Just trying to add some nifty elements to the PC's skin and am having trouble with it. Sort of going for an Uber lore/Spell Penetration thingy...

Code:

// Grimoire of Improved Lore & Knowledge
     object oUsed7 = GetItemActivated();
     oPC = GetItemActivator();
     if (GetTag(oUsed7) == "GRIMOIRE_KNOWLEDGE")
     {
        // Skin #1
        object oSkin = SKIN_SupportGetSkin(oPC);
        itemproperty ipAward = ItemPropertyBonusFeat(FEAT_SKILL_AFFINITY_LORE);
        AddItemProperty(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, ipAward, oSkin);
        // Skin #2
        oSkin = SKIN_SupportGetSkin(oPC);
        itemproperty ipAward2 = ItemPropertyBonusFeat(IP_CONST_FEAT_SPELLPENETRATION);
        AddItemProperty(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, ipAward2, oSkin);
        // Skin #3
        oSkin = SKIN_SupportGetSkin(oPC);
        itemproperty ipAward3 = ItemPropertyBonusFeat(FEAT_EPIC_SKILL_FOCUS_LORE);
        AddItemProperty(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, ipAward3, oSkin);
        //Skin #4
        oSkin = SKIN_SupportGetSkin(oPC);
        itemproperty ipAward4 = ItemPropertyCastSpell(IP_CONST_CASTSPELL_LEGEND_LORE_5, 3);
        AddItemProperty(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, ipAward4, oSkin);
     }

Right now skin #2 is the only one being applied to the PC's skin. I don't understand why?

In order to add a feat as an item property it needs to have an entry in iprp_feats.2da. Spell Penetration is the only one of those that has that by default.

The info you need to add entries in iprp_feats is found in feats.2da.

Thanks for the info Terrorble!

I've got feats.2da open right now...
...how and where do I find the germane paramater information so that I can type and edit the .2da?

For FEAT_SKILL_AFFINITY_LORE add this line to iprp_feats. All the info is from line 234 in feats.2da.

Name: 1968
Label: skillaffinitylore
Cost: 1 (it doesn't matter much if you're adding it to a skin, but would affect the cost of an item if it were in a shop)
FeatIndex: 234

*edit*
I'm forgetting something important!

ItemPropertyBonusFeat() doesn't use this type of constant: FEAT_SKILL_AFFINITY_LORE. It uses IP_CONST_FEAT_SPELLPENETRATION.

You'll see that IP_CONST_FEAT_SKILL_AFFINITY_LORE doesn't exist. But you can just use the line# from iprp_feats instead. For example: ItemPropertyBonuseFeat(63)

Handy editor for 2da on the vault:

IMO There is a better windows 2da editor on the vault and it is continuously being updated too. Don't let the fact that it is in the NwN 2 section of the vault put you off. It works great for NwN EE also. So give it a try -

Thanks Tarot. If I'm to be honest, I do kinda skim over NWN 2 material.
