Where can I either make a character associated with my new module, or choose to use my existing character from the single player campaign (first choice would be best).

in NWN after chhosing the module to play, we chose the character to use. In my mdule, following the tutorials in the wiki, I've created enemies that are 'critter' difficulty, but they one shot my default character ("Jaden"?), even if I give him heavy armor and a battleaxe. 

I'd like to be able to create a PC that gets tied to the module, but I can't seem to see how to do this. I created a new character, and added it to the "_PC" group, thinking that would do it, but no luck.

Any help?

You can do various things in the character creation script - go through the same steps as in the game itself - rewrite it to give different origin choices - force the player to play a specific character, or even make the character play as a nug, if that's what you prefer.



There should be a "how-to" document on this somewhere - did you search the wiki?

http://social.biowar...cter_generation or if you want to write your own check the "chargen" events.

yeah, i've checked the wiki. I've spent a bunch of time following step by step instructions, but can't complete the quest it teaches me how to make, since my character gets one shotted.

CID-78, you put that as I was typing my response to Adinos. Looks perfect, thanks.



I'll need to dig deeper into the wiki, I guess, I didn't see that. Maybe I'll edit the main tutorial list to include that one, it seems pretty important.

 okay, so I wrote what looks to be the script:

#include "events_h"#include "global_objects_h"#include "sys_rewards_h"
void main(){    event ev = GetCurrentEvent();    int nEventType = GetEventType(ev); //extract event type from current event    int nEventHandled = FALSE; //keep track of whether the event has been handled     const int FORCE_AUTOLEVEL = 2;    switch(nEventType)    {         case EVENT_TYPE_MODULE_START:         {            PreloadCharGen(); //preloads resources needed for character generation            StartCharGen(GetHero(),0); //initiates character generation              object oHero = GetHero();
            // Make character level 10            int nTargetLevel = 10;            RewardXP(oHero, RW_GetXPNeededForLevel(nTargetLevel), FALSE, FALSE);            SetAutoLevelUp(oHero, FORCE_AUTOLEVEL);            break;         }    }    if (!nEventHandled) //If this event wasn't handled by this script, let the core script try    {        HandleEvent(ev, RESOURCE_SCRIPT_MODULE_CORE);    }}  

but the wiki page says "use the following script as the module event script", but going to file > manage modules > properties doesn't have an area to indicate this script should be run. I opened the variables ellipsis but still can't seem to find where to indicate that this script should run on launch.

yeah these forums are horrible in their implementation.

In the module properties inspector there should be a field named "Script", whose value defaults to module_core for new modules. This is where you specify the module's event-handling script. Event handling scripts are run whenever an event is sent to the object, and in the module's case it is sent the event "EVENT_TYPE_MODULE_START" when the module starts up so that's where you'll want to handle any startup stuff like this.



The variables property is where you can set the starting values for the module's local variables, which can be referred to by scripts later on. http://social.biowar.../Local_variable has some information on how local variables work in DA.

[ixobelle]

thanks, I'll dig deeper.

[ixobelle]

got it, using the first script on CID-78's link. It allows you to select a previously created character, and at least let's me live long enough to kill a few things.



thanks guys. If any mods take another peek in here, feel free to delete my above responses. I honestly can't edit them, or doing so seems to have no effect.
