Dual-Wielding Off-Hands and 2 Handed Dual Wielding

Grim Dawn Modding - Tutorials and Help

So I’ve been trying to figure out how allow the player to equip 2-Handed Weapons or 2 Off-Hands (for a mage build) and so far I was only able to equip weapons which are 1-Handed.

Do you guys know if it’s hard-coded to only equip a specific item-type?

Maybe I could change the weapons (2-Handed and Off-Hand "not shield) to a 1-Handed and that would allow me to Dual wield them?

Can you make an item equippable in more than 1 Armor Slot?
EG: Piece of armor that fit both in the ring slot or amulet,
or Gloves that can fit as Foot Armor.

I have not edited any items yet so not sure what are the possibility.

If you have experience with items/weapons and skills, please leave a response.
It would be cool to figure out a way to do this and include it in our mods.

Yep that should work but remember that you then always will be able to dual wild one handed other weapon typed items, too.

Creating a new combination of dual wild would require to change the engine as it would need a new animation set which is not given by the engine.

Nope.

I know how to permanently assign an animation set for dual-wielding so it would probably work if I use that trick.

But when you say “Creating a new combination of dual wild would require to change the engine”, do you mean it’s possible to do such edit to engine?

Because I swear, I have a lot of time and I really want to learn as much as I can.

If I can create a new combination of dual-wielding and you know where I should start, could you guide me?
I just don’t know what file I should look at to start with! :confused:

Start learning C++ and Assembly.

And this is going to help me how in this case? :confused:

I don’t mind any advice, but I’m not going to learn an entire language if I don’t know where to start looking at.

Sure that would be great but not sure how it’s supposed to help me here.
I thought this game used LUA scripts?

I guess if I knew C++ and Assembly I would understand why you’re referring me to them but can you be a little more precice, please! :smiley:

Thanks for the response.
Appreciate it! :wink:

Because then you’ll be knowledgeable enough to crack open GD’s innards and rewrite all the hard-coded stuff everyone wants to rewrite and thus doing all the work for him :stuck_out_tongue:

You did say you had time and wanted to learn all ya can. Guess Ceno took you seriously.

Yeah for my savage class I was also looking into an exclusive skill for 2h dual wield, but looks way beyond my comprehension.

If someone ever manages it though it’d be cool. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of time :frowning:

Haha!
That’s funny :smiley:

I’ll see what I can do!
:cool:
