Guest Dark_Ansem Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 does anyone know what is entirely hard-coded into the game and can't really be changed? Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I'm talking about The Sith Lords, you are right. Quote
Guest milestails Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I do know that some text in menus and cutscenes etc. are hard-coded because modders have tried to change the interface color from the green that Obisidian came up with. Quote
Hassat Hunter Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 You can turn the main menu in some twisted KOTOR1/2 mix (with Malak too) though 0_0. Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I read somewhere that there's a workaround for feats (besides the obvious Force power exploit), I'm interested also in making the bonuses of the various lightsaber forms scale with your character, and in general, use that critera. I do not understand, however, why force forms are locked, since they are classified as force powers and not as feats (big surprise for me). Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 it also appears that the various alignment masteries are hardcoded... Quote
Guest DeadMan Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I do not understand, however, why force forms are locked, since they are classified as force powers and not as feats (big surprise for me). Not only saber forms, but ALL passive Force powers are hardcoded. Quote
Hassat Hunter Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 No, no, they're not. Effects of ALL Force Powers can be altered in a script. Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 even saber forms then? but I suspect no new forms can be added, right? what about feats? I'm sure they cannot be added, but what about edited? Quote
VarsityPuppet Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 even saber forms then? but I suspect no new forms can be added, right? what about feats? I'm sure they cannot be added, but what about edited? Other way around. Feats can be added, but they cannot be edited. By default, any new feats you add do pretty much nothing for you, and you can't really change that. You can use them as placeholders in scripts though. Like Atton's Fighting Spirit in actuality does nothing... it basically serves as a boolean for his OnDeath script to see if he has that script... THEN, if he does, he'll be revived automatically when the conditions are right. Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 ah! so one could do a fighting spirit for the main character, for example? Quote
VarsityPuppet Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Find the right script to modify, then yeah, for sure. Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) I mean in principle, it would be different. all passive feats work like fighting spirit? do you know about value caps for attributes, bonuses to attributes, AC/BAB etc? I think attribute cap is 99, but I could be wrong. EDIT: sorry, but it just dawned on me: what about more values for regeneration, both health and power: do they require script editing of 2da editing is enough?

Hassat Hunter Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 even saber forms then? but I suspect no new forms can be added, right? // DJS-OEI 3/25/2004 // The Ancient Lightsaber Form provides bonuses to saves, // which we handle as decreases to the DC. if( IsFormActive( oTarget, FORM_LIGHTSABER_ANCIENT_I ) || IsFormActive( oTarget, FORM_LIGHTSABER_ANCIENT_II ) ) { // +1 bonus to save. nMod -= 1; } else if( IsFormActive( oTarget, FORM_LIGHTSABER_ANCIENT_III ) ) { // +2 bonus to save. nMod -= 2; } Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 but are they selectable in-game? apparently my information was outdated! Quote
Darth Snard Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 The attribute cap is 251 because anything over that will cause game crush. The forms might be selectable in game since they are classified as force powers, but they are used as if they are feats, so this might cause problems. Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 attribute like strength/wisdon is 251? if so I don't have to worry what kind of problems? Quote
Darth Snard Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 By "problems" I mean that you might not be able to create new forms because they are used like feats. But then again, they might be fine because they are force powers. And yes, I mean attributes such as Strength and Wisdom, etc. Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 like in Oblivion. well that's good, we can make overpowered characters or rather, more overpowered than already is... what about bonuses to AC/attack defense? do you know? Quote
Guest Dark_Ansem Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I could not find a script that describes: Area of effect spells "Spell" resistance, even in negative (as intented in D&D term, completely resisting a power, not simply succeeding the saving throw") to increase the regeneration caps I can simply alter the correct .2da file (and create a corresponding tlk entry), regeneration_e or something?
