Spell ID's

[Aeros]

Hi again,

Quick question - what are "valid" spellid ranges? Reason I'm asking, is, i've created and configured the necromancer spellbook, as follows:

Code: Select all

Spellbook 0xF9FB
{
    Name                necrospellbook
    desc                Book of Necromancy
    Graphic          		0x2253   
    SpellType						Necro
    Gump                0xFFFF
    MinX                40
    MaxX                60
    MinY                20
    MaxY                80
    Newbie              1
    BlocksCastingIfInHand 0
    RequiresAttention   0
    VendorSellsFor      22
    VendorBuysFor       11
    weight              1    
}

With scroll configurations:

Code: Select all

Item 0x2260
{
    Name           necroanimatedeadscroll
    Desc           Animate Dead scroll
    Script         necroscroll
    CProp Spellid  i501
    VendorBuysFor  6
    VendorSellsFor 12
    Weight         1/10
}
etc..

With spellid configurations, in spells.cfg:

Code: Select all

Spell 501
{
    SpellId     501
    Name        Animate Dead
    Script      animatedead
    PowerWords  Uus Corp
    mana        23
    difficulty  40
    pointvalue  50
    delay				1
    Reagent			0x0F92
    Reagent			0x0F93
}
etc...

The scrolls use the objtypes as stated in the comment in core-changes.txt.

As you can see, they use the 501- range. Yet, when I try to cast one of these spells, I get the message "Only a mage can cast these spells". This message comes from spellRestrictions.inc, in the maincast function.

Nowhere in my necro scripts am I calling that function - so why is it being called? I can only assume the core is doing this - but why?

NOTE: When I do StartSpellEffect(who,501);, it calls the correct spell. But when done via the necro spellbook, it doesn't.

Can anyone advise?

I've put some prints in the spellRestrictions file to see what the spellid is, and:

When I cast the animate dead spell (spellid 501 as configured, see above post), the core thinks its spellid 1. Therefore, its treated as a normal spell.

Anyone know why?

Bleh, disregard this thread.

I mixed up the spellid ranges. Necro spellid's start from 101, not 501.

Sorry.

Just to fill in the whole picture (from irc channel info)
Spellids:

Necromancy 101 - 116 (note there are only 16 spells and scrolls (see core changes.txt)

Aeros was thinking that exorcism in this list is not really there - stratics thinks there are 17 necro spells)
