Innate ability not showing up in game

[Joe]

Hey, guys. I'm doing a Wizard Slayer remix and I've given the kit Breach as an innate ability, but it's not showing up in game. Perhaps I have named the file incorrectly?

 

Here is the .2da:

 

ABILITY4 GA_TWS **** **** GA_TWS etc.

 

The spell file is tws.spl.

Have you actually turned the spell into an Innate?

You need to change it to innate at offsets 0x1c and %ability_offset%+0x2.

 

There's a "make innate" macro in e.g. Divine Remix you can have a look at, if you wish. It is in Divine remix/lib/macro_spell_to_innate.tpa

 

If you do it with DLTCEP, you need to change Spell Type (under General properties) to Innate and Location (under Extended Effects) to Innate.

Apparently, you also need to change Level (also under General properties) to 1 to avoid certain issues.

[Joe]

Thanks for your reply. The spell was already set to be innate and at level one, but no luck.

 

I suppose I should add that I used Near Infinity to edit the Wizard Slayer's .2da and am simply having WeiDU copy it to the override along with the edited Breach spell file (renamed).

 

I checked out the code. Where am I supposed to plug in the spell name, and can it be a spell from my mod folder?

 

Also, I realized that I do not have a tws.bam. I'm guessing that's a big oops?

 

I don't know any of the coding to add an ability to a kit. After looking at the code and the Divine Remix .tp2, I have a better idea of what I should be doing to make Breach an innate instead of editing the file itself, but how might I code the ability to the Wizard Slayer?

[Joe]

Here is the current code from my .tp2 concerning the abilities:

 

COPY ~Joe/Wizard Slayer Improvements/Clabfi03.2da~

~Joe/Wizard Slayer Improvements/spcl131.spl~

 

INCLUDE ~Joe/macro_spell_to_innate.tph~ // defines patch macro

COPY_EXISTING ~SPWI513.spl~ ~override/tws.spl~ // Breach

LAUNCH_PATCH_MACRO ~spell_to_innate~ // change to innate spell

BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

 

Still not working. The spcl131.spl has always worked fine. Grrr.

1) I started DLTCEP.

2) I added a few GA_TWSs into the clabfi03 and saved it.

3) Then i took Breach and set it from 'wizard' to 'innate' and it's location from 'spell' to 'innate', then saved as tws.spl.

4) Loaded the new game - all of them were in my innate bar.

 

Joe, sorry, but I don't really understand what's going on with your game.

[Joe]

What in the hell. I just did the same thing on a fresh install as you did and it worked.

[Joe]

Weird. I tried it on EasyTutu, and instead of Breach, the WS was given the Bhaalspawn powers you get early in SoA. Even stranger, I'm only allowed to click the special abilities thing once; after I select a power, I can't use it, and then the button goes gray.

[Joe]

Apparently the original files I tried to use were corrupted. All is well now. Thanks for the help, guys.
