} |
Why is the number 29? |

Thanks. I understood how to put my effect icon.
---
When you apply this function (NWNXPatch_SetEffectTrueType) again inside the script, does not the script run again?
When you in the NWNXPatch_EffectModifyBAB () function apply EffectHeal with the value of the base attack, where does the change happen that this will not be a treatment, but an attack? I understand that you change only the icon in 70_mod_effect.
Can you write another example, for example, with creating a new effect that lowers characteristics or anything? |

imagine effect as a structure data type
its something like this:
struct effect
{
int TrueType;
int Value0;
int Value1;
etc.
}
Before you apply the effect its just a bunch of values. Only after you apply the effect it is determined whether the effect will heal or do something else.
70_mod_effects runs only when effect was applied or removed not before
I have in plan to write a proper tutorial but right now I am making few changes to effects in plugin so it has to wait.

I don't understand what are you trying to achieve? |
Hijack UI texts in spellbook/shortcuts and texts like "XXX casts YYY" where YYY is name of spell |

but why, you can always make a new spell in spells.2da?

| I know but I'm thinking about some kind of spell creation process without need of modify 2da. I could use few predefined spells with custom impact spell then handle eveything inside script depending on player's vars. But it will be always displayed as Custom Spell 1, etc. Not as "My strongest fireblast" |

Valgav wants to customize the name of the spell. He only wants to change the name in the spellbook, taking information from the local variable for a needed spell. Without editing 2da.
I already asked you about something similar (The visual effect, the school, the radius of influence - everything before the start of the cast spell is taken from the local variable).
A dynamic name for skill or spell is a cool possibility.
ah, magicians would have a paradise with such opportunities ) |

I see. It is possible but would require really lot of code patching in one of the most complicated engine function. That could be a project on its own and I don't think its worth it. For me anyway...

Yeah I though that this is to good to be possible, but there were some ideas in the past: http://www.nwnx.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1925 So maybe one day...  |

Hmm I run into an issue of not ever using resources that require my players to download something.
I think I may give my players a poll again whether to use CEP and we can decide if the nwn client extender is one of those.
From there I'll work on developing a universal spell system and have no problem sharing it with the community.
Sounds like a fun project |

I have a request. Can you make human race abilities to get extra feat and extra skill points usable for custom races? For now it's tied to the line in 2da as far as I know. |
This seems hardcoded inside client.
I will think about how to make that dynamic but there is also a problem with ELC which is very hard to modify to respect this.
