I am honestly confounded by this.

[Icendoan]

Ok, thanks.

 

If I added another row to RNDTREAS.2da, and created an item called RNDTREA6.itm and gave it to someone would they drop an item from my new row?

The IESDP says rndtreas.2da supports up to 9 rows. Might want to test it though.

 

Edit: Also, I thought BGT added more rows but on my BGT/BWP install I still only see 5. You might want to put a check in your code to make sure there aren't more than 8 rows already.

[Icendoan]

How would one do that exactly?

 

Icen

[Miloch]

COUNT_2DA_ROWS 20 rw //counts all rows having at least 20 columns
ACTION_IF rw < 9 THEN BEGIN
 APPEND ~rndtreas.2da~ yada yada yada
END ELSE BEGIN
 PRINT ~Wtf kind of mod do you have installed that would max out rndtreas.2da?~
END

Given that the column count is always going to be the same for this table, you can get away with APPENDing entire rows. You might want to get more sophisticated based on how many rows are there (see for example how I handle tooltip.2da in Thrown Hammers), but I wouldn't worry too much about it since it doesn't look like too many mods are messing with this (yet).

[Icendoan]

Haha!

 

Thanks one hell of a lot!

 

Right.

 

Last question! (Until I encounter further problems)

 

ADD_SPELL.

 

If I use the WeiDU line;

ADD_SPELL ~IcensMod/Spells/CQ#6hea.spl~ 1 5 ~CQ#PASS_VITAE~

it will parse and install, but in-game, I cannot get it into my spellbook, whatever method I try.

 

I am playing a sorcerer and it doesn't appear in the levelup screen, nor in my spellbook if I use the Console to add it.

 

It is added to Spells.IDS though.

 

Any thoughts?

It won't show up unless you use the standard prefixes (spwi for wizard, sppr for priest, spin for innate). Or if you do something really funky with tables like Divine Remix. Also if you use ADD_SPELL you won't know what it ends up as, so you might be better off just COPYing it. There an old thread of mine on that (luckily I had it in a bookmark, 'cause no way G3's corroding database would've found it).

[Icendoan]

Ah, OK.

 

Do you mean for the .spl or the IDS entry? Do I have to put WIZARD_* for the IDS entry?

 

Thanks yet again.

 

I found that thread via searching for ADD_SPELL.

 

Icen

[Miloch]

No, I think the IDS entry can be anything. However, you are using type 1 which I believe is priest - type 0 might be wizard.

[Icendoan]

Just checked that. Type 2 is Wizard.

 

How could I be THAT stupid? (Rhetorical question!)

[Icendoan]

Is there a maximum for Variables in-game (I mean, other than 65536)?

 

I checked the IESDP but the variables section seems to be dead.

 

Icen

[Icendoan]

Bump! And (yet another) question!

 

THIS HAS BEEN SORTED!

 

Icen

[Miloch]

Hmm? So you answered it?

 

The variables link is there btw, it's just not linked properly as I mentioned here (not that it answers your question though).

[Icendoan]

It was me and my inability to do things right first time even after checking the readme, this time with PATCH_IFs because of some nasty patching trouble.

 

Icen

[Icendoan]

Right.

 

How do you use Macros?

 

I have got LAUNCH_ACTION_MACRO, but I am unsure on how to use it and the readme isn't making much sense.

 

For the inbuilt macro, ADD_ITEM_EFFECT, it strings a whole ton of SETs, without any other sort of clue. Pretty much figured it out. I would, say, to add a damage header to anything, it would be

SET %opcode% 12

 

Icen

[Icendoan]

Yeah, and it installs OK now.

 

Everybody me OK?
