Title: PRC Scripting Tutorials?
Post by: malonkey1 on May 26, 2012, 05:57:53 PM

Is there a singular source for the ins and outs of scripting for the PRC? Because I wanted to work in Incarnum-Based classes from the Magic of Incarnum sourcebook, but I don't know where to begin.

That would be Xwarren. :D

Has Xwarren published any sort of... Script compendium(?) for all the important scripts, variable, etc. at any point?

You can find basic PrC making guide here:
http://www.nwnprc.com/manual/english/content/prcmaking/manual_prcmaking_guide.html (http://www.nwnprc.com/manual/english/content/prcmaking/manual_prcmaking_guide.html)

I haven't published any tutorials, but if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them. Just tell me what would you do with your script.

I wanted to make the Incarnum System work, and I was going to use the Psionics PP system as the base for the Essentia Pool, and I was curious how Soulmelds might be implemented. Items?

Yes, I think Essentia Pool should be stored in the same way as psionic Power Points. For me Incarnum seems a bit simplier than psionics. And yes, I would go with items for now - I have to refresh my knowledge about meldshapers, but right now I don't see any other options to implement them in NWN.

What script, pray tell, contains the instructions for how PP are stored?

All core functions for psionic system are located in psi_inc_*.nss files (prc_include.hak). Power Point functions are in psi_inc_ppoints.nss.
