2DA's: spells.2da targettype column

Self 0x01
Creature 0x02
Ground 0x04
Item 0x08
Door 0x10
Placeable 0x20
Trigger 0x40

fields are bitmasks, so if you want a spell to be targeted on ground (0x4), items(0x8) and placeables (0x20) you get result = 0x2C. There is a column called TargetSelf in feat.2da which, when set to 1, seems to ignore the spells target type.

Just a Warning:

Do *NOT* get used to targeting items with spells that are outside your inventory. In the future you can only target items that reside in your inventory if TargetType is set to include 0x8. It is a necessary change to prevent abuse.

French SoU: The French and English versions are not compatible. SoU will update any language installed. This will blow away the original data. Without going into too much technical mumbojumbo, it will do very bad things to your game. I'm afaid that you will need to wait until Atari releases it.
