Near Infinity - Adding Spell to Familiar

WillScarlett

Hi guys. Can I add a spell to my familiar with NI? I think I know how to add the spell as a "known spell" but I'm not sure how to edit the "spell memorization" in the CRE file. In short, how do I add a spell and make it accessible to the familiar in-game?

So far, I (think I) know how to:

1. Locate the correct CRE file.
2. Make a backup of the CRE file.
3. Locate the stats and identify the correct panels to edit.

That's pretty much it, thanks.

ah I think I've figured it out. Now I feel smart. For now.

The tricky thing about spell memorization in NI is it starts with Level 0, so a Level 1 spell in game is a Level 0 in, NI, a Level 2 spell in game is a Level 1 spell in NI, and so on I guess. Sorry for prattling, but I couldn't find a complete NI guide online.

NI visualizes most game resources without further postprocessing. A great source for in-depth information about IE file formats (and their peculiarities) can be found in the IESDP ("IE File Formats" section).
