It's hard to tell exactly what's going on without knowing what you did to produce those saves, but it sounds like you had the "pantry" mod installed when you produced the "beforefish" save and then removed it? In this case I would not expect the items to disappear from the store since the ModScriptHook has already run and generated its items into the store's inventory. After that point it doesn't matter whether the ModScriptHook continues to exist as the items have already been generated.
Once upon a time I could diagnose this myself but then you made saves key checked (or something like it)
I can no longer extract a save - mess with it - rebuild it
I will ATTEMPT a fail + pass in the AM - not sure this will work, but I'll give it a go
Hell - this is why you employ testers

I'm STARTING an exploration into adding new quests
Not positive this will work as may need questdata.gamebundledata and it's association (happens twice)
In THEORY I can create a Bounty at the minimum (this should actually he possible anyway)
I have more fun in mind, depends on my explore of the quest system
Some ideas I have in mind are scripting in a romance with the Queen, Guild asassinations etc
Do people want to do a Tute on this kinda concept?I can't guarantee it'll work
After this I'm moving to NeverWinter (hate mail) - wanted to leave you with some useful methods
Funny story - I started our group but one idiot is being a complete ass... He's more important to the group than myself - SOMEONE has to leave. I have to make a group decision so I'm leaving him in and moving (unpaid - so screw this junk)

I'll bump this one up the list
No promises as this is all completely at ModDevs

I wrote a new mod yesterday that both fails and passes depending on my save
I'm using ModHook to load two diffo lootlists - this was intended to be a nice thumbs up piece showing how ModHooks make LootLists invulnerable to known issues
Problem is - it don't always work and I can't work out exactly what the fail criteria are (nothing in the output log)
I've been trying to nail down a reason all day and it appears to stem from the save I'm using
Attached are two saves and the mod1) Clean override
2) Install the save (beforefish.zip)
3) Load Zak -> before fish + talk to FishMonger (this is implied in all tests from now on)
You SHOULD only see fish but you get The Pantry even though the Mod ain't installed, notice at the bottom you DON'T get First Mod Great Sword
4) Install first_mod004.zip in override
Now we get First Mod Great Sword as well (which is a bit better)
Now lets try this again with the save reallybad.zip
5) Kill the mod
6) Load Mapper -> Really Bad - OK this one's fine
7) Install the mod again
8] Load Mapper -> Really Bad - Eek, this one's REALLY BAD
"8)" gives me a damned emiticon - should be number eight ) -
I'm rather upset with Obsidian (savegame issues)
Still broken
Spent all day writing a Tutorial I got finished about 1PM
Does anyone test POE2?
I welcome the new additions but ModScriptHook is broken
I can provide savegames that prove this to be true
Some Q+A team
Pissed off that they re-introduce an issue we were informed they fixed with ModScriptHook (works but is still affected)
-
Rats
I've worked out what's wrong
SaveGames again...
Attatched is my latest build which has First Mod and The Pantry
What we're illustrating here is adding multiple lootlists to one NPC
[A personal note] Yep, I write all these by myself so why do I write these as "we"? Simple answer, I'm not the only bloke(ess) involved in these TutorialsI get a HUGE amount of help from our 34 member Slack team - members translate into languages the Mod Author doesn't know, create art, write imaginitive text, advise and test for usI'm not a one man band - I'm a 34 member band!
All we're done in this Mod is change the vendor to FishMonger in Port Maje - stuck two lootlists in one mod and added a view controller (techie crap that means what you see) - that's in lootlist.gamedatabundleIf you start a new game you get the modIf you talk to FishMonger - toughI hoped to make this one positive but sadly ModScriptHook appears to hit cacheI HOPE that in 2.1.1 SaveGames simply ignore and ModScriptHook (@BMac)This is a fully functioning Mod but I feel little requirement to explain it (there's one UUID change)This is a full copy of The Pantry (so remove it if you have it installed) with a changed First Sword -
I apologise
Midnight Sunday and I'm having issues with GenerateLootListInto
My intention was to show you this new technique
It works but I'm gonna have to do a ground-buildup to get this one working first
-
Yeah - it sucks and going on our poll in team 43% of our group can't do Steam Workshop
This hurts both Steam and OBS so (as per my group post) I'm attempting to work a solution out
Note that this may never be resolved
It'll at least need to go thru internal politics with both Steam + OBS
I simply hope we get some resolution to this sooner rather than later
Steam Workshop is full of one ModDevs replicated Mods and many of us can't even upload to Steam
I have legal recourse in the UK but I don't wanna use it - I fix it for all of us (our group) or nobody
Stuck this on BMac (sorry my friend - I need someone to contact to pass it on to marketing / sales etc) -
Is this a quest mod? Was this hard to make and what did you have to do? I'm curious about the limitations of the game for modding new quests.
Nope it's a LootList mod
I've got a Quest addition in mind - these are theoretically fairly easy now but I've got to do some research first. This is why I asked the OnDeath question.
Basically creating quests is now fairly easy as they let us set globalvariables (we requested this for something else actually)
Bounties are also easy using a LootList - Assassin is basically a test of this ability.
I've got more research to do on this stuff

