Primogenitor's Scipt Changes Pack v1.08
This is a set of various small scripts. Each set is in its own subdirectory which contains a set of raw script source files (.nss) and/or an erf file to import into modules. To use this in a module, simply import the erf. Or you can use the source files to compile with the command line compiler. Or you can drop the files into the modules/temp0 directory while the module is open in the toolset.

Several of these sets are compatible with the Player Resource Consortium v2.2a. These should not be used in modules without the PRC and non-PRC compatible sets should not be used in PRC enabled modules.

There are also some script for use with NWNX-Letoscript. These will only work if NWNX2 and NWNX-Letoscript are installed and working correctly, the script is modified to point to the correct location on the hard disk, and the module is run using NWNX2 as a servervault game (i.e. "Allow local characters" is disabled). NWNX2 is avaliable from http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/other/data/1046636009723.shtml and NWNX-Letoscript is avaliable from http://sourceforge.net/projects/leto/.

Some sets have a local varaible that can be set on the module to change its effects. For example, the Multisummon set can be altered to use Pen and Paper (PnP) timings or left at bioware timings.

Included is a demonstration module where you can trial some of these systems. Though the demo has additional features if NWNX2-Letoscript is running, it does not require it. The module needs the NWNTimestop.hak file from the "NWN Timestop" directory to be in the hak directory.

Below is a list of the sets and how they differ from normal play.


PRC Multisummon
NWN Multisummon

Allows multiple simultanous summons by adding them as henchmen rather than true summons. 
Switch to PnP Durations (normally 1 round per level) by setting the module local int "PnPSummonDuration" to 1.


PRC TrueSeeing
NWN Trueseeing

Replaces the TrueSeeing effect with SeeInvisible, Ultravision, and a skill bonus to spot. This means that you can no longer see individuals in stealth mode with True Seeing. The skill bonus to spot is specified in the module local int "PnPTrueSeeingSpotBonus".


PRC Timestop
NWN Timestop

Uses a Area of Effect rather than the real timestop effect. This means that play can continue in areas away from the caster. Switch to PnP Duration (1d4+1 rounds) by setting the module local int "PnPTimestopDuration" to 1.
This set also modifies the vfx_persistant.2da file, a copy is included in NWN Timestop.hak and PRC Timestop.hak. These should be copied to your NWN/hak folder and added to the module using the toolset. For the PRC Timestop scripts, the epic spell Greater Timesetop is also modified to use an Area of Effect. Greater Timestop is also influenced by the "PnPTimestop" variable, if 1 it is 2d4+2 rounds, otherwise it is 18 seconds. If the variable is set to 1, all spells that are hostile or that target something other than the caster or a location are stopped and the casters weapons will do no melee damage.


JAI v1.3 Summons

This replaces the bioware AI on summons with a slightly modified version of Jasperres AI v1.3 You need Jasperres AI v1.3 to use this. The summons will obey all the normal radial commands, but may not follow conversation commands.


PRC Demetrious UMD

This is a version of demetrious' script at http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/scripts/data/1070767090156.shtml that will use the PRCs caster level code. It doesn't work with innate abilities of PRC classes.


PRC original Harm & Heal
This reverts the PRC modifications to the harm and heal line of spells, so they now do unlimited damage/healing.


NWNXLetoscript includes

There are two includes here, one is a set of core letoscript interface functions, another contains functions for generating Letoscript code to pass to NWNX-Letoscript, and the third contains functions to retrieve data from an object that cannot be obtained any other way (such as specialized wizard schools). To use these files, you must modify the NWN_DIR constant to point to the location on your harddisk where NWN is installed. These files do nothing on their own, they must be incorporated into other scripts in order to work.


PRC NWNX Letoscript

This set of scripts should move the skin bonuses onto permanent character adjustments, so that item stacking over +12 is removed.

NPC Leveling

This contains functions to use the LevelUpHenchman function to dynamically level NPCs to a level chosen by the builder. This allows builders to cut down on the number of different blueprints for different levels of the same creature. See the comments in the script for details. This is best used along with the Random Equipment script. These files do nothing on their own, they must be incorporated into other scripts in order to work. They require the utility include to work. This should work with custom classes too, though beware that abilities that use module events will not work without further changes.


Random Equipment

This contains functions that will generate random unenchanted equipment on a creature appropriate for its skills and feats. For example, if a character has Weapon Focus(dagger) they will have a dagger, but if the also have Epic Weapon Focus (longsword) they will have a longsword instead. Same applies to armour and shields. See the comments in the script for details. These files do nothing on their own, they must be incorporated into other scripts in order to work.


