  Conversation between scripters. One sentence written/2 years. I don't think my repply was ever read XD // These messages are not as important, they are sent to the debug PC if the debug mode has been activated. void DebugMessage(string sMsg, int iLevel = 0) { //Azz: I don't see a reason not to write this to the log. //Agrafes: Because it generates a ton of stuff? //Snowy: We should try to take out DebugMessage from scripts that were debugged then. WriteTimestampedLogEntry("DEBUG:" + sMsg);

  If you want to learn how to script, I also reccommend looking at a few tutorials on how to program using C++. It's very similar to the NwN scripting language, and learning about loops and functions and the syntax will help a lot! This free online book is apparantley quite good: Thinking in C++ Vol 1 and 2

  This kind of thing is kinda popular. so rather than every individual builder etc. creating a whole new OnSpawn event sript for their own statues, it's probably better to make a single resource and use that to save the number of different scripts and hard resource limits. I would definitely recommend taking care to combine with OnConversation event script that ensures they always face the correct orientation and remove/modify OnAttacked, otherwise the statuses will animate in different circumstance. Also, further, it may be even more prescient to have a standard "SpawnAs..." statue, "ghostly", etc. kind of script so builders can set a variable and a common scruipt will ensure the correct results...

  It doesn't work. I wanted to post things on that 'issue tracked forum' and it never works for me, it won't let me log in. I think Tempest also wrote in his post that it didn't work for him so I'm not alone. o.o

  Can probably test it again but when testing Song of Fury my test subject reported that the rage did not last a full 10 rounds. It also doesn't effect the bard themselves, whether that is intended or not.

  That one is a search system based on the on player chat to find items using a character's search skill. Also some DMFI stuff. I could also use some tutorials on while loops, or loops in general as I struggle with them sometimes.

  You don't need one at all, it's probly a really bad way to do it. I mean, you could just have a bunch of objects somewhere with all the information stored either as local variables, or as descriptions or whatever you wanted. Or you could create a megatonne of actual conversation files, but I would advise against that.

  Thanks buddy. We already have a script for this, I don't know if it was cancelled or doesnt run in some places or what. There are some issues with running it, like checking it really -should- run right then, so people don't lose out on loot they are about to pick up,m but those can be negated with further checks.

  Respawn is essentially the same as ressurection or raise dead, just (probably) with different XP penalties, and a different means of triggering it. You probably want to use a conversation with some NPC (or whatever) and have a script fire in that, that is, essentially, identical to your res scripts, but with a different value in the variable it uses to remove XP. Whitelight is considerably different, as you need to actually delete characters from your server. That requires scripts outside of your game (I think, though honestly I'm not all that sure) The other option is to simply apply a variable to a character token (an item given on character creation, that can be used to store persistant variables relating to that specific character) upon whitelighting, this variable, lets called it iAmWhitelighted Gets set to 1. Any further conversations with the guy who respawns you could result in him saying he can't help you (use "text appears when", in the conversation option, and check for the variable on the character token) And any ressurection spells could find the character (Which it must already do) then check that variable, and if its 1, just stop (and probly send a message to the players involved)

  @Dedagin: @Zool: oh yeah, sorry, I was trying to apply logic to NWN's systems. Silly me. This works only if you then throw all of your results out, then plop in a totaly arbitrary number, like 42. The Sacred Answer to the Universe is NEVER arbitrary!

  Thanks for responding. I will try to keep figuring it out. Good system though. I like NWN and NWN2 because I use it to play and practice programming. But sometimes I get stuck. So I appreciate any help you can give. Take care.

  Yeah, I got this working eventually. It was one of those incredibly ridiculous problems where you look at a line of code a dozen times before you realize you did one simple obvious thing wrong.

  I actually just found an include designed specifically for doing what I want buried deep in the underbelly of CoA. It's so deep, no one knows who made it, but it's rumoured the great script sorceror Bacon waded through the amalgam of code, and made magical adjustments some time ago. Now to figure out how it works.

  Unfortunately, the systems above haven't been updated to account for the new content delivered in the 1.69 patch, much less custom content. They simply don't work in their current state (I preformed some cursory tests, locally). And yes, the number of additional resources required to make them function is off-putting.

  It would be more effort than it would be worth. There would be massive resolution issues including poly counts, nevermind textures, add to that the fact that NWN 2 likely has more vertical possibilities than NWN 1 (more 3d than 2.5D, probably, not entirely sure) and you have one hell of a task ahead of you. The answer is yes, essentially, but boy… I would not want to take on that project.

  I'm omitting the spell "Imbue Item" since it is a crafting type feat, and would affect the balance of CoA's economy. I haven't by any means ruled it out, but I'd rather deal with it later on.
