Missing Blue Magic Spells

[bdk]

Hi, just messing around with DSP. Got the server up and running. Had a crack at fixing BLU spells. Copied Frenetic_Rip.lua and updated with Quadratic Continuum params. Quad. Continuum is in the the Bluemagic spells list and mods list but when I try to cast it, I get the error that "player cannot cast Quad. Continuum".

Is there somewhere else that I need to update to get it to work? I did restart the server afterwards too just in case but still no go.

Thanks in advance for any assistance/tips that anyone can provide!

Cheers!

did you equip the spell

did you equip the spell

Yes, of course. I think it's just the spells that don't have a lua script in scripts\globals\spells\bluemagic that don't work. I can equip them, just cannot cast.

Here's my script for Quadratic_Continuum. Wonder if I have to rename it to "Quad._Continuum.lua"... I don't see any other spells with an abbreviated file name though.

return damage;

ah - the name of the script must match exactly the name column in spell_list, which in this case is "quad_continuum"

edit: and it is case sensitive for linux

Thanks KJ! That did the trick


So, ignore dots an replace spaces with an underscore seems to be the rule


Whilst I got your attention, don't suppose you know where I can get the correct "duppercap" values for BLU spells from?

no idea, one of the wikis or bg forums probably
