    Negative values must be entered as expressions or string (they are still not usable in the "ALTER_/CLONE_/DELETE_" functions, since those use negative values for other purposes).
    String variables must have delimeters, and an EVAL if they themselves contain variables.

    
COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP ~.*\.cre~ ~override~
LPF ADD_CRE_EFFECT
 INT_VAR	//	integer variables
	opcode = (0 - 1)	// expression
	target = "-1"	// various delimeters
	parameter1 = %-1%
	parameter2 = ~-1~
	timing = ~~~~~-1~~~~~
 STR_VAR	//	string variables
	resource = ~USSTSD01~	//	Primary resource field, same as used in Spells/Items
	resource2 = EVAL ~%file%~	// extra Resource field only used by a few opcodes
	vvcresource = "USSTSD02"	// extra Resource field only used by a few opcodes
	effsource = %USSTSD03%	// parent resource field, only used in specific situations, but must always be in ALLCAPS when it used.
	effvar = ~~~~~scriptvariablename~~~~~	// only used by opcode 187 AFAIK
END
    "sourceslot" is not one that you will ever likely need to use.
    No such luck. I tweaked the parameters and WeiDU runs fine, but it doesn't add any effects to any critters; they don't show up in "Stats" in Near Infinity, and the "Effects" field is still zero.

    COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP ~.*\.cre~ ~override~
    LPF ADD_CRE_EFFECT
    INT_VAR // integer variables
    opcode = 402 // expression
    target = 1 // various delimeters
    parameter1 = 0
    parameter2 = 0
    timing = 9
    STR_VAR // string variables
    resource = ~USSTSD01~ // Primary resource field, same as used in Spells/Items
    END

    Is it possible this command doesn't work in IWD2 to begin with? Even when I try a simpler code, like giving all critters +1 AC, no effects show up on the .cre files in Near Infinity. WeiDU will say it patched 1645 creatures and they'll be there in the override folder, but none of the .cre files shows any difference.

    COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP ~.*\.cre~ ~override~
    LPF ADD_CRE_EFFECT
    INT_VAR // integer variables
    opcode = 0 // expression
    target = 1 // various delimeters
    parameter1 = 1
    parameter2 = 0
    timing = 9
    // STR_VAR // string variables
    // resource = ~USSTSD01~ // Primary resource field, same as used in Spells/Items
    END

    Which WeiDU version are you using?
  • semiticgoddesssemiticgoddess Member Posts: 14,903
    @Gwendolyne: No idea. How would I check?
  • GwendolyneGwendolyne Member Posts: 461
    First line of your setup-xxxxx.DEBUG file. ;)
  • semiticgoddesssemiticgoddess Member Posts: 14,903
    @Gwendolyne: It was 242. I downloaded WeiDU v243, pasted the contents of the .zip file into my IWD2 directory, then copied the WeiDU.exe file and renamed the copy as Setup-testWeiDu, my standard testing .exe. But when I run the new .exe file (which I notice is now 972 kilobites, when it used to be lower), I get the same result: WeiDU runs fine, but there is no change to the .cre files.
  • kjeronkjeron Member Posts: 2,368
    @semitigod If it's not adding anything, and not returning errors, then it likely is not supported in IWD2.

    Don't know if it helps, but try the last one (v245) because it fixes a regression with CD functions introduced by a previous version (wrong offsets).
  • semiticgoddesssemiticgoddess Member Posts: 14,903
    I tried out v245 just now. Looks like it's just not supported.

    I can modify most of the stuff I want through other means, but what I'd really like is to use a current HP opcode and a max HP opcode to force all critters to have half HP, which would reduce the +80 HP from Heart of Fury mode (which otherwise is independent of base HP values from .cre files). Theoretically, I could try patching all critters to have a custom item in whatever empty item slot might be available, but it might just be best to accept an 80-HP difference in HoF mode.
  • GwendolyneGwendolyne Member Posts: 461
    I checked the source files and you are right: the function does not support IWD2 CRE file format. I don't have time the incoming next days, but it might not be very difficult to adapt it to CRE v2.2. It is just a matter of offsets and sizes to be modified.

    I've got a new problem and I'm stumped. I'm getting an error when I'm trying to compile a pair of .d file which contain links to each other, both in the form of vanilla game links and new links which I've added. WeiDU says "Cannot resolve external symbolic label" when I run it, so apparently the links I'm adding have some syntax error I cannot see.

    In case it helps, here is the .d file I'm working with. I've put the portions I've edited in bold so they stand out from the vanilla entries.

    I don't think my TP2 code is the problem:

    BEGIN "convert dialog to d"

    COMPILE ~testWeiDu/dlg/60MADAE.d~
  • BubbBubb Member Posts: 1,005
    @semiticgod
    Since the .d files reference eachother, they need to be compiled together. Instead of running two different COMPILE operations, try combining them into one, like so:
    COMPILE ~testWeiDu/dlg/61ISAIR.d~ ~testWeiDu/dlg/60MADAE.d~
  • semiticgoddesssemiticgoddess Member Posts: 14,903
    @Bubb: Success! Thank you! My .d files still had some syntax errors, but once I sorted those out, the two dialogues compiled perfectly.
  • BubbBubb Member Posts: 1,005
    Let me preface my question with this: I have several different skins for my spell menu mod - some of the games the mod can be installed on do not include the required BAM assets for the given skin. I want to ship my mod with the required BAM assets so that it is game-independent; a problem arises, however, because the BAM assets I am using are V2. When I try to make the assets portable the game simply crashes when I try to use them - I assume this is because the linked PVRZ files are not present in the target game. I believe I have two options: either go through some trouble with the WeiDU installer to properly install these assets, or convert them to BAM V1 and simply throw them in the override folder.

