Multiclassing Kits?

Grand_Dracolich · January 23, 2007

Are there any mods that let you pick kits when you multiclass for BG2? I've always wanted to play as a hellion/mage (hellsword :rant: ). I looked all through the mod list.

Yes, there is.. I've actually jsut completed a mod doing just that.. "The Bladesinger Kit"..

You cannot directly assign a kit to multiclass character, as you do with other classes.. It is ony available to gnomes to multiclass as Illusionists/something..

The trick is to add a single-class kit. Might be fighter or thief, doesn't matter much.. at in his CLAB-file, add an ability at 1st level (my file doing that is the "srba_ab.spl"). This file calls a script ("srbsingr.bcs") that contains this code:

IF
Global("multypart1a","LOCALS",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
	ChangeClass(Myself,FIGHTER_MAGE)
	SetGlobal("multypart1a","LOCALS",1)
END

This changes you class from, in my case, a Fighter(Bladesinger) into a Fighter(Bladesinger)/Mage. All his assinged abilities, from the CLAB, is locked to the Fighter Class, so is you want him having bonuses to spellcsating, he will have to gain them through his fighter class..

Please note, that you probably can't get his kits kit description to show in game.. I can't seem to do that..

Feel free to look in my files..

Was this clear? I don't know how much you know about modding.. so it might be a little too technical..

The TDD kit changes the name of the kit so you might want to take another look at those files again.

Yes, on the inventory and the record screen the name is showing as "Bladesinger/Mage", but your kit description is that of a Fighter/Mage..

It might be, that the use of AddKit() after ChangeClass() will add the description too, but I don't know for sure.. I'll have to figure out what to put in the AddKit()-function.. You wouldn't know, by chance?

EDIT: In TDDsinTDD they this script, in stead of my much simpler:

As you can see they're using AddKit(16417), but I can't figure out how they've found that number..

ronin69hof · January 24, 2007

I think that the 16417 is the StringRef. You could try to use AddKit(BladeSinger) like they do in the TDD (not TDDsinTDD) baf file and see if that works.

Darn, I was hoping there was a mod out there that lets you pick a multiclass, then pick a kit for each class. It would be SOOOO cool.

And don't worry, while I have absolutely no modding experience, I can understand the general idea of what those codes (I don't know the general terms) do. It's remarkably similar to trigger making in Starcraft.

Nythrun · January 24, 2007

AddKit(somenumber) takes the kit's number out of kit.ids.

You only get one :rant:

St_Vitruvius · January 24, 2007

You mean the internal name for my kit? That might work..

AddKit(somenumber) takes the kit's number out of kit.ids.

I figured that.. What I don't understand is how they can be sure of their kit being installed with that number..

@Grand_Dracolich: You'd probably have to have an npc asking you at the beginning of the game what kit you wanted to play and then make him change you into that.. Or if you're wanting to use a kit allready in the game: Use ShadowKeeper to modify your save-game..

ronin69hof · January 24, 2007

AddKit(BladeSinger) works because TDD uses it and I have never had a problem with the correct kit name appearing anywhere. Assuming that AddKit is in the .tp2 before the .baf is compiled.

@Grand_Dracolich: sorry for hijacking your thread, if someone wants to move this to a more appropriate place please do.

Shadowkeeper also allows you to assign a kit to a character. Only one though, but they work ingame perfectly well. I have a dwarven beserker/cleric instead of a fighter/cleric.

It does work.. But the kit description in-game is still missing.. I guess it's some kind of hardcode..

yes, Draco, sorry for stealing it..

Grand_Dracolich · January 25, 2007

Where can I get Shadowkeeper (stupid question, I know)?

Thanks, but can someone walk me though how to make a hellion/mage? Thanks!

Is it possible via scripting to make an elf or a dwarf into a paladin, sort of like the demipaladin from the Complete Paladin's Handbook?
