greedfall Modding Help

[W1nky]

First of all I'm very new to modding and I've never modded anything outside of Bethesda's games, so I'm trying to learn.

 

Basically, I'm trying to remove gender restriction on romances, and I've already extracted the data.spk file to access all of the components/variables and such. I found the romance variables that show the different levels of friendship/relationship but I'm not sure how to trigger them on a different gender, the bisexual characters triggers look the same as the gender locked. Does anyone have any suggestions/inputs at all? Anything would be nice. I just don't want to screw with the wrong variables.

I've been looking too without success.

 

Assuming you found flirt & seduction values in common_variables.sli (V_ROM_KURT_FlirtStep etc: 0 default, 3 max, -1 forbidden).

 

In library_players.sli, player's declared sex is tagged as "pla_hero_m" or "pla_hero_f".

 

That's all I've found.

 

No idea when the -1 "forbidden" value is assigned, whether it is after character creation, meeting companion, or at dialog display.

 

I'll try an Agent Ransack search of key terms when I get home.

The male / female references I found inherit files I don't have access to:

<cha_pla_hero tag="pla_hero_m" type="PLAYER" sex="MALE" inheritFrom="cha_hum_pla" idDescTag="CHA_PLA_PLAYER" faction="ALLIES">

<character tag="pla_hero_m" sex="MALE" footsteps="hum_player" inheritFrom="cha_pla_hero">

<character tag="pla_hero_f" sex="FEMALE" footsteps="hum_player" inheritFrom="cha_pla_hero">

My first thought was to toggle the M / F tag as needed so conversations could be unlocked for all companions, but that tag is also used for stances when holding certain weapons (odd but shrug).

 

If anyone knows when the flirt / seduction variables are set to -1 (and how to grab that exact moment to block / undo it), that would be best.

I was searching incomplete data (.sli & .sbt files per Nexus tutorial). Last night I was looking at some of the new mods released, & their files are .sqg. Turns out there are a lot more files to review, including a "romance manager".

 

Setting up my folder again to include .sqg files and will see if romance manager is the solution.

[ThoraldGM]

The "romance manager" files for each companion are located at:

\packs\data\dialog_graphs\talk_companions\

Here is kurt_romance.sdg, line 328:

<setVariable name="SetVariable_3" varName="V_ROM_KURT_FlirtStep" value="-1">

However, the -1 "forbidden" flag is assigned *after* this conversation:

 

"Et bien je te remercierais, je suppose... Mais hélas, Sang Vert, tu n'es pas trop mon type..."

 

Translated:

 

"Well I'd thank you, I guess... but alas, Green Blood, you're not my type."

 

So I'm guessing that something higher up in the same file needs to be intercepted & altered.

My college XML class was 15 years ago, but afaik the targets to edit in kurt_romance.sdg etc are probably "MainCharacterSex" and "test if FEMALE". Hopefully this thread is enough for you or someone else to create the mod.
