Adding many spells to an NPC

Post by Zeofig »

I'm messing around with a magic system mod using opencs, and I want to add all of the spells I've made to Arrille for testing purposes. Is there a way to quickly add them all? It seems like I have to create a new row manually for each spell at the moment.

Edit: alternatively, could anyone give me some pointers getting MWedit to run in Wine? It just crashes without any output under the versions I've tried.

Sorry, nothing better at this time. It seems we have some more usability improvements ahead of us. Could you please file a feature request on our tracker?

I would have tried this:

Open spells table, set filter !string(Modified, Added), Ctrl+A to select all, then drag&drop to the NPC's spells table.

But it looks like drag&drop onto the NPC spell table is not supported yet.

Thanks guys I will make a feature request!

I ended up having a great time exploring the possibilities of adding the spells with scripts generated in python. I've now got a python script that extracts all the spells I've made (by using tes3cmd to convert my mod to text) and randomly distributes them amongst spell vendor npcs by generating a MW script with lots of addspells, with filtering for spell level and NPC class/level.
