PSTEE: New Opcodes?

Aquadrizzt

I know that I'll have a definitive answer very shortly, but is anyone allowed to discuss some of the modding side changes to the engine?

Things like new 2das, effects, or opcode behavior?

We're not allowed to talk about this until the release of the game on April the 11th.

Aquadrizzt

I suspected as much. Thanks for letting me know.

Aquadrizzt

We have arrived, so what's the deal modding wise?

There are mainly remapped opcodes from the original game. I'll release a new NI version shortly with PST:EE support (and many more features) where you can find out more.

Aquadrizzt

Great thanks @argent77 .

Do you already have something in mind, Aquadrizzt? Maybe a magic mod?

Dude I have a Planescape Torment tattoo; PSTEE is probably gonna be my default modding playground for a while.

I already have one idea (5th Edition-based stuff) that I've wanted to do for a long time with IWDEE but it might be better suited to Planescape anyway, so there's that. A magic expansion for it is not off the table either, but no concrete plans yet.

Okay, looking at pst iesdp, it's time to speculate:
( starting from the end because i assume that those are newish)

#211 (0x211) Spell Effect: Induce Hiccups [211]
Parameter #1: Irrelevant
Parameter #2: Irrelevant
Description:
Applies the Induce Hiccups effect to the targeted creature(s).

Hmmm...

#210 (0x210) Spell Effect: Detect Evil (Status) [210]
Parameter #1: Irrelevant
Parameter #2: Irrelevant
Description:
Applies the Detect Evil effect to the targeted creature(s).

Does this mean that the targeted creature can detect evil creatures in their line of sight?

#209 (0x209) Spell Effect: Soul Exodus [209]
Parameter #1: Irrelevant
Parameter #2: Irrelevant
Description:
Applies the Soul Exodus effect to the targeted creature(s). Does not affect the protagonist.

?

#208 (0x208) Spell Effect: Fist of Iron [208]
Parameter #1: Irrelevant
Parameter #2: Irrelevant
Description:
Applies the Fist of Iron effect to the targeted creature(s). This results in the targetted creature(s) gaining +3 Fist THAC0 and +6 Fist damage.

Nifty.

#207 (0x207) Spell Effect: Stop All Action [207]
Parameter #1: Unknown
Parameter #2: Type
Description:
Toggles all interactive elements of the game (e.g. the GUI, character selection etc), based on the 'Type' field.
Known values of 'Type' are:
0 Stop actions
1 Enable actions
This effect has no duration.
NB. Scripts and animations continue to run

Hmmm

#206 (0x206) Embalm (Non-commulitive)
Parameter #1: Irrelevant
Parameter #2: Embalming Type
Description:
The embalming type parameter determines what affect is given to the target of the effect.
A 0 will give the target 2-8 hit points and +1 AC for the duration of the spell.
Any other value gives the target +2 hit points per level of the caster and +2 AC.
Both effects last for the duration of the spell.

Cool

#205 (0x205) Move View to Target
Parameter #1: Speed
Parameter #2: Irrelevant
Description:
To automatically zoom onto the target, leave both parameters at zero. To have the camera go to the target at a certain speed, set the Speed parameter from 1-255, with 1 being the slowest and 255 the fastest.
