Is there a way to go about removing the "safe zones" that designated areas have like main hub town's have?
Some quests bug out where npcs you need to kill are bugged out in said places. If you can remove those restrictions might make a good debug mod for some quests.

Hate to ask but are there any guides in here or tools that can unpack utoc and ucas files of mods? I know how to pack and unpack pak files but I cannot for the life of me figure out the former.

hallow sand

#

Does anyone knows why ReZen pack my files like this? I can't figure out how to pack utoc/ucas

image.png
cobalt hamlet
#

u can't pack utoc and ucas

#

its a different way to pack mods

#

needed for somes parts of modding

#

like localization, customs textures(with ue) etc

#

if you want to pack only cfg, u can manage with UnrealPak

slow lake
#

Yes cfg are easy and I managed to replace some textures using UE5.1

But now I was trying to edit a reference in the attachments wheel animation

cobalt hamlet
#

so whats the problem ?

#

ReZen always repak things with utoc,ucas and pak

slow lake
#

So the utoc files that I cooked and packed with Unreal Engine work fine and I can open them in FModel

But if I use ReZen the utoc shows red in FModel, the AES key is fine, and if I test it in game it doesn't work

cobalt hamlet
#

Ah yes i see what do you mean, yes REZen probably using a custom AES key

slow lake
#

And I can't cook it with UE cause it's an unversioned file, maybe I just extracted it wrong

cobalt hamlet
#

nop

#

its related to UnrealReZen

#

Maybe there is a way to use your own aes key dont know

slow lake
#

I used my own, it's the same I used in FModel, I tried with and without the 0x

it should, it takes ur whole gun from you

some meds

Now we need anxiety medication in the loot pool too lol

gamma

#

thts why cigarettes and pills exist

#

would calm you down

#

just another layer to the hardcoreness that people seek for in gamma

silk totem
#

ahh. I'm a "rookie" Stalker. GAMMA wouldn't even let me get out of the first base, so I didn't end up playing it much. I probably should have tried Anomaly, but I'm enjoying Stalker 2 a lot!

crimson laurel
#

you dont get to panic in stalker gamma but still, would be a good addition when everything in the zone is quite frightning specially in stalker 2, where he has to go inside the zone because his house got hit

silk totem

So many jump scares!

Stalker gamma is still to this day the best stalker experience i had and probably my best survival game one too

crimson laurel

thin marsh
#

Damn thing is free as heck, runs on pretty much most computer and is like 10x more complete than any AAA on the market

silk totem
thin marsh
#

I don't want to break it for anyone tho but i severely doubt that stalker 2 will be moddable to the point of getting better or even close to what GAMMA is. (i hope to be proven wrong...)

thin marsh
crimson laurel
#

it will certainly, highly be better than xray engine

#

xray doesnt hold up with performance

#

it's dogshit

#

sometimes i get more performance in stalker 2 than i do in gamma

silk totem
#

GAMMA was built over years though and there is a learning curve with UE5 that everyone is working with.

crimson laurel
#

a lot of people knew ue5 tho and, theres a bunch of tutorials

thin marsh
#

I wasn't talking strictly performance at all, of course it will get better

crimson laurel
#

u can say otherwise about gamma

silk totem
#

Being UE5 is becoming the industry standard at the moment, I think we'll see a lot of stuff over time.

thin marsh
#

But the SDK provided for stalker 2 will set the limitations to an extent, of what will be possible or not

crimson laurel
#

the only question that remains is how freeing the sdk will be

thin marsh
#

If the SDK is super limited, then we are out of luck essentially

crimson laurel
#

even if the sdk is super limited is always better than no sdk

#

and thats a step up in my opinion

thin marsh
#

I mean... you didn't even need the base gamme to use GAMMA beacause oyu had Anomaly for FREE

thin marsh
silk totem
#

Hopefully the importance of modding to the community is kept as a priority

thin marsh
#

There is hope... but in today's gaming world, profit is what matter most as we have seen times and times again

crimson laurel
#

games that have a modding community tend to succeed much more

#

even san andreas is there to count stories

silk totem
#

I don't think these guys resonate with ubisoft/activision and the like.

# crimson laurel games that have a modding community tend to succeed much more

It keep the game alive for the most part but in cases such as anomaly, it keep the reputation up but the profits not as much since you don't need the game to play it, the devs make no money onto it at all, it's not a sustainable model even if in a way some people buy the other games of the franchise, it isn't significant...

