, which is a quirk of the way we check the .ini options.

@Baaleos: I'm hesitant to go that far, because I think all three values have a rollover risk around 127. Haven't tested, but I know the character sheet at least can get funky at that point. Setting the values to 255 should work in practice, though. Don't go any higher, because fixes will only use the lowest byte -- need to make it check that and handle it gracefully.

Without source code, no; even then, it would probably be much more than a one-line change.

Even if you managed to change everywhere in the server that it's assumed to be a 1-byte value (effectively impossible in itself), the client would still be expecting one.

Ported to Linux nwnx_fixes. I haven't had a chance to test them, because my school gets unhappy when you NAT things, so I can't connect to my test VMs from home. If I didn't typo anything, though, it should all work.

Max,

What version? I've got 1.0.5, but it doesn't appear to be working on my Linux box.

So...I can grab the fixes plugin, add the includes to scripts and, theoretically speaking, create a True Strike script that supports HGLL levels and lets me give a real AB bonus of +30 that isn't a bogus number in the character sheet but a REAL +30 bonus that the engine uses correctly?

Dunno bout applying an ab or ac bonus which is over 20 but the total ac and ab bonuses applied to your character will be allowed to exceed 20. Eg skin properties, plus other items and spell effects can now exceed 20

[maddogfargo]

What does this do?: cap_atkbonus_inc = 40

I'm wondering if it is the attack bonus for the character/engine or an item property...?

Maximum total attack bonus increase for PCs (probably also applies to any creature).

That's how it's intended to work. I haven't heard otherwise from my testing or from people using it.

Fantastic! I'm pleased beyond words that you guys did this for Windows. I knew NWNxAlt on Linux could handle this, but that would have been a lengthy conversion/virtualization project for me. To have the same functionality for both platforms is priceless!

Thanks!!!

To use these features one would simply install the plugin provided in this thread, the new fixes plugin, rather than the original plugin?
