[unborn ledge]

do you reckon its possible to replace a head model with a metahuman head?

I want to kill virtually in game context myself

good question, hopefully

let me check

[unborn ledge]

no way

bro

thats awesome

[drifting copper]

can i ask what do you use to get the model ingame and on the character?

[lusty bramble]

ong makes it a lot easier to add custom characters than before lol

[drifting copper]

that is cursed

i mean how do get custom models for characters in the game?

[unborn ledge]

does the engine automatically deal with mesh deformation or is that adjusted only for willies head?

[drifting copper]

thanks

eyy nice thanks

[tulip mural]

[zenith gale]

He looks rotten

[lofty hull]

https://tenor.com/view/bane-batman-venom-dc-gif-12695019243512171715

Bros bane fr

[zenith gale]

his tones look like they were flayed at the joint 😭

[lofty hull]

Oh yeah his foot technically got cut off

Once you reach that size, if anyone slices ur foot at all, an entire foot comes off

[lofty hull]

Also yeah they were thats why hes hunched over lol

Heres him standing proud

[obtuse tendon]

when will someone make it were split screen can be played in progression

or in abyss

[lofty hull]

You can

You have the power within you

To make the mod

[obtuse tendon]

am the suggestion man dont got intelleq like yall

[lusty bramble]

if you hire muscle, you can assign one as player 2 for split screen

[obtuse tendon]

u fr or js making fun of me

[drifting copper]

horsey horsey

[obtuse tendon]

hello

[lofty hull]

Its real

[obtuse tendon]

can u show me i cant find it

[meager notch]

Is there any way to stop the weight from changing value in the progression mode?

I suppose when you modify weight values it drops back to 1 because willie's supposed to become beefier but the limit is set to "1"?

[lofty hull]

exactly

you need a mod to update the weight value whenever u spawn in

[meager notch]

I'm not a modder at all but I kind of want to plug cheat engine in and somehow freeze the weight value lol

[lofty hull]

no need for that

https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/releases

If you figure out how to install this, you can find a script someone sent in this chat to update ur weight

Or ask me for one if u cant find it

[meager notch]

Oh thanks! I'll try to figure it out

[lofty hull]

np

[trim night]

anyone making a ue4ss hulk mdo

[lofty hull]

Yes theres already been a few posted here

[sterile hound]

so uh, is the hs enhancer a trojan or is my pc being weird

[lofty hull]

Half sword enhancer makes use of something known as DLL injection

Now the reason your anti-virus thinks its a Trojan, is because viruses also use DLL injection

We call these "false positives"

Basically your anti-virus is yelling "he has a gun!" At a gun range

[meager notch]

Here it is

Works perfectly, thanks again.

What grip strength depends on though? It's a bit annoying how your character's fingers always slip off enemies 🙁

[lofty hull]

The demo had a stat for it, likely does in ea too

But the demo there wasnt a way to completely prevent grip slipping

As it was a random chance

[meager notch]

Yep

As far as I can see, it also depends on the areas of props/characters you grab onto

[lofty hull]

Ill take a peek here in a bit and see if I cant find some stat we can adjust for gripstrength

[lofty hull]

Also yeah

Notice how its easier to lift ppl by the hip

[meager notch]

e.g. knees give much better grip

[meager notch]

Oh yes and by the ass too lol

[lofty hull]

Pov you use the buff mod irl

[tardy jetty]

twin im too broke for the game 😭

ts looks so fun

@lusty bramble help me twin

[meager notch]

I suppose, height can't be dynamically changed lol?

[lofty hull]

Game needs more ass scenes fr fr

[lofty hull]

It can, but not the same way as weight. Based on someone elses script which apparently does work to dynamically update height, it seems like he's writing to the save file and not just updating the value in memory

I'm working on testing my theory rn

in my own script

[meager notch]

Yeah, makes sense

I just suddenly remembered that you can update such things real-time

[nimble rover]

does it matter if i take the file and the folder from zDEV or from UE4SS?

[lofty hull]

I meant via script, you can edit the save files through code

so it can be automated

[lofty hull]

zDEV includes more menus for mod makers

I advise using that, but it messes with steams recording overlay so

idk how to fix that

you can use either or, its just the zDev has a gui for modding and debugging

[nimble rover]

ok thanks

[warped grove]

You may need to change GraphicsAPI in UE4SS-settings.ini

the default is opengl but the game is directx so maybe thats why

[lofty hull]

Well the problem is, is that steam chooses to record ue4ss gui instead of the game

and when I do shift tab, the steam overlay opens over the gui

[warped grove]

oh

[lofty hull]

theres probably some way to fix it

I'm just lazy and have sharex

[stark shore]

Set your face type to 6 and become the red skull from the marvel universe.

[subtle condor]

did the mod menu come out yet

[stark shore]

https://github.com/lambor590/Half-Sword-Enhancer/releases/tag/dev-latest

[lofty hull]

@lusty bramble have you determined if its possible to add custom maps yet?

or at least

in a somewhat not hairpulling process

[lusty bramble]

yeah it's just as easy as the demo

just gotta cook the map then use console to open it in-game

[lofty hull]

daaayum

[lofty hull]

Bro the modding community is about to take this game places the devs never dreamed

[trim night]

idk if i asked alr but are u gonna release ur map loader

[scenic wedge]

when i attempt toooo like... alter my willies weight stat to 3 . it works. but when i die why does go to 1?

[meager notch]

You can fight people with horse lmaooo

[scenic wedge]

can yall tell me? im really curious on how to fix it

[mortal slate]

what does reflex do in settings

[meager notch]

Scroll up a bit, weight is capped to "1" as the max value, so everytime game tries to update the weight value it defaults to the max value

[candid lodge]

Has anyone figured out a mod that lets both split screen players use keyboard inputs? Im using a controller but all of the community presets that actually work for the game act as keyboard inputs

[scenic wedge]

alright. thank you

[meager notch]

You can use the script to update weight all the time

[candid lodge]

Would be nice to have it be actually functional

[scenic wedge]

wait what? i dont see anything.

[meager notch]

This one

It requires to install the tool but it's not difficult

[scenic wedge]

could you explain? im dumb as rocks

[hallow thistle]

https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1468391624890384546

[meager notch]

I'm going to sleep rn but I can explain tomorrow.