Games like DayZ live through modding but the devs sell DLC's to make profit cause otherwise they lose money and go out of business

stiff canyon
#

it also depends on the game itself. Is it "worth" modding or does it need a lot of modding at all. Is there even a "market" for modding. I mean i hope we get a good SDK but with having those dlc stuff and such things in mind to make bank i would rather keep my expectations low just to be on the safe side. If we get a "worthy" SDK the modding community would probably welcome it with open arms and more

crimson laurel
#

and many gamma players have bought the game to support the devs

as far as i know not until we get the sdk

crimson laurel

sdk is just a tool

thin marsh
#

It's not JUST a tool bro

#

Skeletal mesh, animations, material are all crash causer, so no new weapons until proper SDK

thin marsh
#

It's the essential part needed to implement mods and pretty much anything significant

spark plinth

#

from a company standpoint i probably would first work on fixing the most important mainquest related bugs MAYBE alife stuff before i spit out modding tools 😄

thin marsh
crimson laurel
#

theres no reason to give modding tools already

when u gna have to update the sdk too

just a waste of time

I hope Stalker2's SDK won't take as many years to release as the Metro Exodus SDK did.

Hello, guys, please can someone explain how the Drunkness working?
I want to add new effect in EffectsPrototype with duration of 120 seconds, and effect like vodka drunkness but 50% easier. But cannot understand how the config for effect are working in this case.

VodkaDrunkness : struct.begin {refkey=[0]} SID = VodkaDrunkness Text = Drunkness Duration = 5.0 Charges = 10 Type = EEffectType::Drunkness ValueMin = 30 ValueMax = 30 Positive = EBeneficial::Positive ShouldPauseByDialog = false struct.end

especially this variables
Duration = 5.0 Charges = 10 ValueMin = 30 ValueMax = 30

Can someone help?

#

the only thing in terms of "modding" i can do is fiddle around with basic stuff mainly because i had to learn how to turn off chromatic abberation in a lot of games because it was not an option to turn off ingame PepeHands

crimson laurel

currently am just studying to make new loot to spawn all around the world and stuff, but am only gna start doing stuff on it once hotfixes are set because the folders i know i have to edit have over 150k cfgs

editing over 150k cfgs and then the next hotfix fucks it up 😈

#

@half willow Something to consider if you don't mind looking into it, could you possibly look into integrating your DLC mod loader functionality as a automatic process for MO2?

#

It's Python, so not sure if you're familiar with it or not. I woudl look into other plugins like Bethesdas loading process to get an idea.

clear mountain
#

@foggy hinge Seems like two files referencing same file would result in unexpected behaviour, I have an optional file which references same file (UpgradePrototypes.cfg) main file references, but when I put those .pak files some of upgrades were reverted to vanilla

foggy hinge
#

One of them doesn't touch the same upgrades, right?

#

AFAIK it should work fine with different .cfg files referencing the same ref url and key

clear mountain
#

yeah which is pretty weird, all of my .cfg files are modifying existing upgrades so iirc it should work fine...

foggy hinge
#

Give Herbatas modloader a try, you should just be able to use the same cfg files but instead loading them as a DLC.

#

Same process essentially other than just loading your changes as a DLC.

clear mountain
#

for now im coding for automated refurl process

foggy hinge
#

👀

#

I'm curious to know what ya mean

clear mountain
#

well the optional file removes upgrade restriction, which makes one upgrade blocks other upgrade

#

so the optional file has way more upgrades than main file... so some of them are in main files, others are not

#

I had to make a script to read main file and change refurl to point main file if the upgrade is in the main file, else point to vanilla cfg

#

which, seems to work fine

deep ridge
#

Have there been any updates in finding a method to reference call variables from corevariables.cfg?

sand vault
#

We need a shotgun suppressor, like the one from No Country For Old Men.

#

It just fits the Stalker aesthetic very well

clear mountain
#

Wait for the official modkit...

sand vault
#

How hard is it to change the 3D model of an attachment in the game right now? I'm seeing people add attachments from one weapon to another, and shotguns already have muzzle devices, so shouldn't be too terribly difficult to move one of the suppressors over to the shotguns.

#

Yeah, it'll definitely be easier then

#

Has anyone figured out how zombie health works? Even with the same HP and body part damage multipliers as regular humans, they tank way more damage

slow lake
foggy hinge
#

Are you talking about the damage coefficients?

