Craft Staff

[marquis_andras]

The majority of the time I try to put spells onto my crafted staff, I get the message "This spell can not be used with the Craft Staff feat". Is there a way to enable more spells to be put on staffs?

It may be in one of the 2DA files...I'm not sure.

It may be in one of the 2DA files...I'm not sure.

It's not in iprp_spells.2da.  I'm not sure what file or script controls that.

Craft Staff feat shares the same restrictions as Craft Wand feat - only 4th or lower level spells can be added to a staff. You can change that by editing des_crft_spells.2da "NoWand" option.

If this bothers anyone else, the include file prc_x2_craft.nss can be edited to allow any spells for staves... I mean, what's even the point of epic staff crafting if you're capped at level 4?

Find the function CIGetIsSpellRestrictedFromCraftFeat:

Code: [Select]

int CIGetIsSpellRestrictedFromCraftFeat(int nSpellID, int nFeatID)
{
    string sCol;
    switch(nFeatID)
    {
        case X2_CI_BREWPOTION_FEAT_ID: sCol = "NoPotion"; break;
        case X2_CI_SCRIBESCROLL_FEAT_ID: sCol = "NoScroll"; break;
        case X2_CI_CRAFTWAND_FEAT_ID:
        case X2_CI_CRAFTROD_FEAT_ID:
        case X2_CI_CRAFTSTAFF_FEAT_ID: sCol = "NoWand"; break;
    }
    return !!StringToInt(Get2DACache(X2_CI_CRAFTING_SP_2DA,sCol,nSpellID));
}edit it to this (comment out everything but the last line and replace sCol in the last line with "NoScroll"):

Code: [Select]

int CIGetIsSpellRestrictedFromCraftFeat(int nSpellID, int nFeatID)
{
    /*string sCol;
    switch(nFeatID)
    {
        case X2_CI_BREWPOTION_FEAT_ID: sCol = "NoPotion"; break;
        case X2_CI_SCRIBESCROLL_FEAT_ID: sCol = "NoScroll"; break;
        case X2_CI_CRAFTWAND_FEAT_ID:
        case X2_CI_CRAFTROD_FEAT_ID:
        case X2_CI_CRAFTSTAFF_FEAT_ID: sCol = "NoWand"; break;
    }*/
    return !!StringToInt(Get2DACache(X2_CI_CRAFTING_SP_2DA,"NoScroll",nSpellID));
}
Now you can also do custom wand levels, however rods won't be properly capped.  To do that, you gotta copy and paste this little guy:

Code: [Select]

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // check if spell is below maxlevel for craft want
    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    int nMaxLevel = GetPRCSwitch(X2_CI_CRAFTWAND_MAXLEVEL);
    if(nMaxLevel == 0)
        nMaxLevel = 4;
    if (nLevel > nMaxLevel)
    {
        FloatingTextStrRefOnCreature(83623, oCaster);
        return TRUE;
    }from either here or the wand crafting check function, and put it after this part in CICraftCheckCraftRod:

Code: [Select]

    int nLevel = CIGetSpellInnateLevel(nSpellID,TRUE);
    if(GetPRCSwitch(PRC_CRAFT_ROD_CASTER_LEVEL))
    {
        switch(nMetaMagic)
        {
            case METAMAGIC_EMPOWER:
                nLevel += 2;
                break;
            case METAMAGIC_EXTEND:
                nLevel += 1;
                break;
            case METAMAGIC_MAXIMIZE:
                nLevel += 3;
                break;
/*            case METAMAGIC_QUICKEN:
                nLevel += 1;
                break;
            case METAMAGIC_SILENT:
                nLevel += 5;
                break;
            case METAMAGIC_STILL:
                nLevel += 6;
                break;
These dont work as IPs since they are hardcoded */
        }
    }
then recompile prc_scripts.  Now you not only have uncapped staff crafting but can set the wand/rod level cap to whatever you want with switches.  I wouldn't recommend altering the brew potion max level unless you want to do extra editing of CICraftCheckBrewPotion to work properly with the master alchemist class.

edit: I suppose the quicker and dirtier method would be to simply move case X2_CI_CRAFTSTAFF_FEAT_ID: to the line before case X2_CI_SCRIBESCROLL_FEAT_ID:, but then you can't raise the wand/rod max crafting level.

Actually you only need to compile prc_prespell.nss after applying above changes
Thank you for the info.
