[BUG] Opcode 181 (forbid itemtype) does not work

RequiemRequiem Member Posts: 187
in BG:EE Bugs (v1.2)
Expected behaviour: when used (with a relevant item code in parameter 2) and applied to a character thar character should not be able to equip that item. E.g. if used with item code 0x1a it should prevent the character from equipping staves.

Current behaviour: No effect

    Heya, had to change this effect a bit to fix it.

    Parameter 1 will now be the item type to be disallowed and parameter 2 will be if the equip(0) or use(1) will be restricted.

    Not sure if it'll make it into the next patch or not, but let me know if it breaks any existing items.

    @sethdavis do you mean that it might be in the patch released today? or the next patch after the one today? I will try using the opcode like you said anyway, and thanks for the quick reply :).
  • SethDavisSethDavis Member Posts: 1,812
    looks like it'll be the next one after today

    @sethdavis well I will be looking forward to that then, thank you very much for the information.

    @sethdavis I just have one more request, is it possible to have items disallowed by either opcode 180 or 181 show up with the red overlay in a characters inventory? It's not a huge point but at the moment you can only tell you can't use it by trying to equip it and getting the "can not use item" message.

    Hmmm, I don't think it'll be too hard, but I've thought that before. I'll make a note of it and see.

    @sethdavis Outstanding, I really appreciate the quick replies.

    While i'm on a roll, and although it's not really a bug, more of a query, is there any possibility of getting any more item types recognised by the engine. None of them are completely new, just to flesh out what is available, I'm more interested in using opcode 181 to block their use out in certain kits than to introduce novel items. I already use a script to automatically sort items into appropriate categories based on some of their attributes.

    Categories I was specifically thinking of:

    - Elven Chain (same as chain mail, just duplicated and renamed)
    - All "large swords" and "small swords" broken down into what they actually are, e.g. 1 category for short sword, 1 category for long sword, 1 category for scimitar, 1 category for ninja-to, 1 category for katana, and so on. (same as parent categories, just duplicated and renamed for each type)
    - Wizard and Cleric Scrolls (as 2 seperate categories, same as the existing "scrolls" itemtype just duplicated and renamed).
    - Bracers and Gauntlets. (i'm not sure if this has already been split into two categories)
    - Heavy Crossbow and Light Crossbow. (same as crossbow just duplicated and renamed)
    - Short Bow, Long Bow, Composite Long Bow (same as bow just duplicated and renamed)
    - Helmets and Ioun Stones. (ioun stones could possibly go under 0x0048 Hat currently, haven't tested it)
    - Necklaces and Amulets. (same as necklaces just duplicated and renamed)
    - Hammers and throwing hammers (seperate, same as hammers, just duplicated and renamed)
    - Dual-use daggers and throwing daggers (seperate, same as daggers, just duplicated and renamed)
    - Dual-use Axes and throwing axes (seperate, same as axes, just duplicated and renamed)
    - Dual-use Pears and Javelins (same as spears, just duplicated and renamed)


    Whew, big post. Just an idea anyway, i realise you guys are very busy, and thanks again for the updates

    alrighty, the overlay wasn't much trouble at all. It should make it into the next patch.

    As for the expanded list of item types, that would probably be useful for a few different things, but I think you can get what you're after by using effect 180 and disallow these items by their resource name. We might eventually expand the item types but I don't know where it is hiding and it would take a lot of testing. I'll keep it in mind in case I come across it though.

    @sethdavis thats great news about the overlay, thank you very much.

    With regards to using opcode 180 over new item types i pretty much came to that conclusion as well, busy writing some code now to read all the files in the game and create blocking spells by each type, seems like the way to do it, thanks again for your help.

    Hi !

    Does it work now ? If so, could someone explain me how to use it ? Near Infinity can't do it right now.

    @Papy_silk - February?!? Sorry that was a previous model of Seth, this might take some thinking.

    Alrighty, I'll attach a testing amulet here for reverse engineering.

    If you have a character who has a quarterstaff (Adelia in my case) you should notice that they cannot equip it when wearing the amulet.

    Having parameter #1 (the topmost Unknown in effect 181) in NI set t0 1a 00 00 00 will disallow quarterstaves. you should be able to get other item types from an IDS file.

    Having parameter #2 set to 0 will prevent the equiping of items, while setting it to 1 will (hopefully) prevent the use of abilities like potions or sandthief ring with the right parameter #1. It's been ages since i tested that so i dunno if it works like that.

    @SethDavis As far as I can tell, there's no IDS for weapons. Would you have a list by any chance ? (I can trial&error it to death too... but it will be quite long, depending on what's on the list)

    I didn't thought about looking in the "file formats". Not very intuitive. XD I wrote all this for nothing. /cry
