Mannast Simplified Base Module

Looks interesting. A few years ago I tried out some of your CRP adaptions so I'll take a gander at this.

On a side note, please zip all files as that preserves the date -- being a poor man's version control system.

Is it compatible with CEP 2.65 ?

And when I export all ressources of your mod, I have missing ressources :

start_chk_lv.nss
stage_maker.ncs
sparky_inc.ncs

I'm sorry, but I can't get the "training" part of the mod to work. Could you put in the module an example with an NPC doing this?

EDIT after somes tests :

I put the right class to the trainer, the script on trainmod_onlevel seems to work,  I have activated the script in module_variables, I get 50PO removed when I ask to be trained,

But, nothing happens with

TrainPC(oPC, nTrClass, nPCLevel, oNPC);

in trainmod_train

Same probleme with placeable and train_dev. On the other hand, with the trigger (train_toggle, train_toggle_x) it works.

Thank you for your work

EDIT 2 :

I found the problem. In trainmod_train, at the end of the script, a small error occured.

        if(CRP_USE_COINS!=1)//NWN Gold
            TakeGoldFromCreature(nCost, oPC);
        else //GenericCoinsMakeChange(oPC, nCost);
        TrainPC(oPC, nTrClass, nPCLevel, oNPC);
}

change the line with the else to :

// else GenericCoinsMakeChange(oPC, nCost);

EDIT 3 : with the { } after all if or else, it's even better (encoder reflex ;) )

....

        if(CRP_USE_COINS!=1)//NWN Gold

{
            TakeGoldFromCreature(nCost, oPC);

}
        //else {GenericCoinsMakeChange(oPC, nCost);}
        TrainPC(oPC, nTrClass, nPCLevel, oNPC);
}

EDIT 4 : Another problem. The impression that you can train with a trainer with a class you are not allowed to take. This will suddenly cause a loss of level because the script then waits for us to level up with the class chosen with the trainer, but this is not possible.

EDIT 5 : Ok that's fine, then just go talk another trainer, this will delete the bad training taken before. Good to know.

Hi i continue to investigate your scripts. I just tested Placeable Portables, it's really super interesting.

Here is an example of use on my own projects (OnEntering Trigger with Variable "pp_waypoint"). The possibilities are enormous.

Here for add persistance in the scripts

#include "pp_inc"
void main()
{
    string      sLocation = GetLocalString(OBJECT_SELF, "pp_waypoint");
    object      oWaypoint = GetWaypointByTag(sLocation);
    location    lLocation = GetLocation(oWaypoint);

    object oPC = GetEnteringObject();

    string sTag;
    object oItem1 = GetFirstItemInInventory(oPC);
    object oItem2;

    while(oItem1!=OBJECT_INVALID)
    {
        sTag = GetStringLeft(GetTag(oItem1),5);
        if(GetHasInventory(oItem1))
        {
            oItem2 = GetFirstItemInInventory(oItem1);
            while(oItem2!=OBJECT_INVALID)
            {
                sTag = GetTag(oItem2);
                if(sTag=="ppig_")
                {
                    ppItemGeneric(oPC, oItem2);
                    pp_createcopy(oItem2, lLocation);
                }
            }
        }
        else if(sTag=="ppig_")
        {
             ppItemGeneric(oPC, oItem1);
             pp_createcopy(oItem1, lLocation);
            }
        oItem1 = GetNextItemInInventory(oPC);
    }
}

For persistance, an another script is necessary for respawn placeable and destroy it after delay. See here : https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Respawn_chest

I also looked at AID Tools and saw that there was a "canpush" variable too to move a placeable. But I have not yet tested.

EDIT : a little problem, anyway, with this system. When I click on the portable placeable too quickly, I don't produce 1, but 2 items in my inventory (maybe even 3 if I'm very fast). The placeable disappears too slowly and I have time to click on it again before it's destroyed. By doing it several times in a row, by putting them back down, I can therefore multiply the number of placeable units to infinity. It poses a problem.

EDIT2 : The solution with your OffScript variable :

void main()
{
    object oPC = GetModuleItemAcquiredBy();
    object oItem1 = GetFirstItemInInventory(oPC);
    object oItem2;
    string sTag;

    int iItem = 0;

    while(oItem1!=OBJECT_INVALID) {
        sTag = GetStringLeft(GetTag(oItem1),5);

        if(GetHasInventory(oItem1)) {
            oItem2 = GetFirstItemInInventory(oItem1);

            while(oItem2!=OBJECT_INVALID) {
                sTag = GetTag(oItem2);

                if(sTag=="ppig_") {
                   iItem=iItem + 1;
                    if (iItem>1){
                    DestroyObject (oItem2);
                    iItem=iItem - 1;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        else if(sTag=="ppig_") {
            iItem=iItem + 1;
            if (iItem>1) {
                DestroyObject (oItem1);
                iItem=iItem - 1;
            }
        }
        oItem1 = GetNextItemInInventory(oPC);
    }
}

The check with oItem2 (for bottomless bag for example ) is maybe not necessary. But this script resolve the bug.

