PST: CRE embedded effects

[Displacer]

Is anything known about the effects embedded in the cre file? I'm at the point where these are processed but I can't find any info on them. Only thing I can say at the moment is they are 0x30 in length.

They should be bogstandard effect structures.

 

IWD or BG2 was the first to use EFFv2.

The listing for effects says its an extended version of the one embedded in creatures, so is there a listing for the one that's embedded in creatures? Or am I reading this wrong.

Maybe the listing thinks these are effv2.

But, effv1 is 0x30 length.

So, it is safe to say, they are 'bog standard' effv1 structures.

Ok, but is there a listing in the IESDP (or elsewhere) for the structure? The only one I see is for effv2, or am I missing something?

He's right, as far as I can tell the pages for CRE files are exclusively pointing there for effects, and there's nothing in sight for v1.

 

Here's a layout for them

0x13 (1 byte) Probability 2

0x14 (8 byte) Unknown

0x1C (4 byte) # dice/Max Level
