 I am using the NESS system, and love it. However, when it comes to making a mod persistant, there is a funtion the NESS does not have, that I believe would make things much easier. Can new funtions be added to the NESS? What I am looking to add is Month to it. It already had day, and hour, So it should not be terriblly complicated.

Has anyone already done this? can you share your code?

Thanks!

Are you referring to NESS's GetReal... functions?

Or are you referring to the TAGs which determine at what time a creature spawns? If so... yes, this is possible, but I don't think I've implemented it yet. I am considering this though....

But anway, yes, functions and tags can be added to NESS. I've been tweaking it to serve my purposes without any bad side effects so far.

Yes, I am looking to add the TAG of Month, to the NESS.

What version of NESS do you have? And have you made any changes to it?

Thats probably the same as 8.1.3.

As you know I am currently working on PRR and AI, but I should be able to get to this soon enough.

I am using NESS 8.1.3.
It appears that I figured it out for myself!

I added the following lines, causing the existing ones to move down:
In the script: spawn_defaults
52 // MMn|Tn
53 // SpawnMonth
54 int nSpawnMonthStart = -1;
55 int nSpawnMonthEnd = -1;
233 SetLocalInt(oModule, "df_SpawnMonthStart", nSpawnMonthStart);
234 SetLocalInt(oModule, "df_SpawnMonthEnd", nSpawnMonthEnd);

And in spawn_Functions:

243 int dfSpawnMonthStart = GetLocalInt(oModule, "df_SpawnMonthStart");
244 int dfSpawnMonthEnd = GetLocalInt(oModule, "df_SpawnMonthEnd");
463 int nSpawnMonthStart = GetFlagValue(sSpawnName, "MM", dfSpawnMonthStart);
464 int nSpawnMonthEnd = GetSubFlagValue(sSpawnName, "MM", "T", dfSpawnMonthEnd);
465 if (nSpawnMonthStart > nSpawnMonthEnd)
466 {
467 nSpawnMonthEnd = -1;
468 }

474 SetLocalInt(oSpawn, "f_SpawnMonthStart", nSpawnMonthStart);
475 SetLocalInt(oSpawn, "f_SpawnMonthEnd", nSpawnMonthEnd);
1183// This Function Checks if nCheckMonth is Between Months
1184 int IsBetweenMonths(int nCheckMonth, int nMonthStart, int nMonthEnd)
1185{
1186 if (nMonthEnd > -1)
1187 {
1189 if (nCheckMonth >= nMonthStart && nCheckMonth <= nMonthEnd)
1190 {
1191 return TRUE;
1192 }
1193 }
1194 else
1195 {
1196 if (nCheckMonth == nMonthStart)
1197 {
1198 return TRUE;
1199 }
1200 }

1201 return FALSE;
1202}

3203 int nSpawnMonthStart = GetLocalInt(oSpawn, "f_SpawnMonthStart");
3204 int nSpawnMonthEnd = GetLocalInt(oSpawn, "f_SpawnMonthEnd");

3279 // Check Against Specific Month(s) (_MMnn_)
3278 if (nSpawnMonthStart > 12)
3279 {
3280 int nMonth = GetCalendarMonth();
3281 if (IsBetweenMonths(nMonth, nSpawnMonthStart, nSpawnMonthEnd) == FALSE)
3282 {
3283 nSpawnBlock = TRUE;
3284 }
3285 }

Good job, Shova. That looks about right, but I haven't tested it yet.

Continuing to test this in game, so far it works, In game it is winter, and only winter month spawns are spawning. Since my game time is set to 15 real minutes = 1 game hour, spring is a ways off.

SHOVA, you probably found the part missing from your above code already, but for those following along at home...

You need to add a section of code in spawn_main which calls isBetweenMonths similar to the one in spawn_functions.

Here is a complete patch which does the Month change from SHOVA including the minor fixes and documentation. It also adds the ability to have the hours wrap which is something I wanted. They just went in together. The hours change allows you to have a child spawn from say 22 to 02 of the next day, useful late night activities.

(let's see if this formatting works - if not and there is interest I can try something else)

That's really cool. Any objections if I utilize that in my own module?

No objections on my part. Please use it. That's why I posted it :)
