Health issue

[Frogzilla82]

I had this working before of changing data3.pak and folder/file data/skills/default_levels.xml

 

But now it's not working. Something else is overriding it in the game and for the life of me I cannot find it. Seem data0 also has the exact same file, but changing it does nothing.

 

Anyone else know what else over rides the dault_levels file for max health?

Well, crap. Seem we are up to version 1.25 and the health and durability has been moved to somewhere else. changing data0 and data3 does NOT change health nor durability now. Anyone happen to know where they can be found?

Any changes to the skills files (or even the difficultyparams.scr file) requires that you be running your game in offline mode. This is on Techland. They seem to have wanted to prevent certain modifications to the game while you are online even if you are playing in single player.

 

The easiest way to get around this is to disable the client restoration/reporting service that blocks these files being altered.

 

I do not recommend modifying files in Data0.pak ever.

Extract the 'data\restclient.scr' file from Data0.pak, modify it and then add it into your modified Data3.pak file inside of a 'data' folder there.

 

Change line 8 from being:

EnablePLS(1)

To:

EnablePLS(0)

Most mod authors and private modders have had to begin including this file in their Data3.pak files with this disabled for changes to certain files to be recognized, especially skills files.

 

Note that including this file and disabling the client restoration service (prevent modified files being used) will cause community events and updates to also be disabled while the PLS service is disabled. You can try leaving the whole service enabled and just trying to disable certain aspects of the service in the other lines in the file if you want. If you don't care about community events, I recommend just leaving the whole thing off.

With version 1.24, data3 data/default_levels durability changes did nothing, but changing it in data0 worked. 1.25 neither work. I tried editing data\restclient.scr and adding it to data3, and that works! thanks for the info.

 

You seem to be the only active person here.
