Temple+ Modding Question

Apologies, but the list of Python functions in the Temple plus Changelog seems to have been shortened... I was wondering whether a "make flatfooted" Python function existed as the feat combo Combat Expertise\Improved Feint\"Surprise Casting"\Surprising Riposte is just too munchkin to ignore....

 

Hi Pygmy,

Yeah I recently snipped it because it was both too long and not exhaustive.
You can see all the python ObjHandle methods here:

https://github.com/GrognardsFromHel...e0c/TemplePlus/python/python_object.cpp#L3484

Specifically for flatfooted, I think you should be able to just add it as a condition via using .condition_add, even in vanilla ToEE.

 

Has temple plus made changes in the way trader's inventory is handled? I have a modified invensource.mes in my overrides directory, but none of the changes I made are in the game. Not even in a new game with a new party.

 

No, it hasn't.

 

That explains why I haven't seen any changes. The changes I made were more longspears in the starting equipment shop and the percentage for Calmert to sell the weapons increased. And since you never see the starting shops restock and Calmert takes his time to do so...

 

Confirmed, it's my mod was interfering with Sneak Attack condition. Fixed.

EDIT: Character recreation is needed!

 

I would like to add spells like Camouflage that add an cirumstance bonus to skills for the spells duration. I looked through the availible bonus types and cirumstance is in the game but I couldn't find an easy example how to add values to skills via python. Is there an example for to me look at?

 

Code:

game.leader.condition_add_with_args("Skill Circumstance Bonus", skill_hide, 10)

 

That will create a permanent effect... he wants a spell effect.
I don't know if any of the current engine effects support this. The old co8 method would probably spawn a spell object with this bonus.
With Temple+ you can create a new spell condition... check out the spells doug has added for example (those in the enum 1000 range).

 

Sure it will add permanent effect. I just wanted to add him some starting point.

Creating spell IMHO is quite hard. And creating conditions are even harder. Although I created 79 conditions for my zmod, I have only created one spell - Darkness.

I think we should have some sort of tutorial.

 

Thanks for your quick replies,
yeah I did take a look at doug's spells before I asked, I also did take a look at the Python functions there is a PyObjHandle_SkillRanksSet though I am unsure if I could and how I could use it. Sadly doug never tried to manipulate a skill value directly in his spells. In his moment of prescience spell, he tried to interrupt a skillhook (ET_OnGetSkillLevel) but he commented it out, I assume cause it does not work.
