 |
|
i was wondering if there is a function in nwnx to allow a designer to specify favored enemy feats so the engine will take them into account for new races. something similar to how the SetWeaponImprovedCriticalFeat() works for weapons.
i notice there was some discussion for hooking favored enemy in the windows forum -- did anything come of this ?
if there's nothing currently available, what would be the chances of getting it added ? *beg* *beg* |

Most development these days seems to go on in forks. Some public, some private.
I don't believe that there is such a function available. It wouldn't be hard to make one tho, especially if you were willing to roll up sleeves and modify the code to suit your servers needs rather than have a nice NWScript interface. And so building your own plugins, etc.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but favored enemy is just a class feat, and you can add them to races through 2da's (and hak files of course). I think you can add feats to a character other ways also, but if there is no hak for it and ELC is on, you can end up an illegal character.
Or, you can add a feat as an effect as i did sometimes, which is works well also if you script it (readding effect after rest/death etc). |

I took him to mean that he has custom races and FE feats for which he'd like to get the Favored Enemy bonuses. Probably could do some scripty stuff to workaround it, but the actual stuff is hardcoded.

this is exactly it, yes.
i'm certainly willing to roll up my sleeves, but i'm pretty sure i don't have the expertise. i've taken a look at the source in the 'functions' subdir, but w/o knowledge of where the engine's data structures for FE are hooked [i'm assuming there's a table someplace], i won't get very far.
yes, i've considered neverscripting some work-arounds, but ideally i'd like the engine to handle this as it does for std races, otherwise i'll be bumping up against the bonus caps at the very least. |

Well I'll help you get things going... Here is a template you can use https://gist.github.com/jd28/2f4000ae4ad8ea0c0824. You fill all that in you are a hairbreadth from done.
Which plugins are you using? This would be easiest to add weapons or defenses probably.
