You want me to type out the complete list with details or just the names? I've typed out the complete details once and it took me a few hours. I can post a list when I get home, but if you want specifics I'd rather run them by you through IRC or something.

I want the list with details. This has to be clearly written up so that it can be properly implemented. If you have it online somewhere already, I can simply reference it above, provided it's suitably defined.

If you'd like to go over these on IRC first, give me a time you'll be around and I can hop on.

Thanks.

best bet is to troll through the scripts.. they all start with 36_

if I had time, I'd do it myself

Some drugs for Cipher.

Post by Blackwill »

Good news. I didn't have to retype the whole thing. I had my typing work copied somewhere. There are still more than what's in the following list, but then I'd have to properly type it out. Anyways here goes.

*graduated drug definitions*

Updated.

Thanks Blackwill. I moved the content from your post to the main spec to avoid duplication and to conserve forum space. If you can post the remaining drug definitions, I'll graduate them as well.

/me gives big thumbs up on cursed item action

I am assuming (cant see the link) that the script means cursed weapons show up as non-magical and/or can be equipped without identification?

I think I red someplace that NWN2 will allow that, and I'll be happy about it. It's another "mistake" from NWN that gets mended IMO.

As currently implemented, curses are meta to the engine. There is no IG info displayed on the description unless the builder writes it in. If we have the ability to setDescription in NWN2, we may think about coding an incremental ID for the added effects.

It was pretty funny watching Loen try to figure out why he kept turning into a Troll after he got his new blade.

Thanks for putting that list together Blackwill. Updating it now. I think that puts a wrap on things here.

Well I was still wondering if you wanted the D20 rules on how drugs should work?

I assumed we would operate on the details provided for each drug. We can go over any rules you feel are still not covered. I'll leave the thread open to cover that so post away.