NWN NPC Familiars & Animal companions

This will allow NPCs to use the Summon Familiar and Summon Animal companion feats to obtain familiars that are appropriate to their level and of a random type. However, the AI may not use these feats becuase the Bioware originals do not work.


Respawning Traps

This is an implementation of respawning ground traps. See the prgt_readme script in the example module for details.


Utility files
This contains:
He Who Watches 2da Cache
Figglesworth Arrays
Axe Murderers HexToInt
Alignment Checker
Random locaion in a circle

He Who Watches 2da Cache
This is He Who Watches' 2da cache system. It is here becuase it is used in several of the other systems. Full credit to He Who Watches.

Figglesworth Arrays
This is Mr Figglesworth's local varaible array. It is here becuase it is used in several of the other systems. Full credit to Mr Figglesworth.
Also included is my adaptation of this to 2-dimensional arrays.

Axe Murderers HexToInt
This converts a hex number as a string of format 0x#### into a base 10 integer.

Alignment Checker
Tests if an alignment is allowed by a class using the AlignRestrict, AlignRstrctType and InvertRestriction columns of classes.2da It accepts varaibles in base 10 only, so the HextToInt function should be used to convert them first.

Random locaion in a circle
By Mixcoatl. Returns a location from a random position inside a circle using random radius and angle.



There are also some utility modules I have developed. These automate specific tasks using NWScript.

Leto v3 List Maker
This is used to produce a lists.leto.xml file for use in Leto v3. See the _readme script for 
more information

Leto v4 List Maker
This is used to produce a lists.leto.xml file for use in Leto v4. It is undocumented, and does not cover all files. Leto v4 is still in development at this stage, this module was mainly designed for use with Moneo.

Description

Primogenitor's Scipt Changes Pack v1.9 This is a set of various scripts that I have produced. Several of them require the PRC (Player Resource Consortium) and/or NWNX-Letoscript. There is to much to list, but they range from utility includes to adjusted spells (including a local timestop).

I am trying to use the nwnx_leto scripts in this package. Included in the inc_letoscript script is #include"inc
_debug", which seems to hold the DoDebug function.
Did I miss a file?
I am not using PRC

Posted by BainIthron ( 66.87.xxx.xxx ) at 2006-06-26 14:30:56

I tried out the Leto v3 List Maker... tried making a list for PRC 3.0d haks...

loaded haks via PRC module updater, and tried manually also, both in dedicated server and single player... ran for a total of 1 hour, 45 mins... had no luck whatsoever... Primo, maybe you have a solution?

Posted by wilcoxon ( 65.25.xxx.xxx ) at 2006-06-08 09:39:59

Hmm. Looks like it does work even with the errors. My problem was I didn't leave the game running long enough. It appears to take quite a while to output the xml.

Posted by wilcoxon ( 65.25.xxx.xxx ) at 2006-06-08 09:32:05

I can not get the Leto v3 List Maker to work. With no added content (under 1.67), hb_inc_stages fails to compile with "UNDEFINED IDENTIFIER (NextStage)". If I move NextStage from hb to hb_inc_stages, then hb_inc_stages fails with "UNKNOWN STATE IN COMPILER" on PrintString(""+sName+"");. If I try running the module anyway, there is only a partial xml file in the log.

mmmh having trouble getting the v3 leto list generator module to work properly with 1.66 +prc 2.2c. or 1.66+ prc 2.3 alpha8/9

The list generated has the new skill entrys but that seems to be it, prc feats/races and spells are not being added.

(This is running the mod via dedicated server)

I caught the 1,000th download, must be some good stuff. :D I'll throw in a vote as soon as I get a chance to look over the files. Thanks Primogenitor!

Posted by Soulfiend at 2005-04-15 11:42:00

I use PrC 2.2c will this be of any help to me?
or is it part of that allredy?

wheres the hak for prc timestop?

is it missing in this version1.9?

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-10-15 04:55:00

Udated to v19 with compiled multisummon scripts for PRC 2.2a

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-10-14 02:36:00

Upated to v18 Mainly this now includes compiled forms for the PRC 2.2a things (except the summons), but the NWNX-leto code has been updated to work with PCs properly as well.

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-10-13 01:55:00

Gil-Thalas, sorry about the lack of response. I dont know is the answer. As Pain of Savlation pointed out scripts are serverside only. However, the timestop also uses an AOE object, but since that AOE is invisible by design, I dont know if the client has to have it or not. I suspect not, but I havn't had opportunity to test it.

Now PRC 2.2 is release, Im going to update all my PRC scripts to include compile scripts too, so they should work.

