COPY ~NeJ2/spl/SPWI527.SPL~ ~override/SPWI527.SPL~

SAY NAME1 ~Xan's Eye Bite~

SAY NAME2 ~Xan's Eye Bite~

SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC ~Xan's Eye Bite (Enchantment/Charm)...~

Thanks, it looks promising because what I have noticed that ALL original spells have the offset 0x54:

7f 96 98 00

Then in my opinion it cannot be "the IDed description offset is 0x54 (also 4 bytes)". If I use DESC than it is really written into 0x54 (4 bytes).

[EDIT] Also there are only a few values appearing at offsets 0x44 and 0x58 which might be evaluated then by changing them.

Well, then first I am going to report this to Jon. Second, what are the offsets 0x44 and 0x58? Third, I still cannot get the description of the spell in my game whilst spell itself is installed without any problem:

COPY ~NeJ2/spl/SPWI527.SPL~ ~override/SPWI527.SPL~
 SAY NAME1 ~Xan's Eye Bite~
 SAY NAME2 ~Xan's Eye Bite~
 SAY DESC ~Xan's Eye Bite (Enchantment/Charm)...~

Do you see any problem in this code?

[EDIT] I am not talking about kits. This is just about spells.

Here is just my own observation, though it would be probably better to post it at PPG forums. I noticed that the following with respect to spells doesn't necessary add the descriptions:

SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC ~Unidentified Description~ // unidentified description for items, spell description for spells

SAY DESC ~Identified Description~ // identified description for items, unused for spells

If you look into NI then after compiling this part you would see something like this:

Unknown - Offset 0x42 - 00 00

Unknown - Offset 0x44 - 00 00 72 62 00 00 55 6e

Unknown - Offset 0x4c - 00 00 00 00

Description - Offset 0x50 - No such index (-1)

Unknown - Offset 0x54 - 63 40 01 00

Unknown - Offset 0x58 - 00 00 69 66 65 64 69 74

Unknown - Offset 0x60 - 00 00 00 00

I think SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC should extract offesets 0x42 - 0x4c, and SAY DESC - 0x50 - 0x60

This is all because someone has assumed that the structure of ITM ans SPL is identical while in my humble opinion it is not. Please correct me if I am wrong.
