 Hey there everyone. I've been looking on the net for a guide or any information on how to build custom races. But of course, I've had very little luck, and all I seem to find is the first games guides. I was wonering if anyone knew of a guide, or could possibly give me a small explanation on how to, it would be great. Thanks for reading!

Use this program (works outside of Toolset): http://nwvault.ign.c...r.Detail&id=116

One of the files there for download is a tutorial on how it works. I was able to do things on my first try.

Thanks a lot Knigtmare.

I want to check for a cutsom race/subrace in a script.
The following data with the according entries are available (and these custom races are choosable and playable on Charater Creation):
racialtypes.2DA
47 Draconian Constant: RACIAL_TYPE_DRACONIAN
racialsubtypes.2DA
74 Kapak Constant: RACIAL_SUBTYPE_DRACONIAN
custom tlk

Now, in the toolset, these custom constants don't show up (HAKs + tlk are asigned to the mod)!
If I uncheck the "Show System Globals" box, no constants are displayed.

So, if I script something like:
if (GetRacialType(oPC) == RACIAL_TYPE_DRACONIAN), it's not compiled.

(Remark: The script works, if I set it to a default race, like RACIAL_TYPE_HUMAN and enter with a human.)

So, how do I detect a custom race/subrace in an OnEnter-script / how do I make the toolset to recongnize custom constants?

Edit: If I define this contant  (RACIAL_TYPE_DRACONIAN) in an eg. include script, will this be the connection to the constants defined within the racial...2da-s?

the constants refer back to the row# in each .2da

int RACIAL_TYPE_ELF = 1;

eg, means row 1 in racialtypes.2da

int RACIAL_SUBTYPE_MOON_ELF = 4;

eg, means row 4 in racialsubtypes.2da


The extra sub/races may be defined in an include or script, to avoid using a number, but need to remain consistent with the .2da's

edit, If RACIAL_TYPE_DRACONIAN is row#47, this should compile and detect that:

if (GetRacialType(oPC) == 47)

Fast answer, so I was able to continue to tinker and:

Refering to the row# works like a charm, regardless of the naming of the according constant in the 2da.
No include script is needed!

Even works nicely with the subrace:
if (GetSubRace(oPC) == [row# in racialsubtypes.2DA])

Thank you kevL!

[kevL]

hey yer welcome.

( Even if the constant isn't defined other than in the .2da, it's nice to have a comment what it is, like

if (GetRacialType(oPC) == 47) // RACIAL_TYPE_DRACONIAN

saves headscratching later,

Sorry for the slow reply. Busy day...

Yup, that's exactly, what I did!

Just for clarification (and I didn't have the time to test):
IF I want to use eg. "RACIAL_TYPE_DRACONIAN" instead of "47", will I need to set something like:
int RACIAL_TYPE_DRACONIAN = 47; in a (include or whatever) script, before it works within the toolset/game (even if it's defined within the 2da)?

And (maybe a stupid question) subrace-constant names should be individualized within the 2da to make sense, right? (ATM I just used the row# and ignored the contant naming - they are all the same for 3 subraces - and that works fine).

yep. It can even be put like that above "void main()", along where #includes are usually listed.

You're referring to the "Label" column(s)? Am quite sure that column is only for human-readability

Thanks for clarification on part 1

ATM in the racialsubtypes.2da, it says:
   Label                  Constant        

71 Baaz                   RACIAL_SUBTYPE_DRACONIAN

72 Bozak                  RACIAL_SUBTYPE_DRACONIAN

73 ...

74 Kapak                  RACIAL_SUBTYPE_DRACONIAN

As written: Using row#
works well. But to have it clean and open to use constant names, it
would make sense to name individually name the entries here, too (eg.
RACIAL_SUBTYPE_BAAZ, RACIAL_SUBTYPE_BOZAK, etc.), doesn't it?

oh ok, didn't see that

i guess you can test that column if you want to, by assigning the RACIAL_SUBTYPE_*

but I'm tending to the opinion it won't matter ... up to you, sir, although in some dim corner somewhere it could be getting referenced

[Dann-J]

I also suspect that 'Constant' column does squat. It might have been a handy reference for developers, or something left over from NWN1. It seems that half of the columns in the 2DAs (probably more than half) do nothing in NWN2.

Thanks people!
So I'll will individualize the subrace contants to be on the safe side (doesn't hurt) and stick with the row# to do the job, since that works nicely.
