Character stats question

[HawaiianGuy]

Aloha

 

In the editor I can change the stats for the characters str, dex, int etc. When I start the game they are still at the default. When I reload the editor the new settings are still there. How do I save them ?.

 

 

Mahalo (Thanks)

The editor does not directly effect the actual game. In fact if you edit the default databse you'll never make a working mod, you see the editro compares your databse with the game databse when you 'build' your mod, and only records the differences!

 

So you need to 1) edit a "New Database', 2) "Build" you mod, and then 3) Add your mod to your game. - if it's a savegae you will have to use a 3rd party utility to enable the mod in the savegame.

Could you give me a hint on how to do that :?

 

Thanks

When you build your mod you will have a game.db and a description.txt file, these go in a sub-directory off your game directory and then in game you choose 'Custom game' select your mod, click the arrow to add it to the game and apply it.

Thank you, it worked great.

 

One more question. Is there a limit to where you can set attributes and skill points. I'm guessing 255 would be the limit but haven't tried it yet.

 

Thanks again

Absolutely no idea :razz:

 

Play around a bit and report your findings for the rest of us.

Tried the american sniper with stats of str, dex and int of 50. Set level at 30 and all skills to 245. That gave me 490 VP's and AP's. Tried the starting mission and one other with 1 other character with the same stats. Seemed to run ok, no problems.

 

Then tried it with all stats set to 255. Finished the starting mission with no problems but when I went on the first regular mission and got caught in a random encounter she commited suicide as soon as the encounter started

 

I guess that answered that question, keep things below 255 :lol:

LMAO, instead of throwing an exception, the game kills your character

actually it may be about 99 that is the limit. I think I remeber in the demo trying to use SetLevel in the console and not being able to go above a certain point.
