WeiDU Help With: How to alter items from an existing container and add an item to a creature?

in General Modding
Hello I am trying to change the container items within the chest in AR5405.ARE to be as this:

What command does one write in the .tp2 file to instigate this change to Container1 in AR5405.ARE (Mulahey's Lair)?

Also how does one add "OLRING06" to Mulahey ("MULAHE.CRE") without breaking him for other mods?

COPY_EXISTING ~MULAHE.CRE~ ~override~
ADD_CRE_ITEM ~OLRING06~ #0 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~RRING~ ?

Source: https://www.weidu.org/~thebigg/README-WeiDU.html#sec34

This is for an Original Baldur's Gate Module 'Xan's New Groove':


I am none too good with operating WeiDU :-P. Any help would be great to get this to launch soon. @Arunsun

    For containers, use the following WeiDU function:
    ADD_AREA_ITEM: adds an item to a container of an area. This is a PATCH macro and function.

    SPRINT item_to_add to the item you want to add
    SET container_to_add_to to the number of the container the item should be added to. The count starts at 1.
    SPRINT flags to flags the item should have (usual weidu syntax: STOLEN, IDENTIFIEDSTOLEN, etc). Default - no flags.
    SET charges1 to amount in stock/number of charges of first magical ability (default 0)
    SET charges2 to number of charges of second magical ability (default 0)
    SET charges3 to number of charges of third magical ability (default 0)

    To alter containers content, it is better to use homemade functions.

    Okay I have read through the WeiDU document by I have no example of what this looks like in a .tp2 file. What would an example be to add an item to a container with these document commands?

    I am looking through other mods .tp2 files where they add items and it is confusing myself as to how it all does not break down. A lot of work went into this but I do not understand it currently to replicate.

    From Unfinished Business 
    COPY_EXISTING ~%WSewers%.ARE~ ~override~
    PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0xd4) BEGIN
      READ_LONG 0x70 contOff  // Offset to containers
      READ_LONG 0x78 itmOff   // Offset to item list
      FOR (READ_SHORT 0x74 numCont; numCont; numCont -= 0x1) BEGIN
        READ_ASCII contOff contName (11)    // Container name
        READ_SHORT contOff + 0x20 contXloc  // Container X location
        READ_SHORT contOff + 0x22 contYloc  // Container Y location
        // Check by name and location, in case name is modified by FotD
        PATCH_IF (!("%contName%" STRING_COMPARE_CASE "CONTAINER 1") ||
                  ((contXloc == 1924) && (contYloc == 1888))) BEGIN
          READ_LONG contOff + 0x40 itmIdx // Index of first item in list
          myItmOff = itmOff + (itmIdx * 0x14)
          FOR (READ_LONG contOff + 0x44 itmCnt; itmCnt; itmCnt -= 0x1) BEGIN
            READ_ASCII myItmOff itmRef // Item resource reference
            PATCH_IF !("%itmRef%" STRING_COMPARE_CASE "%tutu_var%MISC80") BEGIN
              WRITE_ASCIIE myItmOff ~%tutu_scriptbg%MISC79~ #8 // Female body
            END
            myItmOff += 0x14
          END
        END
        contOff += 0xc0
      END
    END
    BUT_ONLY

    I am at a loss as to what this means and how '%WSewers%.ARE' even works, I thought Area files had to be Something like '5405.ARE' to work. In the meantime I will try and get Mulahey that ring of Accurate Striking +1 for that task seems more straight forward.

    I got Mulahey to equip the Ring of Accurate Striking +1 but I am still at a loss as to how to add and remove items in the Chest (Container1) in 5405.ARE any .tp2 suggestions?

    Also I forgot to mention earlier that all of Xan's items have proper item descriptions (if a bit lengthy; how Within Amnesia makes an item:-P): Moonblade +3, Buckler +2 'Buckler of Unexpected Might', Elven Chain Mail +1 'Mail of the Evereskan Tomb Guardian', Band of Protection +1 ' Band of the Missing Page'.

    Also I threw in some extra general items that I have already completed just for extra quality of value: Ring of Accurate Striking +1, Potion of Additional Healing and Potion of Remarkable Healing at the last second.