[scenic wedge]

K thx

[lofty hull]

The game limits the weight stat to 1, so when it makes an adjustment to your weight, it'll cap it if its over that

To fix it, you need to use a ue4ss script

People have pasted them in chat here

Or you can wait until something is officially released on nexus or smth

[hallow thistle]

By the god, its Astartes

[lofty hull]

@lusty bramble I found an easteregg

https://tenor.com/view/my-dress-up-darling-sono-bisque-doll-wa-koi-wo-suru-my-dress-up-darling-s2-anime-marin-kitagawa-gif-4268280780096217176

[compact stump]

cooked my map and added it as a pak and now im getting this error cant find any useful information. any ideas anybody

[lofty hull]

Ask luke

[narrow cove]

something something line 808

[fossil dock]

how do i keep my weight? after one fight it reverts the weight and im just super tall?

[narrow cove]

uhh the weight doesnt update in free mode so that as far as i know is the only way without messing with the code n allat

[lofty hull]

You need to use a script instead of just updating the save file

[fossil dock]

oh ok thx

[lofty hull]

one that updates your weight when you load into a match

because the game resets it back to its capped value after a round

[surreal folio]

height 5.7

weight 2.5

[lofty hull]

Height 11 weight 11

Still trying to get him to stay upright but we're getting there

[lusty bramble]

u should fuck with the tonus and stuff to make it playable fr

[trim night]

he looks obese

[lofty hull]

I am, tonus doesnt seem to be the key here anymore past 8 height

He still falls over or starts walking in an odd direction

[copper jungle]

when I try to set the weight passed 1, it doesnt work and resets back to one. I tried doing the modding thing by installing the ue4ss and putting in all the files into the binaries. When I ran the game the windows didnt poip up like teh guide said so i created the mod manually, put in the code, made sure to eanble it in the mod.txt, and it still does not work. Does anyone know why?

[lusty bramble]

yeah idk maybe the IK system just doesn't really support all that or something

[lofty hull]

I'm thinking as we scale bigger maybe lowering gravity could solve it

would give us some funny moments with the small willies

The alternative is start scaling the other willies down

so the difference seems even greater

[lusty bramble]

maybe you could lower the mass of the player manually so they still have the muscle but don't weight so much at such high rates

[lofty hull]

oh I didnt think about that, I didnt notice any mass properties do you know where I would find that? (I'm not familiar with UE at all I've only used godot)

oh ic

the physics handles

[tiny flower]

is hse out for ea yet?

[queen kindle]

update to my script, fellers

https://pastebin.com/4Y4Hh0B2

added money changer

as usual, update your script, click on Restart if you're updating it directly from the debugging tools or maybe just restart your game and edit freely the desired amounts to height, weight, skill and funds/currency

[bright cedar]

Is there a tutorial on how to use this?

[queen kindle]

yes, you need ue4ss for it

i wrote a tutorial for it here:
use the script from the pastebin I just posted

[bright cedar]

Does it matte what ue version I use?

Matter*

[lusty bramble]

mb, but yeah should be able to set it on the willie actor's components, not sure which exactly

[queen kindle]

use the latest experimental developer one

[copper jungle]

so your tutorial said on downloading the zDEV-UE4SS_v3.0.1-930-g3dd2bc5a.zip, but when I go to the github you linked I do not see that

[queen kindle]

go all the way down until you see the assets

[lofty hull]

Well I havent set it yet but now I'm confused as to whats happening here 😭

[copper jungle]

I did, this is all i see

[lusty bramble]

that is quite unique lol

[scenic wedge]

how do you reset your file?

[lofty hull]

bros filled up on helium

[copper jungle]

alright I was just wondering because the numbers were not the same

[queen kindle]

it seems it just got updated then, pick the third one, the one that starts with ZDEV

[copper jungle]

alr thanks

[tiny flower]

how do i get the weight mod?

[trim night]

looks like a big ass gorilla

[copper jungle]

Okay so now I started the game, but those windows don't open. I just move the ue4ss subfolder into the binaries right? I dont take the stuff outta it?

[lusty bramble]

dll too but yeah

[copper jungle]

yea I ddint the dll

did

[queen kindle]

you place the ue4ss folder and dwmapi.dll into the Win64 folder "the same one with HalfSwordUE5-Win64-Shipping.exe"

[copper jungle]

yes

i did that

[rugged storm]

is there a trainer mod for this already?

[copper jungle]

this is what I did

[queen kindle]

and when you open the game you, two other windows don't open up along with it?

[bright cedar]

I don't have a ue4ss folder?

[copper jungle]

nope

[copper jungle]

that looks like the wrong one maybe

[bright cedar]

It is the zdev

[copper jungle]

that one doesnt have all the numbers and stuff at the end

[queen kindle]

all of that is the content of the ue4ss folder

try changing the name of the folder itself from zDEV-UE4SS_v3.0.1 to ue4ss and place it on the same folder as HalfSwordUE5-Win64-Shipping.exe

[queen kindle]

some people have to edit an ini for it to show up, let me see if i can find it

[bright cedar]

I do have two windows, CMD and the Debugging tools but the debugging tools window is just pure white

[copper jungle]

i found this in the ini

should I chage the consoled enabled to 1?

[queen kindle]

yeah that should be it

[copper jungle]

alr let me try now

[queen kindle]

not sure what to do there
maybe you lack the runtimes like visual c++ or whatever else

[copper jungle]

alr the cmd opens

maybe

ill do that next

yea only the cmd opens

should I install the visual c++ ?

[queen kindle]

i don't think that's your case

try this here

set it to true on DebugBuild =

[copper jungle]

alr

[queen kindle]

like this DebugBuild = true

with a space

[copper jungle]

alr

lets see

[lusty bramble]

my poor cpu trying to handle the wrath of Unreal Engine 💔

[copper jungle]

the debugging menu has not opened

but should I also enable these?

those seem promising

[lusty bramble]

yessir

thought those would be enabled by default with the dev version

[copper jungle]

YO IT WORKED

[queen kindle]

try it

[copper jungle]

finally

l,ets go it works finally

[bright cedar]

This is what it does for me?

[copper jungle]

[trim night]

i had that issue a while back and had to change how it was rendered with one of the config options or something

[bright cedar]

Interesting

[queen kindle]

its kind of a shame that the character gets squeezed into his armor

like if you put the weight at 2.0 and make some insanenely buff guy, he'll look thin again if you put on some armor

[weak kindle]

has anyone modded to make new tiers yet?

or like a new map

[lusty bramble]

gotta change the graphics api in ue4ss-settings.ini (probably to dx11/12)

[weak kindle]

also if there is maps is there any coding invlolved?

[bright cedar]

Ah, Yes I just found the setting lol

Ok, It's working now

[lean carbon]

For the artorio script, what is skill?

