Hello guys;

 

Im trying to make my character able to cast cleric and wizard spells while in druid's earth elemental form. Im messing up with Near Infinity however i cant find a way to do that. Anyone can help me how can i do it?

 

Thanks

Well, you can't actually cast wizard spells if you are a druid... now you can cast druid spells if you first open the shapeshifting spell and alter it so it only changes your animation, but doesn't give you the special features of the said shape. You do that by editing the spell, it's ability and the ability's #135 effect(one of the NearInfinity'es gives is the name "Polymorph 135"), you change the parameter1 from zero to 1, or the "Polymorph type" to that 1(Appearance only) instead of the 0(Change into). I personally use the NI(v1.33) w1.3.0, in other words from here, and so it has the clearer options.

 

Yes, you then need to give the spell additional effects that adds the elemental magic weapon if you think it's a needed feature, as well as all the resistances and save throw bonuses etc. Hmm, I don't actually use the NI to edit spell, item or creatures, but the DLTCEP, so I won't be able to help further with NI.

ok thanks for the info. I will change the appearance option then add the properties of elemental shape. By the way is dltcep easy to use as NI or hard?

Well, you have to learn how and where things are, but it's as user friendly as the NI.
You first of all need to setup the editor, you do that by giving it a random name, find the games own chitin.key files directory and then the "BG2Effects.dat" directory that's inside the editors own folder... and then remove the "Read only" flag from the Settings, and go too the edit section of each file type.

Thanks Imp its much appreciated. I will switch to DLTCEP see how it goes.

I have a new problem now. I used dltc to change "polymorph into specific (135)" parameter 1 to 1. (from change to appaerance only)

And im getting the visual of earth elemental and can cast spells. However when i press "Turn into natural form" innate ability, it still stays as earth elemental shape. The animation occurs but nothing happens, it doesnt change to my human form. I tried different parameter from 1 to 3, still no solution. Only if i use parameter 0 (the actual change one) i can change back to human form. Can you help me about this pls?

Hmm, the other way to get around that is just to change the animation(opcode #53),  and remove the polymorph effect(#135), as the new effect is removable with the same opcode(#53), but different variable at Parameter #2.

thks now its working

[ariakas]

wow this is getting weird. After the animation change back to normal human form, the avatar begins to act strangely. It waits a while during walking, shifts space randomly and boots of speed not working, it walks at normal speed. Dont know what is the problem

Is the problem lag(as in the screen doesn't update, but the game goes on) or something else. The 25 ways to reduce lag.

[ariakas]

No it isnt lag, the animation change back to human form makes it. The animation starts acting strange and speed enchancing not working

[The Imp]

Have you installed other mods... say like 1PP's avatar change script component ?

[ariakas]

I installed tobex, ascension, fixpack v10. No other addons.

[ariakas]

ok i think i fixed it. I discarded all animation change from spell, instead give them to the earth elementals conjured weapons. So when they are conjured i change. There seems no problem now.
