Konalan Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've just started tinkering with WeiDU and decided to improve upon the Wizard Slayer kit. What I want to do is increase the kit's magic resistance and remove some of the item restrictions. I am also thinking of adding some HLAs. This should better balance the Wizard Slayer and make it a more desireable class. So far I've managed to restrict the WS from dual-classing to mage, upped the MR to 4% every other level, restricted weapon proficiencies to mastery (***). The only thing I'm having trouble with at the moment is item restrictions. I tried setting the restrictions to that of a true-class fighter then sifting through all the items I wanted to restrict. Each of these parts on their own work fine but together only the former works. My tp2 file is shown below. The sections that are commented out correspond to item restrictions. The first two sections were my first attempt while the last is something I tried from the WeiDU readme.

Mike1072 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Here you go. Part of your problem was trying to change the usability flag of Wizard Slayers to Fighters - that's only useful when you want them to share the exact same item restrictions (in order to free up a usability slot for a new custom kit). // Sets Wizard Slayer item usage to vanilla fighter COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP GLOB ~.*\.itm~ ~override~ PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0x71) BEGIN READ_BYTE 0x1f usability2 READ_BYTE 0x2f kit_usability4 PATCH_IF ((usability2 BAND 0b00001000) == 0b00000000) BEGIN // if usable by fighters // make usable by wizard slayers WRITE_BYTE 0x2f (kit_usability4 BAND 0b11111101) END ELSE BEGIN // if unusable by fighters // make unusable by wizard slayers WRITE_BYTE 0x2f (kit_usability4 BOR 0b00000010) END END BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES // Wizard Slayer can't use these items COPY_EXISTING ~Chan20.itm~ ~override~ // ~Boot11.itm~ ~override~ // ~Boot09.itm~ ~override~ // ~Boot12.itm~ ~override~ // ~Amul26.itm~ ~override~ // ~Bow20.itm~ ~override~ // ~Bow21.itm~ ~override~ // ~Bow10.itm~ ~override~ // ~Clck27.itm~ ~override~ // ~Clck25.itm~ ~override~ // ~Clck04.itm~ ~override~ // ~Clck31.itm~ ~override~ // ~Brac16.itm~ ~override~ // ~Brac20.itm~ ~override~ // ~Halb11.itm~ ~override~ // ~Halb10.itm~ ~override~ // ~Halb06.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h60.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h70.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h27.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h31.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h34.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h71.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h36.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h33C.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h33A.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h51.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h33.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h69.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h68.itm~ ~override~ // ~Wa2Dak.itm~ ~override~ // ~Wa2Helm.itm~ ~override~ // ~Hamm11.itm~ ~override~ // ~Helm16.itm~ ~override~ // ~Helm32.itm~ ~override~ // ~Amsoul01.itm~ ~override~ // ~Helm17.itm~ ~override~ // ~Amul17.itm~ ~override~ // ~Amul22.itm~ ~override~ // ~RegisAmu.itm~ ~override~ // ~Amul15.itm~ ~override~ // ~Ring28.itm~ ~override~ // ~Ring03.itm~ ~override~ // ~Ring26.itm~ ~override~ // ~Ring29.itm~ ~override~ // ~Ring20.itm~ ~override~ // ~Ring27.itm~ ~override~ // Ring of Energy ~Ring39.itm~ ~override~ // Ring of Gaxx ~Ring30.itm~ ~override~ // Ring of Human Influence ~Ring42.itm~ ~override~ // ~Ring05.itm~ ~override~ // ~Ring33.itm~ ~override~ // ~Sw1h26.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc5T.itm~ ~override~ // ~Staf15.itm~ ~override~ // ~Staf09.itm~ ~override~ // ~Staf16.itm~ ~override~ // ~Staf17.itm~ ~override~ // ~Slng08.itm~ ~override~ // ~Slng09.itm~ ~override~ // ~Slng06.itm~ ~override~ // ~Rods03.itm~ ~override~ // ~Wand03.itm~ ~override~ // ~Wand08.itm~ ~override~ // ~Wand12.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn23.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn14.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn18.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn21.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn19.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn06.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn22.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn24.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn23.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn27.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn05.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn02.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn28.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn45.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn04.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn29.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn23.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn09.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn03.itm~ ~override~ // ~Wand16.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn30.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn31.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn43.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn10.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn11.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn40.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn33.