Mylloijya Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I edited numerous values in XcomEW.exe (by RHacker) (RC/1020/1033), and saved. When I open XcomEW.exe, all values are modified, but in-game all values are default. What is wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The GOG exe is different from the exe the guide/editing program works with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylloijya Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) So, GOG version isn't moddable, or there is another way to mod it? Edited March 7, 2019 by Mylloijya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 No idea, I don't play Xcom.I was only suggesting that if the Modding tool isn't working with the Gog version, then it's possible that the gog exe is too different from the normal game exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think you are the first person to mention hacking the GOG version of XCom, much less EW. So you are breaking new ground. Even so, please see the "Basic Guide to installing mods", the "Environment" section in particular. That should still be true for the GOG version as well. If I am interpreting you correctly, you are attempting to use the Resource Hacker tool for modding? That is very "old school", and was pretty much abandoned after the third or so update of the base EU game because of the changing addresses with each version. Last I knew it had never been updated for EW. Once we learned how to enable the use of the separate loose INI files (documented in the "Basic Guide to installing mods"), and with the advent of the UPKUtils tool set, RH hasn't been needed. The wiki has a number of articles regarding the UPK files and how to mod them. The UPKUtils "PatcherGUI" file format is how you implement those changes. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, the only thing changed (that I've noticed), are classes (changed class perks per rank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
