I've modded files in the past, but something is preventing me from modding now. I'm using the same method as before, extracting the files using UABE and importing, etc. When I get into game to check my change, the ability is gone...
Example: I changed flames of devotion to have 3 charges, when I get into game, flames of devotion is gone from my character as if I never picked it. Level 1 paladin, no talents.
If I make a new character with the edited file in the game, i can pick flames of devotion at creation. When I save the game and reload it, flames of devotion disappears. Why is this happening? I'm getting the same problem with any file I edit, no matter if the ability or talent is a passive, (bloody slaughter), or active (FoD).
