[Modding Witcher gear]

So trying to learn modding, by "script kiddie-ing" existing mod, was a mistake. But finally, I got things going. Even managed to find where the bits responsible for school gear bonuses are located. Though, didn't find the bit for number of pieces of gear required (3/6).

Yet :]
I wonder what will happen if I put all: setBonusAbility(insertschoolbonus) into Teigr...

 

As for tools:

• ModKit + kitchen - did uncook files, but trying to make mod with doesn't work,
• W3Edit - works like a charm,
• WolvenKit - "Pack and install" option is wonky, and it produces many more files than "W3Edit",
• xTcModkit - is supposed to "unblob" mods, returns only errors.

 

P.S.
CDPR did an awful job, on their, so called, modding manuals, those "bundled" to ModKit.

[Modding Witcher gear]

For now, I don't know what "string" I'm looking for, or where in the file.

Hell, I don't know what file, and where it could be, and I don't have the time to look "everywhere", and at "every" file.

 

Also, I prefer WinMerge - worked wonders for Stellaris, and other games.

[Modding Witcher gear]

So Witcher Gear , is supposed to be the best, crème de la crème\whatever, but beside the prologue, I got better items from loot (?!), not to mention crafting. And after installing this mod:
https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/5104

it got even worse in the weapon department.

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2356

and in the armor department.

 

How worse ? Even superior WG are so weak in comparison to non-witcher ones, that I never used them.

 

So I want to mod the Witcher's Gear armors and weapons. I've looked into some files, and beside a college programming language classes flashback, I got nothing eligible...

Tried again with simpler approach - mod a mod (upgreadable versions of Kaer Morhen armors) - got "traumatized" again, didn't find nothing eligible again...

 

So my questions:

• -what tool use to create a mod from scratch, and what just to simply tweak one already existing (got the official ModKit+kitchen bit, W3Edit\WolvenKit, xTcModkit)?
• is there an up to date, step-by-step, modding guide, mainly for weapons and armor editing?
• what files are responsible for Witcher Gear armor and weapons?
• where are they?
• what the parameters like armor, resistances, "look like", and where are they defined?
• where are Witcher Gear bonuses defined, how they "look"?

[A way to force servicers to service]

What I'm looking for, I look for the sake of QOL, immersion\whatever - I can player.add\removeitem all day long. That's not the problem. The problem is, sometimes the "working hours" of merchants go wonky - they should be open for business, but aren't. It's annoying with vanilla merchants, or when messing with their inventory\leveled lists, and wanting to see the results. And downright frustrating, when it concerns non-vanilla ones, with "new, cool stuff", which I now must look at through TESEdit...

 

As for the mods, I prefer this one:
https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/39255

and COBL Luggage, but that's neither here, or there.

[A way to force servicers to service]

It is funniest when I test new stuff... :wink:

Oh yeah:

[Two merchant container(s) questions]

Yes I know where the merchant containers are located. I "even" know why - robbing them blind in Morrowind, thanks to the containers in question, being in plain sight. Good times, good times...

I also know that merchants unused personal inventory, gets used as merchandise. If it was that simple, I wouldn't waste your time :smile:
Though, thank you for confirmation about faction ownership.

 

To the matter at hand, I think I found the culprit: Advanced Magecraft. It runs a script (aaaScrollstuff), that places inkwell, parchment, and quill in various containers. Hell, even Tahm Blackwell got "scrolled":

:D

scn aaaScrollstuff

ref speakerref
ref container
short temp

Begin Function {speakerref}

	let container := speakerref.getmerchantcontainer
	printc "container: %n %i" container container
	printc "Speaker: %n" speakerref
	speakerref.setoffersbooks 1	
	speakerref.setoffersmiscitems 1
	
	If ( container == 0 )
		set container to speakerref
	endif
	
	If ( GetRandomPercent <= aaaAdvancedMagecraftQST.scrollmaterials )
		Printc "Passed Chance."
		If ( container.getitemcount amtokenring == 0 )
			printc "no ring"
	
			let temp := container.getitemcount quill01
			If ( temp < 5 )
				container.additemNS quill01 5
				if ( getgoldvalue quill01 == 0 )
					setgoldvalue 1 quill01
				endif
			endif
	
			let temp := container.getitemcount inkwell01
			if ( temp < 5 )
				container.additem inkwell01 5
				if ( getgoldvalue inkwell01 == 0 )
					setgoldvalue 5 inkwell01
				endif
			endif
	
			let temp := container.getitemcount blanksheet
			if ( temp < 10 )
				container.additem blanksheet 10
				if ( getgoldvalue blanksheet == 0 )
					setgoldvalue 1 blanksheet
				endif
			endif

			container.additem amtokenring 1

		endif
		
	endif

End

Anyone interested in providing a line-by-line (parts other than additem) explanation?

