Learning how to get a new spell in game

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

not 'scribe scroll' or anything.

Just select the spell from the available spells at level up.

It's automatically greyed out for some reason i cant fathom.

 

after checking every file multiple times, im convinced that theres either another file i need to do, or another line that im not aware of.

Are there any files that arent on that list allyx posted that i need to look at?

i already did the help.tab stuff.

 

could it be the lack of sound values?

i have yet to create any entries in snd_spells.mes...


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

edit: oooh gaear, cheers - checking it now

 

hmmmmmm >_< checked out those files and they look mostly like what ive been doing. Going to try a couple of things though.

 

ok, well trying the one difference from Jesse's stuff i could see, didnt change anything

trying the sound thing you said wouldnt work, didnt work

i'm going to give up for the night, and try some more tomorrow.

 

This is probably a long shot, and i very much doubt its a problem, but there is a number gap in the entries between spells 784 and 800 (ie there are no line entries of intervening numbers in spell.mes for example)

Would that cause an issue?

 

Ok, i did put the extra fields in the relevant areas... at first it made the game CTD, then i removed the entry at 801, because it didnt seem to be implemented, and that stopped the CTDS.

Curiously, when i level up a wizard/sorcerer and try to select the spell, it is greyed out, but once i fill the available spell choices (or spell choices/3rd level for sorc) it un-greys. I then remove a choice and it re-grey's out :roll:



and on a side note, the help.tab entries work fine

 

ok, one of the other spells i've been playing around with, Electric Jolt (sor/wiz 0) works, sort of. :bored:

In it's current state, it automatically goes into a wizard's spellbook at level 1 as a cantrip lvl 0 spell, but sorcerers cannot choose it from the lvl 0 list >_<

Still, it is memorizable, and castable, so at least not all is lost

here's the wizard working with it:



and here's the sorcerer not working with it

 

Also, the game seems to have created a Spell804 - Electric Jolt.pyc (as well as the original .py version) file in the data/scr folder.

None of the other spells have this

edit: after running the game again, the file is gone >_> la la la

 

ok after looking at jesse's stuff i still have nothing to go on.

As far as i am concerned, my spells should be working >_<

going to post what i've done... The only thing i can think of right now is trying an earlier number slot and seeing if i get different results if i precede some of the final spells in the list... or some naming problem in my file names that i cant quite nut out.

just to clarify, jesse's spells used the following files:

data/mes/spell.mes
data/rules/spell_enum.mes
data/rules/spells/xxx - yyyyyy.txt
data/scr/Spellxxx - yyyyyy.py

a couple less files than i've done, so ive covered all his bases at least. i've also done spelllist.mes and help.tab entries.

anyways:

spell.mes



and



for the spelllist.mes entries, there are the following (showing all 3 spells i've worked on)



and the spell_enum.mes entries, i've added in extra entries for 5802 and 20802, as that seems to be the trend for all other spells

802



5802



20802



you should also note that in all the files i've created blank xxx | {} entries for lines that have nothing in them, just to see if that would help :roll:

the help.tab entries all work fine, so i wont list those.

here is my final .txt file

filename: 802 - Scintillating Sphere.txt

location data/rules/spells

and here is the final script

	remove_list = []

	spell.duration = 0
	dam = dice_new( '1d6' )
	dam.number = min( 10, spell.caster_level )

	game.particles_end( projectile.obj_get_int( obj_f_projectile_part_sys_id ) )
	game.particles( 'sp-Scintillating Sphere-Hit', spell.target_loc )

	for target_item in spell.target_list:

			# saving throw successful
			target_item.obj.float_mesfile_line( 'mes\\spell.mes', 30001 )
		else:
			# saving throw unsuccessful
			target_item.obj.float_mesfile_line( 'mes\\spell.mes', 30002 )

		remove_list.append( target_item.obj )

	spell.target_list.remove_list( remove_list )
	spell.spell_end( spell.id )

def OnEndSpellCast( spell ):
	print "Scintillating Sphere OnEndSpellCast"pellCast

 

tried entering in a spell at 595 instead of 802+, the game started to CTD, so i removed the changes, but the CTDs remain >_< grarrrr!

 

fixed the ctds, back to where i was...