[trim night]

wonder why the bet and reward fields print as 666 for an event lol

any1 know where they are saved

[bright cedar]

That's popping up

[trim night]

u might have not got the experimental build for ue4ss

[bright cedar]

The one artorio said to download

[trim night]

https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/releases

go for the top experimental one n delete the old one

this ones a bit easier to install as well

[bright cedar]

The cmake one?

[trim night]

https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/releases/download/experimental-latest/zDEV-UE4SS_v3.0.1-932-ge31aaaa6.zip

[bright cedar]

Ok, I see the lua debugger tab thank you!

Does the weight control muscle?

Can confirm it worked 👍

[trim night]

what is this 😭

[copper jungle]

yes

[lusty bramble]

finally 🥹

ight now i can finally go crazy with the EA modding

[lusty bramble]

i have not seen that lmao

[lofty hull]

Oh my god, the bigger they get the more absolutely rotted their legs get

[trim night]

oh shi

imported the rigs for grip?

[lusty bramble]

kinda basically

[lofty hull]

@lusty bramble ⁨```lua
local function ReduceSkeletalMass(actor)
local mesh = actor:GetComponentByClass(USkeletalMeshComponent)
if mesh:IsValid()==false then
return
end

mesh:SetAllMassScale(0.01)

end

Tried doing this, didnt work

I'm not sure how to tell if it had much effect either

ig I could try making them heavy af

[small forge]

Plzzzzzzzzz bro

[obtuse tendon]

playable zombie possible?

is it possbile to add monsters on here or nah

[lofty hull]

nah no effect

[obtuse tendon]

kinda like exanima

[lofty hull]

And I made sure its even finding a skeletal mesh component

[obtuse tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/exanima-gif-27047791

[lofty hull]

It must not use those values

[trim night]

it would be cool if you could go up against zombies in progression mode or smth

[lusty bramble]

i would traverse all primitive components of the blueprint and print their masses to see what u need to change the mass of

[obtuse tendon]

ye affected plague went by in the forest an u gotta fight it off

[lofty hull]

@lusty bramble

Bro the back muscles cant take this

[lusty bramble]

what are those lats 😭

[lofty hull]

oh my god

Height 10, weight 11

I'm walking

[lusty bramble]

craziness

[lofty hull]

whup, tis a fluke

loaded into another map and couldnt stand

bro was stuck on his ass

[lofty hull]

Also what I'm guessing his happening to his feet, is the game doesnt know how to stretch his mesh so the balms of his feet at stretching up his legs

[trim night]

jesus bro let the man rest

science has gone too far

[lofty hull]

https://tenor.com/view/juiced-bane-batman-strong-gif-15050028

aight

I think thats enough buff willieness for me

theres much more to work on

[loud karma]

Knew it. Stoked!

[lusty bramble]

not ideal.. i don't think that's where the gun goes, either

[ivory burrow]

looks like the next L4D special infected. also shows how much grabbing became ass since demo

[lofty hull]

nah this is an effect of just being TOO buff

I can barely reach down

[lofty hull]

This is the best result I've had proportions wise

[lusty bramble]

🙏

[narrow cove]

why does this happen

[lofty hull]

I'm assuming the texture for the feet has a chalky texture underneath, so as the willie gets taller, it stretches from the feet and the chalky grassy nasty textures gets stretched up the leg

[uncut prawn]

this is John halfsword himself

ignore his feet

hes got gout

[trim night]

😭

[uncut prawn]

its gout

medieval times it happens

[kind pelican]

how to get inf money

[mortal slate]

? can anyone help me with this?

im trying to edit the height of willie

[kind pelican]

file is too big

I think

[odd frost]

yo is the gun gonna work and are we gonna have access to it?

[mortal slate]

says up to 50mb

[kind pelican]

idk then

[agile adder]

Try another ue site

[mortal slate]

pl

ok

[worldly abyss]

MI BOMBO

WHEN IS THIS RELEASING

[lusty bramble]

probablyy by like this weekend or smthn idk I mostly just gotta give the guns a proper gui

[worldly abyss]

yeeeey

[lusty bramble]

[worldly abyss]

make sure to spam me when its out frfr

[odd frost]

dude this is gonna be so cool

wait

did u say guns?

if theres more than 1 thats gonna be peak

[odd frost]

holy crap

[mortal slate]

how can i fix this?

[lofty hull]

https://trumank.github.io/uesave/

use this instead

that save editor isnt updated to work with modern UE versions

[mortal slate]

okay thank you

[meager notch]

Wonder if characters grip works like weld tool in garry's mod

Probably there's a way to disable the slippery palms altogether

[odd frost]

i would love a gamemode where you fight off those zombie things in the alley

[fleet garnet]

Also add a Case Hardened Blue Gem Pattern 661 AK-47 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

WITH StatTrak

[agile adder]

add that but that mod costs 500k

[fleet garnet]

500k Pfennings

[golden mica]

is there a script for height modification too

[livid flicker]

why not black powder

[golden mica]

im using the weight script https://pastebin.com/raw/CRNt0Z3J

but I need one for height too

cause if u were to perish id need to change save file

[fathom birch]

I beg ping me when that gets released

[steep zinc]

this is your work?

if this is going to be open source or available to make your own guns with, plz let me know

would love to drop in some Halo stuff

[meager notch]

Good sires, is there any way you can modify game behavior as well with uess?

I'm still interested if you can force grab with just a script

[safe sinew]

is the gun mod released.

[agile adder]

It's still getting worked on chillax

[trim night]

ue4ss yes u can do a whole lotta things if u can script

[placid sierra]

I need become zombie

[meager notch]

Though, how do you find functions and manipulate them the way you want? I'm a tad confused, is there a halfsword modding wiki or something?

I've only had a very little experience with gmod lua scripting and there was wiki with all the functions and all that stuff

[steep zinc]

how are mesh or custom weapons done so far?

i'd like to dive in and make some stuff on my own, even if they're not guns

[trim night]

im pretty bad at it but you can search through everything in the debuggers, find the functions u need, and hook or find instances and use functions thru ue4ss

no wiki basically its all man for themselves rn

[trim night]

u would have to ask luke for that

[steep zinc]

alr, i'll ask when he's online if he doesn't respond to my og reply

[restive rampart]

Is there any level guides yet? Mostly folder structure is what concerns me rn, mostly because any game I've made scenes for in ue4 required a very much identical folder structure to the game it's self to use things like the games physics mats

Or, is there anyone who's already done this before who'd be down for a short VC later while I create folders, either way ping me

[compact stump]

just cook and then pak it fr Halfswordue5/content/yourmap is what mine have looked like

[restive rampart]

yeah but that doesnt include using there pmat's which is usually what controls sound response from materials

and sometimes friction ect if there relying on that

[agile adder]

my strength only works once?