[A way to force servicers to service]

Sadly I don't have the time, and the drive. Also, it would induce painful flashback about C++, and Pascal from my college years, and feel more like a job, than fun.
Though I did learn bits of "full" programming languages, and scripting ones on my own, so...

 

But all that is moot now - Oblivion entered it's periodic "CTD for teh lulz" phase.

Frell my life...

[Two merchant container(s) questions]

1. Looks like if I don't set up a merchant container for a merchant, he uses some "barebone" one with parchment, and some other clutter. Is there a way to track down that list\container\whatever, and edit it?

2. If I set faction, as an owner of a merchant container, but don't set up any rank, who can access that chest? Anyone from that faction?

[A way to force servicers to service]

Whats the problem with doing it in CS??

For one - my Gamebryo scripting knowledge, is almost nonexistent.

[A way to force servicers to service]

Thank you for replies.

 

That sucks...

[A way to force servicers to service]

Yeah, I know what to change, how to make merchant containers, etc. I'm not asking about that. I'm asking about a way to change it ingame, for vanilla, non-vanilla, mod added, whatever, NPC.
Something like Active Inventory Spell, but one that forces the servicers, to offer their services right now.
Eventually, something that lets me change those hours ingame.

[A way to force servicers to service]

i.e. merchant to sell\buy, trainer to train, etc.

Is there a console command, or a mod, that makes them do it, regardless of their work hours?

[Multi-effect weapon enchantment doesn't show in UI]

Not really - I've created item and enchantment from scratch in TES4Edit, not ingame, and didn't use any mod depended "funkyness".

[Multi-effect weapon enchantment doesn't show in UI]

So I've created a custom weapon enchantment with 3 effects, but at best, only the first one displays in UI, at worst, none of them do, but the weapon has enchanted "indicator".
I've tried to use existing enchantment as a template, and it works until I "fiddle" with it more than once. I got mods with multi-effect enchantments, and they're working, so what the frell ?

[How does one update mods to War of the Chosen?]

1. Thank you.
2. 40+ GB "modding tool"...


Isn't there some streamlined version ? I just need to make vanilla mods work with WotC, not make a Counter Strike equivalent...

[How does one update mods to War of the Chosen?]

So it's been some time since the last post. Did anyone came up with a working, simple-ish was to update vanilla mods to WotC ?
What I mean by simple-ish ? Resource Hacker\hex editing is a max.

I've read the provided info (updating the lot of them, is a no-go), added "RequiresXPACK=true" (does nothing but removes the exclamation point).

Why I don't wan't to update the usual way ? I've "tweaked" them a lot, and incorporated some of the changes into my own files, so I really don't want to do that again, especially since I probably forgot about half of what, and where I've done.

 

[Merging on a smaller scale]

I know FNVPlugin, used it to merge things to get bellow the max plug-in limit, but it doesn't do what I want.
I want to add a bunch of custom pistols to "RepairNV9mmPistol" list, or add one of them to "NVHoldoutWeapons" list, etc.

Changing one entry, for example, the "Repair List", or "Ammo" entry, for a bunch of items at once, is also something I'm looking for.

[Merging on a smaller scale]

I know you can use FNVEdit, Wrye to merge stuff, but is there a way to merge on a smaller scale, like repair lists, or just "sending" one entry from that list, to some other list ?

[Is there a way to get something OR something, via leveled lists on the same level ?]

Explanation:
I want a NPC to get unenchanted item, or have a some percentile chance to get enchanted one, but on the same PC level. One, or the other, not both.
Is there a way to make it happen ?

[Is there a DT max value in GMST ?]

That sucks...

[Is there a DT max value in GMST ?]

I'm not talking about fMaxArmorRating, or the DT bleed-through fMinDamageMultipler.

[Merge my mods, vendor container overlap.]

FNVPlugin could be of help.

Probably copying it's script entry would suffice.

Did you use BOSS, other mod sorting helper ?
Did you create merged\bashed patch ?
