First time out of the vault
ok here is the thing, I installed patched and put on the jona mods, and the shadowrecruits. I just finished the second mission and going to get the elixer of life. I want to up the elixer to do more, I am the weakest guy on my team and dont like that, I know how to modify the elixer but when I drink it I just get the same oldresults. Could someone help me walk through this.

i know how to extract the files and stuff from .bos to zip. I edited the elixeroflife.ent file but when I drank it nothing happened. I put the file back into the zip and changed it back to .bos am I forgetting to do something to make the game read the changes.
 
I suddenly get the impression you're posting in the wrong forum. And double posting.

Moved to Tactics.
 
First thing don't put it back in the bos file, just create a directory structure (if you didn't when you extracted the file) core\entities\items\Drugs and leave the ent file there.

Second which section did you alter? You can have 3 effects plus the addiction. The elixir has effect 0 enabled, this refers to the primary effect section. The first section, just plain 'Effect' doesn't do anything so add your changes to 'Primary Effect'.
 
I changed the primary stats, upped everything by one. do I have to import data or anthing to the campaing.bos file? will this take affect if I get it after finishing the first misson or do I have to start a new game.
 
As long as you haven't found it yet then the changes will take effect. If you do already have it and don't want to restart try selling it to a quarter master and then (after closing the barter screen and reopening it) buy it back.
 
ok this is what I did.
I opened entities_0.bos, I changed it to .zip, that is where the elixerOflife.ent file is. I opened the file, and modified the primary affects. I then put it back into the entities.zip file, then changed it back to .bos. I opend a saved game ... end of first mission then went there and got the elixer ... still nothing ... what did i forget.
 
You forgot NOT to put it back in the zip.

I'll say it again DON'T REPACK IT! Put it in core\entities\items\Drugs.

BTW when you're using the Jona mod you'll probably find it overrides a lot of the changes in the Shadow Squad mod.
 
Ok, I am going nuts, I took the elixerOflife.ent file and put it in core\entities\items\Drugs now when I go the the garage there is NO elixer at all. I am going to uninstall the game and reinstall it cuz I have been messing around with all the dang files. If you could give me a detailed laymans terms walkthrough that would be great. BTW Requiem I really do appreciate this. And thanks again

Uninstall, delete your 14 Degrees East or FOT folder so you get rid of all changes. Install, unpack the files BUT DON'T rename the extension to zip, either associate the bos file with winzip or just drag and drop the entities_0.bos into an open winzip window.

Extract the files making sure that you use the folder names option and extract them to your core folder so you have the directory tree core\entities\ etc. Now apply the 1.27 patch.

Then you can edit the elixir entity, just open it in the editor make your changes and save it but DO NOT repack it in the entities.bos. That way at least if you don't like the changes you can always re-extract it.
 
it worked .. thanks so much.
now if I can get the Jona campain and recruits to work ... I am not leveling up quicker and start with farsight, and stich,
thought there was riddick
 
You'd only level up quicker by playing Tough Guy, where you can only save in the Bunkers. Neither mod changes the xp reward for enemies.

As I indicated above the Jona mod and Shadowrecruits are probably incompatible since they both make changes to the recruit files.
 
I just put on the Shadowrecruits and now that the elixer works the way I want the game is awsome ... little faster paced . Thanks for all your help
