-How do you edit globals.dat using GUTS? I'm trying to give all players a 1 hp/s health regen for example.
-Make summon skills de-summon existing monsters, instead of constantly adding existing summons everytime you cast it? One of the summon mods in the workshop managed to make summons persistent, but forgot to put a limit to the amount of monsters you can summons so it breaks the game.
-Edit a current mod (which is in .mod format), assuming this is not a mod you created yourself
-Double the amount of armor on all equip, without editing each piece of armor individually
-Does anyone have any clue what some of the graphs do in the stat line editor? Stuff like "armor player by level for set" are very ambigiously named.
-I tried to make coup de grace (the engineer passive) give a stun bonus exactly the same as two hand mastery does. So i copied over the effect to coup de grace passive (affix), but ingame the skill is not showing the stun bonus at all. Do i need to do something else to make it work? Both skills are passives and call one affix, and the affix has the stun effect setup exactly the same as the railman two hand mastery affix, but it does not show up ingame at all.
Also does anyone know how item requirements are determined? Is it set per item? Some items (especially uniques) have REALLY high requirements for what are pretty terrible stats, which doesn't make sense if it was auto-calculated from the bonuses.
-
Looking at the magma spear stats now in the skill editor, and it's got some very confusing values. For some reason it has "requires dual wielding" set to true and is listed as a non looping skill, both of which are obviously not true ingame...these are vanilla values by the way. What is going on? These values are in the main skill section, the level 1-15 entries have different values.
-
Does anyone have any idea how the heal spell works? The affix is set to heal 1000 hp over 4 seconds, and ALL levels of the heal spell use the same affix, but that obviousyl does not translate to a flat 1k hp heal ingame for all levels...
Edit : This is weird, i modified the wildwood set item bonuses but the set is still showing the old set bonuses ingame?
-
Hey, Question! :)
You have too many questions. :D
-
Yea theres not much documentation available sadly.
Also : Does anyone know how to fix the regent's boss chest not being enabled after you kill him? I only got it to work the first time, killing him the second time onwards does not enable the chest so i cannot open it...
-
-How do you edit globals.dat using GUTS?
You can do this using any text editor, Notepad++ for example.
-Make summon skills de-summon existing monsters
This is possible.
I'm not sure whether you can do it, but you should have 2 different effect.

-Edit a current mod (which is in .mod format), assuming this is not a mod you created yourself
Yes, you need to unpack the appropriate mod. If a mod has some "non standard" things, errors may occur.
-Double the amount of armor on all equip, without editing each piece of armor individually
Just change the graph ARMOR_PLAYER_BYLEVEL_FORSET.DAT
-Does anyone have any clue what some of the graphs do in the stat line editor? Stuff like "armor player by level for set" are very ambigiously named.
See above.
-I tried to make coup de grace ...
I'm not so good with skills.
Also does anyone know how item requirements are determined?
Well, the requirements depend on the graphs ITEM_*STAT*_REQUIREMENTS.DAT