Well - this one's tanking!
I'll have to hit the feel-good stuff again and ignore reality I guess

Think DeathMatch in POE2 (kills Rep)
"Dereo The Lean in the Gullet has dispatched a courier to assassinate our Queen to further his criminal empire!
We don't have any idea who the assassin is, we simply know they have close to 1,000,000 cp they are carrying to the assassin.Your task, if you accept it, is to kill the courier and get a LOAD of cash!"

This is fun (caring for our team screws me doing Mods)
https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/220/
I'll only tell OBS + the team who the target is
The result of this one is inventive (really need to do more Mods)
Check the mod out - it's not perfect but defo works
@BMac - the OnDeath - can't trigger it, big plans for that one...
-
I need a statuseffect for ondeath ...
I went with an Assassin Mod (just finished it)
Gave some random NPC about 1 million cash to carry (slightly under)
I need the statuseffect to show the Modal I guess
Can you poss gimme a sample of a death triggering a statuseffect? Lack of dox makes working it out by yourself stressful.
On the bright side - I've got a functional Mod that gives you a load of cash
The mod is designed to be dark - not telling anyone who has the cash, simply that they have a LOT
Deathmatch + loads of rep loss - will be great fun for ppl who have completed the game
Couldn't have done it without the Mod Hooks (thx for those)
-
Cool
Been experimenting...
I kill a friendly and trigger a LootList
This is part of a DeathMatch concept I have - we have no multi-player so I wanted to do something similar
Now...
The reward - gotta be a good one
I was thinking of skipping you straight to endgame - nahh - lets make that one harder
I'll do a shed load of coin for it - works for now
I've mentioned this in a sticky thread - it's a fun idea
Only I know who to kill - everyone else has to go mass-kill everyone in Queen's Berth
I'll try it out now
(had to switch the "Not")

Finally got around to uploading the new prettified JSon for 2.1.0

Had it for a few days (did it immediately cos it takes all of a minute once I get the game directory to my local server)