[meager notch]

What do you mean by strength

weight, height?

[placid sierra]

Better than your plan to get us to tahiti

[meager notch]

When someone figures out how to write height to save file via script ping me please, my ignorant ass just spent 3 hours achieving nothing at all 🚬

[agile adder]

you didnt have FAITH

[agile adder]

like my height and my weight only works one round

[meager notch]

Weight is supposed to update every round and height is loaded from the gameprogress.sav file afaik

Script for weight change from earlier achieve the persistence by constantly updating it every time willie is possesed and every time new round starts

I'm not going to be a smartass though I'm not a scripter lol, just look into those I guess

/Game/Blueprints/SaveGame/SG_GameProgress.SG_GameProgress_C:Carried Bolt Count [o: 3E8] [n: 1F20CC] [c: 00007FF6D50A60E0] [owr: 00000187A1D71C80]

also it's possible to change bolt count i spose

[agile adder]

woohoo

[meager notch]

can anyone advise some sort of learning resource for this kind of lua modding specifically?

[queen kindle]

have we found out what skill does already?

[lofty hull]

Ue4ss

Their Lua api is well documented and reflects UE api

If you dont already know Lua, you are going to want to learn that BEFORE you start modding

[restive rampart]

oh wut, so it doesnt support blueprints?

I also have a friend who's been making his own mod unlocker for quite a long time , but I dont think his is limited to lua

[subtle condor]

guys anyone who hsa infinite arrows for crossbow or like infinite grip strength or infinite slowdown ability

[potent kettle]

anybody know to help me?

and anyway to make the strenght gain permanent?

[unborn wedge]

use a ue4ss script

[potent kettle]

How do I fix the save editor though

[lofty hull]

Use a different one, theres been plenty pasted in this chat

That one is unreliable

Not updated for modern unreal engine

[small crater]

anyone know if HSE for early access is out yet?

[fervent eagle]

nope

[small crater]

darn

thanks!

[fervent eagle]

tho ive heard that manual install works for some people

the dev of enhancer is working on bringing it to early access

[placid sierra]

Dev version is on early access

[fervent eagle]

its really buggy ive heard

[placid sierra]

Ye that makes sense
Accordin to ghost we shud get the release by next week

[potent kettle]

Can I get a quick walktrhough then about which site to edit my strenght and also making it permanent

If anybody finds the time, or the will

[hasty ermine]

an early access dev build already dropped

[small crater]

oh sick

[copper jungle]

If you scroll up a bit you can see a tutorial on making your weight/strength permanent using eu4ss

[drifting copper]

why is miles morales in the files

[meager notch]

I'm familiar with lua but my brain is not familiar with smarts

Any way to get object's properties in the UE4SS? I want to see if I can change height parameter in the savegameobject while the game saves so it spurts the height value right into the file

if SaveGame then
    print("Savegame is:", SaveGame:GetFullName())
else end```

[shell oracle]

SaveGame:andTheProperty

i think ue4ss exposes the properties of objects

[meager notch]

lemmesee

Yeah thanks, found it in line view

[shell oracle]

👍

@lusty bramble btw are yyou releasing gun mod?

[lofty hull]

You want to edit /Game/Blueprints/GameInstances/GI_Settings.GI_Settings_C

As for changing the height parameter through code and having it actually update, I am yet to succeed at that. Someone elses chatgpt lookin code does tho

Which I've looked over and taken note how they approach it

[meager notch]

I wish chatgpt could do it lol

[lofty hull]

Why

I like writing my own code and fully understanding it

plus the problem solving is so satisfying once you figure it out

[meager notch]

Tbh because even when I try to look up others' codes here (someone tries to make stats enhancer too) I can't understand anything, even though it's supposed to be easy

Skill issue

[lofty hull]

yeah thats gonna happen

look at each line, see what functions they invoke

see what they do

look up functions in the UE api

[meager notch]

The weight code by dudes from before is understandable at least

[lofty hull]

and ue4ss

[lofty hull]

#modders-guild-hall message

I made this lil tutorial for the weight code

Weight is by far

the easiest thing to mod in this game

[lusty bramble]

soon 🙏

[meager notch]

Yep found willie_bp_c before but tried to find similar approach to the weight code to avoid making every willie buff

[lofty hull]

Yeah you need to check their team int

easiest way tho

[drifting copper]

armorers room?

[drifting copper]

why bro so yellow

[near field]

mexican filter mod

[drifting copper]

hahah

[drifting copper]

please make a replay feature you know what cinematics we can make and i feel like you can understand because you are a vfx dev

[lofty hull]

Breaking half-bad

[zenith gale]

ALL MODDERS WILL BE WORKING OVERTIME TODAY. YOU MAY ONLY LEAVE THE STATION IF YOU GETS MODS FINISHED

ANYONE CAUGHT NOT WANTING TO MAKE MODS OR NOT MAKING MODS EFFICENTLY WILL BE CAUGHT AND PUNISHED

ALSO GIVE ME STEAM CREDIT

[fleet garnet]

i mentioned that too lmao

[fleet garnet]

GIVE ME A 5 DOLLAR DIGITAL STEAM GIFT CARD CODE AND THEN THE MODDERS WILL LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!

[violet oxide]

#modders-guild-hall message

Try this script. This has worked 100% of the time for me. 🤟

[zenith gale]

ooo waths toyer steam

[silk needle]

I think the reason we can't change the weight is because it's always modified by the height. If you set height to 1 your weight is limited to 83 kg, if you set it to 1.5 weight is 99 kg, and set to 2 then weight is limited to 106 kg.

It is probably hardcoded 🤷‍♂️

[fleet garnet]

duckwithagun854🗣️ 🔥

[fleet garnet]

Jaundice

[lofty hull]

working on my lua framework for halfsword rn, after thats done I can start writing some mods with it

[unreal wyvern]

idk if you could with all the physics it probably wouldnt be a freecam just a static recording

[shell oracle]

i mena you can if you know unreal engine very good and you know how to make files in lua, like from code

[fleet garnet]

"MENA" 🗣🔥

[arctic swallow]

i made this vid formal apologies to anyone offended by my "first to discover" comment lmao I am new to modding and going to try and learn how to actually make mods instead of just modifying save files lol. thanks to all the people who have helped out in this chat, there's so many useful tips here! i was so lost

[worthy moat]

is there any way to track your strength easily?

okay ty

[frozen sable]

i making ufc map now

[fleet garnet]

red bull

[frozen sable]

idk id that counts as modding

[fleet garnet]

does it add in or modify the game files?

