(BG2) Kit stuff, always with the bugs (0813)

Continued from here.
So, it turns out I was wrong here when I said existing kit values worked (go figure I pick a kit at random and it is one that accidentally turns out to be correct).

Values assigned to kitted characters at character generation do not match the values listed in KIT.IDS. E.g., ASSASINs get 0xA at CC, but the value in KIT.IDS is 0x4000.
I guess the best fix for this would be to apply the patches from the Fixpack, to make KIT.IDS match the hardcoded values.

    OK - cool - that's two gurus who think this should fix it, @Wisp and @Avenger_teambg -

    and the value for Wildmage? Or are we back to not being able to tell if the PC is a huge hulking smelly brute covered in fur or a spindly long hat and spectacles peering out from behind a book larger than his entire torso? :)

    @cmorgan
    WILDMAGE and BARBARIAN both work with the existing values.
  • cmorgancmorgan Member Posts: 707
    Sweet. That has been a personal pPITA for me, as i like to set up personalized strings.

    What should these correspond to? Some of them (mageschools only) match the defines in the code used to identify the kits, but the rest don't match up very well

    Sorry - are you asking which kit matches up with which class? Or what value the kit should match?

    @SethDavis
    The values are written to and read from 0x244 in the CRE structure (apparently in big-endian too, to make it more interesting), if that is what you are asking.

    With the only-half-the-dword-used bug fixed, the exact values apparently only matter insofar as what a kitted character has assigned to him/her during character creation. If you AddKit() with a different value than the hardcoded, Kit() will happily work with it. But since Kit() needs to work with values assigned during character creation, the values in KIT.IDS need to be changed to match the hardcoded ones. And yeah, in vanilla, only the mage kits are correct and working.

    Ok, I'll toss in @Wisp's fix then

    Potentially fixed - @Wisp's fix has been applied

    Confirmed fixed. KIT.IDS have all the right values and kit checks work for Priests of Talos, Wild Mages, Assassins and Kensais. Edit: add GENERALIST/TRUECLASS, Diviner and Skald to the list.

    @SethDavis there are more kits than kit usability bits. So, only part of these (the ancient mageschool parts) could be used directly. The rest is 0x4000 + kitlist.2da row number.
    Someone in your group KNEW this, because they correctly assigned 0x4020 (that is 0x4000 + 32) to blackguard. Well, it could have been some weidu magic command too.

    Confirmed Fixed in Build 0815

    Used NI to check if Wisp's changes were in the kit.ids file.
