noob modder question help pls

[kiki78]

I have mod to change height of races - it works nice 

 

I copied whole block of Game.GameData.CharacterStatsSettingsComponent and changed GlobalRaceScale values.

 

Question is - can i delete all other values, or do i need to keep whole block intact? In mods from nexus, i noticed they have all blocks intact.

But in this case, its almost half of original gamedatabundle. And there are values, which scare me - attack speeds and weapon specifics and whatnot. It doesnt seem as futureproof solution (i better redo it every patch, in case anything would change)

 

Can i do it like this:

 

 

{

"GameDataObjects": [{

"$type": "Game.GameData.GlobalGameSettingsGameData, Assembly-CSharp",

"DebugName": "GlobalGameSettings",

"ID": "eddfc852-ccb9-4884-b901-e77e8ca31b48",

"Components": [{

"$type": "Game.GameData.CharacterStatsSettingsComponent, Assembly-CSharp",

"GlobalRaceScale": [{

"Race": "Human",

"MaleScale": 1,

"FemaleScale": 0.96

}, {

"Race": "Elf",

"MaleScale": 0.98,

"FemaleScale": 0.95

}, {

"Race": "Dwarf",

"MaleScale": 0.85,

"FemaleScale": 0.82

}, {

"Race": "Godlike",

"MaleScale": 1,

"FemaleScale": 0.95

}, {

"Race": "Orlan",

"MaleScale": 0.76,

"FemaleScale": 0.77

}, {

"Race": "Aumaua",

"MaleScale": 1.05,

"FemaleScale": 1.02

}

],

}

]

}

]

}

 

 

is it possible this way?

 

(all mainly because aumana are so hideous, and making them smaller is much better lol)

In BMac's tutorial (https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/103384-tutorial-modding-basic-concepts/) he deletes everything he's not modifying

 

Now I'll remove the data I don't want to override. Note that I always need to leave the "$type" and "ID" properties of the object, and the "$type" property of any components I want to alter.

 

So you should be able to do the same here. Give it a try! Worst that can happen is it doesn't work and you have to hit ctrl+z

Thanks!

I didnt really follow any tutorial, i just figured it by watching other mods - according to this info, most of them do it wrong. Time to try it, and also check tutorial.

No (soz @housefly)

 

You have to completely redefine the whole object.

 

When you re-define the object you need to include all the original junk you've got no interest in as the object over-writes the original

 

i.e. if you only leave height in there's nothing else left (it'd be cool if they did a merge rather than over-write)

 

As my friend HouseFly says - try it out

 

Not been here for a bit so may not be up to date (so test)