#

BC you'd edit those to be higher values if you want it equalized.

long lantern
foggy hinge
#

Ah, maybe then yeah

long lantern
#

I've been working on a realistic ballistics mod and thought about making a zombie alternate more like 28 Days later, they die like a normal human but move fast

#

You can put the DamageCoef for the body at several hundred and they'll still just fall down and get up

Ahhh, that makes more sense. I'm confused on how it differentiates between the suppressed and non-suppressed.

#

You shouldn’t be confused

Oh, right so it is just a sound modifier and muffles the original sound with specific settings.

Based on findings in Mutant Loot thread it appears two files modifying the same structure will be incompatible with each other.

barren timber
#

Is there a mod that allows you to sleep in ejection shelters if they have a mattress?

foggy arch
#

can we edit the gun's posistion

#

416 is too close to screen

#

make the gun looks very fat

summer silo
#

People figured out how to modify specific attachments that already exist on a gun but without mod tools we can't really move this forward.

#

The only option so far is modifying the global viewmodel_fov cvar that you can do with stalker2tweak but this will affect all guns

foggy arch
#

so we still need to wait for mod

#

To summarize
If Config A

   VitalParams : struct.begin
      MaxHP = 1
   struct.end
struct.end```
is loaded before Config B
```Bloodsucker : struct.begin {refurl=Bloodsucker.cfg;refkey=[0]}
   ItemGeneratorPrototypeSID = MutantBloodsuckerGenerator
   struct.end```
Then Config A's changes are rendered null
#

That's basically because Config B loads the original MaxHP value

#

In theory... Doing something like this in Config B should make both changes apply

   ItemGeneratorPrototypeSID = MutantBloodsuckerGenerator
   struct.end```
sinful cypress
#

Ah, great, thx!
Will test next week a bit with this idea

summer silo
#

I wish we had something like DLTX in stalker 2 kekl

#

There the only thing you worry about is if some other mod wont load after yours and modify the exact same change.

summer silo
sinful cypress
#

Hmm, so cfg with Templates in it need also refkey=structname?

which weapon rebalance mods are people liking a lot?

#

Having a hard time finding one that doesn't make the game feel way easier

#

Let me get an example of my fine rq

#

So in a ObjPrototypes folder, I have a new .cfg file named RG_MutantTweaks.cfg, I created a new struct with a reference to the ObjPrototypes/BlindDog.cfg file using the Blinddog struct as a refkey

# 
Blinddog : struct.begin {refurl=../ObjPrototypes/BlindDog.cfg;refkey=Blinddog}
   StaminaPerAction : struct.begin
      Crouch = 0.02
      Walk = 0.01
      Run = 0.015
      Sprint = 0.1
      Climb = 0.5
      Jump = 20
   struct.end
   
   VitalParams : struct.begin
      MaxHP = 60
      RegenHP = 0.03
   struct.end
   
   MovementParams : struct.begin
      WalkSpeed = 600.0
      RunSpeed = 600.0
      SprintSpeed = 600.0
      ClimbSpeedCoef = 0.6f
      JumpSpeedCoef = 1.f
      AirControlCoef = 0.1f
      BaseTurnRate = 30.f
      BaseLookUpRate = 40.f
      AimTurnCoef = 0.8f
      AimLookUpCoef = 0.8f
      CrouchSpeed = 150.f
      LowCrouchSpeed = 100.f
      RunDiagonalBackCoef = 0.6f
      WalkDiagonalBackCoef = 0.6f
      WalkBackCoef = 0.6f
      RunBackCoef = 0.6f
      MoveBackCrouchCoef = 0.6f
      MoveBackLowCrouchCoef = 0.6f
   struct.end
struct.end
#

I only edited the values I needed, and removed everything else.

#

If anything, I don't need the rest of movementparams other than walk, run and sprint

# 
Blinddog : struct.begin {refurl=../ObjPrototypes/BlindDog.cfg;refkey=Blindog}
   StaminaPerAction : struct.begin
      Crouch = 0.02
      Walk = 0.01
      Run = 0.015
      Sprint = 0.1
      Climb = 0.5
      Jump = 20
   struct.end
   
   VitalParams : struct.begin
      MaxHP = 60
      RegenHP = 0.03
   struct.end
   
   MovementParams : struct.begin
      WalkSpeed = 600.0
      RunSpeed = 600.0
      SprintSpeed = 600.0
   struct.end
struct.end
#

So those values are the only thing edited.

#

And AFAIK, everything else is untouched/unedited.

#

No real way to confirm, but their health and speed are adjusted.

#

I'd use Polish Translation fixes but then Mutant Loot stops working kekw

foggy hinge
#

Nice, I think using the refurl to the specific file then using the refkey set to the SID is the right approach

eternal sapphire
#

Every version of every mutant should now drop mutant loot, as well as whatever they have in vanilla.

summer silo
#

@eternal sapphire You added the mutant loot text into the base localization file right?

eternal sapphire
#

The last update did change some things in it fyi

