I recently discovered that my spells.2da file works out of the override folder but not haks. That is, when it's in a hak (loaded first) custom spells, abilities, on hit casts, activated item spells, etc. all don't work. Putting the loose 2da in override fixes it, but I need to make it work from a hak file.
Wondering if anyone knows any possible causes for this behavior.
Since some 2da files work from hak (appearance.2da or baseitems.2da for instance) and others don't (spells.2da obviously), the most probable cause would be hardcoded.
Finally resolved this, turns out it had something to do with nwn2packer. Rebuilding the hak from scratch instead of updating files inside did the trick.
So 2da which are said to be incompatible with haks could work anyway?
Can't say for sure, but I do know that spells.2da is not one of the ones known to be incompatible with haks. I've only had one encounter with a 2da outright failing from a hak and that was related to packages.2da. Everything worked as normal but it didn't want to recognize changes to the row controlling which 2da it used for spell preferences.