[frozen sable]

just adds a map that can spawn unarmed willes

[fleet garnet]

Then its modding lmao

[frozen sable]

[fleet garnet]

make a 1:1 recreation of the entire country of macedonia in half sword and we might count you as a real modder.

[frozen sable]

give me 2, 3 years

[lusty bramble]

looks like the quiver can hold any amount bolts lol

[fleet garnet]

i was bored one day so i decided to recreate an abandoned village called "Vrbica" near where i live, in Hammer as a Gmod Map, placed the roads, 2 houses and just gave up lol.

i honestly lack all motivation to do anything 💔💔💔

[frozen sable]

lol i do that all the time i was trying to make my street and i just gave up half way😭

[ionic aurora]

Ye-ol' belt-fed crossbow

[fleet garnet]

this was the reference photo. (photographed by Dean Lazarevski)

[nimble rover]

is this where im supposed to put in height and weight? and if yes what is the maximum amount i can do it with it still being stable?

[fleet garnet]

yes, Max is 5.

[frozen sable]

wow

[nimble rover]

both?

[fleet garnet]

yep

[nimble rover]

thanks

is it the weight the makes that makes you super musculer or is that something i need to do elsewhere?

[fleet garnet]

ditto but the parts i recreated in Hammer are highlighted in yellow.

[fleet garnet]

Weight makes you buff.

[frozen sable]

were the roads that shape in hammer?

[fleet garnet]

yes (i didn't want to painfully make them in hammer so i found a gmod addon that lets you make roads in hammer way more easier, found out the addon was deleted, found the source code, reuploaded the addon) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3646185010

[frozen sable]

omg thanks so much

ive always hated making roads

[fleet garnet]

map makers crying tears of joy rn

[fleet garnet]

you're welcome.

[restive rampart]

I feel like your the kind of person who'd love enfusion engine tbh, atleast judging from your original goal

[fleet garnet]

i would love infu- what?

whats infusion engine?

[frozen sable]

https://enfusionengine.com/ its the engine for arma games and dayz

[fleet garnet]

i aint a programmer lol

i know jack shit about coding

[restive rampart]

It's not just for coding

[fleet garnet]

oh.

still too complicated for my caveman brain-

[restive rampart]

Hounestly, you'd be surprised, if your just wanting to recreate locations, it's quite straightforward , even allowing you to use 1000s if there own assets include road and railway generation by spline

I usually make levels for extreme sports games, and unless your willing to buy add-ons and plugins it's a very manual process 😆

[ripe mica]

Is there any mod to remove permadeath in progression?

[umbral hill]

anybody know about this remote play multiplayer mod im hearing about? can only find videos of it from what i believe to be the demo, but im curious if it works on EA game, and if anybody wants to be my friend to test it

[fleet garnet]

its not a mod, its a feature.

[umbral hill]

remote play

[restive rampart]

I didn't think it needed a mod

[umbral hill]

not split screen

[restive rampart]

Id recommend parsec tho as software

As it's pretty simple to set up

[umbral hill]

apparently theres a mod that makes it to where you can play online with your friends via splitscreen / steam remote play

[umbral hill]

oh word ty

[fleet garnet]

we don't talk about that mod now.

[restive rampart]

That's an interesting clothes drying rack ngl

[fleet garnet]

my IRL setup btw

[restive rampart]

😆 Im not gonna show you mine, as it takes up infinitely more space and I dont like flexing 🤣

[fleet garnet]

Flex it then, i wont be mad.

[restive rampart]

Wait that's a really old pic I just noticed

Wrong pc entirely

😂

[fleet garnet]

RICH RICH, MILLIONAIRE

[subtle condor]

did mod menu get released

[fleet garnet]

@restive rampart btw i lied to you, i am gonna be mad because i hate rich people. (half joking)

[restive rampart]

😂 the difference is I have a job 😂

But yeah turns out I havent taken an updated pic lmao

[fleet garnet]

update it.

[fleet garnet]

doing chores aint a job /j

[restive rampart]

I 3d model 😆

[fleet garnet]

that counts as a chore in my eyes.

imma be fr, if i were to get a job i still could afford a PC like yours.

[restive rampart]

Hounestly, the pc isn't that expensive

The GPU sure, and I guess now the ram is too 😂

[nimble rover]

ive gotten to the point where i opened the debugger can somepne guide me

[fleet garnet]

how much did it cost?

[restive rampart]

Id say about 2000£ but, that's over the time iv had it, as I essentially bought a pre build first, then upgraded it over time with things like a functional case

The CPU is only a 9700k so that's quite a long time iv had it tbh

[fleet garnet]

2000?!?!?!?!??!? yeah i can tell you are rich.

[restive rampart]

Nah consider Iv had it 7+ years atleast if I count the CPU as the original part

[fleet garnet]

bruh

[restive rampart]

Small upgrades over time cost much less

[fleet garnet]

SON 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[lusty bramble]

shit drain 💔

[restive rampart]

Most expensive part of the entire pc tbh is either the 4070 or the ram

🤣

[restive rampart]

Luke I need you to help me if your on later,

[fleet garnet]

wanna know the difference between me and you for why something is expensive?

[restive rampart]

I wanna get folder structure right for maps

Your from Brazil iirc

[fleet garnet]

wrong continent vro

i'm actually from mars

[restive rampart]

Oh was it SA I can't remember

I do remember someone's from south Africa and someones from Brazil iv spoken to on here 😆

[fleet garnet]

North Macedonia, Minimal Salary here is 360 EUROS!

[restive rampart]

Oh malaka ❤️

[pulsar cape]

HSE

[restive rampart]

Wait north doesn't have as much greek speaking does it 😆

[fleet garnet]

yeah we are slavs

[restive rampart]

Ngl, still a beautiful part of Europe

That entire coast

[fleet garnet]

we are landlocked lmao

[restive rampart]

Yeah but I mean the peninsula

[fleet garnet]

fair.

[restive rampart]

The whole wrap around from Bosnia to turkey

[fleet garnet]

ngl i MIGHT consider getting a job if they increase the minimum pay to 600 euros (it means salary in the pic, just google translate being goofy)

[restive rampart]

Used to live in Greece for 2 years 😂 so I spent alot of time exploring the region

[late swan]

Is that actual game files?

[fleet garnet]

yes

[late swan]

💀

[restive rampart]

Woah you still use denari that's actually dope

[fleet garnet]

no, we use our own currency called the macedonian Denar.

