Changing Magicka Formulae

[Xenoseal]

I know the 'PC' is under the NPC list as 'player', but I can't seem to find any scripts that deal with the PC, such as your maximum magicka forumla, strength/encumberence forumla ect.. I've skimmed through the complete script list and nothing resembled this, I didn't go through and read every script though, just looked at names, which seemed to be self explanitory as far as what they deal with.

 

Am I lookin in the right place? Or are these things not dealt with in scripts.

 

What I'm trying to do is change the magicka formula from X*Int = Max Magicka to 1* Int + Willpower = Max Magicka. So instead of a normal character (No special Magicka *) having a maximum of 100 Magicka with 100 Intel, they'd have 200 Max Magicka if they have 100 Intel and 100 Willpower.

 

I'm also trying to add Magicka Regeneration to this, which I'm almost certain deals with a script. (Still new to Modding) Trying to make something along the lines of 1% of Max Magicka is regenerated every 5 seconds, or .2% of Max Magicka regenerated every 1 second. Not sure if I can make it 'pulse' every 5 seconds or just alter it to 1/5 what I want it to regenerate in that time if I can't alter the 'pulse' timer.

 

Also, I haven't seen it anywhere, but is there a explanitory list of all the visual effects in TES?

 

Example:

in_v_s_examplewall - Vivec Style Interior Wall

in_v_s_examplecorn - Vivec Style Interior Corner

 

And so on...

 

Or is it pretty much a Guess & Check thing? I know they are labeled by type, so they aren't completely scattered, but some can be hard to figure out.

 

Alright, that's it for now.

 

Thanks,

*Edit*

 

I've looked through all kinds of scripting tutorials before posting this, and couldn't find anything dealing with the PC in general, I've seen race, class, birthsign modding tutorials, but nothing that deals with what I'm looking for.

the formulas are hardcoded in the engine mate ....

 

though you can tweak it and script around the hardcoded elements ... by scripting something like this

 

begin blah

 

short pcwill

short pcintell

 

Set pcwill to player->GetWillpower

set pcintell to player->GetIntelligence

 

Player->SetMagicka, ( pcintell + pcwill )

 

stopscript blah

 

end

 

now activate that at the end of chargen

 

as for regen ... just add an ability or something

 

much easier than scripting it ... much less time consuming.

Alright thanks, so I'm gonna hafta restart my character to get the magicka formula I want eh? Oh well I'll live, not that far into the game anyway.

 

Also, I know there are magicka regeneration mods, could I just alter one of those to do what I want? If they add a script that regens mana, then I could just set the values to the ones I want personally right?

 

Thanks

Yeah you could and no worries mate ... have fun modding and playing.

[Xeniorn]

You don't have to restart your character, just open the console and type in

startscript blah (put the script's name instead blah)

[Greywolf]

you could do that yes ... but whenever I state something its so that mod can be shared ... unless you give a readme telling them to startscript blah in the console :D

 

But yeah for you character just do that ... though I could never get far in Morrowind ... kept making a new character <_<

[Xenoseal]

Greywolf, was that the exact script I need? (Excluding Blahs and stuff) If so I'll just copy and paste it, if it's alright with you.

[Greywolf]

it should work if not its just a problem with syntax

 

Begin Magiscript

 

Short PCInt

Short PCWill

 

Set PCInt to ( player->GetIntelligence )

Set PCWill to ( player->GetWillpower )

 

Player->SetMagicka, ( PCInt + PCWill )

 

Stopscript Magiscript

 

end

[Xenoseal]

Says, invalid script on line 9

 

Begin Magiscript

 

Short PCInt

Short PCWill

 

Set PCInt to ( player->GetIntelligence )

Set PCWill to ( player->GetWillpower )

 

Player->SetMagicka, ( PCInt + PCWill ) (Line 9)

 

Stopscript Magiscript

 

end

 

 

 

Tried taking off the , adding a space between ->SetMagicka everything I could think of with my very limited scripting knowledge, any solutions?

 

Oh, and I can just add that to the startscript list and it will run everytime the game loads and give me Int + Will magicka, correct?

This is the current mana regen script I use, but it regens a little too fast for my taste.

 

Trying to combine both my scripts into one. My PCInt + PCWill = Max Magica, AND Make my script Regen 1% of Maximum Magicka every 2 seconds*, anyone willing to help me out with this? Both scripts are already written and posted here, not by me, but I'd like to combine them to make my own little script for personal use, or I may post it (With credit where it is due of course)

 

*(If possible)

 

 

Thanks
