Hello! I've been reading up on the adding a new class tutorial on the Wiki, and I'm wondering if it's possible to add a specialization or class that is not available to the PC.  I want my new NPC follower to have a different set of spells and skills, but I don't want it to be available to the player upon creating a character.  Is there a way to do this or just a step I can skip in the tutorial to make this work?

Thanks!

You don't have to follow a lot of the steps in that tutorial.



All you need to do is add on to the CLA_ worksheet (you can add yours to the end, make sure Playerclass is 0), edit ABI_ worksheet to add the new abilities and edit the guitypes worksheet to add your new ability categories.



The background related files and script edits are required only for adding a class that the player can select.

The row id can be any high number, the higher the better to
avoid conflicts. The same is true to a point with the row id's;
row ids over 500,000 are not recommended at this time due
to a bug in how the game handles those.

Awesome, thank you for the help!

Will it still work to use the M2DA technique as described in the tutorial so I don't have to edit the game's CLA_worksheet directly?

[TimelordDC]

M2DA is always the recommended method. You just add the row you want to add to that - no need to have the original rows from the game's CLA_ worksheet. Same goes for the others too.

Great, that's super helpful! Thanks for the quick response.

The creating a new class tutorial doesn't really tell you how to link up the new spells you've created with the new class you've made. Can anyone clarify what that step(s) would be?

[ladydesire]

http://social.biowar..._Spell_Tutorial This should cover that part for you.

So setting the Ability int in the guitypes_xxx.xsl that I've made will assign it to the class, yeah? I guess I'm worried because setting that value would mean changing the 2da_constants_h as directed in the class tutorial.



Is there anyway to make a separate 2da_constants that adds my class and doesn't tamper with the game's?

[ladydesire]

I thought I corrected that misconception when I edited the class tutorial; you should never edit core files unless you have no choice. There is one that I know of that you do have to change, but that's because the dascript compiler doesn't seem to recognize new includes in certain scripts. What you should do is create a 2da constants script for any talents you add for that class.

[madsabroo]

Yeah under the editing scripts section it says to change the core scripts directly. I think I'm still just confused on what I do and don't have to change, since I don't want this class to be available to Players but still want it to look normal when they level up the NPC.



I don't think it talks about adding the specific talents to the 2da or a new 2da in either tutorial.