    Honestly, I usually just script container inventory changes. Containers have unique DVs--it's the 'container name' from the area file, without the spaces--so you can manipulate them with the area script. Add something like this to the bottom of the area script, ar5405.bcs: 
    IF
  Global("CD_do_this_once","MYAREA",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    ActionOverride("Container1",DestroyItem("bar"))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("foo",0,0,0))
    SetGlobal("CD_do_this_once","MYAREA",1)
END
    This would add the item 'foo' to the container and remove the item 'bar'.

    The '%WSewers%.ARE' is using a variable for the area filename, since the filename will be different between BG1, BGT, Tutu, BGEE, and EET. So, to make a mod compatible across different platforms, you need to use variables for the area filenames. The variables are declared in the cpmvars.tpa files in the lib subdirectory of BG1UB.

    For example, in BG1, the variable declaration for the West Sewers area is:

    OUTER_SPRINT "WSewers" "AR0224"

    While for Tutu, it is:

    OUTER_SPRINT "WSewers" "FW0224"

    And for BGT:

    OUTER_SPRINT "WSewers" "AR7324"

    The rest of it is some advanced WeiDU hacking, but not too difficult to understand once you understand the .ARE file structure. Basically, it is looping over the containers in the ARE file, looking for "Container 1" (it is also checking the container location since another mod, Fields of the Dead, is known to alter the container name). When finds Container 1, it replaces the item MISC80 with MISC79.

    @CamDawg's method is definitely simpler, but you will still need to use variables for the script filenames if you want compatibility across BG1, Tutu, BGT, BGEE, and EET.

    If there is only a single instance of the item you want to delete in a area, you can use this: 
    // REMOVE ITEM USED BY TAZOK FROM ORIGINAL LOCATIONS

COPY_EXISTING ~AR1301.are~ ~override~	// Removes Orc Leather +3
	LPF DELETE_AREA_ITEM STR_VAR item_to_delete = "LEAT16" END 
BUT_ONLY

    If there are many same items populated in several containers, it is a little bit complicated and must be written by hand (that's what I called a "homemade function").

    @CamDawg Okay if I put the following in the .tp2 file for Xan's New Groove the extra content for the chest in Mulahey's Lair should work?

    Plan A: Okay so to make the default chest in AR5405.ARE become this (plus an extra new healing potion and some random treasure preserved from Classic Baldur's Gate) for what items it contains:


    I would have to remove all of the default items found in the base game and then add of the above items in descending order like this?

    Will these work? (P.S. It wants something more before [parse error at the start] so I am not exactly sure what the complete text will look like that works in the .tp2 file. I am not sure what to look for what makes a success verses a failure in this line of work; I am just roughly stumbling in the dark searching for a way forward).

    @WithinAmnesia - If you want your mod to be compatible with BGT, Tutu, and EET, you should use "MYAREA" instead of "AR5405", as CamDawg did in his example. BG1 area filenames are changed in BGT, Tutu, and EET due to conflicts with BG2 area filenames.

    Okay, I am neutral on how it works so what ever works; I am after a path that leads to the highest chance of success across as many scenarios as possible.

    I am without experience in doing this operation so I am putting my thoughts in the open to be filtered, processed and reiterated and hopefully rebuilt into something that works.

    If I can get an example of what should be in the .tp2 file to be as useful to as many people as possible for this project I will gladly use it; again I am a bit in the dark and looking for brilliance.

    P.S. How does "MYAREA" work? As in what is required to implement the system for a successful install of the module for as many different set ups as possible? It is not that I disagree on what path to choose, I simply do not currently have a path and I am looking for a lead to solve this puzzle.

    Variables have three degrees of 'scope'. A GLOBAL variable is exactly what it says on the package, a variable that can be checked any time by any object. A LOCALS variable is something unique to the object running the script, e.g. you see these used by NPCs to track their banters or by combat scripts to track what they've cast, etc. LOCALS are not accessible to other objects*, nor can every object store LOCALS variables, so these tend to get limited to creatures and their scripting. An area-scope variable is more like a GLOBAL, except that it's limited to objects in the area. Good coding practice is to try and limit the scope of your variables to the minimum needed. Since containers can't use LOCALS, area is the next-best thing.

    Using MYAREA in a script will get converted to the proper area variable by the engine, in this specific case, to AR5405. It's a good shorthand for scripts like this that may end up in multiple, differently-named areas (which is every area for mods that cover any combo of BGT-Tutu-BGEE; BG doesn't support MYAREA).