sinful cypress
# foggy hinge So those values are the only thing edited.

Thats what I meant, theoretically you could add many own created cfg, as long as they edit OTHER lines of the original cfg.
If a new created .cfg edits the same lines, afaik the last one (alphabetical order) wins and overrides the changes.

BUT this is a bit harder to track for the "normal" user (to know which cfg edits what) and they cannot merge the loose, thats perhaps a bit a downside

foggy hinge
#

Ohh, I see what you mean

#

So edit the original file but also implement your own changes in a new cfg to combine them

#

We just need the damn SDK at this point

Has anyone encountered the problem that your character moves slowly, as if you have a heavy weight encumbrance, but you do not even have a slight weight encumbrance (the weight of the backpack does not exceed the green field of the advantage indicator)? Restarting the game doesn't help, nor does loading saves.

Try to remove all your equip and re-equip it, maybe an item is bugged

Can someone tell me please, where is knife parameters as weapon is located? I can’t find it in weapons configs 😦

Guys, please help. Few questions. Maybe someone already works with Effects,Consumables,Localizations?

  1. Is it a way to create cfg with extended effects for EffectPrototypes.cfg? For ConsumablePrototypes it's working.
    Example for ConsumablePrototypes: NewFileWithNewConsumable : struct.begin {refurl=ConsumablePrototypes.cfg;refkey=[0]} But not for EffectPrototypes NewFileWithNewEffect : struct.begin {refurl=EffectPrototypes.cfg;refkey=[0]}
  2. Is it a way to introduce effect like drunkness but without camera shaking?
  3. Is it a way to use some other texts for effect instead of "Weak", "Maximal" etc for consumables?
  4. Is it a way to add localization's for new effects?

Help me i am stuck 😄 😄 😄

Quick question regarding ammo drops. While looking through DynamicItemGenerator.cfg there is a bunch of weapon categories looking like the one below. Does ammo max count determine how much ammo is in the magazine or how much ammo is on the body?

   Category = EItemGenerationCategory::WeaponPistol
   PossibleItems : struct.begin
      [0] : struct.begin
         ItemPrototypeSID = GuardGunUDP_HG
         Weight = 1
         MinDurability = 0.25
         MaxDurability = 0.5
         AmmoMinCount = 2
         AmmoMaxCount = 4
      struct.end
   struct.end           
struct.end```

@eternal sapphire @cobalt hamlet @neat thistle @lapis sierra Instead of making patches between your mods, you should make a collective mod posted on the Nexus that acts as a library for all mods. This way, anyone can contribute changes to it and also have one mod act as a library for localization changes.

And since localization doesn't require anything to function other than itself, you can just insert the SIDs into the language files and have them be there without even being used.

#

Hope I pinged the right people. KEKW

#

I would recommend hosting the source files on GitHub so people can make pull requests to the localization files.

Wait a minute…
Why couldn’t they just put it on all the ak modles?

foggy hinge
# eternal sapphire tbh the easiest way for me to make patches atm is if everyone just had a localiz...

Yeah, but what I am saying is that there's a single mod on the Nexus that can be used throughout all mods, which is upkept regularly with all the changes needed for any mod that requires it. So any mod that is editing and adding new localization entries would just need to contribute those changes to that shared mod and any other mod on the Nexus using it also has those changes so you avoid the need to make patches.

IDK if that's 100% true though honestly. BC even in the localization files themselves they have the same sid categories split throughout and not in order.

I think something to do with how it loads the localization file just requires your new ones after any of the same ones, and not in a specific spot.

Does anyone know why an edited .cfg file would revert back to it's previous values when no other mods are editing that .cfg?

foggy hinge
gentle sapphire
# foggy hinge Make sure it's named the same and in the same folder structure.

When you unpack a .cfg with unrealpak, does it unpack everything starting from inside the gamedata folder? Because I'm trying to modify .ObjPrototypes.cfg and when I unpak the mod containing it, .ObjPrototypes.cfg isn't in a subfolder like other .cfgs are. Like .ArtifactPrototypes.cfg is in the ItemPrototypes subfolder. So I'm wondering if .ObjPrototypes doesn't have it's own folder within gamedata..

some other mod you have must be overwriting their configs so the game freaks out trying to find the original config of the mod that added stuff and it dies

