Modifying existing prefabs and brains (how to?)

[Lawrence]

Hello there, I just looked at this  http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/11612-tutorial-overriding-existing-prefabs-and-loading-custom-prefabs/?hl=override

It looks easy, but I think I have not understand

 

Here what I understood:

 

If I want to modify stats and brain of a mob, should I:

 

- Copy the  mob's  prefab and brain in my mod folder;

- Modify them, of course;

- Then add an override command {GLOBAL.TheSim:LoadPrefabDefs( MODROOT.."prefabs.xml" )} in the modmain?

 

 Thank you for help...

The ages of overriding existing files are over my friend : P

You'll want to modify everything via modmain.lua

The apiexample mod from Ipsquiggle provides examples for everything, including a brain modification.

Of course you can put a modified vanilla file into your modfolder. If make sure that relative paths match with the original nothing more has to be done. It's just not the way you should do things.
