Hello. I saw your response to my PM over on the nwnx.org forum, and I figured that I would check out this new version of structs now that I've begun work on my project once again. I really appreciate the added functionality, although I can't seem to make it work.
I checked out and compiled the latest source from the svn per the instructions in the other thread on this board. After installing a couple of packages my ubuntu install was missing, I got it to compile with only a few warnings.
I created a test module with a hak pak containing a modified effecticons.2da with additional entries from line 130, and icons to suit. I set up 4 placeables and had them each assign one of the additional icons. None of them worked. I tried putting the 2da and tgas in the override folder, still no luck. I added an additional couple of placeables to add icons using existing effects, and those work. So, just to check, I copied the line with the effect icon for taunted (105) to line 130, the first unused line, changing only the index number. It does not work.
Is the number of effect icons (129) hard-coded into nwserver? I saw another post from you on the nwnx.org forum about how HG uses custom effect icons, but it wasn't clear whether those were altered versions of existing icons, or new icons which had been added beyond line 129.
Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. I would love to get this working and be able to specify additional icons that are unassociated with any previously existing effect. Thank you for your time.
