i want to get into modding this game, and the first thing i'd like to do is mod damage for various skills.
first, is it even possible?
second, how will i go about doing this?

You can read this thread for example
https://discordapp.com/channels/746211612981198989/1049863603475468329
mossy meadow
i'll look at that
wanton nova
Same applies for skills, except you're interested in SKILL.TBL
mossy meadow
first i'll read trough that thread and click some links
if i need further assistance is it fine if i ping you?
wanton nova
You can write here your questions, yes
mossy meadow
okay
i am in the github page, but i dont see any releases
in the thread it says to open something in 010
but theres no executable or anything
wanton nova
Just download it all as zip
mossy meadow
ah i just realised i had to actually install 010 editor
im opening the p5r_tbl.bt file, aswell as the skills.tbl file
but nothing is changing
this is what i've got
nvm figured it out
ok i changed base damage to something insane
now, to save, i press ctrl S?
wanton nova
Yeah
Keep in mind that the game uses square root of base damage
There's also a useful table to compare base game skills

mossy meadow
Keep in mind that the game uses square root of base damage
uhh
im not sure i understand this
wanton nova
The game uses square root of this number to determine skills damage
So the base damage isn't 240 but square root of 240
mossy meadow
So the base damage isn't 240 but square root of 240
so the base damage in reality is 15?
wanton nova
Yeah, 15.4919333848
wanton nova
Yeah, because that's only the base damage
mossy meadow
i see
wanton nova
It's is then scaled by stats, level, passives and who knows what else
mossy meadow
i see
wanton nova
It's basically useful in comparison with others skills
mossy meadow
so if i turn hassou tobi's 40 base damage into something like 1000, it will deal 31 base damage
wanton nova
Yeah
mossy meadow
is the scale multiplication or something else?
wanton nova
Keep in mind though, this is base damage of one hit
mossy meadow
Keep in mind though, this is base damage of one hit
yes, i am aware
wanton nova
is the scale multiplication or something else?
What scale?
mossy meadow
What scale?
scale by stats and stuff
is the damage multiplied by stats?
actually i dont even know what im talking about
i'll have to see
mossy meadow
okay, i think i've done what i want to do, how do i repack this into a usable mod?
do i have to repack all unpacked files or just those that have been modded
wanton nova
it's in the thread I believe
mossy meadow
i'll take a look
wanton nova
only modififed
mossy meadow
oh
wanton nova
You're modding for PC right?
pliant imp
wanton nova
Where exactly?
wanton nova
Once you created the reloaded 2 mod, you need to recreate structure of p5r mod and stuff
mossy meadow
i think i've done it
i think
i just need to get to a point where i can actually use persona
wanton nova
I can give you a save file if you want
wanton nova
Like?
mossy meadow
i forgot how to run the bt file
wanton nova
It's in the thread
wanton nova
And what happens instead?
mossy meadow
nothing
maybe i packaged it wrong actually
i'll check some other mods
as suggested in the thread
ah, i packaged it wrong
í may have also not enabled the mod lmao
oh yeah it worked now
but it didnt inflict despair as i had hoped
i'll have to fix that
time to test again
i just wish the loading was faster
so i dont have to reboot each time
whoops, now it deals 1 damage per hit
do i have to reboot each time i make a change to the mod file?
wanton nova
Yes
wanton nova
There's also a useful table to compare base game skills
https://docs.google.com/...
This is useful for comparisons
mossy meadow
okay so there isnt anything higher than 1300, interesting
whoops, too much power
anyway, i've achieved what i wanted to, and i now know how to mod the skill stats, thank you very much
wanton nova
Sure
mossy meadow
One more thing tho