Thanks a lot!
Looking at globals.dat now...some of this stuff doesnt make sense. E.G. :
<INTEGER>MIN_RANDOM_ENCHANT_SLOTS:2
<INTEGER>MAX_RANDOM_ENCHANT_SLOTS:2
I'm guessing enchant refers to green items, but they obviously do not have a min slot count of 2...
<INTEGER>MIN_UNIQUE_ITEM_SLOTS:10
Uniques obviously don't have a minimum of 10 slots either...
<FLOAT>ENCHANTER_SOCKET_CHANCE:20
<FLOAT>ENCHANTER_MAGIC_CHANCE:70
I'm guessing socket chance means the random chanceto get an extra socket to any item (assuming you aren't using the socket enchanter), but what does magic chance mean?
<FLOAT>ENCHANTER_PRICE_PER_ENCHANT:0.25
This doesn't appear to be correct...the price increase is way more than 25% going from 1-2 enchants...
Respawn times : I tried setting them to 1, b ut i still needed to visit two other maps to get them to reset. Is there a way to get them to reset without doing that? And re-roll the world without using the LAN game option? Very hard to look for phase beasts/secret rooms when you keep getting stuck with the same map...
I tried putting hp regen 1 in globals.dat and it shows up as 1 hp/s ingame, but it obviously regenerates WAY faster than 1 hp/s...what gives? Is there another way to do this? I tried giving the player units a passive effect with 1 hp/s regen, but it does nothing...
Any ideas on how item generaiton works? For example, canons are always generated with at least a certain amount of knockback, but what decides that? I don't see anything in either the item editor or the spawn class that says "hey, generate with this affix all the time".
Speaking of affixes, is there a way to find one by the effect? I want to edit ALL the mana regen affixes, but the vauge names in the affix editor are causing me to miss a lot. I can see ingame that there is an affix called "Focusing" that is mana regen, but i can't find it in the affix editor because most of them have very unhelpful names like add_any_200 whatever that means.
I've already done all the ones that say "mana" but i must have missed some...
Spells : Is there a way to get them to scale by player level? Use owner level/mastery graph doesn't work for some reason. Really struggling to make the damage spells worthwhile because they are weaker than your own skills and stacking passive spells like adventuring is a much better option.
Weapons : I want to give crossbows a piercing missile, it doesn't look like i can do that via affixes, so i want to edit the missile itself, but i can't find out what missile they use or how to restrict it to crossbows only because the item editor just doesn't have that information. Any ideas?
Managed to fix the bugged regent chest, turned out to be a scripting error.
Edit : I cant figure out how minions work at all. Looking at the stats of the skeleton warrior (skill version) in the monster editor, they dont have "level to player" checked...but neither do pets, and pets definately level with the player. They have "can mouse over" and "targetable" checked, but you cant mouse over them, while you can with pets. I'm also not sure if minions regenerate hp or whether interrupts work on them...or whether "unittype" makes any difference other than to put it in a different category in the editor.
Skills again : I tried to make the duration of fire bomb longer, and i edited the unitspawners for firebomb AOE, which had the correct duration values (they matchd the tier bonuses). But ingame, it still lasts the default amount of time? Why?

<INTEGER>MIN_RANDOM_ENCHANT_SLOTS:2
<INTEGER>MAX_RANDOM_ENCHANT_SLOTS:2
<INTEGER>MIN_UNIQUE_ITEM_SLOTS:10
Uniques obviously don't have a minimum of 10 slots either...
Well, I suppose it's other slots. :) Not "socketable"-slot, here means "affixe"-slot. UNIQUE_ITEM can have 10 affixes.
I tried putting hp regen 1 in globals.dat and it shows up as 1 hp/s ingame, but it obviously regenerates WAY faster than 1 hp/s...what gives? Is there another way to do this? I tried giving the player units a passive effect with 1 hp/s regen, but it does nothing...

Well, yes it is a complicated and time-consuming work. No one promised it would be easy. :D

I think you need to rework spells and add this feature.

