Hooking

[Terra_777]

*Endless gasp*

That aside, I'm looking to hook devcrit. I got some experience with nwnx and c++. I got some knowledge with Ollydbg and can most likely figure out a lot on my own. I assume it would be hooking "critical hit" and simply run a script and check for a fake-devcrit feat and administer saves/consequences within a ingame script instead of the usual fort or death. How hard/possible would it be to add to nwnx_events.dll?

Edit: Thread recycled.

hmm,

I've heard it said before that something like this, may cause lots of lag or sluggishness, because it would be hooking onto the combat message function.

At least, thats what I believe, I may be wrong, I have no experience making plugins per say.

Perhaps Zeb or virusman would have more insight.

It's already in the Linux version of nwnx_events. Not sure about an ETA for the Windows version though... if ever.

[Baaleos]

er... yeah..
what he said. Lol

I guess returning an event on a crit (preferably including the roll) would be sufficient, if that helps.

[Terra_777]

Alright, I've successfully hooked the fortitude roll that occurs upon devcrit (0x54D603). As it works now: devcrit savelessly kills everything without a roll mostly because the hook replaced the roll. How do I formulate the hook to manipulate the conditional jump marked on the picture to work if a certain variable is set to 1?

[Terra_777]

Hah, I totally figured out a solution myself. Where do I send the updated nwnx_event source?

Nice. virusman should probably give you SVN access at this point. PM him with a username/password.

<Fluffy-Kooshy> NWNx plugin is to this as nuclear warheads are to getting rid of fire ants.

<ThriWork> whenever I hear nwn extender, I think what does NWN need a penis extender for?

I hooked the function that determines if the weapon used to score a critical hit is prone for a devastating critical. Bioware default devastating doesnt happen, nwnx returns the item that scored the critical hit and GetAttackTarget() is used to get the target. Which means I've hooked critical hit since the check to determine devastating critical has to be done ingame instead.

Can you (or did you) determine the actual roll?

[Terra_777]

No, I wasn't able to get them. Data I got was the item that was used to whack the target. oPC = OBJECT_SELF, oTarget = GetAttackTarget( oPC ); and oItem = GetNWNXTarget( );.

Alright, I think I'll call it finished for now, get it here. Includes sourcecode, compiled dll, nwscript and ini-snippet.

If I understand correctly this doesn't merely hook dev crit but all criticals?
Which would be awsome for things like burst weapons (elemental damage on criticals).
In any case: Good work!

[Terra_777]

Correct, all criticals will cause the script to fire unless target has immunity to criticals.
