I added new kit to game(all is ok, tested, working etc etc).
Then i tried to apply it to NPC.

BEGIN ~Viconia: Priest of Shar~
COPY_EXISTING ~Viconi.cre~ ~override~
			  ~Viconi4.cre~ ~override~
			  ~Viconi6.cre~ ~override~
  WRITE_SHORT 0x244 0 // doesn't change
  WRITE_BYTE  0x246 ~%H!C_Shar%~ // the internal name of your kit, surrounded by %
  WRITE_BYTE  0x247 0x40 // doesn't change

Taken directly from tutorial. Intarnal name changed to mine.

Weidu said that he cant translate %H!C_Shar% or %%H!C_Shar%% to integer.

I deinstalled kit . Then installed kit and immediately applied it to NPC. Worked.

Not a real problem, tho i would be happy to know why it happens.



And here is the problem.
I want to modify NPC weapon profs. How can i do it?
Need to add one point to one prof and substract one from other. Also need to set few to certain numbers.

Thx in advance.

Weapon proficiencies are set by effects. There's an "Effects" tab in DLTCEP. If you don't know what DLTCEP is or how to use it, say so and I'll provide links .

[Hety]

I know how to use dltcep And i know how to alter effects But i got no idea how to alter em directly from tp2.

I understand that i can make cre files with changed kit/weapon profs/whatever i like and put it in override. Tho i want to edit profs directly from tp2(changing byte values).

Found answer to kit asigning problem here:

Workaround i posted above is the only way to do it

It is quite possible to scan kit.ids for a kit's number, assign that value to a variable and then patch a cre using that variable.

[Hety]

I c. Still not worth time imo.

Again, any ideas how to change weapon prof points by byte editing of cre files?

Try setting using the effects tab of the cre file and add #233 (0xe9) Stat: Proficiency Modifier [233] you set the points for masterery and styles for the critter.

This happens when you are trying to apply the kit before using ADD_KIT to add it to the game i.e. WeiDU doesn't know what the value of %H!C_Shar% is because it hasn't been declared yet by your ADD_KIT command.

Again. I do NOT want to overwrite .cre files. i want to patch em from inside of tp2.

Figured that out already but thx anyway