Hi Question. I just read thru the last 6 or 7 posts between you and Kva. The one thing that I want to stress is that Kva is right - it's simply not humanly possible to learn all the things needed to make a decent mod in just a week.
So I have a suggestion; if you can figure out the top thing you'd like to finish first for your mod, then we can combine the available brainpower to make it happen for ya ;)
EDIT:
Also agreeing with Kva - do browse thru the wiki (http://torchmodders.com/wiki/). It's not 100% complete, but there's quite a lot of stuff in it already (and it's more complete than Runic's I would dare say)
EDIT2:
You asked about "opening other mods" - this is actually a really good way to learn what makes a mod tick.
1. Once you have the .MOD file of the mod you wanna open up, make a mod folder for it in the "mods" directory where your GUTS editor is. This is where the .MOD will be unpacked to.
2. From inside GUTS, select the "unpack" utility from the "Utilities" choice in the main menu.
3. In the unpack dialog box, the first entry box is to select the .MOD you'll be opening up. In the second entry-box, you should select the folder you made for the unpacking (in step 1). Click OK (or similar) and it will announce when it's unpacked your target .MOD to the target folder.
You'll be able to see each and every file that went into making that mod. I suggest just opening them up in a text editor first (Notepad++ suggested by Kva is a great option) to see what they're made of.
After a while (and along with reading through the wiki and forums and asking questions) you'll be able to understand the "patterns" of what makes these files do the things they do. It's a long process and frustration will be your enemy. But if you can stick with it, eventually it'll become fun.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've been looking at the wiki but there's just way too much info missing...and the official documentation doesn't even include a full list of tags and what they do. It doesn't help that both GUTS and the game code appears to have been cobbled together with no standardization involved...the skills editor has a very handy search feature, but NOT the affix editor for some reason...
I managed to figure out how the heal spell worked. For some reason it scales using a graph even if there is NO graph defined under "graph override". Most affixes do this as well and there doesn't appear to be a way to see what graph they use by default?
Using an effect to give players HP regen : The problem with adding an affix to players seem to be that they don't affect existing saves, only characters created after the mod is activated. Is there a way around this?
Is there a way to open the base weapon files in GUTS? I don't see that option anywhere...i can see what base weapon file a weapon type uses, but there is no option to open it in the item editor...
Missiles : I know how to make a missile piercing, but the problem is i can't tell what missile the crossbow uses. That's not included anywhere in the crossbow files that i can see...i'm looking at the real arrows thread but i don't understand what it does, is it implying that the bows/crossbows ingame do NOT use "missiles"?
Spells : Does anyone know how to make them scale by player level then? As both mastery graph and use owner level do not work, neither does setting the stat to experience level.
I've opened up a couple of mods to take a look and managed to get some ideas...for example i opened up "deeper pockets" to try and add a sort button to the shared stash. I did it exactly the way the other sort buttons were done elsewhere except that they are set to shared stash, and i can see and click the sort button ingame, but it does nothing whatsoever...anyone happen to know why? They have the same scripting logic and inventory controller setup.
I'm currently trying to figure out why i cannot remove sounds from pets...i have made a mod that removes it for the pets using the monster editor, and i can see that they do not have idle sounds, but ingame they STILL have idle sounds...do i need to do something else? It is driving me crazy. The crab and jackal pets spam their idle sounds every couple of seconds which is really annoying.
I also tinkered with editing transmuting recipes a bit...does anyone know if there is a way to make the socket recipe work for socketed items, but only if it has 2 or less sockets?
Also i was trying to figure out how the fire rate of looping skills work. Looking at magma spear, it has two entries set to "minimum cooldown 500" and "duration 180". How does that work out? The actual cooldown per shot is obviously not 0.5 seconds, since i can fire at least 3 shots per seconds.
I also just found that pet/minion boost effects do NOT affect minions summoned by your pet...they only affect your pet or minions summoned by you. I can make an affix like "share the wealth" that targets unittype "pet" i guess, but that would ALSO affect other player pets which i want to avoid. Does anyone know a way to make the skill work for only your pet + minions summoned by both you AND your pet, regardless of whether the spell is equipped by you or your pet?
Some other stuff i've been thinking of trying if its possible :
-Make pets auto loot everything just like how gold is automatically picked up by your character
-Make pets auto attack smashables
-Anything that can be done to improve AI as monsters seem to ignore your pets in most situations, making it unnecessary to buff their armor/hp to keep them alive since you are going to draw all the aggro anyway.

Much in the game is hardcoded, you can`t change it, but there are exceptions.
By default, bows uses the BOWMISSILE.LAYOUT missile. It is not specified in the base file, but you can change this, as Anarch did in MISSILE_BOW.mod

Thanks, that seems simple enough.
Okay can someone explain this to me...i set the haste spells as "dont create" and set their rarity to 0. Yet i can still get the spell from transmuting. Why? I can't get the old TL1 spells via transmuting this way, and they simply have "dont create" checked.
I feel like i'm being trolled...
-

I do not know why, but you can change UNITTYPE:SPELL for anything else(UNITTYPE:ITEM for example), I think this will solve your problem.
-
Thanks, i will try doing it with a blank unit type just in case. Its really weird how it keeps spawning even if its set to dontcreate though...just in case, mods at the top of the load order are loaded last and will overwrite everything before it right?
-

