Spell and Conferred Ability Adjustments - I'd appreciate help from the community

[AndrewD2]

Alright, I think I have all the adjustments done for Ultimate Combat. Should I post them here or e-mail them to someone?

[Mathias]

Post them here, please. We're concentrating on the books that need to get done for July and August's releases, and we may not have a chance to incorporate these immediately. In the meantime, others can download and use your contributions.

So adding this here encase LW wants or anyone else. My players asked me to do a "Custom" spell adjustment that would allow them to at least track an active spell that is not currently available. This is very useful for tracking spells that are active between sessions or for when you get hit with a Dispel Magic spell.

This adjustment allows you to change its name by typing into the "Source" section of the adjustment.

  <thing id="pS2CustSpe" name="- Custom Spell Adjustment -" description="Add this adjustment to be able to track an active spell that is not currently availble to be added. Once added type into the (Source) section with the name of the spell and the name will change to match." compset="InPlay">
    <tag group="Helper" tag="AdjSpell"/>
    <eval phase="Final" priority="50000"><![CDATA[
~ If the default "Source" id is changed then attempt to use it.
If (compare(field[pSource].text,"(source)") <> 0) Then
  ~ Make sure that we are not blank either.
  If (compare(field[pSource].text,"") <> 0) Then
     field[livename].text = field[pSource].text
  Endif
Endif]]></eval>
    </thing>

So in example lets say you cast "Delay Poison, Communal" on multiple party members. This spell can easily last many hours and be nice to track that its active on your character. So you add the above custom adjustment and type into the "Source" section the name "Delay Poison, Communal". The adjustment will now be named "Delay Poison, Communal" and will sort correctly in the list of active spells.

I had previously submitted a similar (identical concept) adjustment. It was to add a spell info to the adjustment and change the name.

  <thing id="pAddSpell" name="Add Spell Text" description="Spell Info" compset="InPlay" summary="Add Spell Text to Spell Adjustments section">
    <comment><![CDATA[For reminding you that a spell is active if the spell doesn't modify in game stats.]]></comment>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="AdjSpell" name="Spell Adjustment" abbrev="Spell Adjustment"/>
    <tag group="Adjustment" tag="S2Custom"/>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="AdjInfo"/>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="NoIncr"/>
    <eval phase="PreLevel" priority="11000"><![CDATA[      ~ If we're not enabled, get out now
      doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

      ~ Picks on Hero
      field[pUsePicks].value = 0

      ~ Set search to daze or prone
      field[pCandExpr].text = "component.BaseSpell"]]></eval>
    <eval phase="PreLevel" priority="5000" index="2"><![CDATA[     ~ If we're not enabled, get out now
     doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

     ~ If nothing chosen, get out now
     doneif (field[pChosen].ischosen <> 1)

     ~Pull the tags and assign to the feat
     perform field[pChosen].chosen.pulltags[SpInfo.?]
     perform hero.childfound[pAddSpell].forward[SpInfo.?]

     field[livename].text = field[pChosen].chosen.field[name].text

     field[abText].text = field[pChosen].chosen.field[CustDesc].text]]></eval>
    </thing>

Yea I thought about that but it means the gamer is stuck to the spells that they have licenses for or in HL. Its very possible another caster is casting a spell from Orcs of Goliarian in example on the player who does not own that package/license. They would be unable to record the spell then as it would not appear in the list.

That's why I went with the simple concept of type in anything you want. This also means it works with 3.5 spells or 3PP spells that are not in HL.

P.S. - I do like the coding though. That is slick!

I don't know if missing Mythic Spell adjustments are on the list, I only know of one that is missing at the moment.

Mythic Bless. Didn't check on Mythic Bane, though Mythic Prayer is in HL(somehow)

I know Mathias did some and did some others I added awhile back. But been too busy to do anymore recently. So its rather hit/miss for mythic spell adjustments. I thought Mythic Bless was in actually...

[Dianae]

Other Buff spells with Mytic Variants have the choose between as a drop down on the spell, I might have missed the one for Bless if it was elsewhere.