Bug: Game v2.1.0.0021 no longer allows you to add new cyclopedia entries.1It is no longer possible to add new cyclopedia entries through .gamedatabundle-files.
The game wont recognize the following GameDataObjects:
{
"GameDataObjects": [{
"$type": "Game.GameData.GlossaryEntryGameData, Assembly-CSharp",
"DebugName": "GlossaryEntry_The_Wheel",
"ID": "e0063488-d45e-4c0f-a428-ce446bbaf862",
"Components": [{
"$type": "Game.GameData.GlossaryEntryComponent, Assembly-CSharp",
"TermCyclopedia": 288372001,
"TermGui": -1,
"DescriptionCyclopedia": 288372002,
"DescriptionGui": -1,
"CategoryID": "c2b238b2-c72b-4770-b847-43d18678477c",
"ShowInJournal": "true",
"CaseSensitive": "false",
"AutomaticallyAddLinks": "true",
"LinkedEntriesIDs": [],
"ParentObjectID": "9a09068c-0b52-4a44-bb98-0119de678068"
}]
}]
}
This GlossaryEntryGameData will no longer works as intended when used in the latest beta patch (v2.1.0.0021).
The game still applies the AutomaticallyAddLinks property in a correct manner and highlights the new keyword (both in the cyclopedia and in dialogue text) although you wont be able to click on the link as it doesn't lead to a cyclopedia page, nor will a tooltip pop-up when hovering the hyperlink in dialogue text.
The .stringtable entries I'm trying to link to looks like this:
<Entry>
<ID>288372001</ID>
<DefaultText>The Wheel</DefaultText>
<FemaleText />
</Entry>
<Entry>
<ID>288372002</ID>
<DefaultText>Thought to be of Engwithian design, The Wheel—also known as “<link="glossary://GlossaryEntry_Beraths_Wheel">Berath's Wheel</link>” or the “Wheel of Life and <xg>Death</xg>”—facilitates the process of reincarnation. Upon the death of a living creature, its soul enters the In-Between. When the In-Between grows full, souls move on to the Beyond where they wait to be redistributed into new bodies, new lives.
Without the Wheel, and therefore the means of moving into the Beyond, it is speculated that the souls of all who die would <i>remain</i> in the In-Between. The Beyond would empty, eventually ending life as we know it in Eora.
It is not known, however, when the Wheel was constructed or what, if anything, came before it.</DefaultText>
<FemaleText />
</Entry>
Although I don't think these entries specifically are causing the bug as I've been able to get them to load properly by referencing them from an already existing GlossaryEntryGameData by doing this:
{
"GameDataObjects": [{
"$type": "Game.GameData.GlossaryEntryGameData, Assembly-CSharp",
"DebugName": "GlossaryEntry_Beraths_Wheel",
"ID": "6b1a6b57-477a-425f-b419-fb1bf57e0b2f",
"Components": [{
"$type": "Game.GameData.GlossaryEntryComponent, Assembly-CSharp",
"TermCyclopedia": 288372001,
"TermGui": -1,
"DescriptionCyclopedia": 288372002,
"DescriptionGui": -1,
"CategoryID": "c2b238b2-c72b-4770-b847-43d18678477c",
"ShowInJournal": "true",
"CaseSensitive": "false",
"AutomaticallyAddLinks": "true",
"LinkedEntriesIDs": ["6b1a6b57-477a-425f-b419-fb1bf57e0b2f", "68661c8d-52fa-4d8a-a722-0119e7403484", "30dd45b1-97e5-4d29-8a20-734a96df1feb"],
"ParentObjectID": "9a09068c-0b52-4a44-bb98-0119de678068"
}]
}]
}
I used the already existing GlossaryEntry_Beraths_Wheel to link to my new stringtable entries and it worked flawlessly. In other words: this issue seems to be isolated to new GameDataObjects and doesn't seem to affect already existing ones.
What I've done to try and isolate the bug:
- I double checked to see if the game uses either the DebugName or the UUID anywhere else in the game files (they're not).
- I've tried running the game with a completely cleaned out "override" folder to see if the issue stems from any other mod (it doesn't).
- I've gone through the output.txt log to try and narrow things down further but haven't seen any errors that might be causing this bug.
Although I should mention that the game doesn't like using the same entry name twice as I get this error in the output log:
ERROR: Duplicate glossary entry 'Glamfellen' in entries 'glossaryentry_Glamfellen' and 'GlossaryEntry_Cultures_Glamfellen_Subcat'.
Unfortunately fixing that error (caused by using the TermCyclopedia ID 1050 twice) did not resolve this issue.
I'm not sure what else I can be doing at this point except forwarding my findings to you BMac and the rest of the development team with the hope that this will be resolved before the patch goes live.
Only thing that springs to mind is that it might be caused by the following feature added in the patch:
- Mod data that doesn't affect gameplay (atlases, portraits, strings, images) will be loaded when playing God Challenges
Maybe the game, somehow, thinks that I am playing with God Challanges turned on (I'm not) and thus wont load new GameDataObjects?
---
All in all, awesome work on the new patch–really digging the new Enchantment UI and the ability to see your skill tree outside of leveling up, very nice additions to the game for sure!
Kind regards,
S.

