I've been playing  warlock for a week now, till today where i had to get dark invocations ... after leveling up, actually i get to select them from the list , i even see them in the feats list of my char, but can't find them in the spell/invocation radial ..along with the other invocations ... is it a bug or just me ?!

prc => 3h
modules=> EN IV (cep2.3+prc)  // Crimson Tides of Tethyr (prc only)
Also gotta add, i have a lot of head models in override file ... not that i think there's a relation.

It seems that we have reached maximum number of entries in class radial-menu. It's quite strange - the last feat that appears in the Warlocks menu is Binding Blast (518th)  while sorcerers have over 2400 feats in cls_feat*.2da and they all seems to appear in class radial when selected :S

Any ideas, suggestions on how to fix this?

Divide them up with Subradials?  Put the Eldritch Blasts in the activated general feats with Knockdowns, etc?

I would rather see something like the cast spell radial. That has a offshoot for each spell level. That is the main issue I have with the radial spell book. Trying to find a specific spell when you don't know the icon for it and trying to find spells for a specif spell level.

I am not sure if you can mod new radial menus but you could create a feat that is used as a wrapper to cast level x spells.

I think I had a similar issue with Healer in 3.3H. The last 9th level spells, like dragon cloud, would not show up in radial menu. The feats were there however.

Breaking up the menus by spell levels would BE an AWESOME idea. That's how the hardcoded spell menu is. I can't believe no one thought of it before...which leads me to be its might not be doable =(

If this is doable, this along with the recent changes to spontaneous spell casting menus, and all the other improvements (not having to select spells for classes that know their entire spell list)....the PRC spell system is just as good as the hadcoded one, its becoming much more manageable, kudos.

As I said before if you cant edit the UI you should be able to create a wrapper feat for each level. There would be a level 1 spell feat that can be used to cast every level 1 spell. They would be sub-options like the power attack feat.

Their could be issues with my wrapper ideas as I have no experience adding new feats to NWN.

You can only have a max of five entries under a spell sub-radial.

Unfortunately, and feats with sub-radials are not dynamic - one can't change sub-radial options depanding on spells known :(

The strange thing about this issue is that the limit is different for different classes :|

Anyone know of a workaround to make them show up?

this issue seems related to classes with invocations somehow, since dragonfire adept feats/invocation, also got a similar problem. means the problem is elsewhere ?! :o

I'm testing this issue and will try to fix it as soon as possible.

I thought of a possible workaround if you can't solve it any other way.  There are 9 Warlock Invocations that have a 24 hour duration and provide a bonus.  While playing pen and paper I tell the GM to assume they are always on unless I say otherwise.  Make selecting those 9 powers give you an always on feat.  Step two is to move all eldritch blast and all related Invocations to the combat maneuvers radial.  Not a perfect solution but it would leave plenty of room for the rest of the Invocations.

Edited for grammar.

OK, I've fixed this issue and updated files on our vault page. The problem was caused by template "placeholder" feats - spell-like abilities that are not ready yet, but it is very possible I will add them in future. Anyway, it is solved. Sorry for the trouble.
