The goal of this project is to extend the standard Bioware/Obsidian's spellcasting system to look more PnP.
First of all, write down that this hak overrides ALL standard spell scripts, so you need to get the new version of the framework each time a new Obsidian's patch gets out. I generally update it during the week after the patch is out.
This hak is mainly intended for scripters who want to :
* Cast spells with a specific power (caster level, save DC, metamagic : silent, still and quicken are possible)
* Control the spellcasting action process thanks to events (enqueued, started, conjuring, conjured, cast, finished)
* Change a spell power before it is applied
* Use multiple metamagic features inside the same spell
* Get informations about active spells on a creature (caster level, metamagic, save DC, original caster)
* Get the real type of a spell (spell or like-like, supernatural, extraordinary, miscellaneous)
* Get miscellaneous informations about a spell (descriptor, name, spell school, sub-school, range)
* Get exact saving throws of creatures and items
* Make item cast spells with a specific power (caster level, metamagic, save DC)
* Enable/disable item properties on magical items
* Get informations about item properties (caster level, spell school)
* Get informations about items (magical or not, caster level, spell school)
* Make use of the upcoming Custom Spellbook system
It is also interesting for module builders and players who need :
* The PnP magic staff system
* The Detect Magic spell (wizard level 0) : A character detects magical auras (presence/absence, aura strength, spell school) and may even identify items.
* The Anayze Dweomer spell (wizard level 6) : Identify many items around a character or on a creature, and detect the active spells on a creature.
* The Spell Turning spell (wizard level 7) : Turn back their spells to your opponents.
* To make use of the Wild/Dead Magic zone system.
* To make use of the Custom Spellbooks system.

@Question2: Not at this point; I am planning to do those spells this weekend though.

Does this work with reeron's spell fixes and new spells from Kaedrin's PRC pack?

@LadyD - Thanks for the info. Question - How would one know which scripts were changed in the 1.13 patch? _________________________ Wild Mage Class 2DruNk2FraG's Homebrew Classpack Batch Compiler for NSSCLC

@2DruNk2FraG: I don't think those scripts have changed since the last time, so the spellcasting framework scripts for the last release should still work.

Hey there it's me again. In your latest update there 465 .ncs files with no .nss counterpart. If your update is organised by name these files start with nw_s1_rage1.ncs and end with x2_sp_is_sblue.ncs. I belive that in this format the files will run in game, but if they need to be recompiled due to a custom change in one of your base files, like jx_inc_magic, then this becomes problematic. Also, in your last version these files came with their .nss component. Please provide a these files as I do not know which ones contain changes from your last version.

Framework (finally) updated for compatibility with patch 1.12. @2DruNk2FraG I don't think I'll come back soon as I'm currently playing another game and enjoying it. _________________________ Spellcasting Framework Wild/Dead Magic Zone (Spellcasting Framework add-on)

Well, it takes more time than I first thought. About 140 scripts modified between MotB 1.11 and 1.12. I progress, but slowly... _________________________ Spellcasting Framework Wild/Dead Magic Zone (Spellcasting Framework add-on)
