From the instructions (easy to miss):

* copy dialog.tlk from your NWN install to nwnprc/tlk/

@DM Heatstroke:
Seems to be it, but since whitespace is ignored that should be legal syntax and compile OK. Is the error with nwnnsscomp or clcompile?

I don't have an IDE nor the include files for this script. I did see this when looking at it (line 101):
if(!STARTING_GOLD)
{
...
}[color=#cc0000]        if (GetLocalInt(oMod,"GIVELEVEL") > 1)[/color]
if(GetLocalInt(oMod,"GIVELEVEL") > 1)
{
...
Looks like a copy-paste mistake. But it should also compile without error.

Hm, nope, no way to remove AoO's. Could edit the difficulty 2da for SP play.

DA is just bad unless int-based or very high level assassin/zealot. Even with the uber races an int-based DA build would only be moderately effective.

I only played with the warblade class for two minutes or so. But I hope I can be of some help.

1) Fixed the Weapon Aptitude conversation to give it the right choices and make them actually work.

Do you mean fixing the weapon names in the dialog? It was broken when I used it.

1) The Weapon Aptitude feat was partially implemented. It was trying to simulate Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, etc. for the aptitude weapon by adjusting the PC's AB and damage bonuses whenever a weapon was equipped or unequipped. I took a different approach: when a player chooses an aptitude weapon after sleeping, I check if they have the Weapon Focus feat for any weapon and, if so, add a property granting Weapon Focus for the aptitude weapon to their skin; ditto for Weapon Specialization, etc. Advantages to this approach are that it makes checking for weapon equip/unequip unnecessary, and it allows me to apply the Weapon Aptitude feat to feats that would otherwise be difficult to simulate accurately (e.g. Improved Critical with an already Keen weapon).

Assuming nothing is being overlooked here that seems to be a better choice.

My question: this approach makes it possible to apply Weapon Aptitude to feats the old implementation didn't attempt: Overwhelming Critical, Devastating Critical, and, I think, Weapon of Choice. Should it?

If the DnD feat definition says it changes all weapon-based feats, I'd say yes. Probably even class specific feats too.

2) Battle Ardor is supposed to add the INT bonus to the critical threat confirmation roll. Is this possible in NWN1? I know NWN2 has Power Critical, which adds a constant +4 to the threat confirmation roll, but as far as I can tell NWN1 has nothing similar, so I'm thinking it won't be possible. If not, what would be a reasonable substitute?

Nope. I think you would need to do something crazy like disable the Bioware critical system while replacing it with a script-based one.

3) Battle Cunning is supposed to add the INT bonus to damage against flatfooted foes. I haven't thought about this much yet, but does anyone have suggestions how to go about it? Or, if it's not possible, a substitute?

Should be able to use GetIsInCombat() for this.

4) Battle Skill is supposed to add the INT bonus to the checks to Trip, Disarm, Overrun, or Bullrush. I'm assuming in NWN Trip/Overrun/Bullrush all translate into Knockdown, and Disarm is Disarm, of course. If there's no easy way to change the check for this (I haven't really looked into this yet), maybe the Battle Skill feat could just be turned into the Improved Knockdown and/or Improved Disarm?

I don't think there's a way to hook into those feats.

5) Warblade is supposed to qualify for Weapon Specialization (and other fighter specific feats, if any) two levels later than a Fighter would qualify for them. How would this be implemented?

I'm not sure if you can add feat level-requirements to multiple classes. So maybe remove the requirement and verify it by script (but then they will see this feat even when they don't qualify) or duplicate the specialization feats for the warblade class.

6) I notice in cls_feat_warbld.2da that a lot of feats have GrantedOnLevel set to 99, some others others to -1. I think I've figured out that -1 indicates that the feat should be in the Warblade's Bonus Feat list, but what does 99 indicate?

-1 seems to grant/list the feat regardless of class level. I think 99 is only used to change the OnMenu option. (Are there other reasons to do this, anyone?)


P.S.: A suggestion: Can you change the aptitude dialog to either be activated by feat use or by a PRC Options entry? It was really annoying being prompted after rest.

To be quite honest that's such a simple modification that there is no conceivable way in which it won't work as expected.

You didn't say how it isn't working. I'm going to assume that the person compiled the script and didn't just stick the .nss file in a hak.

JoW&W should get its own spellbook. Did you try resting? Do you have 11+ in the spellcasting ability score? (It's WIS isn't it?)

SP mod.

Do you have any custom overrides installed? What PRC version is the server running? What PRC version are *you* using? Did you install patch 1.69?

Aside from a good alignment the only other requirement I can see is 8 points in the hide skill.
