Setting #charges

[Demivrgvs]

I've changed some in game items from X charges to once a day...problem is that when i find the item it has X charges even if it correctly recharge one charge after resting. And if i add a new ability with charges when the item is found the new ability has no charges before resting. What have i to do to set the #charges so that they're diplayed correctly before resting?

Set the actual (current) item charges too.

[Demivrgvs]

Where am i supposed to do so? I'm using NI to edit the item and i can only see one row about #charges...

You need to edit the ARE or CRE where the item is referenced. The current charges are stored there.

For editind .cre i've no problem but editing .are without overwriting is beyond my knowledge. Is there a simple code to do that #charge editing?

 

Thanx!

[Demivrgvs]

Is it possible to make something like this...

 

COPY_EXISTING ~ribald.sto~ ~override/ribald.sto~

ADD_STORE_ITEM ~myitem~ #20 #0 #0 #1 #5

 

...but referring to items that may lay in containers? What i need is something like:

 

COPY ~Item_rev\itm\AMUL15.ITM~ ~override\AMUL15.ITM~ #20 #0 #0

 

Just to edit the #charges the item will have when you find it.

There isn't a top level WeiDU command for this. Something like the following:

 

COPY_EXISTING ~AREANAME.are~ ~override~ // pick the correct area :)
 PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0x11b) THEN BEGIN
READ_LONG  0x78 "io" // offset to list of items
FOR (READ_SHORT 0x76 "ic"; "ic" > 0x00; "ic" -= 0x01) BEGIN
  READ_ASCII ("io" + ("ic" * 0x14) - 0x14) ~in~ // item name
  PATCH_IF (~%in%~ STRING_EQUAL_CASE ~NAMEOFTHEITEMTOMODIFY~) THEN BEGIN
	WRITE_SHORT ("io" + ("ic" * 0x14) - 0x0a) 0x00 // charges first header
	WRITE_SHORT ("io" + ("ic" * 0x14) - 0x08) 0x00 // charges second header
	WRITE_SHORT ("io" + ("ic" * 0x14) - 0x06) 0x00 // charges third header
	SET "ic" = 0x00
  END
END
 END
BUT_ONLY

 

where you pick the area name, the item to modify, and some non-zero number of charges

[Demivrgvs]

THANX!

 

WRITE_SHORT ("io" + ("ic" * 0x14) - 0x0a) 0x00

 

Those are the numer of charges? For example 0x02 would mean 2 charges?

Yes.

Note that in the code sample the charge count is being set in hex.
