Bigger Battery

[west sentinel]

Hey man, this mod doesnt seem to be working, havent changed any settings but i feel like pro flashlights are still dying just as fast.

[vast steeple]

I just ran a test with the pro flashlight, one without the mod enabled and one with.

Pro Flashlight
Without - 5:00
With - 6:40

That is with the default config settings, if you feel like you want a greater increase definitely modify the config setting. I didn't want to completely destroy the base game feel by expanding it too much by default and set a reasonable default.

[west sentinel]

i see, i figured the change from 300 to 600 would double the battery time

cause it makes sense that way

[vast steeple]

I agree generally it doesn't make any sense, when I started creating the mod I figured a lower value would be better as the field modified is named batteryUsage.

[west sentinel]

yea so adding 300 = 1:40

is that always or is there like a weird formula lol

[vast steeple]

I'm also realizing I might have switch the normal and pro flashlight...

I will push a patch today

[vast steeple]

Patch v1.0.2

• Fixed error where Flashlight and Pro-Flashlight were switched.

[west sentinel]

a lot more noticable thank you

2 questions, is the zap gun on there and how do I edit the config settings?

This is my first time messing with mods really.

[vast steeple]

Do you have the mods manually installed or are you using a mod manager?

[heady night]

Manually.

[vast steeple]

Do you have a folder called config inside of the BepInEx folder?

[heady night]

Yes, leads me here.

[vast steeple]

Have you run it with the Bigger Battery mod loaded? It should have made a config named this

[heady night]

I haven't downloaded the mod yet but im planning on to once I figure out how to at the very least change values.

[vast steeple]

Ah, okay! The zapgun is called the patcher tool in the config, if you want a longer battery life for it you just need to adjust the value for PatcherToolBatteryUsage = 100 to be higher.

[heady night]

And that'd be done through the notepads inside of the config file?

[vast steeple]

Yes

[heady night]

Alright, thank you so much!!!

[vast steeple]

np

If you do end up using a mod manager, its also super simple there as well.

[heady night]

That does seem much simpler but Im not sure if I want something like a mod manager on my computer. Is the mod manager itself complicated and require a lot?

[vast steeple]

Both of the mod manager available are very similar and super simple. Theres r2modman and Thunderstore Mod Manager. r2modman is just an executable you run to install and thunderstore mod manager can be installed through overwolf. They're just generally a recommendation as it makes updating and installing mods way faster. Theres some more about r2modman here https://lethal.wiki/#/installing-r2modman

totally optional though

[heady night]

Hm, alright, well thank you!

[heady night]

Just downloaded it, do I need to get bepinex on it aswell?

I'll just get it aswell.

[vast steeple]

You will also probably need to remove all the old mods from your games install, they might conflict. The mod manager doesn't put any files in the games folder directly

[heady night]

I just did, thanks for the insight though.

[vast steeple]

If you have any issues with it #help-and-troubleshooting would be the best place to ask, lot of helpful people in there

[heady night]

I will, and my god is this so much easier now aswell.

Thank you so much.

[vast steeple]

np, enjoy

[heady night]
