RIFT - Rich Interactive Faction "Thingy"

Requirements: NWNX/APS - table structure provided in sql files.

RIFT is designed to override NWN factions, because of this it requires
a 2da to be placed in override so that bioware factions do not cause
trouble.

Right now it has one known issue.  If 2 npcs are of the same nwn faction
but seperate rift factions they still will not be able to use spells like
IGMS against one another because they require the npcs to be of seperate
factions.  To fix this problem in the future I will have a function to switch
the nwn faction of one of the npcs, but another solution to this would be to use
the faction check in nw_i0_spells and recompile those who use hostile targetting
I won't give specifics on this now, but if in the future those who don't know are 
unsure how to do it I may package a set of spell scripts to fix this problem.

Note, there is one check that is needed in AI scripts of npcs and that is
DoRiftCheck. It sets the appropriate reaction to npcs and also is used to decide 
whether or not they respond to shouts.  

More information and instructions will be given now, post questions if you have them but I
plan to release a more robust documentation later which I will probably base to some
extent on current questions.  

(Also, faction reputation cannot be less than 1 between factions as this is how npcs know
the faction reputation was loaded, has to be greater than 0)

Thanks

afraid not... sadly. There is really no way to deal with that as PVP settings I think are "hardcoded" in the 2da files, and not really something any scripting system can deal with.

And if you were to edit the 2das controlling this you couldn't really prevent combat entirely..

This system is really intended for a server that has a good amount of guilds that have both PCs and NPCs. Say you have a group who is in with the undead. Obviously you don't want undead to attack those. Well, you can A) write a custom onperception script for every group like this that you want to create or B) use RIFT.

That's pretty much what RIFT is designed for, and it seems to do that fairly well. I've also set up ways in a new version (not yet up here) to handle default reputations based on race as well (so you can have a guild of elven archers who keep out all but elves from certain places but allow the elves to pass). Make sense?