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn34.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn35.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn37.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn38.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn41.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn46.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn12.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn07.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn44.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn15.itm~ ~override~ // ~Potn16.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3E.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3J.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A1.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A2.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A3.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A4.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A5.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A6.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A7.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A8.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3A9.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3C.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3D.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3H.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3K.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3F.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc7T.itm~ ~override~ // ~Misc3I.itm~ ~override~ // ~Wand99.itm~ ~override~ // PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0x71) BEGIN READ_BYTE 0x2f kit_usability4 // make unusable by wizard slayers WRITE_BYTE 0x2f (kit_usability4 BOR 0b00000010) END BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES Link to comment
Konalan Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Ah, thank you, I'll try that and see what happens. Link to comment
Konalan Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 The code you provided works perfectly. Now I think I'll start tweaking the other kits and add them to this mod. Things I'm thinking of include, HLAs (if I can ever figure out how to get DLTCEP to work), importing IWD spells, and egalitarian classes/kits (all races can be of any class/kit/multi/dual).

Konalan Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 After a month hiatus during which I was playing BG1 for the first time. I've gotten back to work on my mod. A beta version is now available here. The mod alters the wizard slayer kit so that they are more balanced. Below is the new description: ADVANTAGES: - Gains 4% innate Magic Resistance every odd level (1, 3, 5, etc.) - For each successful hit (melee or ranged) on an opponent, a 10% cumulative spell failure is applied - Gains +2 bonus to save vs. spells DISADVANTAGES: - Cannot wear magical items that have spellcasting special abilities unless they protect against magic - Cannot use scrolls, wands, rods or potions (excluding healing and grenade-like potions) unless they are beneficial against spellcasters - Cannot dual-class to Mage - Limited to Mastery (***) in any weapon In addition, I've created a new HLA, Amnesia Strike. Whenever a WS hits a mage, a spell is erased from the mage's memory, starting with the highest level spell memorized. The effect lasts two rounds. There is a bug with this ability in that it drains two spells instead of one. I plan on fixing this soon as well as add a couple more HLA's. Right now I want everyone who's interested, to test this mod and post or PM me with any suggestions or bugs you may find. Enjoy! As a side note to Mike1072: I gave you credit in the readme but I couldn't think of your username off the top of my head (it didn't help that the forums were down either). You are currently reffered to as Mike####. I'll fix that in next release. Link to comment
Kaeloree Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hey, Konalan--feel free to use the SHS Download Manager's Miscellaneous Mods category instead of a free file host. Link to comment
Konalan Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Ugh. I've run into a problem with the last HLA I'm working on. I want to give the WS permanent spell immunity as per the spell. This would be a one-time ability in which the WS may select one (and only one) school of magic to gain immunity from. Problem is, using Spell Immunity as an HLA causes some weird crashes to occur. I did a workaround by effectively making 8 separate HLAs, one for each school of magic. This seems to work except for one thing. Whenever one school is selected, I can't get the other 7 schools to become inactive. I can only get one or two to deactivate. I messed with the HLA 2da file, adding more excluded_by columns. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working. Any advice on how I can get multiple HLAs to deactivate when one is selected? Link to comment
Konalan Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 I couldn't quite figure out how to make spell immunity to work properly as eight separate HLAs. What I ended up doing is making this HLA a separate component with eight subcomponents. It works and I'm happy enough with this to make a second release. I've uploaded version 0.6 (BETA) at Spellhold Studios per Kaeloree's suggestion. The final version will be released when I figure out how to get rid of that accursed wiffle ball effect spell immunity gives. I'll be looking at the BG2 Tweakpack for ideas on that since it has a component to remove the same effect for the cloak of mirroring. Link to comment
