Release 1.31 - TBD

Enhancements & Changes
  • --
  • 3.5 - Magic Item Compendium: Rods that cast spells could use more work. Need to consider best way to handle it. Other items that allow the casting of spells may also be affected.
  • 3.5 - Magic Item Compendium: True Believer has only a limited selection of deities. Shouldn't need a selection, but need to go through the Relics to make sure.
  • 3.5 - Magic Item Compendium: Chronocharms have incomplete scripting to determine validity. Need to investigate this.
  • Custom - Spell Like Abilities: Might need to consider fixing these up so the id's indicate default level and maybe provide summary information. -- Low Priority

Bug Fixes

  • if you select Elf as a race and add Ruathar class low-light vision duplicate (not reproducible).

Data File Authoring
  • --
  • 3.5 - Magic Item Compendium: Implement Weapon crystals. (Sendric)

Requires Investigation
  • 3.5 - Complete Divine: Divine Metamagic feat does not qualify if Cleric has cold or similar domain (turn fire, cold, etc)
  • 3.5 - Races of the Wild: Elvencraft longbow does not display club info as magical item
  • Custom - Core Book Mods: Why change timing of Call CalcVal to First/100? Do we need this?
  • DL - Races of Ansalon: Improvised weapons.

  • Implement Shield Bash for named magic shields
  • 3.5 - Magic of Incarnum: Open Chrakra feats - I don't like the way these are implemented. Need to take a longer look at them.
  • Spell-Like Abilities for classes should be set up like Seeker of the Misty Isle. Bootstrapping slaXXX should be reserved for Monsters only. slaXXXX things should be condensed to single file.

To-Do
  • 3.5 - Players Handbook 2: Agile Shield Fighter feat not working correctly. (need update from core)
  • 3.5 - Heroes of Battle: Add Commander Auras.
  • 3.5 - Complete Divine : Ur-Priest PrC takes as required only Malign Spell Focus instead of Spell Focus (Evil). [NOTE]: This PrC is from Book of Vile Darkness and is correct. Check updated version from CDiv for changes.

  • Add Cleric Domains for races that need them (Drider; Eladrin, Ghaele; Lammasu)
  • Seek pre-reqs for Turn Undead or Rebuke Undead and use appropriate tag (ie Divine Censure feat from Fiendish Codex 2) (this will cause some feats to display two errors when you don't have the ability.)
  • Assign User.Smite with all smite abilities.
  • Take a look at all classes/feats that use Invocations after Dragonfire Adept has been entered.
  • Modify scripts for Ice Beast and Shield Bash once "Hide.Weapon" tag becomes available
  • Add races Bogun, Phantom Bear and Phantom Wolf from Spell Compendium (pg 26, 156, 157)
  • Update breath weapon so that we can modify the damage from templates

  • Provide an adjustment for Monster advancement that includes size increase
  • Move Dark Creature template to appropriate FR data file
  • Fix Half-Dragon template
  • Add Platinum dragon to list of available choices for Draconic Heritage, Dragonwrought and Draconic Legacy feats if character is dragonborn.
  • Add pre-reqs for Wild Shape adjustments for Wild Shape and level requirement
  • Add Psionic subtype for Psionic support
  • Note to self: If you remove Size Adjustment, remove SpecSource tag from tail attack gained by Dragon Tail feat (RotD)
  • Add adjustment for character aging.
  • FR - Underdark - add psionics (earth-node based spells).
  • Update how auras work (add Evil, Law, Chaos). I forget why we need this, but we do.
  • Update Dragon Natural Weapons so Crush and Tail Sweep appear in Weapons tab instead of Specials tab.
  • Sinspawn Wrathspawn and all other Sinspawn variants from Rise of the Runelord should have 2 claw attacks but it is only has one so it doesn't seem to qualify for the multiattack feat it also should have. --needs replacement to fix.
  • 3.5 - Tome of Battle: Shadow Blade feat should qualify as Weapon Finesse for selected weapons. -- seems to work ok, should investigate.

Useful Coding Examples

To pull tags from one thing and apply them to another. Example: Oracle Domain Class Special, Complete Divine

Code:
perform hero.childfound[cdOracle].pulltags[ClsScAllSp.?]
perform field[usrChosen1].chosen.pushtags[ClsScAllSp.?]
To increase the number of Secondary Spells. Example: Oracle Domain Class Special, Complete Divine

Code:
field[usrChosen1].chosen.field[cSecSplReq].value += 1
To pull an unknown number of tags, assign them to a string, then replace part of the tagid. Example: Oracle Domain Class Special, Complete Divine

Code:
var spells as string
spells = hero.childfound[cdOracle].tagids[ClsScAllSp.?,"|"]
spells = replace(spells, "ClsScAllSp", "thingid", 0)
To apply the above string to a list of available spells. Example: Domain Class Special, Players Guide to Faerun

Code:
field[usrChosen1].chosen.field[cSpellExpr].text &= " |" & spells

Code:
~ We have to impose secondary natural weapon penalties if secondary tag is applied, 0 with improved multiattack, -2 with multiattack, -5 normally...

doneif (tagis[Helper.NatSecondary] = 0)
doneif (#hasfeat[fImpMultiA] <> 0)

if (#hasfeat[fMultiAtt] <> 0) then
   field[wAttBonus].value -= 2
else
   field[wAttBonus].value -= 5
endif
The reason the code is what it is, is because the pincer is set up to automatically have a primary attack and this is the trick they are doing to make sure the attack values are being applied correctly (in case they are secondary and also if they are part of multiattack). So, if a creature is set up to so that they are secondary attacks, they should get the correct attack values applied (in other words, you end up removing the Helper.NatPrimary tag). In this regard, you are right Sendric, it should be looking for Helper.NatPrimary <> 0 (is there even an NatSecondary, it compiles, so there must be), since the software is only interested if that is there, otherwise it automatically assumes a secondary attack (the NatSecondary helper is not applied, so it always returns true and then always runs the resulting script).

You can run this script much easier by looking for the condition that imposes a secondary attack on the pincer, and then just deleting the Helper.NatPrimary tag from the pincer attack. This will automatically fix the attack values and damage without having to script it. I just don't know why the glabrezu would need to make its pincer attack secondary, so the script would only be needed for that. Any clue why this code is here?

What confuses me more is that the pincer weapon includes both the NatSecondary and NatPrimary attacks already. The glabrezu doesn't add any tags of its own except a user tag to determine damage and a value tag (2). It's kinda weird how its set up. Unfortunately, I have to go, so I can't delve into this any further today.

If both NatSecondary and NatPrimary are present, NatSecondary is ignored in favor of NatPrimary.

Yes, I would think so. However, the tag still exists which means that the following statement will always come up false.

Code:
doneif (tagis[Helper.NatSecondary] = 0)
I'm gonna play around with this some today and see what needs to be done to simplify the situation. I don't think there are many creatures that use this weapon, but there are other weapons that appear to be in a similar situation.

Update: I took care of the Pincer problem, but taking a peak at the effort that would be involved in making wholesale changes, I have decided not to pursue that at this time. It seems likely that most of the creatures have correct attack and damage anyway, so at this point I would prefer to leave well enough alone unless and until someone reports an error.

Awesome. All of those would be very helpful. I'll add Enlightened Fist now, and whenever you want to send along the others would be great. I'll message you my email address.