Glad to help you. I have a question, still on the portable placeable system.

The generated tag is in the form ppig_xx

Is it possible to have a different TAG for the system with rope (rope_xx for example) and the generic portable placeable  (ppig_xx) because that created some problems, one being intended to be kept in the inventory, the other being rather used occasionally I think in games. I tried to modify the scripts, but there is so much that it was complicated, not succeeded without breaking the system.

Thanks

EDIT : A solution, but not very elegant.

- In crpi_rope, change

string sPPTag = "ppig_"+IntToString(nPPCount);

to

string sPPTag = "rope_"+IntToString(nPPCount);

- In pp_inc

copy all function

object    PickUpObject(object oPC, int NoOffScript = 0, int NoTest = 0);

to

object    PickUpObjectRope(object oPC, int NoOffScript = 0, int NoTest = 0);

and change the following line :

string sPPTag = "ppig_"+IntToString(nPPCount);

to

string sPPTag = "rope_"+IntToString(nPPCount);

- Copie the pp_place_up script to another name and change the PickUpObject function to PickUpObjectRope

- In the toolset build, change the Rope and Hook Placeable to OnUsed your new script

- In wrap_mod_unacq

add

if(sLeft=="rope_")
    {
    ppItemGeneric(oPC, oItem);
}

And I think I forgot nothing

Hello,

I continue to explore your scripts.

A quick question about OMW. On the placeable, in your text you do not give information about High Jump and Long Jump (SKILL 6 and 7). And if not, would there not be, for a simple jump, the possibility of changing the animation? She's awful. The player jumps from 20m high to the ceiling. Not very realistic.
 

Otherwise, maybe, a suggestion for improvement on the trigger. In the int DSTCheck, add :

            location lLocation ;
            string sLocation = GetLocalString(OBJECT_SELF, "OMW_WP_LOCATION");
            if (sLocation == "") {
                lLocation = GetLocation(OBJECT_SELF);
            }
            else {
                lLocation = GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag(sLocation));
            }
            oCreated = CreateObject(iObjectType, sResRef, lLocation, TRUE);

...

Maybe also add the saving throw detail on a success as text info.

Thank you.

Hi and yes me again ^^

I have some questions about Arcane Spell Components.

First, not all spells are present. I think only half of the spells are listed and therefore require a component. Why ?

Then there are some listed spells that cause concern. Some just don't exist. Here they are :

- CLOAK OF CHAOS

- DARKVISION (it's not a spell, it's a feat)

- SHIELD OF LAW

A few exist, but not in their greater version

- GREATER EAGLE SPLENDOR

 -GREATER BULLS STRENGTH

 -GREATER CATS GRACE

 -GREATER FOXS CUNNING

 -GREATER OWLS WISDOM

Finally, concerning the following spells, they do not exist in detailed version, only in version "against the alignments"

 -HOLY AURA

-UNHOLY AURA

 -PROTECTION  FROM CHAOS

 -PROTECTION FROM EVIL

 -PROTECTION FROM GOOD

 -PROTECTION FROM LAW

 -MAGIC CIRCLE AGAINST CHAOS

 -MAGIC CIRCLE AGAINST EVIL

 -MAGIC CIRCLE AGAINST GOOD

 -MAGIC CIRCLE AGAINST LAW

Here, I think that concerning these spells it requires some additional explanations.

Thanks...

Hi, me again ^^

In the death system, maybe specified that if you want to respawn in place (for tests for example), you must put in module_variables

DeathSystem to 1 (not 0)
and
RespawnWP on something, anything, but not nothing "" or the TAG of your respawn WP

because it's not very clear and I searched a bit.

Hi.

In the Climbable Pit Trap Triggers, I think the reset gets stuck when using the grappling hook and rope. It's normal, you will say to me, but the problem is that it does not start again when you remove the grappling hook and rope from the pit. Ideally, the reset would resume, after we remove it.

Thanks

Hello,

I think in the "staff_trigger" script making the placeable "plc_weathmark" permanent is not a good idea. Here is a suggestion:

void CleanUpTrap(object oTrap, object oActivator, location lTrap, string sTagTrap)
{
object oMark = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, "plc_weathmark", lTrap, FALSE, sTagTrap);
DestroyObject (oMark, 60.0f);
SetTrapActive (oTrap, FALSE);
if (GetTrapDisarmable(oTrap)) SetTrapDisabled(oTrap); // some traps are not disarmable, like pit traps
}

and in void OnActivate, add:

line 79: string sTagTrap = GetTag(oTrap)+"_fire";

line 155: DelayCommand (2.0, CleanUpTrap (oTrap, oActivator, lTrap, sTagTrap));

Hello, in crp_spk_doors, I think that the possibility of being able to spike any door is not compatible with multiplayer ^^

Maybe add a variable test to only be able to spike some specific doors. That's what I did on my side anyway.

int iFlagDoor = GetLocalInt(oDiscover,"SPIKE_DOOR");
    if(GetIsObjectValid(oDiscover)) {
        if(iFlagDoor==0){
           SendMessageToPC(oSearcher, "You can't spike this doors.");
            return;
         }
         else {
            if ((GetDistanceBetweenLocations(GetLocation(oDiscover), lLoc) <= 2.0f))// && GetLocalInt(oDiscover, "LISTEN_DC_MODIFIER") != 0)
            {
                oDoor = oDiscover;
                //SetLocalObject(OBJECT_SELF, "PAW_TARGET", oDoor);//this was for PAW scripts
            }

...

