Hi,

Can anyone tell me that how elven racial bonus of +1 THAC0 on longswords and bows is implemented in IE games?
It seems it's not in a 2DA or an EFF. Is it done by the main program?

Thanks in advance. :)

It's not there in BG2, the IwD2 has this kind of things, but the system is signifigantly different in the two games... so it can't easily be done in BG2, unless you make it 'item ability', which is hard to code and potentially restricting. But it can be made possible in via a mod... just don't ask how.

Elves get the THAC0 bonus with all swords and bows in BG2 (but not daggers). If you use Taimon's restored-detailed-attack-rolls code injection thingie, you see it as a +1 "racial" bonus.
I think it's handled by the executable.

Yeah, it's hardcoded (based on item category, I believe).
