my custom spell can't be learned????

[Legacy_Roddish]

               Hello again. I've been trying my hand at creating new spells, i think i've filled in all the 2das i need to, but i couldnt find any tutorials for making spells and/or feats.

anyway, so i made the spell icon, the scroll icon, the impact script (which is having its own problems, meh!)
and i made references to it in my tlk and in the following 2da files;

iprp_onhitspell2, iprp_spellcost, iprp_spells , spells.

all spellcasty classes get the spell, so i also added entries in ALL the packsp*.2das

in the module, i compiled the scripts, saved then used nwn explorer to export the compiled and uncompiled scripts, which i put in a hakpak alond with the new 2das and the tga icons (one thing, maybe off-topic, are the spell icons meat to have transparency? obviously the scroll is, but the spell icon itself?)

now, as a paranoid, i decided it might be in my best interests to put all the new files i put in the hakpak ALSO in my override folder, for testing.


so, all that said and done, i can access the spell in the toolset, to put it on scrolls and items and such, but none of the classes ever recieve the spell as a choice, ever. even though i specified at what level they all get it in spells.2da and in their package 2das

what the devil have i done now?.

               Probably some kind of error in spells.2da. Clerics/Druid know all spells from their spell list, so I would suggest testing with those classes.

Are you sure there aren't any spells.2da overriding your new file?

Try copying existing spell and replace only impact script, icons and names.

thanks. good idea.

did i mention i was paranoid? i am absolutely certain that mine has priority. my hak sits at the top of every hak list, and i also drop copies in the override folder for testing. my 2da is boss-hog round these parts pilgrim.

thats how i made it, i just copied the cure wounds spells, with new icons and scripts for target caster only, that was the only tweak.

i'll go have a fiddle with a cleric now though. thanks man




EDIT------------------------------
just trying to avoid a repost here. 

tried it with a cleric, guess what i learned.


I learned that i am a moron.


cleric learned the spells fine, so i went back and checked my spells.2da


turns out, i hadn't entered any numbers in the iz/sorc field, and had been testing with both of them.



oops.



lesson learned. lol.

thanks man
