A Prestige Class Wizard for Neverwinter Nights® 2.
Creates required 2da files (classes.2da and cls_pres_*.2da) for your new prestige class.
Tested with 1.0.5.912, 1.0.6.973.
This is beta, so there will be bugs and such...
[1.0.1.2]
= Added more sanity checks.
+ Added "How to: Create Custom Class Feat Table" - Word document.
[1.0.1.1]
+ v1.0.5.912 compatible.
+ Since the classes.2da file has changed, needed to add new field: "Bonus Caster Feat Class Map".
[1.0.0.2]
+Tutorial document added.
+Some minor fixes.
[1.0.0.1]
+Document added (working in progress).
+Added two programs from the PRC Editor:
* Skills_NWN2.exe: Creates the class skill 2da file. This tells game, which skills are class skills.
* BFeat.exe: Creates the bonus feat 2da file. This tells game, when PC gains addtional feat.
+ Hints. Pause your mouse cursor over some component and it'll display short description about it. Not all components have this.
- Installer removed, just copy the files where you want.
Oh, ok - that explains a lot - I guess it's part of a more general problem with custom tlks in NWN2?

Rheumy: Custom PrCs are broken in 1.05, AFAIK. You will have to wait until 1.06 is released to have it working properly.

Hi - I've been trying out the PRC editor - it's a great idea the interface seems pretty intuitive. I have come across a problem though. I gave it a test run on a custom PrC - the Bowmaster, giving the PrC the AA feat trees and bonus feats. Everything showed up fine in the level up screen: I appeared to get the bonus class feats and was able to select combat feats from the correct list. However, once I left the level-up process, I didn't have of the feats I was supposed to have received (according to the level-up screen). This was confirmed when I took a second level of Bowmaster: the level-up screen offered me a choice of combat feats including the one I thought I had taken at the previous level. I've followed the instructions extremely carefully a couple of times now; the wiz is very straightforward and I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything wrong. Is there maybe some variable that needs to be assigned to each feat in order to make it properly selectable by the new class? A couple of extra parameters in the 'requirements' section would be good, too - maybe the ability to define base-classes as pre-requisites, or requiring x levels of divine spell-casting(yeah, I know - if I was less lazy I could probably just stick those in the custom script field of the ) Anyway, a really great idea which I'm sure will be very, very helpful to PWs (like Shroud World) in the end. Thanks for all the effort you've put in so far.

"If you have time in the future you might want to consider adding a tutorial on how to create custom feat tables to include with the hakpak, as right now you're pretty much restricted to making combinations of the existing classes." --- I'll add that to my todo list. "I was wondering, however, how to get the official campaign to recognize my new PrC and let me select it when leveling up. I added it to a test module and it worked fine, so I know I've put it together right. Any advice?" ---- Copy the classes.2da file (and possibly the cls_pres_*.2da) to My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\Override. If you are using custom class names, then you'll need to edit to game's dialog.tlk file and add your entires to it and modify the classes.2da's to point in-game indexes instead of the custom (16777216>=) indexes. Modifying any game file can most likely break the patching / game. So backup.

Hey Ville, great work and it was super helpful. If you have time in the future you might want to consider adding a tutorial on how to create custom feat tables to include with the hakpak, as right now you're pretty much restricted to making combinations of the existing classes. Still, really helpful. I was wondering, however, how to get the official campaign to recognize my new PrC and let me select it when leveling up. I added it to a test module and it worked fine, so I know I've put it together right. Any advice?

@greencherry: Can you upload your module, hakpak and tlk files to somewhere, so I can take a look?