Update on my situation:
I've managed to get the game to load the gamedatabundles but there doesn't seem to be anything in particular that makes them load. I've been trying to have a look at the output.txt log to try and figure out if there is something going on behind the scenes that I can fix but I haven't been able to see anything of note so far.
I will attach the output logs to this post in the hopes that they will make more sense to someone else.
output_log_020918.txt – Couldn't get any gamedatabundles to load in session.
output_log_020918_v2.txt – I was able to get the mods to load properly only on the last save game I loaded.
output_log_020918_v3.txt – I started a completely new game to eliminate the possibility that my old save was causing the problem but the gamedatabundle files didn't load during this session either.

Update #2:
For anyone reading this post (but skipping what BMac says just down below) this is a known issue that OBS is fixing before 2.1 goes live!
Hi my friend - been meaning to look into this for a few days now
Not fixed
I'm running fairly sparse

Rats - another month with no more new updates (soz)
Concentrating on 2.1.0
Will do another Tutorial over the w/e to show you a summon (this will be cool)
PROMISE this time (very busy)

You mean something like this would work?
Junk ID in sample
OBS will hate this Mod
Kill a random person in Neketaka and something happens
Snippet...
"Conditional": { "Operator": 0, "Components": [ { "$type": "OEIFormats.FlowCharts.ConditionalCall, OEIFormats", "Data": { "FullName": "Boolean IsInActiveScene(Guid)", "Parameters": [ "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" ] }, "Not": false, "Operator": 0 }, { "$type": "OEIFormats.FlowCharts.ConditionalCall, OEIFormats", "Data": { "FullName": "Boolean IsDead(Guid)", "Parameters": [ "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" ] }, "Not": false, "Operator": 0 } ] }, -
This is gonna work!
I hope...
I've done a drop on <someone in QB>
God - I'm gonna be writing this for days!
What would you like the end result to be?
-
Anyway I can do this?
When a SPECIFIC NPC dies (as per printInstance oei_hovered) I wanna trigger a Teleport
-
Thought I'd take this one stage further now we're live on 2.1.0
The save (random_guy.zip) is some - err - random guy walking around Port Maje
The Mod is the other one - simply changed the lootlist.gamedatabundle to target him (TWICE) rather than the pig
To test this one out make sure you've got no other sample mods in this series installed and install this one (ID clash otherwise - being lazy)
Load Modder -> Random Guy and pause straight away!
You want the friendly guy who's walking North under the trees - switch to attack mode (Sword in the UI) and kill the poor guy (bad rep for this) - he now drops the piggy loot!
I then wen't on a killing frenzy in PM (actually only killed one other) and that one didn't have piggy loot.
The DebugName on random_guy ended in _Clone - I'm not gonna slaughter the entire town to find out, this was just a diversion as I wanna wait til after DevStream for anything new
Rationally every single character will have a different ID - otherwise the clones would do stuff at the same time
This technique is, however, extremely flexible
You can create a really cool item and 'hide' it on someone
You simply need to printInstance oei_hovered the poor sap and you've got his / her UUID in ClipBoard ready to paste into lootlist.gamedatabundle
I feel a Quest coming on
"Someone in Queens landing has the most powerful <insert item> in the world, kill them and it's yours"
So you have to go slaughter Queens Landing simply to find out who has is
This changes the game in ways the Devs never saw coming

One big thing for Modders is that we can now safely add items to just about anything (I've even done it on the Wild Boar on the Beach at the start)
One issue we've had until now is that savegames cache the contents of the Vendor so if you've already visited someone and seen their Store then a Mod will fail - we now can make sure this always works! The actual fix is very easy to implement...
This does require updating Mods to use the 2.1.0 GenerateLootListInto stuff our group's (see my Sig) been asking for for ages
If you're a Modder I've written detailed examples in the Modding (Spoilers) sub-forum - it's in one of the stickies
-
Why don't they post these in Announce or some target forum?
I usually hear about these things in our Slack group (see my sig)
A calendar or something would be handy with the content described.
I sorta imagine they're pushing Steam tonight...
There have been many updates on a Modding level - not sure which Qs to ask til it starts?

I like the RemoveAllItems
Will this work with PC (Player Character)?
Do I use the b1ade ID?
It provides an interesting idea for swapping out Sets
