Help! My modded force crush doesnt work for some frustrating reason!

[mrdefender]

I can't figgure out why this damned script won't let my force crush mod work properly! ARGH!!

 

What's very frustrating is that everything worked fine a few days ago then I started a new game as the opposing gender and alignment (female DS)

 

Is there anyone who can help me out and tell me why this won't work?

 

// DJS-OEI 1/2/2004
       case FORCE_POWER_FORCE_CRUSH:
       {
           SWFP_HARMFUL = TRUE;
           SWFP_PRIVATE_SAVE_TYPE = SAVING_THROW_FORT;

           int nDice = GetHitDice(OBJECT_SELF);
           // DJS-OEI 10/7/2004
           // Removed damage level cap and changed to d10.
           /*
           if(nDice > 10)
           {
               nDice = 10;
           }
           */
           //SWFP_DAMAGE = Sp_CalcDamage( oTarget, nDice, 6 );
           SWFP_DAMAGE = Sp_CalcDamage( oTarget, nDice, 10 )*4;
           //SWFP_DAMAGE = d6(nDamage);
           // DJS-OEI 8/16/2004
           // Damage type is now Unstoppable, although its define is still Acid.

Doesn't work in what way? Does nothing at all happen when you use it, or does it just ignore the instakill damage you changed it to do deal?

 

Check that you have recompiled k_sp1_generic.nss and put the resulting k_sp1_generic.ncs file in the override folder. It's sometimes easy to forget since all the code is in the k_inc_force include file.

[mrdefender]

It ignores the new damage value

 

The script compilation (sp?) looks fine, it gives me a k_sp1_generic.ncs file. I place it in my override folder under a 'others' folder (i have subfolders, keeps the override folder organised )

 

The batch file that compiles the scripts looks fine too:

 

nwnnsscomp -c -g 2 .\Compile\*.nss
pause

 

I also have the nwscript.nss, I tried it the file and without the file, doesn't do anything constructive in this instance.

 

I'm just at a loss here, In theory it should work but it just doesn't want to work

 

Any thoughts?

I reinstalled kotor 2... and I got some good news and some bad news...

 

The Bad news is, my script still doesn't want to work...

 

The Good news is, another mod (that changes more force powers) seems to work. So I'm going to try to copy and paste the force crush part of the script into my script and see if that works....

 

Does anyone have any idea why mine doesn't want to work? Other scripts I made work, but for some odd reason this one doesn't work.

 

Granted, I'm still new at this whole scripting thing but... Shouldn't my script be working? I mean it is the only spot in that part of the file that looks like it controls the ammount of damage done.

[mrdefender]

Very wierd. I'm now almost certain the scripts aren't being compiled properly, cause replacing the original entry with another working script's entry didn't do anything....

[mrdefender]

ARGH! The mod doesn't work either, I was just at a low level and now that I'm higher, it doesn't work

 

PS: Seem to be having problems when I edited my previous post.
