There is a guide for "PrC Making" in the manual.

1/3)I would just add a top hak (i.e. on the top of the list in the toolset) and add the modified version of the 2da (and any other changes) to that hak. The order of the list determines priority of content with multiple instances without making it a pain to revert or risking to make the prc haks incompatible with other modules using the prc.

You can also just install the prc normally and later swap the contents of haks with modifications you made.


2) Sounds like it should work.

Also, it's possible that the feat itself has some limitations to only work with the class it was written for. I think this one does it with local variables in the tob_jpm_*.nss files inside the prc_newspellbook.hak. Those local variables are set in the tob_jpm_spell.nss so it's possible that it won't be a problem.

3) You don't need to make a fresh copy, you can add haks in the toolset or juse nwhak.exe at any time to change the already installed haks. The only problem is that some changes don't register in old save games and you need to restart the game to check if changes are working. At least that is my experience.

What module are you playing? I haven't really played the class but at least I never got my feats at the wrong level. That I can't pick a second insightful strike at lvl 12 happens for me, too, though. Looking at the code in prc_enforce_feat.nss, I can't quite figure out why.

Do you have all the prc files in the right folders in your nwn directory?

If anyone still wants a fix for Skirmish with ranged weapons (actually, it worked with darts etc.), I found what was wrong with the script.

oItem          = GetSpellCastItem();

GetWeaponRanged() function doesn't recognize projectiles so I added another condition to account for all ranged projectile weapons, throwing weapons and melee weapons:

if(GetLocalInt(oPC, "ScoutSkirmish") && ( GetWeaponRanged(oItem) || IPGetIsProjectile(oItem) || IPGetIsMeleeWeapon(oItem)) ) 

I had to add functions to make the damage type change adapt to the ammo/base weapon type (it was going for magical damage due to ammo not having a damage type itself) but there might be more elegant ways to do that and anything else I did but for now all the weapon types I tested (slings, crossbow, bow, dart and a handaxe) worked fine.

I also applied the Eventscript to each ammunition slot (was too lazy to do if conditions for each case):

AddEventScript(oAmmo, EVENT_ITEM_ONHIT, "prc_scout", TRUE, FALSE);

I am not sure how important it is to remove each instance of the EventScript at the end so I left it out for now, that might be something to look out for.

What do you mean when you say it's corrupt? Did you follow the steps and try to add it to the prc_scripts hak?

I checked the .nss file and assume that the problem is that the issue is that it tries to do CICraftCheckCraftWand instead of CICraftCheckCraftRod for rods. If that's all, it would be relatively simple to compile the fixed script.

Did you install NWN + expansions, patch to 1.69, run the prc module updater and add both the prc pack and the OC fix to the OC campaign?
