Finished most of the unimplemented spell cases.

So are you referring to the spells_us.txt and spells_en.txt files or something else?

I tried setting some of them to 20 and they only went up to what they had been previously set to (5). Was there something else I had to change, or have I misunderstood something?

If you have AA stacking turned on, you probably need to make sure the sof_max_level is also set correctly. I am guessing that is what is overriding your changes.

It also is not as simple just adding the max level, you will actually need the aaid's for all those levels. Every level needs to have its own unique 'skill_id' even if its not in the table. That is why the 'skill_id' have gaps.

So if you make AA with skill_id 200 have 20 ranks its really 200-220.

It is better to use the AA stacking for making AA's with increased ranks, see examples in the dbase like combat stability ect.

To the other post.

I implemented almost all the 'spell effects' that exist for spells in the spells_us ect. So all spells should work properly at least through underfoot.

Hey Kayen,

Thanks for your replies, and thanks for your work on this. I think I am starting to understand, and I believe I can really use this system (man, I've been hoping someone would do this...thanks again, I really appreciate that I can reap rewards from your hard labor).

I see AA:Stacking in the rule_values table an it is set to "true".

What is a correct setting? Take Innate STR as an example, 5 ranks from Innante Strength, and 10 from Advanced Innate Strength makes 15 which is what is in the sof_max_level from both rows, have I got that right?

And so say I want to add more STR, like Adv Innate STR II, 20 ranks of it. You're saying the best way is to make a new row for it, give it a free skill_id (2001 is free), make "Advanced Innate Strength" a prereq for it (maybe this step is optional?), and change the sof_max_level to 35 (15 existing + my 20 more) in all three innate STR rows? Have I got that correct? And then make corresponding entries in the aa_effects table that look very similar to "Advanced Innate Strength" entries except use aaid 2001-2020?

And one more thing, I use the Titanium client, is that going to put a damper on any of this?