    My question is this: Would there be any downsides to converting these assets to V1, like a loss in quality? If that is the case, I would be willing to go through the hoops of installing the V2 versions...

    As an aside, if I do decide to install the V2 versions, how would I go about doing so? The PVRZ link seems a bit complicated at a glance.

    Loss of quality yes as if I remember correctly BAM V1 use a palette with only 256 colors. And also with BAM V2, you can have transparency.

    You need to create your bams instead of reusing the one in the game as the PVRZ they use is often shared with other bams. This way, you can choose the index you want for the PVRZ file. And then you have some weidu functions (LPF UPDATE_PVRZ_INDICES) that can be used to automatically reindex your bams to avoid any collision.

    You can look at EEUITweaks or LeUI-IWDEE for example.

    @subtledoctor: Well, in IWD2 at least, the Learn Spell opcode has a parameter that lets you toggle between arcane and divine spells. I don't know if it works, but it shows up in Near Infinity.

    You might just try copying the ability from a mage scroll onto a priest scroll (you know, a mage scroll's twin abilities to Cast Spell and Learn Spell) and then setting the opcode's parameter 1 or parameter 2 from zero to "1" to see if it works. Maybe the other IE games have the same functionality and it's just never been tried out.
  • kjeronkjeron Member Posts: 2,368
    @subtledoctor
    The button is hardcoded to only function for those with a mage spellbook. Getting it to appear for others won't do anything when you click it, not even expend the scroll.

    However, someone with a mage spellbook is not limited to learning just wizard spells, they can also learn priest/innate spells this way. The feedback will always display failure, but IIRC it's automatically successful for non-wizard spells.

    The Cleric/Mage and Fighter/Cleric/Mage are the only priests that could learn priest spells through scrolls that way.

    I tried out v245 just now. Looks like it's just not supported.

    @kjeron: Thank you! I don't understand most of it besides the last few lines starting at COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP, but I think that last section will let me apply all of the effects that I'm looking for.

    I thought using 11 for the RELATION would achieve this... but in testing, it doesn't work.

    I ran into this same issue - it required 3 entries in SPLPROT:
    rowX stat range 10 // too many bits
    rowY stat value 11 // not enough bits
    rowZ 0x103 rowX rowY // too many or not enough

    rowZ is the one you would use in opcode 318.

    (range): This value will depend on how many bits you are using for these checks.
    It is: (all bits [-1]) - (all bits being used) + (value)
    If you are using bits0-2 (Proficiency), bits used = BIT0+BIT1+BIT2 = 7
    stat != 1 would be (-1 - 7 + 1) = -7 or 0xfffffff9
    stat != 2 would be (-1 - 7 + 2) = -6 or 0xfffffffa
    stat != 3 would be (-1 - 7 + 3) = -5 or 0xfffffffb
    stat != 4 would be (-1 - 7 + 4) = -4 or 0xfffffffc
    stat != 5 would be (-1 - 7 + 5) = -3 or 0xfffffffd
    stat != 6 would be (-1 - 7 + 6) = -2 or 0xfffffffe

    stat != 0 would be (-1 - 7 + 0) = -8 or 0xfffffff8, and would not need a rowY or rowZ
    stat != 7 would just use rowY, without the need for rowX or rowZ

    @subtledoctor reverse the values used for relation 10 and 11.
    10 gets the negative number, 11 gets the positive number.
    subtledoctor said:


    EDIT - probably also have to evaluate all the values of (%splprot_rows% + x) beforehand, too...

    EDIT2 - With my custom proficiency system this needs to go up to 4. And I don't care about 0 or 1 (I think). So 9 rows added per weapon stat, or 180 rows.

    Yes and yes. Fortunately, SPLPROT is generous with it's rows, unlike SPLSTATE.

    That code appears to work just fine in-game on my end.
    Equip Axe with ** = 3/2 APR
    Equip Axe with *** = 2 APR
    Equip Axe with **** = 5/2 APR
    I assume that's what you were going for here.

    With 2 exceptions:
    Bows and Darts have duplicated immunities which show up in the combat log (because they use opcode 324, instead of opcode 318), not sure what the intent is here, but the 2 sets of immunities may be interfering with each other.

    Ok, need some help as I'm out of ideas.

    I made some spells that summons creatures previously, but now I'm having a bad time with one.

    1) The spell is given as it should

    2) The spell appears on the innate menu

    3) The spell can be cast

    4) The creature that was supposed to appear does not appear.

    It is a skeleton with a scimitar that gives it some properties. The same spell structure was used for the other summon spells (that work perfectly), so my guess is that the issue is somewhere in the .cre or .itm files.

    Thanks in advance.

    @Raduziel
    I'm not sure what's wrong on your end, but it seems to work fine for me, and I can't see anything glaringly wrong in the files. Here's what I did to test it:
    1. Unzipped your zip into my override folder
    2. Used C:AddSpell("RAMYRK3") on charname
    3. Cast the spell from charname's innates menu

    I tried the spell in BGEE, BG2EE, and IWDEE; in every game it works. It is very strange that it doesn't work for you. This might be a dumb question, but are you sure you are not at your summoning cap? That would prevent the creature from spawning... just a thought.

    No, not at the summoning cap at all. New game, solo, not but the character in the party or by the party's side.

    Thanks for testing, @Bubb !

    Edit: I did a second test and all other summoning for all the other kits are working perfectly, only this one is being a problem.
