Hi All,

When you click on a monster in teh toolset, you can tab to its "Special Abilities" section.

I wish to know two things:

1) Is there a 2da that lists how these abilities show in the tab list? (NB: Not the spells.2da) i.e. I want pointing to a method of adding my own Special Ability if possible.

2) Sometimes there are duplications of abilities in the list. E.g. Cat's Grace is listed twice. And Darkness and Invisibility many times. How can I determine which one to use? Do they use different scripts? (I guess answer to question 1 will help here.)

Many Thanks in advance.

Lance.

From my experience and creature abilities, custom AI is more likely to produce the results you want along with scripts that define your special abilities.

Hi Morbane,

I am doing this for some creatures, but thought I may be able to short cut the work by looking at the possibility of simply adding a(or editing an existing) special ability. ... if I knew where I could find the appropriate 2da.

hi Lance,

it is Spells.2da.

For example, when 2 identical entries appear in the Special Abilities list, find the STRREF of the first one in Spells.2da ( "Name" ), then search the .2da for duplicates. Adding entries to Dialog.Tlk in unreserved lines with more descriptive titles and re-referencing "Name" has been effective in clarifying what's what, on my end at least.

Hi KevL,

Thanks for that ... I did not think it was to do with the spells.2da, but I suppose the STRREF is probably different to what I was expecting in some cases then. There must be quite a few duplications that were not obvious to find.

And thanks for the link to the other post. I will take a look at that then.

Lance.

its Tedius, but sure was happy to see the new names come up on the list ...

i change them as i need them, have done over a half dozen so far,





edit, Dialog.Tlk might also have duplicate entries that throw a guy off the initial STRREF ..