change their names so that they're last in the mods folder

Anyone knows if there's a mod allowing to shoot in "safe areas"?

Also pakchunk12-windows.utoc has a bunch of them ifa you're missing any of those.

#

They're all split up into Biome's an such, I could slowly add them if you wanna add me as an editor, or it's there in PC12 ^_^

ripe flame
#

There's a big chance those are not used. Game has a lot of junk leftovers.

#

There's, for example, 3 (THREE!) folders with same button prompts

As I understand sid_items_..._name is template for items names translation? Where ... must be SID from ItemPrototypes? Cause it's all so confusing :0

Must not be ItemPrototypes, depends what you want to edit

I did something for weapon degradation, maybe it helps you if you take a look at the cfg I made

#

And someone made a howto for his GameDLC approach (which I didn’t use) but basically it’s the same thing

Am not at Home, but I think Herbata was the one who made it

Hi Where can I get help with "Shay's Living Zone (An ALife mod)"?

#

it's not difficult to fill out at all, anyone in here could do it, it's just very tedious and time consuming. (which i dont mind doing, but there are soooooo many textures to keep track of it) it would be way too overwhelming to do all by myself. but i'm open to suggestions and/or contributors.

Or is this more of a reosurce for mod authors to make patches?

That's what I understand from it.

Oh shit, mint! That looks really useful and impressive!

#

This may be a really early thing to ask, but do you plan on tackling other types of cfg files that aren't specific to items? Like effects and abilities?

You can use the refurl and refkey values in the structures of each .cfg file. Those usually indicate the base structure it uses, like mutant files. If you look at Blinddog.cfg you can see it references MutantBase.cfg

  1. original file structure
  2. exported from my tool

I wish someone made a tool for adding sounds to the game via some kind of tool like this 😄

#

@lusty sail But you're doing awesome work, man

#

Modders need this kind of shit

#

Since GSC don't give a fuck about us

lusty sail
#

I don't even know how to add sounds 😄

Bruh

#

Chill and let them fix things. Phil said release, they release.

neat thistle
#

Man, they said not once that they're making a huge bet on modding with Stalker 2. And where's it all? Right now if you want to uninstall mod which adds smth to the game, you need to sell mod items to vendor, sleep until restock, make a save and only then remove mod and continue to play. I thought this would be the first thing they could implement - removing non-existent SIDs from your save on loading - if they make a bet on modding, right? But maybe I just asking too much, idk.

#

And this is just 1 example

#

Little one

ripe flame
#

You are treating current state of the game as a finished product, which is a mistake. Also, they do not choose when to release it. Also, imagine fleeing your country because of war and develop a game while missiles and drones fall on heads of your family and while you lose your friends. Your statement sounds kinda selfish. Give them time, they earned it.

oh no a mod just broke the game 🤓

#

they literally on the polish (yet they are ukranian) phase, i heard in a interview they are/will work directly with some modders so

#

dont stress on a phase that is in polishing

ripe flame
#

Yes. Noone cares and loves Stalker as these guys. They literally live to make this dream come true.

crimson laurel
#

if they truly want mod support possible, we modders can report "bugs" that we as modders can't fix, such as the items not deleting or being cached somewhere... whatever it may be when the mods are disabled

ripe flame
#

That's actually a good point that will yield results

#

Discord rant won't get you anywhere 🙂

#

Me myself already reported some stuff earlier, but it's obviously not a priority rn for them, so I do not expect fast fixes, but at least I know they know

crimson laurel
#

yeah i literally cant play this last update bc it crashes me the moment i open the saves, even without mods

#

every like 50th try it lets me play until

#

until i restart the game

ripe flame
#

That could be 3rd party or drivers problem

desert valve
#

finished it today btw

#

after 94 hours

was only after the update, even updated the drivers to the newest nvidia drivers tht just launched

they updated release candidate

oh i will play it again at some point when its properly finished (and hopefully running a little better) 🙂

the definition of "fine" is also widely different for each person 😄

torpid halo

What do you define as fine?

desert valve
#

120+ fps avg with 90+ 1% lows

