Tweak idea-more dual class combos

[Fallen_Demon]

I remember Grim explaining how more dual class options could be opened up in a fw thread here. Any chance of a tweak? I know some combonations couldn't possibly work right. (sorcerer to mage;same class) but some would probably go smoothly, any chance of a component?

I coded dual-classing of Wild Mages for a version of my tweak pack that I never got around to releasing.

 

APPEND ~dualclas.2da~ ~WILDMAGE                1       1       0       1       0       0~
UNLESS ~WILDMAGE~

APPEND ~abdcdsrq.2da~ ~WILDMAGE                0       0       0       17      0       0~
UNLESS ~WILDMAGE~

APPEND ~abdcscrq.2da~ ~WILDMAGE                0       0       0       15      0       0~
UNLESS ~WILDMAGE~

 

I'm sure that's amazingly interesting to everyone. Um, don't let it stop anyone else doing something similar though.

Apparently the game crashes if you try to levelup after an illegal dual-class or something. I imagine it could suffer some sort of heartattack when it has no idea what GUI to give you at the bottom of the screen for a new dual-class.

Dunno if I tested levelling up with Wild Mages or not.

I don't think it'll be a problem for Wildmages as they are just a kit of Mage so the game should treat it like dualclassing any specialist mage.

 

Its where you make a previously unduallable class (like Paladins) duallable that I imagine problems will arise.

Just did a couple of tests for fun.

 

A barbarian/mage works, although you get "Fighter/Mage" displayed as the main class. A thief/ranger crashes the game, as does a fighter/sorcerer and a mage/monk. So yeh, kits only, it seems.

I did some testing of this too, and yeh, that's what I found. It can only be things which you can multiclass as, with the Barbarian and Wild Mage working I guess as they're kits.

Didn't we have this stuff all figured out years ago? I could've told you the results of your tests without taking the time to do it.

[SimDing0]

I find half the stuff that's been known for years turns out not to be true anyway. Although yeh, it's fairly rare for me to bother doing something when somebody else can do it for me.

I understand the "never assume" part.

However in this case I was one of the ones who did all the testing-to-crash on the new dual combos way back when.

Yeh, I tested it about a year and a bit ago, when I had just started modding.

And this is coded; wild mages and barbarians are now dual-classable. Fixing the barbarian dual-class titles will be easy once we determine how to find them via script with a fixed kit.ids but for now I'm letting them default to Fighter/*.

[SimDing0]

Class(Myself,FIGHTER_ALL) and Kit(Myself,0) will detect a barbarian.

And with that last bit of info, the titles are sorted as well.
