[weidu] why can't I change shar-teel to a barbarian?

smeagolheart

This doesn't do anything.

	COPY_EXISTING ~SHARTE.cre~ ~override~
			WRITE_SHORT 0x246 0x40000000

This does something (berserker)

	COPY_EXISTING ~SHARTE.cre~ ~override~
			WRITE_SHORT 0x246 0x4001

Is there a way I'm supposed to ask nicer or something?

Uhh.. isn't 0x40000000 the base class (no kit) thus setting Shar-Teel to a plain warrior (which she already is?) try 0x00004000 instead.
(0x40000000 might have worked when Barbs still were their own "class")

No - barbs have never been their own class, they've always been a kit. And,
0x00004000
...is the Trueclass/unkitted value.

But, I think the kit code is actually in offsets 0x244 and 0x246. So try

WRITE_SHORT 0x244 0x4000
WRITE_SHORT 0x246 0x0000

this did it, thank you @subtledoctor

dual class button is greyed out, I thought they officially incorporated allow barbarians to dual class once they put barbarian under fighter on kit selection screen but it seems not.

Nope, they have not changed barbarians at all, except as to which menu they appear in. Last I heard, they were planning to mention the inability to dual-class in the kit disadvantages section and leave it at that. (Which is the right thing to do IMHO.)

That's fine and seems like the right thing to do I guess.

For me, I'm so used to allowing them to dual through mods that it seems like a default to me now.

There are a few mods that allow dual classing for barbarians and sorcerers, but Beamdog isn't going to change those classes's dual class options officially.

Hm, you are right. I was lazy and looked it up in EE Keeper which strangly enough shows 0x00004000 for barbarians and 0x40000000 as true class.

Barbarians and wild mages can dualclass via mods. I don't believe it is possible to have sorcerers dual class (although I have no idea what was changed in the most recent engine update.)

yep that's what I said, I'm so used to allowing them to dual that I thought it was default by now with BD, but it's not and that's fine.

I stand corrected.
