[SVN] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

Behavior on Demise: Casting Necromancy spells does NOT raise Spirit Speak. (Seems like no skill check is even made)

Behavior on OSI: Casting Necromancy spells DOES raise Spirit Speak.

Supporting Documentation (URLs): I tested this on OSI.

Changes needed: When casting Necro spells a check needs to be made for spirit speak for whether or not that skill should increase.

Code (optional):


I realize my character could just be bugged and this is working correctly for everyone else, but I think it's worth noting. ;/

Sure it does, but only with damaging spells (it works just like evalint)

Re: [VALIDATION NEEDED] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

That's still incorrect then, because I casted horrific beast on OSI and gained in SS.

I can confirm this one as I've posted a bug report about it about 4 weeks ago (I'll remove that thread as this one is more detailed). I was gaining SS while traning a character casting wraith form, lich form, curse weapon etc.

Re: [CODER NEEDED] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

yes, but we need to get the gaining ratio :/

Re: [CODER NEEDED] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

Yes, that's something that needs figuring out, it doesn't quite work the same as Magery/Eval from my experience. I've tried looking for a formula for it but haven't found a reliable one yet.

Re: [CODER NEEDED] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

How does one go about figuring out the ratio? I'm assuming it involves lots of casting on OSI?

Even when you cast non damaging spells, you gain in secondary skill on osi. Also even if you fizzle thers also a chance to gain in secondary skill. This bug is valid for all spells ( magery and necro).

Re: [TESTING-TC] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

Tested on demise tc:

I am gaining in eval int when cating non offensive spell like g heal and gate travel.
Magery skill also gains.

Gaining in ss when casting non offensive spells like lich form.
necro skill still gains as normal.

both also tested for gains with offensive spells and the gains are still present.
stats can still gain.
I gained sometimes on fizzle.

All looks good to me

I've always GM'd SS by spamming corpse skin on myself.

Re: [READY] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

im gmd it by casting curse wep at 0 necro

Re: [READY-TC] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

i set my spirit speak to 0, casted a few withers, and my ss raised a bit.

same with poison strike and animate dead.

i think is fine.

Re: [READY] Spirit Speak doesn't gain when Necromancy is used

I have tested it against SVN 427 and it works properly.

Hence, now it's implemented in SVN 429.
