Subraces Help

Post by Exar Jun »

I am working on getting subraces set up on our PW. How do you guys do it here...and is there an MSN for someone that is a key person to talk to about this? I am trying the package the Greg Zoeller has on the vault but I have been on your server before and wanted to see how you do it.

You can post or email/message me at exar_jun@hotmail.com.

Thanks in advance.

It's pretty much done via creature skins in NS4 right now. Just have a hook on module enter/subrace selection dialogue to give and force equip a skin you designed in the toolset.

Ok...i have it up and running on the first pass but I have not dug into the level modifier and such. Is Joran still the main guru? I would like to chat on msn with someone if possible. if not, please direct me to the right person so I can pm them.

Thanks in advance

Took a quick glance over your link. Problems I see with it for PW use:
- 2da reads are slow--move the info to a database if it's used a lot.
- Tlk file--players have to have this to connect...if it adds a lot or you hak already no big deal. The only reason to have one is to get stuff onto the game gui or for translations.
- On client enter, not a good idea. This script handle is worthless still.

Integrating ELC into experience rewards means custom experience system, there are several good ones on the vault to use. Then add ELC to any hitdie check (go by amount of experience, not GetHitDice() by the way).

A better solution is NWNx-Leto or Auto-bic (Java app). Makes a lot of other things possible as well. PRC's subrace system is on the vault and uses NWNx-Leto, that can be used as a base without hak if you don't want to use the whole PRC.

yeah, u have to adjust that PrC hak. i made a tester mod and posted it to NWN, but everytime i tried to use the skills of one of the new PrC's it crashed the whole thing. :cry: now i have to rebuild the whole thing from scratch.
