[Request] Longer boon durations


reperspliter

Recommended Posts

This was the first thing I started looking into. I hate having to rebuff multiple times during boss fights. If I can figure it out, I will see if I can get them to last an hour. So far I have only been able to identify the buffs from periapt items. I don't know if player boons are in the same location. I'm going to fiddle with things to see what changes. This is my first time modding, so it might take a while. Hopefully someone more savvy will assist.

Longer buffs is something I would like too! Maybe not an hour, mind you, but at least of couple (from 2 to x) time longer!

 

I looked into the files and found the debuffs. I do not know which one is which in the file, so I just removed them all! I'm already on multiple sites trying to figure out how to know such things!!!

 

Anyway! Longer Buffs, good idea!!!

If you don't mind, where did you find the debuffs? I think the best way to see what they are is to just manually change them each and test things in-game.

Sure! However, since it "count" up to 40 (I'll explain later), I don't have neither the patience or time to screw with every one! Safe to say, put them all to zero and I don't get drenched even when swimming!!! :)

 

So, here we go!

First, you'll need to find and unpack (there are tutorials on the net, that's how I learned) the file: <dragon dogma folder>\nativePC\rom\game_main.arc

(using arc tools (unpack) and some batch files (helped a lot!))

Then, <unpack folder<\game_main\param_status\player.statusparam.xml

I don't understand all of the mumbo jumbo but, some lines are clear!

<f32 name="mTimer" value="0.000000"/> The length of the debuff
<f32 name="mParam0" value="0.000000"/> parameters... Could be time, could be damage, effect?
<f32 name="mParam1" value="0.000000"/> parameters too!
so, I just put them all to 0 and... no more drenched!
Isn't water beautiful?
Anyway, I hope this helps you a bit! Oh, by the way, you'll need to repack the files each and every time... Which could take a while in the end!

Sweet, that's where I was already looking. If you notice the ones that say mIsOverwrite = true and mOverwriteNum val = 4, those are periapts. The 300 second ones are from weal and prosperity.

Just an update, Keelhauled found where the enchants were located. I was in the right area but hadn't found them last night XD.

 

Enchant location: Inside the bld.arc (\param\shl_param_09.shl.xml)

 

Their Mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/105/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fdragonsdogma%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D105%26preview%3D&pUp=1

bld is for the mystic knight (if it works cause I haven't tested it myself). WAN "seems" to be the one for Mage, with EnchantTime at 40 (40 seconds) so the time the enchantment last... (It is also related to a sound effect of "fire/ice/thunder/Holy/Dark). However, making it longer doesn't change a thing... Also, to make me even more crazy, there are 3 "states" of the element fire/ice/thunder... 40/120/180... So, Boon/Affinity/Trance(or something like that, just stated here)... But all the trials and errors I did... well, where errors! No wins...

 

So, I'm at a loss here!