[lusty bramble]

yessir fmodel

[obtuse skiff]

why the f are people talking about politics in the modders channel

[restive rampart]

Not politics tbh, and we did start off with modding

[fleet garnet]

talking about salary isn't political vro 💔

[obtuse skiff]

could be about your dirty pants it still aint modding

[restive rampart]

Plus, let's be honest, some Mediterranean stuff could be real fun

Plus knowing where people are from for me atleast, motivates me to look at different map settings

Id deffo love to make a sort of Athenian harbour style map

[fleet garnet]

make a dystopian, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., post-war ass Village type of map and call it the "average village in macedonia" lol

[restive rampart]

Hounestly Iv got 3 ideas so far

One is a strange future arena where medieval combat has somehow become a popular trend

Lots of arena lights and hopefully a blueprint for a few spotlights that follow moving characters

Some floor traps ect ect

[lofty hull]

the devs have halarious naming schemes for stuff

[restive rampart]

Another's a boat

[lusty bramble]

lol yeah i'm glad they've continued that since the demo

[fleet garnet]

YO, YOU SHOULD MAKE A HALF SWORD MAP WHERE THE ARENA IS A PLANE IN THE SKY AND YOU FIGHT ON THE WINGS!!!

very historically accurate.

[restive rampart]

😂 youv been playing party animals haven't you

[fleet garnet]

i honestly lack all creativity.

[restive rampart]

🤣 that's the thing, creativity comes from desire

So what do you desire to play

[fleet garnet]

patty cake 😭

[teal sail]

when star wars mod?

[limber leaf]

I'm bosnian by blood however they have never took me there nor teached me the language

[shell oracle]

Willie who hasn’t eaten for 5 years ahh

[tardy jetty]

hmmmm

does this increase fps

[tribal bane]

anyone found a way to make weight permenant in progression?

[fleet garnet]

No afaik

[lofty hull]

Using a ue4ss script, theres been a few pasted in chat

[tribal bane]

oh nice

[lofty hull]

I wish writing stuff like this was more worthy of sharing cuz its so fun to make

[restive rampart]

Hounestly I feel like this needs it's own modding discord

So much easier for ppl to share things theyv created without the use of mod Io or workshop which neither are supported yet

[lofty hull]

@lusty bramble considering you are practically the leading expert on modding half sword you should make the server

[uneven basin]

hello, is this still good to follow?

[restive rampart]

Hounestly I don't mind doing it too, just don't expect me to be a heavy handed rule kinda guy

Iv also been apart of alot of modding communities

[meager notch]

Well it works

[lofty hull]

Plus @lusty bramble once ur gun mod is released it'll bring ppl into said server

2 birds one modder

[lusty bramble]

lol yeah true

[restive rampart]

Tbf it should also be a resource of learning

Not just obtaining

[lofty hull]

Right

[uneven basin]

uhh if you don't mind, what are the champion's usual weight and height values? is it 2.5?

[meager notch]

No idea

[restive rampart]

Jumping into your DMS again Luke

[meager notch]

Just to be clear it's not my instructions and I just followed them I'm a complete noob in coding

[uneven basin]

copy that, i'll scour around for any messages with exact values/test around and see what sticks

[nimble rover]

for some reason my height dosent change does anyone know a fix?

[lofty hull]

You need to modify the save, not the value directly

for some reason

[nimble rover]

haha

idk what that means though

i had gpt do this

[lofty hull]

🥀

I cant help u then

[dire shadow]

it means scroll up like 10 messages and look at the save editor lmfao

[lofty hull]

I find ppl that default to chatgpt are not truly interested in learning

[nimble rover]

i do want to learn code

and im going to next year

[uneven basin]

the red number 1? or am i regarded?

[lofty hull]

Its 1 lol

[lofty hull]

without mods, 6.25 is the tallest I can get willie and still play normally btw

[uneven basin]

i'll try and find the exact champion height and just make a character thats that lwk

[lofty hull]

install ue4ss and search the live view for it

it'll probably be easier than trying to get it as close as possible visually

[uneven basin]

i tried jumping into a champion fight and just watching the code run and tryna figure out from there but for the life of me its like reading a different language

[lofty hull]

I would spend time learning lua outside of a modding environment first

If you dont know Lua well enough, you will be struggling with 3 things:
Unreal Engines environment
Half swords environment
And the language itself

knock the language off that list

[uneven basin]

modding is what made me ace my programming college courses ;D

i struggle and struggle until i learn bit by bit

we'll get there

[lofty hull]

ig, but modding like this is gonna be alot harder than in something with tools to show you more than you are provided here

As silly as it sounds, try roblox

[uneven basin]

i'm guessing thats a good jump in point?

[lofty hull]

Its a jump in point, you get to visualize what the code is doing, and its more documented than half sword is

[uneven basin]

knowledge in the unlikeliest of places i guess XD

[restive rampart]

Hounestly if someone can work out the blueprints and stuff to interact with the stuff currently being modified by lua, there's so much you could do without a single bit if real coding knowledge

Just I dunno if what everyone's currently using supports that, iv only ever played with illusory umu

Or ... Every mod loader in unity 🤣

Sadly.. I know plenty about blueprints myself but even python is to much for my 3d modeling brain

[lusty bramble]

ong

(could definitely clean up my blueprints tho lmao)

[tardy jetty]

interesting, maybe it'll help my shitty pc work on half sword

[restive rampart]

Ayeee

For me I usually use blueprints for interactions on my scenes

Like additional button inputs for lights ect or objects that move ect

[tardy jetty]

problem is, i dont have the game

so

too poor

rn

im a beggar u know

i got a 1050ti

[restive rampart]

Yeah honestly ue5 is like the toaster of game engines atm.

Your 1050 will have an aneurysm

[tardy jetty]

i mean i dont plan on playing

high settings

[restive rampart]

Id hounestly recommend avoid most ue5 games tbh

It's just a poorly optimised engine

[tardy jetty]

the demo worked fine for me

[lusty bramble]

my brother is able to play on his rx580 👀 low settings ofc

[restive rampart]

1050 is a good gpu for some things tbh

But ue5 isn't one of them

[lusty bramble]

ohh yeah gotta stare at the wall for it to be playable lol

[restive rampart]

Maybe some old school gaming at upscaled Res

Yeah

[tardy jetty]

luke ur mission is to optimize the game, go soldier

[restive rampart]

But yeah I wouldn't recommend any 50 sku Nvidia from any gen really tbh , atleast go with 60

Yeah, tbf atm that advice doesn't work with ram prices does it xD

But personally iv always bought atleast a 60 or with the 4th gen I went 4070

[tardy jetty]

is the whole game laggy or is it just like

a couple areas

[restive rampart]