Yup.
-
I believe the spawning behavior of items is set via the spawnclasses file, not in the item itself (can't check for sure as im not on my gaming PC at the moment)
-
I thought that the dontcreate flag would still take priority though? Unless Runic thought it would be a great idea not to do that...
About items, i dont see anything in the spawnclasses that tell the game how many AFFIXES to roll on a particular item. I know there is some data in the globals.dat, but it doesnt differentiate between unit types, for example, it doesnt mention anything about how to make a 2H weapon roll for more affixes. I'm also confused as to when the game will roll for affixes and when it won't...for example if i create a unique with less than 12 affix slots used, will the game roll randomly to generate affixes for the remaining slots? Is there any way to force the game to do that?
My main issue now is how to get some pets to stop making noise every couple of seconds. Ive already set the pets to no sound by removing all the sound files in the unit editor, but that did nothing for some reason. I had to resort to deleting tons of soundbanks to get them to stop barking/growling/etc every couple of seconds.
Engineer summons are still causing problems though. They are not listed in the soundbanks (or at least, not with their own names) so i cant figure out what soundbanks they use. The soundbanks they use are not listed anywhere that i can find, not in the unit editor, not in the .mesh file itself...there is no mention on the runic wiki where to find that info either.
The healbot is creating a LOT of noise even though the unit file itself contains no sound. I have no clue how the game knows what sound to play when the unit itself doessnt has that info. The bot just keeps beeping and whistling every few seconds...incredibly annoying.
Ive tried opening up the healbot's .mesh file in the animation editor, but that didnt show ANY sound related data at all. Neither is there any sound data for the support bot's heal aura skill.
And something else (which might be the healbot as well) keeps making a crackling electrical noise. I cannot see anything in GUTS that is causing this.
Does anyone have any clue how to figure out what soundbanks are being used so that i can remove them? The fact that its not in the unit file itself is extremely weird...

I opened up aura.layout to take a look, but the sound there is referring to the heal soundgroup. Using the console command sounddebug, i figured out that the healbot was set to play the "minimecha" soundbank 100% of the time, that's not mentioned in the particle creator or healbot.animation...would you happen to know where the game stores that info?
Also I figured out some stuff related to item affixes.
-Setting an affix to not spawn on any difficulty will cause items to spawn with empty affixes instead of re-rolling for another affix.
-If an item has ANY static affixes (like uniques), the game will NOT roll for additional affixes even if there are spare affix slots left.
-Socketable affixes that are set to unit type : socketable only without any corresponding armor/trinket/weapon affixes seem to cause the socketable to spawn with empty affixes.
I edited the affix wiki article to make a couple of changes but i'm not sure how the stat modifier is true thing works.
From what I can tell, if stat modifier is true (assuming using effect level as the stat), the formulae is base value + (base value * effect level * stat percent), is that correct? The formulae on the official wiki is very confusing and poorly worded.
I'm confused as to why there appears to be no way to have a skill that starts at, for example, 25% bonus for the first level then +2% per level without making 15 different affixes for the skill. Using the mastery graph doesn't appear to work if you want the skill to scale non-linearly. I tried playing around with using effect level and stat modifier percent, but it keeps giving me very weird values.
E.G. I put base value as 23%, set stat percent to 200, and stat modifier percent to true. I thought this would do 23% + (effect level * stat percent), so i would get 25% at the first level, and 27% at the 2nd level. Instead it gave me 69% which seems to be 23% + (23% * 200% * 1) for the first level.
Affix duration is also confusing. According to this site's wiki, putting a duration of 0 and using "affix duration" would cause the game to do, for example, 100 damage per second for [affix duration] seconds. I thought this meant "duration" in the "affix edtior", but that doesn't appear to be working...i set the affix duration to 3 seconds and the EFFECT duration to 0 seconds, but ingame it just shows me "X damage" instead of "X * 3 damage over 3 seconds". Trying to set duration to 3 seconds in the skill does nothing....what is going on?

Hmm ... I do not know what kind of sound you have in mind. Because my healbot has no sounds except aura. Maybe you hear ambient or something else?

.LAYOUT files reference soundbanks by their GUID string, while the .ANIMATION files use the soundbank's NAME string to call the sound.
The GUIDs and NAMEs of soundbanks are defined in the .DAT files which are in the MEDIA\SOUNDS folder (they start with [SOUNDDATA] ). They're usually per category (hence skills.dat, player.dat, etc).
You can make new files like these to introduce new soundbanks into the game.

If you summon a healbot and then use the console command "sounddebug", you can see that it will keep playing the minimecha soundbank.

Which .layout file are you referring to though? Healbot.animation doesn't contain any sound data, so i guess that would be in the .layout file, but i'm not sure which .layout file you are referring to.
The problem with the .dat files in the media/sounds folder (which seems to be the same ones that the soundbank editor uses) is that it doesnt tell you which monster is using those soundbanks. Some are properly named, but some aren't (like minimecha).
-
My healbot does not use these sounds, it works quietly. :-[

Weird, maybe you already have a mod that disabled it or something...

Oh, i was referring to using the sounddebug console command ingame.
