File contents[]
The Grimoire download contains a series of files that need to be attached to a module in order for this content to work during gameplay. The download comes in .rar format. A program that can read and extract .rar files, such as WinRAR, will be needed. The download is formatted in .rar due to its smaller compression size, making it more friendly for dial-up users to download.
As always, .hak files should be placed in the hak directory, .tlk files in the tlk directory, and .erf files in the erf directory.
Base files[]
- Grim2PRC_2das.hak - 2da files
- Grim2PrcCScript.hak - compiled script files
- Grim2PrcSource.hak- script file source code
- Grim2Blueprints.hak - blueprints for summoned creatures, etc.
- Grim2TGAs.hak - spell, scroll, & domain icons
- wallplaceables.erf - contains the placeables for the Wall spells.
- Grim2cepprc.tlk - custom tlk file
Optional files for CEP compatibility[]
- Grim2CEPPRC2das.hak - 2da files for use with the CEP
File usage[]
Base setup[]
In the Custom Content pane of the Module Properties:
- Attach the haks listed above in Base Files in corresponding order above the PRC haks.
- Attach the Grim2cepprc.tlk file as the custom tlk file at the bottom of the pane. While this tlk also includes CEP entries, it will work fine without using the CEP.
In the cached scripts pane of the Module Properties:
- Add the script named sg_spellhook.
wallplaceables.erf
- Import the wallplaceables.erf file.
- Find the Wall of <type> placeables in the custom placeables palette.
- Edit the placeables to verify that they have their proper appearance selected. If not, select the proper appearance. Appearance names for each placeable are simply Wall_of_<type>.
Variables, Switches, & Events
- Proceed to Variable Settings for information on variables and event scripts that must be set in order for the content to work properly.
CEP setup[]
Follow the guidelines as stated in Base Setup above, with the follwoing changes:
- Attach Grim2CEPPRC2das.hak as the topmost hak in the Custom Content list.
Notes[]
Make sure to refer to the Notes for PRC version section of the Variable Settings page for important settings for module events.
Building modules[]
As with all modules including the PRC, these scripts will not compile using the toolset script editor due to circular file includes. A third-party compiler can be used to compile any scripts. Use the following steps to be able to build the rest of the module, without compiling scripts.
- From the Build menu, select Build Module.
- On the screen that appears, check the box for Advanced Properties.
- Under the Compile column on the right-hand side, uncheck the box labeled Scripts.
- Click Build.
- For more info regarding building modules that include the PRC, refer to the PRC website.