But I paid like 20£ more for a 4070... Sooo

[tardy jetty]

slums is ass right

i've heard around

[restive rampart]

Forest is still my worst performing map tbh

[tardy jetty]

what settings

[compact stump]

the only performance issues i have are on the forest fr slums dont even hit me that hard

[restive rampart]

I feel like it's the fog tbh , when it's clear forest runs like slums

If you dont have the money for a GPU but have a good internet connection and want the full pc experience, I can recommend shadow, it's hosted by ovh but it's like 25£ per month

[compact stump]

im on a 5070ti and that forest drops me to a jumpy low 40s high 30s

[restive rampart]

Hounestly I think lumen is pretty ugly in general

[compact stump]

hell yeah man, who doesnt want 16k grass

[restive rampart]

I always end up using hardware Rtx instead

If I have to

[uneven basin]

if anyone is wondering, the height i found for champions through pure buffonary and guesswork is 1.8. good luck

[restive rampart]

dude ngl, baked shadows... can look amazing... lemme show you one of my friends works ... and its in unity too.. which is tbh more impressive

only problem with unity tbh is the people running unity

yeah but making an early access ue4 game isnt cool anymore

thats baked unity, and a custom shader he made

😆 so great the dev of the game hired him after

and now hes remaking all of the games maps basically 😂

this is one of the official ones he remade

trying to find the old picture of that map xD

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HX2Am2q73sk found a clip lmao

you can see its a huge change xD

the clips using unitys real time shadows... which ... there not awful but there not the best either in more busy areas

anyway back to halfsword 😂

in theory custom maps dont have to use lumen if im not mistaken or they can do alot of make it look better or worse i guess too 😂

[lofty hull]

I prefer godot

but yeah

We'll see though, I have faith the devs can pull off making this game function well

I mean the demo turned out great

and looking back at #updates and #work-in-progress, it took some effort to get there

[compact stump]

you should give the itch.io version a try, crazy how far its came

[jaunty reef]

what exactly is the skill_43 double?

[sturdy matrix]

Probably something leftover from some previous idea that went unused.
Haven't seen anyone say it does anything when they try to mess with it.

[jaunty reef]

yeah, i hooked it into ue4ss debug as a lua script and when i ran it with the passport container, it didnt do anything

i tried everything between 0.0 to 5.0, didnt see anything

interestingly, character data thats NOT the player has it still written

[sturdy matrix]

It could be exclusive to npcs since player skill is...well its determined by the player.

[jaunty reef]

you dont say...

well

ill try to push it into likeeee

maybe champion

and see what happens with him

[lusty bramble]

from what i can tell looking at the code, it ranges from 0.5-1 and basically when increased, it makes autoparrying more effective, increases reaction time (for NPCs), makes foot placement more stable, and makes animations blend to feel more snappy or smthn

idk how easy it is to tell tho

[jaunty reef]

i think the animation blend relies on muscle tonus/weight

i've been tinkering with it, and anytime that i use a "heavy weapon" (polearm at >4000g), it scales with how "snappy" it is

almost as if it acted like a dagger

it might be both

[sturdy matrix]

The only way to know if it does anything is to make a mod that makes the min and max skill of all npcs 1 and let people decide if it made the game harder.

[lusty bramble]

yeah tonus does something like that too i think

[jaunty reef]

maybe it uses linear algebra as its interp

[jaunty reef]

uuuuuuuuuuuuu

ill get to work

[sturdy matrix]

If half sword can start getting difficulty and damage rebalance mods ASAP that would be great.

[jaunty reef]

well the problem with damage rebalance mods is that the player can already locally change how much dmg they take + npcs take

base game

unless you mean weapon-specific damage

because in that case im pretty sure theres like

several pieces of math it checks like weight of weapon, blunt vs sharp vs stab, momentum/force, armor vs unarmored, etc

if someone wants to take a crack at it, ill be very eager to see how they handle it

for now, im going to sit here and struggle with uehelpers

[hidden crescent]

has anyone figured out multiplayer with some kind of lan link yet?

[compact stump]

you can use parsec for splitscreen if thats what you're looking for but i dont have high hopes for actual multiplayer to come to the gamein any form

[jaunty reef]

okay i can confirm skill absolutely still does something

[hidden crescent]

bet finna try with a frined rn

[jaunty reef]

@lusty bramble alright here's what my testing says

skill seems to have an effect on the "autonomic" parts of the character

including stance + autoparry

at 0.01. my character didn't have any autoparry whatsoever

his stance was also seemingly different compared to other tests

at 0.5, there was an extremely small bit of autoparry and the stance was seemingly a little more "pronounced"

at 0.9, it looked like a completely normal character. normal autoparry (drift slightly in-line to weapon to allow easier deflects)

the stance looked normal and was also more even

at 1.5 autoparry was deflecting basically everything with very limited effort

not automatically like it deflects + counters for you, but it almost instantly puts the "grip" in-line with the other weapon

making parrying extremely easy

ill take a few clips later and highlight the differences

[lusty bramble]

https://giphy.com/gifs/flight-reacts-confused-55qMK0scNDyZQXrvIH

[hollow sparrow]

Halfsword has different weather and time of day for each map. So the lighting has to be dynamic

Pre-rendered scenes do look cool, but they arent fit for physics sandbox

[lofty hull]

I've tried adjusting it, doesnt do anything that I can tell. I was hoping it effect something like grip but naw

[lofty hull]

Oh interesting

Another feature not provided in freemode

[jaunty reef]

it does do stuff

[lofty hull]

according to luke its for npcs

[jaunty reef]

bro 💔

[lofty hull]

perhaps it was useful in demo but I havent heard autoparry is a thing anymore

[jaunty reef]

all my scripting for naught

[jaunty reef]

?

it is

[lofty hull]

Luke decompiled the game and ported it to cpp

[lofty hull]

Heard it wasnt and that some ppl were happy about that

[jaunty reef]

the baseline might have been reduced, but it definitely still exists

[lofty hull]

ic

I havent noticed it in EA so

I assumed they were correct

[jaunty reef]

skill seems to have a heavy effect on autoparry in a couple ways

one most notable is either the range goes up, or the haste/urgency goes up

lemme demonstrate

[placid sierra]

from looking at the save file during a champ fight it seems its 1.5/1.5 height and weight

[jaunty reef]

here's some footage of the skill double's data edited

keep in mind 3 things

1. im making basically no moves on my mouse, or extremely small ones

2. something like ~1.0 is as close to the autoparry in the demo as i could tell

3. the footage might suck a little sorry

its particularly noticeable with the last one

[sturdy matrix]

Yeah theres a big difference.

