Grim Dawn Modding - Tutorials and Help
23

  1. extract the MODNAME.arz with arhive using cmd basicallyy [directory\a\b\c]> archivetool MODNAME.arz -[extraction dirrectorry] ** this will give you the “records” folder

  2. in the “records” folder use DBR editor or use NOTEPAD ++ at the .dbr you want to edit. use ctrl + f to find the point you want to change.
    here’s an example records\creatures\pc\playerlevels.dbr > ctrl + f maxDevotionPoints [change value] to change max devotion

  3. COMPILING THINGS BACK TO .ARZ <<< u asked for this
    open asset manager setting all directory to you GD directory.
    MOD > NEW > whatever
    or
    SELECT > existing mod.
    Close this buggy thing.

  4. with file explorer copy “records” folder at point 2 to \Grim Dawn\mods[new or existing mode name]
    delete the MODNAME.arz at the folder or move it somewhere

  5. back to asset manager select the new or existing mod > build the this will build the arz in the new or existing mod directory.

YES GD community expect you to be at least an 10 years experience as an IT. they will link you some tutorial that you totaly won’t understand then some types of guys will reply to you

  1. the kind guy who wants to help but have a hard time to explain (cause the steps are frustrating)
  2. the guy who says “it’s in the tutorial”
  3. the guy who says it’s easy you just have to read and understand the tutorial again
  4. the guys who WON’T reply cause it’s fcking tiring just to understand the first step

at this point i’m not sure if GD community just bad at explaining or just a bunch of etilist, as you may see or already see there’s so few new member because of this intimidating community. Don’t get me wrong tho GRIM DAWN IS A GREAT GAME AND I LOVE IT. but the community, tutorials, and others? meh. the amount of mods created (compared to other games with the same type and quality just explains it all). and don’t tell me it’s actually easy and don’t tell me the community is fine. this post may be edited or banned by the admins but here you go.
