First I’d like to say how much I respect all of the people putting in their time to make mods and to figure out the tools. You have much more patience than I.
Second - couple of questions. How difficult would it be to create a Veteran Elite / Ultimate mode?
Would this be akin to creating everything from scratch?
Also, is there any possible way to set auto-loot on components? Nothing kills a rampage worse than having to go back over a full screen and pick those things up one at a time.
Thanks!
One of our modders is experimenting with making components auto loot. We talked about it but he’s doing all the actual work. I don’t have any updates from him in the past 12 hours on the topic.
On difficulty, I don’t see Veteran mode anywhere, however there are files inside records\game\ that reference database/templates/gameadjustment.tpl
balancingadjustment_challengemode_enemies01.dbr
balancingadjustment_survivalmode_enemies01.dbr
gameadjustment.tpl would be how you make difficulty changes. The actual menu options to select the different difficulty I don’t know but are probably hard coded. Here are a few more game balance related options:
C:\gdunused\modsbig\masterread\records>findstr /s /i balance *
ingameui\gameengine.dbr:monsterAttributePak,records/game/monstergamebalanceattributes.dbr,
ingameui\gameengine.dbr:petAttributePak,records/game/petgamebalanceattributes.dbr,
ingameui\gameengine.dbr:playerAttributePak,records/game/playergamebalanceattributes.dbr,
You can also edit combatformulas.dbr and gameengine.dbr to adjust settings on a mod specific basis.
I personally don’t know where the different difficulty names are set. gameengine.dbr will sometimes have 3 numbers for a value, these are “per difficulty”
monsterRunSpeedCapMax,500.000000,
monsterRunSpeedCapMin,20.000000;30.000000;40.000000,
Max Cap is set across all difficulty, Min Cap goes up with higher difficulty.
Difficulty names show up in
