NWNX Weapons

[Terra_777]

Well no. Its NWNX cool! But it can override several otherwise hardcoded features. So how does it work? It works by reading local-ints off various objects (mostly items) to overrides number of attacks, unarmed base attack, weapon focus feats etc. It can also spawn a console window printing what nwn is printing. Random can also be overiden to use another algorithm to determine random numbers (dicerolls included).

Latest 1.1: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=225463&id=1537

For a more updated list of features look into nwnx_cool and inc_cool scripts for function defs and examples.


NWNX localdata modifiers examples:

//The weapon when wielded in the mainhand will have 100 attacks
SetLocalInt( oWeapon, "mainattks", 100 );

//The weapon when wielded in the offhand will have 100 attacks
SetLocalInt( oWeapon, "offhdnatt", 100 );

//The weapon will respect weapon finesse
SetLocalInt( oWeapon, "finesse", TRUE );

//The weapon will look for feat 10 as its epic weapon focus feat
SetLocalInt( oWeapon, "ewf", 10 );

//The weapon will look for feat 10 as its weapon focus feat
SetLocalInt( oWeapon, "wf", 10 );

//The weapon will look for feat 10 as its weapon specialization feat
SetLocalInt( oWeapon, "ws", 10 );

SetLocalInt( oCreature, "AB", -10 );

//Creature will not trigger attack of oppertunity
SetLocalInt( oCreature, "NOAOO", TRUE );

//Creature is allowed to level up to level ##

//2da data might be missing for levels higher then 40 for baseclasses
//If you level PCs higher then 40 you need to use GetSetServerMaxLevel()
//Otherwise pcs higher then the cap can't login
SetLocalInt( oCreature, "levelup", ## );

//If this is true timingbar events will end upon moving (including custom onces)

inisettings:

WriteToLogFile=### ;(When this number is higher then 0 the plugin will create a console window and hook nwn's log function. 1=nwn's logs is printed to the console window, 2=only the nwscript command will be printed to the console window, 3= all data is printed to the console including the plugins logs very spammy, 4=only the plugin's logdata is printed to the console)

Rand=1/0 ;(When 1 nwn's random functions are hooked and replaced by a frame based random system. Initial frame=unixtimestamp/2. Every random call advances the frame+1. The frame is then used to compute a seed for rand unixtime+frame. At initialization the function fills a buffer with random bytes from rand. Random numbers is returned to nwn though casting random sizes of data from the generated buffer which moves the cursor though the buffer. When the buffer hits its re-buffered with new bytes and the cursor is set back to 0.)

TogglePauseState=1/0 ;(when 1 pause is hooked and runs nwnx_cool.nss)

weapon_hook=1/0 ;(when 1 the plugin will hook the feat functions which enables use of the local-ints: local-int reference. This will completely override ubab and weapon finesse)

GetCasterLevel=1/0 ;(When set to 1 functions reguarding casterlevels are hooked and overriden by a localint)

CastSpell=1/0 ;(Adds a script event to castspell)

ItemCastSpell=1/0 ;(Adds a scriptevent to item-uses)

Polymorph=1/0 ;(Adds a script event to polymorph)

UnPolymorph=1/0 ;(same as above)

UseSkill=1/0 ;(script event)

UseFeat=1/0 ;(script event)

ToggleMode=1/0 ;(same as above)

DevCrit=1/0 ;(Hooks critical/devcrit properly, if nwnx_events is present that hook needs to be disabled)

SpecialAttack=1/0 ;(Hooks into the special attack routine (knockdown, disarm, smite, etc) and runs a script even when the attack is actually occuring)

SetPVPPlayerLikesMe=1/0 ;(Hooks the player attitude change to fire a script when one occurs)

RemoveCombatInvisibility=1/0 ;(Hooks the combat function that removes invisibility effects to fire a script. NOTE: This one fires alot)

RandomBuffer=#### ;(The number of random (including dice) calls that will be rolled before the plugin re-seeds) Default is 100.

AC=1/0 ;(When 1 it enables the AC local data to be used)

AB=1/0 ;(When 1 it enables the AC local data to be used)

ConsoleOnly=1/0 ;(When set to 1 the plugin will only print data to the console and not the logfile)

AttackOfOpportunit=2/1/0 ;(When set 1 or higher the NOAOO int is enabled. If 2 or higher AOOs are completely disabled)

CanLevelUp=1/0 ;(Enables/Disables the "levelup" localint)

nwnx_cool v0.2

Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4OM3W58

I havent tested all of this but feel free to post in this thread if you find a problem.

