castaway not like incantation of blood/spirit drinker?
|
got the 4 new spells and having success with the other 2, but for some reason castaway says the these two spells are unknown.
i can cast them manually, so they are NOT unknown to AC, just unknown to castaway it seems.
ANY one having luck with these spells and castaway?

Castaway is going to take the name you have in the XML file and look-up the spell id from that. If you misspell something it will fail. Other than that it should work. If it isn't then wait for a Decal update.

i've entered it 3 times.
the last time I manually cast the spell cut&pasted the name into the xml file and castaway STILL Doesn't know the spell.
so it's not the xml file, it's some kind of weirdness where the name is ___ externally but possibly intenrally it's know differently so there isn't a match up?
message is Castaway: Spell not found: Incantation of Spirit Drinker
Castaway: Spell not found: 'Incantation of Spirit Drinker'
message of blood drinker is the same, 2 lines one in quotes one not.
and let me ask again, HAS anyone gotten castaway to cast these spells on folks?

maddy, i've just informed VI that it appears 'to me' that Vtank isn't buffin weapons with the new 7/8 spells either.
so it's a is probably more then a problem with castaway.

Like I said, if it isn't working with the correct name it probably is an issue with Decal. Probably something in the memlocs is my guess.

i see what you were saying, i originally read it as 'you are a complete bafoon and need to wait for the posting of memlocs'
sorry, didn't read it right.
But, let me climb out on a limb and suggest that it isn't probably as easy as an incorrect memloc error. back in the day of 1byte pointers, tables could easy out grow pointers. if almost everything else is working except for 2 of 4 new spells added unless these were the last two spells added to a table that is larger then current pointer technology, which i kind of doubt, something else maybe the underlinning cause.
of course if may well track back to memloc issue, but i suspect it will be a NEW memloc issue .

Two spell id's for the same spell name could do it. If Castaway grabs the spell id for the one you don't know then it will fail. Sounds like a bug outside of AC, but not sire if it is a Decal issue or an AC issue.

I don't think it's a bug- the cast version of the spell is the same power as the level 7 but the length of a level 8. The version found on a wand is 1% higher, so it would need 2 different codes.

so question becomes, is there a way to use the spell id in castaway instead of the name?

Nope, Castaway only uses the name.

unfortunately that was the expected answer, but certainly not what users wanted to hear ;(
so it begs the question, maddy as the castaway guru is there any hope that a future version MAY permit using spell IDs and/or names?

Sorry to be a bit off topic but how do you work out the ID number of spells?

craftbot had a utility program that when ran generated a file with the spells/spell ids listed]
unfortuantely 2 days ago, the craftbot website for dl'ing was offline.

With VTank you can do "/vt dumpspells" (it puts them in c:\spelldump.txt). Many other plugins have a similar functionality.