Have you tried editing it for the mercenary you hired? Just to see how the extreme affects npcs.

[silk needle]

I just did. It works

However!

[placid sierra]

so skill is autoparry strength?

[sturdy matrix]

Among possibly other things

[lofty hull]

So skill 1 is basically journalist mode

[jaunty reef]

mmmm not exactly

[silk needle]

Your mercenary may bugs out and disappears

Because skill is linked to the mercenary level

1 is knight anything lower is veteran etc.

UI gets bugged as well

[placid sierra]

also barons stats:
height is 2.0
weight is 1.5
and his name is frank

say hi to frank

[sturdy matrix]

I play as Frankys clone every playthrough

[lofty hull]

Let me be frank

[jaunty reef]

as far as i can tell, it's correspondent to how much the character will automatically try to adjust your current guard to some amount of the incoming swing

the higher, the more it'll drift directly to the center of the blow to deflect

the player still has to bring the guard up some amount

but yes, it makes parrying EXTREMELY easy

it'll also change how you're holding the guard by a bit

it might cause your guard to twist a tiny bit compared to your current "held action"

it might not twist at all

until i can get my hands on the source code, i cant really give an absolute answer

[sturdy matrix]

I wonder if maybe in a future update the player skill can be increased through playing

[jaunty reef]

maybe

but the balancing and game design would have to weigh in

VERY heavily

because it was super busted while i was testing it

i like to think im already naturally pretty good at parrying

[lofty hull]

Mmmmmm wrote a little hook handler

[jaunty reef]

but i was parrying just about everything on higher values

[lofty hull]

I love it when I spent like

half an hour writing code

and it just works

first try

[placid sierra]

when looking at the save files it seems only the npcs have a skill value?

[lofty hull]

the players actor also has a skill value

[placid sierra]

wont show up for me tho

[hardy ice]

so whats up with passive parrying

[lofty hull]

also if ur wondering why I break their arms is so they'll at least walk towards me

but not kill me during testing

Need to make them invincible too ig

or modify their fear rate

[silk needle]

Can you try wearing a Bevor with Armet? I deleted the item slot restrictions but it doesn't work

[scarlet vault]

Can i get a refund

[lofty hull]

gonna wanna hit steam up about that, they handle payment processing and refund claims

[scarlet vault]

Ok

Because i cant not even launch the game that it crash

[lofty hull]

If you had half sword enhancer installed, you need to goto ⁨%appdata%../local⁩ and delete HSE folder

then update ur drivers and bios

[scarlet vault]

Ok

[lofty hull]

also make sure u try reinstalling halfsword cuz I did after and might as well retrace my steps to what worked

[jaunty reef]

can i has

please bro let me in 💔

[lofty hull]

what the script?

I thought you were already messing around with lua

[jaunty reef]

i was but like

im gonna steal :)

hey if its less work for me

[lofty hull]

k
⁨```lua
USkeletalMeshComponent = StaticFindObject(
"/Script/Engine.SkeletalMeshComponent"
)

local height = 7.75;
local weight = 3
--Function /Game/Character/Blueprints/Willie_BP.Willie_BP_C:Disentergrate
--/Game/Character/Blueprints/Willie_BP.Willie_BP_C:
--Function /Game/Character/Blueprints/Willie_BP.Willie_BP_C:Disintegrate and drop armor

local function ReduceSkeletalMass(actor)
local mesh = actor:GetComponentByClass(USkeletalMeshComponent)
if mesh:IsValid()==false then
return
end

mesh:SetAllMassScale(0.01)

end

ExecuteInGameThread(function() RegisterBeginPlayPostHook(function(param)
-- The way parameters are passed along to lua from unreal engine is using UParams, which you can turn to a lua variable using :get()
local actor = param:get()

local passport = actor["Character Passport"]

-- But there are lots of actors, swords, armors, how do we make sure we are modifying the right one?
-- We can check its full name to see if it contains our willie blueprint name
if (not actor:GetFullName():find("Willie_BP_C")) then
return
end -- we get the full name, and if we dont find willie in the name, we dont do anything

-- So now that we know we are working with willie, how do we know which one is ours? There are multiple willies...
-- If you poke around willies properties in the live view using ue4ss, you can see willies have a Team Int property. I cant say for sure in abyss or free mode, but in Progression mode, your willie has Team 1
if (actor["Team Int"] ~= 1) then
--actor"Disentergrate";
actor"Snap Neck";
actor"Break Arm L";
actor"Break Arm R";
--actor"Break Head";
return
end -- We dont want to make other willies buff

local tonus = height * weight;
actor["All Body Tonus"] = weight;
actor["Upper Body Tonus"] = tonus;
actor["Lower Body Tonus"] = height;
actor["Muscle Power"] = tonus;
actor["Head Tonus"] = weight;
actor["Skill"] = tonus;
--actor["Step Rate"] = tonus;
actor["Root Height"] = height;
passport["Height_21_0EB204DF4978B92AD0ED188FD32EEC7B"] = height;

ReduceSkeletalMass(actor)
--actor["Rescale Character"](actor, height)
--actor.CallFunction(actor["Rescale Character"], height)
--actor.CallFunction(actor["Set Character Height"])

-- Now we need to configure the stat

--actor["Reset Character"](actor)

end) end)

Just note: 
Height does nothing except adjust the math here. Just update it to reflect ur save files height. 
I'm working on a better script that actually updates ur height

[jaunty reef]

interesting

[lofty hull]

its very ugly code cuz

[jaunty reef]

is this yours?

[lofty hull]

yes

Sloppily written

does not reflect my release code

[jaunty reef]

looks pretty similar to what i wrote

[lofty hull]

Not many unique ways to increase weight

[jaunty reef]

yeah...

[lofty hull]

but the reason its copy and pasted looking

#modders-guild-hall message

is cuz I wrote it in the discord textbox

lol

[jaunty reef]

mine changes the data field containers

specifically passport

[lofty hull]

yea thats what this is doing here

[jaunty reef]

it literally just runs a delay func to update it as the next playercontroller hook happens

its simple

but it works

its actually what i used for modifying my skill

[lofty hull]

Instead next time I'm going to be modifying GI_Settings_C

[jaunty reef]

way ahead of you

[lofty hull]

I'm preparing hooks for it, I have little knowledge of unreal engine so I'm sorta just poking around and seeing what I see from the event viewer, live view, and console

@lusty bramble any idea what ubergraph is?

I see it everywhere

[lusty bramble]

I think it's like the main event graph for all the game's blueprints basically, not entirely sure tho

im not a UE master either lol ngl

[narrow chasm]

How does one edit a save, if any of you would know?
