ok, thanks.

Just don't forget to update CP releases on vault, pleese

I tried to make some work on combat modes such as power attack.

There are at least two issues:

1) nwn client calculates the AB in character sheet independently on server, so even if you modify power attack to -3AB, client will show -5. This can be solved with NWNCX but those not using it will see incorrect AB.

2) if I remove the hardcoded bonuses of modes from engine and softcode them in nwscript then the bonuses are visible in effect list and character sheet. (To avoid that I would need to be able to make new effect functions like SetEffectVisible - which I so far didn't manage to do.)

So I am probably not going to release this.

Is it possible functions, to determine that the item fits in the space of inventory or not? before (or after) copying this item or creating new.

Managed to do it, it will work like this:

int NWNXPatch_CheckItemFitsInventory(oPC,oItem)


as far as other requests:

Fixing SetGender won't be possible, unlike NWN2 NWN1 client doesn't update gender ever even if the gender update is sent by client. You will have to boot the player to refresh the gender. Are you using this on NPCs? For what purpose? Anyway, maybe it can get working on NPCs, try send the npc into DM area and jump him back, if this won't work try set gender when he enters dm area then jump him back, last idea is to sent him into limbo (which my plugin cannot do so far but nwnx_funcs I think can).

Combat modes are no go due to the client issues - I recommend to rework combat modes the way PRC did it, ie. remove original combat modes feats and replace them with new ones who will work as a "toggle". The only difference is that the new feat won't be seen "on" on client as combat modes are...

NWNCX_Patch and NWNX_Patch v1.24

DOWNLOAD - contains updated include files and updated softcoded scripts

Fixes:
- added missing skill timer into pickpocket skill softcoded script
- fixed the feedback on scroll learning which was printing incorrect text instead of name of the spell learned
- fixed rare crash issue with custom spell functions (AddKnownSpell etc.)
- removed the forgotten modifications on power attack mode from client which essentially made the combat mode do nothing

New features:
- improved function SetCustomToken to be able to set system tokens 0-9, very usefull for sending player texts with <CUSTOM0>
- improved function GetEffectType to be able to recognize taunt, knockdown and new custom effects
- softcoded taunt skill
- pickpocket skill softcode is now using new functions to better duplicate feedback messages
- disarm softcode is now using EffectDisarm to duplicate vanilla behavior

New custom functions:
int NWNXPatch_CheckItemFitsInventory(object oCreature, object oItem);
effect NWNXPatch_SetEffectTrueType(effect eEffect, int nTrueType);
effect NWNXPatch_SetEffectSpellId(effect eEffect, int nSpellId);
effect NWNXPatch_SetEffectCreator(effect eEffect, object oCreator);
effect NWNXPatch_SetEffectCasterLevel(effect eEffect, int nCasterLevel);
effect NWNXPatch_SetEffectInteger(effect eEffect, int nTh, int nValue);
void NWNXPatch_SetEffectIntegerVoid(object oCreature, int nEffectPosition, int nTh, int nValue);
int NWNXPatch_GetEffectInteger(effect eEffect, int nTh);
int NWNXPatch_GetEffectPosition(object oObject, effect eEffect);
effect NWNXPatch_EffectAttackIncreaseUncapped(int nBonus);
effect NWNXPatch_EffectModifyBAB(int nBaseAttackBonus);

+

int SkillTimerCurrent(object oCreature, int nSkill);
void SkillTimerInitialize(object oCreature, int nSkill);
void SkillTimerReduce(object oCreature, int nSkill);

Which are custom NWScript functions added into 70_inc_main needed for softcoded skill scripts.

Notes:

I finally found a way how to modify effects and make new custom effects. Currently featuring EffectModifyBAB (which will allow you to make true PnP Divine Might without ugly workarounds - using ModifyBaseAttackBonus function had several drawbacks like dispelling...), EffectAttackIncreaseUncapped which will ignore +20 cap and a way how to change your effect into any vanilla effect you like like taunt or bonus feat.

However, all the functions except NWNXPatch_SetEffectIntegerVoid works only on effects declared in NWScript and needs to be applied on creature to get them to work. Ie. you cannot change and already existing effect on creature into something else.

The NWNXPatch_SetEffectIntegerVoid is exception for testing purposes. I don't actually think this function can do anything because of the way how effect works. I tried it on EffectAbilityIncrease and it didn't change the values, I mean it did internally, but the effects on PC didn't change. You can try it maybe it will work on something but I doubt it. If no usage will be found I will remove this function in next release.

Also, I obviously didn't make a research which effect uses which integers and what they mean. Thats something you need to do yourself. I made the function as much general as possible also to avoid too many identifier problem in toolset script editor which would creating extra function for each effect type definitely trigger. Check 70_s2_taunt for example how to use them.

That would be all, let me know if you need some effect function that I didn't add.
