Observation on adding properties to items

[deathdisco]

Having recently installed the newest version of Kotor Tool I discovered something I didn't know about. Some of my custom items would not load into the uti editor. I had one item with a defense bonus of 7.

 

To illustrate:

item

item property-defense bonus=7

 

If I changed it to:

item

item property-defense bonus=5

item property-defense bonus=2

(this is not literally how it's done if your new to modding)

 

To equal 7, then it loads in the uti editor. It seems to limit defense bonus to 5. Which I'm guessing is a limitation of the game not KT.

Either way it didn't seem to affect the game.

I recently made a new light saber and added an attack modifier of +6. The game did not read the attack bonus correctly until I changed it to:

item

item property-attack bonus=5

item property-attack bonus=1

to equal 6.

 

Sorry if this had been covered before. I just recently notice it.

Hope this helps somebody, especially if your not using KT's uti editor for making custom items.

i haven't d/l ed the latest version of KT yet but i use the GFF editor (from whom i can't remember) to make my items works fine but i've been meaning to get the latest version of KT anyway thanx for the heads up on that

[deathdisco]

I definitely recommend the latest version. It couldn't be much easier to make new items now. No more searching itempropdef to figure out what numbers correspond to what item property. All the properties/values can be selected via pull down menus. You still need the GFF editor for item descriptions but thats easy.

I will be getting around to writing code so that the editors can change the type of strings used to represent Descriptions and such. Just too many other things going on, like the Module Editor, which so people have been testing.

what is the latest version, just to check i have it.

[deathdisco]

Newest version is v1.0.1530.39101.

 

Fred, no complaints. I figured that would be something you would eventually add. It's a work in progress that keeps getting better and better. Thanks for such an amazing tool:)

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

 

I'm in the (long) process of moving to a new city, which means lots of arm muscle work and no time for coding fun

 

Wait until you see the version with the Module Editor demo in it....