I was wondering if it was possible with the throw script for a trigger to detect if an object had been thrown on it. The possibilities of mechanisms would be enormous.

I feel like you left the option to do this when I watch the script, but I'm not sure how to do it

For example with :

                if (GetTag(GetEnteringObject()) == "throwbag")
                 {...}

nothing is happenning.

EDIT :

Ok I found the problem. At the very end of the script, add the EnterTrigger function provided for this purpose.

DelayCommand(0.1, MoveItem(oThrow, oDrop, lTarget, oPC));
DelayCommand(0.2, EnterTrigger(oDrop, lTarget));
DestroyObject(oDrop, 1.8);

Now your triggers detect any thrown object. Lots of puzzle possibilities. :D

EDIT 2 sometimes EnterTrigger does not work. I do not understand the reason. In one area it will work and exactly the same elsewhere will not work. Weird.

Hello,

In map_digitup2, on line 49, remove the "string" declaration.

if(sTag != "map_digitup2")//"map_digitup2_<ident>" it is an extended tag for unique id
    {
    int nTag = GetStringLength(sTag)-13;//the front of the tag is 13 letters long
    string sIdent = GetStringRight(sTag, nTag);//This gets the remainder of the tag
    }

otherwise adding with unique tag and IDENTITY will not work.

Always in map_digitup2, in the script the variable for new tag is ITEM1NEWTAG, ITEM2NEWTAG etc... but in the WP_SHOVEL_MAP it's ITEM1TAG, ITEM2TAG etc...

I took a long time to understand why it was not working. The difference is not immediately obvious ^^

EDIT : There is also a problem with this condition in scripts when you use the extra tag system:

if(GetUserDefinedItemEventNumber() != X2_ITEM_EVENT_ACTIVATE) return;

You must also add what you have added in wrap_mod_onact, otherwise the first use of the item is blocked (return)

Therefore :

    object oSelf = GetItemActivated();
    string sTag = GetTag(oSelf);

if((GetUserDefinedItemEventNumber() != X2_ITEM_EVENT_ACTIVATE) && (GetStringLeft(sTag, 13)!="map_digitup2_")){
return;}

same with map_digitup and shovelit

Hello, I have a problem with your NW_C2_DEFAULT9 modification. The X2_L_SPAWN_USE_AMBIENT and X2_L_SPAWN_USE_AMBIENT_IMMOBILE flags appear to be broken. If I go back to the default nw script, it works, but not with the Mannast script.

Anyway this is a big problem because this flag is also the default behavior of all creatures resulting from an encounter, which does not work.

I checked this is not from nw_c2_default1, even though this line looks weird to me too:

if (GetHasEffect (EFFECT_TYPE_SLEEP) && 0) // disable this if using aww_WalkWayPoints

Have you changed anything on this with AWW?

Besides, the whole description of the "Advanced Walk Waypoints and Puttering" system is really not very clear, I think you should rewrite it and explain it better.

Thanks

EDIT :

Well, I investigated the problem a little.

It comes from this line: SetWalkCondition (NW_WALK_FLAG_CONSTANT);

And I also think that it is not necessary to make aww work, since we have the possibility of triggering this line of script via variable (this being the default value).

Note that I did not understand why the lines

SetSpawnInCondition (NW_FLAG_DAY_NIGHT_POSTING);

SetSpawnInCondition (NW_FLAG_AMBIENT_ANIMATIONS);

are uncommented.

For the first, maybe it's necessary to make aww work, I don't know, but for the second, it duplicates the flag X2_L_SPAWN_USE_AMBIENT which is not logical (especially since I just say so, it doesn't work with the SetWalkCondition line).

Thanks for the changes in v0.3. ;) After a little break, I'm going back to it too :)

Hello,

With the dig and bury persistent system, I think there is an interaction bug with the map WP who creates objects, in some circumstance (open the inventory hole, an item is created, no take the item, close the inventory and re-open the inventory hole, you have now 2 items). So I suggest adding in the shovel_oc script

        int nCount=0;
        object oWPTag = GetNearestObjectByTag("WP_SHOVEL_MAP",oPC);
        string sItem1TAG = GetLocalString(oWPTag,"ITEM1TAG");
        if (GetTag(oItem) == sItem1TAG){
            FloatingTextStringOnCreature("You see an object", oPC);
            SetLocked(oChest, FALSE);
            AssignCommand(oPC,ActionInteractObject(oChest));
            CevForceCompleteActions(oPC);
            return;
        }

Perhaps another method would be to not create the object in map_digitup2 if it already exists or to destroy the inventory before creating the object.
