November 1, 20187 yr I'm changing The Undying Burden back to what it was before patch 1.1, and the change appears to require a modification of its description string as well. Namely, the belt currently provides up to 10% damage reduction based on the character's health, starting from 0%; before the nerf, it provided a 10% starting damage reduction which scaled up to 30%. I would like to change the description to match what it was before 1.1: Incoming weapon damage reduced by 10% (stacks three times as health is lost, for a max of-30% to damage) My questions are: Can strings be overridden like other game files (i.e. I add a modified string to my mod in the override folder and it gets used instead of the original)? Where can I find the English string to modify? "Time is not your enemy. Forever is." — Fall-From-Grace, Planescape: Torment "It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most.

November 1, 20187 yr I actually just realised I've never overridden a string. I'm 99% sure they can though. The strings are in PillarsOfEternityII_Data\exported\localized\en\text\game

November 2, 20187 yr Author Thank you, everyone! I found the string in question: <Entry> <ID>44</ID> <DefaultText>Incoming weapon Damage is reduced as Health is lost. (Max {0:value:percentbonus} Damage reduction)</DefaultText> <FemaleText /> </Entry> I would like to change it to: <Entry> <ID>44</ID> <DefaultText>Incoming weapon Damage is reduced by 10% (stacks three times as health is lost, for a max of {0:value:percentbonus} Damage reduction)</DefaultText> <FemaleText /> </Entry> I would like the 10% figure, however, to be retrieved from the item's stat block like the 30% is. Here's where the 10% is set: "ExtraValue": 0.1, "OverridePenetration": 0, "DamageTypeValue": "All", "KeywordValueID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "RaceValue": "None", "StatusEffectTypeValue": "None", "ItemValueID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "AfflictionTypeValueID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "StatusEffectsValueIDs": [], "AttackValueID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "AttackOverrideValue": "None", "EventValue": "OnApply", "ClassValueID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "WeaponTypeValue": "None", "AttackHitType": "None", "SkillValueID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "AudioEventListID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "BedRestDaysMinimum": 0, "BedRestDaysMaximum": 0 Any idea what I should type in the description to make it work?

November 2, 20187 yr Heya Andrea, You should be able to use "{0:extravalue:percentbonus}" to grab the .1 (or whatever you replace it with) from that extra value slot. So something like "Incoming weapon Damage is reduced by {0:extravalue:percentbonus} (stacks three times as health is lost, for a max of {0:value:percentbonus} Damage reduction)" =) Hope that helps! I try my very best.
November 2, 20187 yr Author Thank you, Andy! Unfortunately the override doesn't seem to be working Edited November 2, 20187 yr by AndreaColombo "Time is not your enemy.

November 3, 20187 yr Thank you, Andy! Unfortunately the override doesn't seem to be working Did you use the correct folder structure for your stringtable? Unlike gamedatabundles, the localization files need to be in a specific file path. My PoE2 Mods: The Class Project | Thrown Weaponry Kits | Informative Proficiency Descriptions
November 3, 20187 yr Author I put it in localized/en/text/game/statuseffects.stringtable within my mod folder. "Time is not your enemy.