*changed the "ubab" localint to just check for a boolean value instead of checking for monk-levels.

Example:

[Terra_777]

NWNX Cool 0.3

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SFE1JWAK

*Fixed a crash that occurred when passing 0 instead of object_invalid back to the game at unarmed devcrit

*Special attack shouldnt run wtihout valid combat data

*Tweaked script functions for the event script and added functionality to fetch combatdata. GetCurrentCombatData should work for normal onhit effect aswell.

[ShaDoOoW]

small request: would be IsTwoHand possible? I mean like a variable on weapon.

This is neat to know.

Some questions:
Is it specifically possible to override the dev crit event within the plugin rather than use a script override?

For stuff in the combat data if we just set these values via the CNWSCombatAttackData pointer will it override the stock engine values?

[Baaleos]

Hey Terra,
It looks like you have worked hard on this, and made a very neat and tidy nwnx_events alternative.

Some events that might be useful to hook:

Player Hostility Changes - Hook this to set whether players can or cannot change their own PVP Attitudes.

Pause - This ones easy to do.



Also - this is kinda a separate request - but since the name of this plugin is nwnx_cool, and I think this would be 'cool' I shall request it.

In the linux plugins, there is a plugin called nwnx_hak.
It allows the PW Host to 'Hide' hak's from the hak list that is sent to players.


This essentially allows the host to hide specific hak's from a player on Login, which would allow them to bypass the 'You are missing this hak' message.

The result would be Players without CEP2.3 being able to get into a CEP2.3 server.
Granted, they would crash if they tried to view CEP2.3 tilesets - but that becomes the job of the server host to police.

An extra use of the plugin, would be to allow for UNLIMITED server side hak's to be used, without requiring the player to possess identically named haks.


I was wondering if you might be up for trying to convert it to WIN32?

Pretty Please?

http://www.nwnx.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1786&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

It seems to be a little buggy in its initial release - maybe you can improve upon the concept?

[ShaDoOoW]

Another request: would be possible to set a variable to increase attack bonus or damage with weapon in order to not be subject to +20cap?

I would like to create a new greater weapon focus and greater weapon specialization feats for fighter as well as fix the broken weapon focus: trident. The damage feature would also allow me to provide bonus with power attack when character uses two hand weapon in better way than current EffectDamageIncrease which has cap of 20 damage so I have to apply this effect multiple times .

good work so far, sh

Hooking pause is already done, just need to add a script event to it. Player attitude shouldn't be a problem at all though that one is harder to test because I'm only one person.

Weapon-size, Damage and AB can probably be done with local-ints much like the way I've already done with the other attack things.

Reguarding the trident I think forcing the game to use the correct feats with the local-data above would fix that.

I had a version of events that did the pvp hooking.

http://www.nwnx.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1615


But alas- It still delivered the pvp change message/and toggle button message.


I bet you could hook it more efficiently than I did.

Its possible that the pvp hook I had, is what was causing my instability issues.

So far - I havent had any crashes resulting from your plugin - which is always a good sign.

So once again - It seems like an improvement on the old Events Plugin - Maybe you should enquire as to whether it can be added to the nwnx svn - like funcs was.

[Terra_777]

Sure! I can hook that. I'm also working on trying to solve the combat engine so we can construct our own combat feats. Alá Greater improved critical, Unfettered Defense, Insightful Strike etc.

Also regarding pause I can hook it but I'm not sure how to get the creature doing it. Anyone know where I can find the object toggling pause?

Some things I'd love to know about the combat engine:
1. What determines how many spell actions per round are fired? Can this be altered easily? (e.g. allowing a PC to "dual wield" two wands and as a result fire two wands/round rather than just the usual one item)

2. Is it possible to add additional combat modes that currently don't exist? Where's the data kept about what each combat mode toggle actually does?

3. Favored enemy bonus. We know there's a CalculateFavoredEnemyBonus function, but it seems to hook very strangely.

4. Parry actions per round. How are these handled and what happens when we increase them?
