Help: Changing lua does nothing!

[herrerik]

Hi

Im trying to make some character worse to make the game harder. I go into data/scripts/prefabs/ folder

 

and open wes.lua with standard notepad.

 

but changing any of these to lower multipliers:

inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(TUNING.WILSON_HEALTH * .75 )

inst.components.hunger:SetMax(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER * .75 )

inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = .75

inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE*1.25)

inst.components.sanity:SetMax(TUNING.WILSON_SANITY*.75)

 

...saving the lua, restarting game and launching a new game, wes has the same stats as usual... Do i need to do something more? Set some folders, enable something for changes to take effect?

Thanks alot

Erik

If you have the DLC make sure you go to dont_starve\data\DLC0001\scripts\prefabs first, those files have higher priority.

Cool man, works now!

 

80 Health, 80 Hunger adventure mode here we go!

[herrerik]

ok started a new adventure mode like this

 

Wilson

health max = 75

hunger max = 100

sanity max = 120

Do only 60 % damage

Need 150 % food

 

Anyone set challenges like this for themselves? How low could you go and still make it? (modding is fun)

what you doing its more like "editing" not "modding"

for "modding" you have to make mod

[herrerik]

True that, but its a modified version of the game none the less (yeah i wouldnt call such a "tweak" a mod but anyway).

 

I started on archipelago, died at day 7 of hunger. There was no gold so couldnt craft anything (no sience machine). Will start again on easier first adventure map (such as the game is afoot). 

 

REALLY hard now, really fun:)
