SAY ~Samurai: The Samurai is a rare fighter in the realms. They have spent their lives training for combat in the path of righteous. Samurai's have studied combat wearing heavy armor and using two katanas simultaneously. A samurai is wise and intelligent, unlike the average thick-headed fighter. If some action is needed, as long as it serves the greater good, the samurai will take it.

Advantages:
  - A plus 4 to THAC0 for every three levels
  - A plus 3 to movement rate
  - An extra 1/2 attack/round every 4 levels
 
Disadvantages:
  - May not use shields
  - May only use slashing weapons, with the exception of the spear
  - may only attain Grand Mastery in Katanas and Scimitars. Other weapons are limited to High Mastery.

Requiremets:
  -Must be Human
  -Must be of Neutral Good alignment
  -Wisdom:10 Strength:15 Dexterity:12 Intelligence:8

This is my tp2 file. When i start setup it tells me there is a parse error in line 15, when i change things the parse error moves, what am i doing wrong. I know my description of the kit is most likely done wrong, so i need help with that to. If anyone has a better description for the kit i would gladly take it, mine was a three minute job.

[Idobek]

There is a ~ missing at the end of your description.

[Awake]

thank you TP2 Ninja :thumb: it appears that i forgot that and had some extra ones where i shouldn't have. wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't mention that last one.

Now i'm having trouble again, it says

error loading SamuraiKit/Samurai/samurai.2da

i hope there's a 2da ninja somewhere out there

this is my first mod, so i may have forgotten to make this file, i don't know what it is

these are the files:

You made the files and everything correct, but you didn't create the directory that the .2da was supposed to be in.

~SamuraiKit/Samurai/Samurai.2DA~

Also, you didn't list enough items for WeiDU to append to 25STWEAP.2da. I've included a zip with the modifications, I would recommend you change the duplicates I made in the 25STWEAP.2da into something more useful for the Samurai.

Happy Modding :^^:

thanks devilishpope. i now see what i was doing wrong. and if anyone wants to host this, i'll make sure you and idobek get in there for helping me out

[DevilishPope]

If you want hosting, just attach the final file to a post and I'll upload it to some webspace I have. I'm off to bed now though, so I'll get it in the morning.

[Awake]

excellent, i'll edit this post tomorrow then, when i figure out why the kit is going into the cleric class. thanks again

[CamDawg]

Please to not be using my reserved prefix, thanks.

[SConrad]

Please to not be using my reserved prefix, thanks.

I agree, you shouldn't use anyone else's prefix, but...

...Cam, see it as a compliment!

[CamDawg]

I like my mods to be compatible with others.

[SConrad]

I know you do. You should still think of it as a compliment, since he's obviously used one of your mods as an example, or followed your tutorial...

[Awake]

Yes, i did use your tutorial, and it was extremely helpful, thank you. I did change the prefix already, i wasn't really sure what that was, but it's changed now. Sorry.

[CamDawg]

Sorry, sorry, I'm very flattered my tutorials are used, I'm just not one to sing my own praises. My immediate concern was making sure our mods didn't conflict. Sorry if it came off sounding short or mean.

[Awake]

it's ok with me, i'm glad you told me, because i probably would have left it the way it was. I do have a problem though, your tutorial is for a cleric kit, but my mod is for a fighter kit. Is there something i did wrong, because everytime i load it on my computer, the kit is in the cleric class. and the alignment restriction isn't working. Nor are the stat restrictions.

[CamDawg]

The problem is with the ~K_C_H~ line. The K_x_x listing determines which classes and races have the kit available at character creation. K_C_H is the option for human clerics; human fighters are K_F_H. You can find a table of what K_x_x files go with which classes and races in KITTABLE.2da. I suspect the alignment and stat restrictions will go away once this is fixed, as I don't see any problems with the code.

[Awake]

something so simple, yet i was working so hard to figure out what it was. now, why aren't any of the restrictions i made working. I've gone over your tutorial, several times, yet i can't figure out why there not working.

[CamDawg]

Implementing unique item restrictions for a kit involves so many hacks to get around hardcoded features that it's generally not worth it. Right now you're using an unusabilty flag of 0x00000001 which allows the kit to use whatever a berserker can.

There's oly one way you could get those restrictions implemented, and it involves hacks which will introduce incompatibilities with mods like Sorcrer's Place Collection and Refinements, since they use the same trick. If you change another kit to use the same usability as its parent (i.e. changing the Helm kit to use generic cleric unusability) it gives you a free flag for your kit. You can then set this flag on all items in the game for which your kit should be restricted. Unfortunately, the drawbacks to this approach generally outweigh the benefits.

[Awake]

oh, i noticed in your tutorial you dislike weapon restrictions. Yeah, i totally understand why now. I guess i'll just change the disadvantages a little to balance it some more. thanks

Does anyone have any ideas for disadvantages for this kit? Anyone, anyone at all...

devilishpope, how am i supposed to upload the file, it's 260 kbs compressed in rar format.

Does anyone know what a good movement rate addition would be, one that would be noticeable. Is it possible to add a THAC0 bonus for using a certain type of weapon or weapon style for a kit. Such as gaining THAC0 in two weapon, or katana.

[Awake]

sorry about a new post, using fast reply. would it be possible to add an extra cleric kit, or something like that to make the new weapon restrictions, etc. One that's invisible, or just to copy an item on the kittable, or whatever it is and and modifying that?
