I can't get this one little modification to load in-game.

 

Here is my custom .tlk file. I added a single line to one I was already using.

 

 

Here is the last line of ItemProps.2da:

 

 

85         1         1          1          1          1        1        1            1        ****        ****        1          ****         ****          ****      ****      ****           ****      ****          ****            ****           1          1          16777226    Use_Limitation_Gender

 

Here is the last line of ItemPropDef.2da:

 

 

88       16777226  UseLimitationGender              gender             0       0                 ****           5523         ****

 

The .tlk is added to the test module, along with the hak with the two modified .2da files.

 

I get nothing under item properties.

 

This sort of modification is very new to me, so I'm getting frustrated and confused with all the .tlk instructions I've been reading and could really use some help clearing this up.

 

Thanks,

 

FP!

I haven't done this for about a year, but I think you need a related line in ItemPropDef.2da. Check that out a bit and how to work it on the wiki

[Fester Pot]

You good sir, are correct. My ItemProps.2da was not updated - it was being pulled in from Shdewood's hak - and after updating it, I've got everything to appear.

 

FP!

Alright!

 

Looking good. Certain articles of clothing are set.

 

Use Limitation: Gender: Female or Male.

 

Testing it out, simply has the Use Limitation after the description of said item, but a male character can equip clothing specific to a female rather than the item being red as it would be with Class Limitation. "You are not the correct race/class to equip this item."

 

I got the idea from Project Q, and loading up a PQ module and setting clothing with Gender Limitation provides the exact same results - it doesn't stop the opposite sex from equipping the item.

 

I'd like it to have the item be red with Gender Limitation and "You are not the correct sex to equip this item.".

Unfortunately the only way to put new use limitations in is by forcing them in the module's equip item script. IIRC CEP included a script to do that by default?

[Proleric]

The CEP script called OnItemEquipped is
 

Spoiler

//Function will check if oPC is the correct gender
//to equip oItem.  If not, it will force the player
//to unequip the item and inform them of the reason.
void ZEPGenderRestrict(object oItem, object oPC);
void ZEPGenderRestrict(object oItem, object oPC)
{
// ---------------------------------------------------
    // CEP Gender restriction property script
    // Searches the item just equipped for a gender
    // restriction property.  If it finds it, it will
    // check the PC's gender against the appropriate value
    // and de-equip the item if they are found not to
    // match.
    // ---------------------------------------------------
    //First we check if this has the item property: Use Limitation: Gender.
    //If so, we enter the if statment and check PC gender
    //vs. the item's limitation.  Else we continue out of the
    //function.
    if (GetItemHasItemProperty(oItem,ITEM_PROPERTY_USE_LIMITATION_GENDER))
        {
        itemproperty ipGenderProperty=GetFirstItemProperty(oItem);
        //We're not sure if the above property is the one
        //we want, so we'll check it vs. the Gender property,
        //and, if it's not it, loop through until we find it.
        while ((GetIsItemPropertyValid(ipGenderProperty))&&(GetItemPropertyType(ipGenderProperty)!=ITEM_PROPERTY_USE_LIMITATION_GENDER))
            {
            ipGenderProperty=GetNextItemProperty(oItem);
            }
        //If, after all that, the property is invalid for
        //some reason, we return.  Else we now have a property
        //with the data of the Gender restriction of teh PC's
        //item.
        if (!GetIsItemPropertyValid(ipGenderProperty)) return;
        //Next line is kind of long and wonky looking, but bear
        //with me as I'm doing this to cut out variables.
        //We're comparing the item property parameter value (gender
        //type) vs. the PCs.  Theoretically they use the same
        //scale...
        //If they are not the same, we de-euip the item
        if (GetItemPropertySubType(ipGenderProperty)!=GetGender(oPC))
            {
            //Not equal, so take it off!
            AssignCommand(oPC,ActionUnequipItem(oItem));
            //Tell PC why.
            string sMessageToPC= GetStringByStrRef(nZEPGenderRestTXT,GENDER_MALE);
            SendMessageToPC(oPC,sMessageToPC);
            }
        }
}

Just when you think you are getting to grips with what this site can do... Nice one @Proleric. So I'm guessing that the syntax for that (without the extra spaces is

 

[ s p o i l e r ]

[ / s p o i l e r ]

Okay, thanks everyone for the work around.

I don't know why Bioware opened up .tlk creation but failed to incorporate the little red box for use limitations, but perhaps it was an engine limitation. Regardless, it is what it is and at least now, male characters can't put on dresses!

FP!

What if you put points in cross-dressing like DeNiro in Star Dust?

[Tarot Redhand]

Or for a disguise to enable sneaking in somewhere?

TLK is just a localisation database - it's used in the main game to allow translated strings in various languages to be stored together in one big pack (ie so translating the game doesn't require changing stuff in a million different files).

 

The use limitations are a separate system entirely, that just happen to borrow strings from the TLK. Text you add to the TLK is just that - plain old text.

We certainly don't want to spoil anyone's fun! Unfortunately, custom content often only includes models for one gender, so Gender Limitation is a quick and easy way of preventing invisible body parts.

I was kidding, Proleric. I'm well aware that the way to make crossdressing work in NWN is to port the male version to the female side and the female version to the male side.

Transgender phenotype is a breeze to implement FWIW