Posted by Pain of Salvation ( 212.47.xxx.xxx ) at 2004-10-12 20:42:00

Gil, scripts are server side only, the client doesn t have to have them in any form, so you can put any script on your module and it will affect all players without the need of any hakpak.

Primogenitor, looks like a great compilation of scripts. However, I have a question for you:

I want a PnP version of Time Stop as regards duration and inability to take hostile actions, etc. I saw that your versions have those limitations, but the PW that I am script hunting for does not want to require a hak pack. Do your scripts allow for a simple install into the mod or do they require players to download and install them as well?

Thanks!

i cant get the test mod to work at all..
the books for leto dont work for me.. the debug code says it got my name and lets me in the door but thats all it does for the leto area i use a book of wis it boots me i get back and no wis increase.. i even made a test mod with your includes and stil nothing got changed..

do i have to do soemthing to get them to work..

i changed the include file like it sayed to point to my stuff..

const string NWN_DIR = "C:/NeverwinterNights/NWN/";
const string MOD_DIR = "modules/"; //not sure what this really wants
const string DB_NAME = "NWNXLeto";
const string DB_GATEWAY_VAR = "NWNXLeto";

and then ran this script from a lever onused
#include "inc_letocommands"
void main()
{
object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
StackedLetoScript(SetName("New"));
StackedLetoScript(SetName("Name", TRUE));
//StackedLetoScript(AdjustAbility(ABILITY_WISDOM, 1));
RunStackedLetoScriptOnObject(oPC);

}

i tryed cominting out the setnames and uncomenting wis increace to still nothing

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-09-13 04:14:00

v17 is up. Includes alterations to the Timestop scripts so that you can't cast hostile spells, target other objects, nor do combat damage. Also has a basic NWNX-Letoscript and PRC combo, so that ability bonuses are applied to the bic rather than the hide. This means they count for prerequisites and can stack over +12.

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-09-03 07:57:00

Another update: v1.5 is now up.

No major changes. Added a couple of utility modules aimed at autogenerating list files for Leto.
Should have another update to the NWNX-Letoscript functions this weekend, should cover spells (known and memorized) and age as well as some systemic changes. Also should add the start of some NWNX-Letoscript Get functions, starting with GetSpellSchool.

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-08-09 06:55:00

updated again: Changed the NPC leveling functions to read from 2da's. Now they should use custom classes too, provided there are packages for them. This doesn't mean the AI will use the custom abilities, nor that they will work for NPCs.
Also re-organised the misc utility functions better.

Posted by godstuffus at 2004-08-08 11:50:00

Sorry about the double post. Good job with scripts. The module really helped. This is the best idea I have seen yet for changing races. Thanks for all the work you put in.

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-08-07 04:09:00

Updated again: Just inc_letoscript tweaked slightly. This will be the last NWNX-letoscript include update before I migrate to the unicorn engine and the new syntax. I will keep the build 18 code here, but it wont be updated any more.

Also, sometime this week I should post an updated NPC leveling include that can read from the 2da's so can cope with custom content automatically.

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-07-29 08:59:00

Now updated to v1.1 Not many major changes, just added an example module and altered the NWNX includes slightly. Should be even easier to use now.

Posted by Primogenitor at 2004-07-23 07:42:00

godstuffus: The NWNX-Letoscript includes are not a complete system like DAR is. They are intended more to make it easier for builders to use NWNX-letoscript without limiting the power avaliable to them. Soon the demo module will be complete enought to be released. I will make sure there is a race changing example included. Heres a simple example script for starters; this will add 1 point to a players strength, useful for replicating Baldurs Gates "Book Of Strength" item.

void main()
{
//get the PC
object oPC = GetItemActivator();
//add commands to the stack
//open the players bic in leto
LetoWorkWithPC(oPC);
//make the changes in leto
StackedLetoScript(AdjustAbility(ABILITY_STRENGTH, 1));
//save the players bic
LetoSavePC(GetBicFileName(oPC));
//no actual work has been done at this point
//its just been queued up
//now you boot the PC so you can modify their file
BootPC(oPC);
//then you do the changes when the player is offline
DelayCommand(0.5, VoidStackedLetoScriptRun());
}

Primogenitor

I think what you doing is great, but I am an idiot when comes to scripting. Is there anyway you could explain what to do with the race scripts in order to get them to work.

Is it like the DAR scripts in what event you apply them at? I know you change the directory in the inc_letoscript. Which events do you apply the scripts at?

I am working on PW that I will use your scripts. I know you are busy on the script, but could you give a little example of how to set it up. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all the work.