    I think otherwise the script you posted should work. Same it as a baf file, and then use

    EXTEND_BOTTOM ~ar5405.bcs~ ~mymod/myfile.baf~

    in the tp2. With the caveat that you'll eventually want to use the libraries that @AstroBryGuy has mentioned, in which case you'll end up replacing the 'ar5405' with the right variable for the area.

    * Technically, TriggerOverride lets you futz around this limitation but the broader point stands.

    Okay that was very educational @CamDawg yet I am still not 100% assured as of what the course of action should be; is this correct?


    1.) Save the following as a .baf file named OL5405.baf (OL being my registered moniker / prefix): 
    IF
  Global("OL_Xans_New_Groove","MYAREA",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100

    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL67",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL76",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL69",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL81",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL75",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL72",2,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL84",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL99",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL95",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL98",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("SCRL1P",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("OLSW1H13",1,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("OLSHLD02",1,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("OLCHAN01",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("OLHELM21",3,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("RNDTRE01",0,0,0))
    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("RNDTRE01",0,0,0))

    ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("RNDTRE05",0,0,0))
    SetGlobal("OL_Xans_New_Groove","MYAREA",1)
END

    Step 2.) In the XansNewGroove file add the OL5405.baf file and in .tp2 file write the following line:

    EXTEND_BOTTOM ~AR5405.bcs~ ~XansNewGroove/OL5405.baf~


    Step 3.) ???

    Profit?


    P.S. I hope that people will enjoy this module and I wish to be cooperative and helpful (as I can) with the community if there is a desire to find a way to make this as compatible as possible.



    *One hour later* I did some tests and iterations and I got the first feature complete version to work, a bit weird how there is a WeiDU translation option 'artifact' left over from my other larger scale module Baldur's Gate Arms and Armour Emporium but it works on with Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear! Here it is on an early release! please do tell if you find a bud / error?:-)

    @CamDawg Hello I am trying to find why this won't add an item to a chest (container 5) yet it can delete SW1H12 (Hull's Long Sword) just fine. Also this is the code and script taken from my working modules.

    The idea is that this WeiDU package will destroy item SW1H12.ITM from container 5 in AR2618.ARE (Hull's Chest Candlekeep Barracks) and create item OLSW1H12.ITM (Hulls' Long Sword [but masterwork]) and also create item Goodberry x3 in container 5 of AR2618.ARE.

    I am spent after trying all that I know and coming up short with a destroyed SW1H12 (Hull's Long Sword) yet no OLSW1H12.ITM (Hulls' Long Sword [but masterwork]) and also create item Goodberry x3 in container 5 of AR2618.ARE. Can anyone help fix this mystery?
  • CamDawgCamDawg Member, Developer Posts: 3,438
    Well, you're trying to add the items to the wrong container (Container1). Even when that's corrected, it can be a bit flaky because the ActionOverrides sometimes preempt one another. Doing the actions in serial works though:
    IF
  Global("OL_Hulls_Long_Sword","AR2618",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    ActionOverride("Container5",DestroyItem("SW1H12"))
    SetGlobal("OL_Hulls_Long_Sword","AR2618",1)
END

IF
  Global("OL_Hulls_Long_Sword","AR2618",1)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100

    Thank you @CamDawg it worked perfectly! I am sorry that I gave you an old script with container1 for the two items xD. I learned a lot from this today, thank you :-D.

    The whole reason I am doing this is to give Abdel (default CHARNAME) an interesting start to go with his +2 weapon proficiency with the Long Sword and to scratch this niggling desire to do something with Hull's Long Sword to make it more special. Two bird's with one stone. Roxanne helped myself with getting Hull to accept OLSW1H12 instead of the original SW1H12 although I was stuck here but you solved the problem :-D!

    I am still wondering how to add a player dialog option after SetGlobal("HelpHull","GLOBAL",1) in Hull.DLG [after quest hand in] that requires the speaker with 10 intellect and 14 charisma to purchase Hull's Long Sword (OLSW1H12) for 315 Gold (the base value price) for their upcoming journey with Gorion. Hull would part ways with his family heirloom saying Gorion is his friend and the sword would be put to good use in your travels; he preferred training with halberds and quarterstaves anyway. I have the working mini-module if it helps :-S. Also I added a change to the Ghost Knights in Firewine Ruins to expand them into a hard optional encounter (that needs its loot more dispersed with more new encounters; eh bit by bit:-P).
