Discussion: BG2 Kit Creation Series

[Grim Squeaker]

I took a screenshot of the error, but how do I post that and the .tp2 file? I looked in the forum 'help' and it said there would be a browse button, but I can't find one. Is it enabled in this topic?

I'm pretty sure non-moderators can't attach files to posts. You'll have to host it somewhere else and then link to it.

[Andyr]

As for the .tp2, just copy-paste the text from the file itself. Use [ code ] and [ / code ] tags (without the spaces there) if you want.

[Nickop]

Ok, I'll type what's in the screenshot (I have some questions about it, i'll put them between //'s):

Onto the .tp2 then. You want the whole file. OK then:

That's it then. Thanks for the previous help, and I hope you can help with this aswell.

[Grim Squeaker]

C! is used for some of Divine Remix, because it's Cam's prefix. He uses it on all his work.

[Nickop]

I'll change the prefix then. I think i'll use N!. Unless that's already taken.

 

Cheers.

[NiGHTMARE]

This thread is the place to view and reserve prefixes (yes everyone, BWL seems to be up again!).

[Andyr]

The error might be because you want to specify override/A#feral.2DA and not just override/A#feral.

[Nickop]

NiGHTMARE, I checked out the prefix link, but the tables just say 'I am sorry but this table contains no rows.' I tried using Internet Explorer and Firefox, but neither showed anything.

 

Edit:Prefix database works properly again now, I'm registered as N_.

 

Andyr, I'll try that and see what happens. Does that mean the rest of my file is OK then?

 

Edit:

 

It works fine now. Now all I have to do is sort out the abilities, alignment and HLA table.

Also, i'm going to try and make some spindle disks, using a sling with unlimited ammo but very short range.

 

Would it be possible for me to make every spell take one round to cast, because Chosen of Deneirs cast using the song of Deneir. Perhaps if I make a 'Book of Universal Harmony' item that can be equipped which has that ability?

 

Anyway, thank you everyone for your help, I wouldn't have got this far without you.

Looks fine to me, yeah. If you have the Feralan installed then you should find your kit gets the abilities of the Feralan applied to him.

[Seifer]

One for you lot to ponder over. What's the most effective manner of limiting a kit to only one attack per round. I'm already limiting weapon specs to one star a piece but would like to be doubly sure.

[NiGHTMARE]

Add a spell in the CLAB which has a Attacks Per Round Modifier (stat #1); set the type to 1 (flat value modifier) and the key to 1 (1 attack per round).

[Seifer]

That's what I thought but best to be sure.

 

Cheers Nick

[Nickop]

A couple more questions:

 

1)Would it be possible to make my kit cast all spells at the same speed (1 round for each).

 

2)At the moment my kit has no spells even in the spellbook. Do I have to assign them, or is it because I have Divine Remix installed?

[Seifer]

1) I imagine you'd have to set each spell to the speed you'd like. You can probably take a canvas approach to this via weidu.

 

2) Is your new kit a mage/bard kit?

If the kit is a cleric, druid, paladin or ranger, then yes. If it's a wizard or bard, no .