#

which i get rarely in S2

torpid halo
#

Ah yeah then that makes sense. I get around 130-150 in the wide. In most towns around 50-70

desert valve
#

yeah as soon as there are mutliple NPCs around im getting hardcore CPU limited

#

but your right, i guess if the cpu was up to the task i would achieve my "fine" goal

Could anyone help me fix a localization conflict? I did things following the directions to have Real Weapon Names, Mutant Loot and the Faction Patches mods and everything is working except the faction patch names being gibberish

I don't think I have anything else conflicting with it but I'm not 100% sure

Is there a way to get "modular hard mode's effect and consumables" mod to work with a "no drunk effect from weird water" mod? Can I like, just merge them? Or editing modular's would be easier?

Just have to manually make a mod folder for it in MO2 then

I did due to the outcry that many wanted it compatible with other mods.

If anything, people can download it and still do their merging method.

Clean Save File for Testing

Maybe this helpful for some of you with testing. This is the save file I have been using to play around with things. It has 6 hard saves at different world states in different hubs for you to test stuff with. Look at the 'Region' of the save to pick your world state:

  • Prypiat: End end-game where most people will have exo's
  • Yaniv: Mix of heavy armor and exos's
  • Restok: Halfway through the campaign, roughly the start of 2-3 point armors
  • Zaton: Enemies start wearing armor above 1 point and start to use better weapons
  • Lesser Zone/Cordon: Start of game, mostly bandits with no real armor or weapons

If you use this:

  1. Turn off auto-saves. It'll just add messiness to the load states.
  2. Remember to swap out these files with your active playthrough do not merge/replace it with what's in there. It will override your saves and they will be gone.
  3. This is for steam (AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\STEAM) not sure if it will work with other platforms.
  4. Nothing in here should give you an steam achievements or anything like that.

OKAY

#

I got a working version of the MO2 plugin to use both Herbatas mod loader as well as .pak files packed from something like repak

#

This however will require mod authors to start packing their mods in Paks/~mods

76C5B641-6B33-47F0-8B38-1E469BF09F35.png
#

You can run Herbatas mod loader tool via MO2 and it will automatically detect any mods in the proper folder structure.

sinful cypress
#

May I ask why "we" need the DLC-Approach and the Tool for that?
I mean, Loose files can also moved to FILEPATH => "Stalker2_Content_GameLite_GameData_xxxPrototypes_modname.cfg" and just need to be a .zip (or similar) file.
So no Tool needed

torn haven
sinful cypress
#

No offense! Just want to know, maybe I didnt notice something?

foggy hinge
#

Is it possible to load loose files with no DLC load order?

#

BC I am confused by Stalker2_Content_GameLite_GameData_xxxPrototypes_modname.cfg

#

Is this the file name itself?

#

Or meant to be a path?

sinful cypress
foggy hinge
#

Ah, so the folder path

sinful cypress
#

I load it this way and it works

foggy hinge
#

I think it's because loading loose files is limited to certain ones only maybe.

sinful cypress
#

AH, that may be

foggy hinge
#

I think it's all the same honestly.

#

It's just a matter of what way you choose to do it IG

#

BC the method I explained seems to have its changes overwritten regardless, and I believe Herbatas is the same.

sinful cypress
#

As long as you really edit ONLY the lines you need and leave the other stuff of the original CFG untouched, the compability should not be a problem.
I only included one line per example:
//Durability
DurabilityDamagePerShot = 0.0
And therefore all other mods which affect the PlayerWeaponSettings and dont edit degradation will work

foggy hinge
#

I had thought that too, I did more testing though and figured out that entire .cfg files are overwritten though even if you edit one line. I was hoping this wasn't the case.

sinful cypress
#

Depends on what you want to change afaik

foggy hinge
#

BC

sinful cypress
#

Nope, took me 3 hours yesterday to find it out and to prove it works, after that I quitted for that day ^^

foggy hinge
#

The idea is that the mod that makes changes like Groks need to edit the original game files, while mutant loot can add in the new additions like mutatnt loot and still have it.

#

Okay, so since after I swapped my mod to use the standalone cfg files and edit the mutant stats in its own cfg file, with mutant loot, I noticed mutant loot didn't have the search option anymore.

#

Meaning my tweaks were overwriting it completely.
