I know this isn't the place to ask, and I really don't want to seem like I don't appreciate what you guys are doing. I don't think anyone here that you guys and what you are doing is amazing, so thank you :). I was just wondering though Daemonjax, you said you were working on a program to make hex editing the files a little easier. Is that included in this program or is that something else.

Ah, my bad, sorry. 80 percent gets into opinion territory. Some people won't like, some people will. Someone once told me when discussing this game that the biggest balance mods are going to affect cover, the moment we can actually touch them. Personally, I was thinking of doing the same thing. I want cover to absolutely be vital, and destroying it to be the same. I want flush to matter, and I want things like the assault class to have their purpose. Flanking should be majorly important. I don't think 80 percent would ever get into breaking it territory, as the enemies get the same bonus. Just don't expect everyone to love it.

It would definitely make things easier, that's for sure. If you wanted to keep it semi balanced, at 100 percent critically wounded chance I'd reduce the time they are wounded to 1 turn (depending on whether that counts the turn they are wounded on, as a turn. If so, then 2). Maybe even just keep it as one anyway.

Ah. Way beyond my abilities. That's unfortunate. Got a little excited looking at all the code.

Much appreciated :). Thank you for the program you've already made. I'm just curious though, UE Explorer doesn't seem capable of modifying the files themselves. What do we use to modify them? UDK?

Decompress is not recognized. I hate being this new at something. Do you think you could give me an example? Thanks for your replies by the way. Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. File was on a different drive and didn't think to change to it. Thanks again for the replies man.

Ah, so is the cmd screen suppose to stay up? Might be an issue with my computer then. Otherwise the -Izo parameter would have made a little more sense to me earlier :P

Silly question, but is there anything special needed to run this? Running it gets me a cmd screen and then nothing happens. Trying to open upk files with it nets the same result.

Little curious myself about messing with scripts, it seems right now people are just finding out how the pieces work, but can't actually touch them to change things like cover bonuses yet.

1. Yes, change the Damage value of the weapon. See the DefaultGameCore.ini & First Steps thread for more details. 2. Not yet. We can access the game scripts & decipher the mechanic, but currently have no way to override/inject a replacement mechanic. Thanks for the quick reply. I've been reading the thread a bit and I decided to try out this method: listed there, just to make some personal changes for myself. I don't think I'm using the right program though. I downloaded XN Resource Editor and then pointed into the binaries/win32/xcom.exe there but I can't find any 1033 folder, only 1010/1020/1030/1040, and I have no replace resource option. Any tips? Edit: Scratch that. Just actually took a look at the mod patcher thread. Figured that was just something that made your changes distributable.

Hey guys, Was wondering if anyone with more experience than me here could tell me whether it's possible to change a weapon's base/max level of damage and if you can change the accuracy penalty different cover types apply. Thanks for your time.

For people to add all the removed spells. Bound dagger, bound mace, bound armor Feather Night eye Lock/Unlock Teleportation (please god add this) These are the most important in my opinion. Also being able to bound different styles of swords would be awesome.

What are the odds of a mod where you can carry around a book you can write in? I know a lot of people who made their own journals in real life of the things they did in Skyrim, just to get more into it, but I'd love something I could put in my bookshelf at the end of my adventure. Something I could pick up, flip to the front and go, yeah, I started from that.

Hello. I recently installed the Oblivion GOTY Deluxe edition through Steam and started modding it. I was hoping to use the All Natural mod so I installed Wrye Bash and the Python prerequisites. Unfortunately I get the above error: no module named wx I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix this. I downloaded both of the required files and the update from the Wrye Bash page here. My Oblivion install is on my D drive in the steam folder and I installed Python just onto the D drive, installing the library at the same place. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.
