I modify items, but doesnt change in game

[quikesan]

Hello:

I wanted to modify the stats of some items of the original game with the entities editor.
I have edited for example, the thresholds of the ghoul armor. I have tried placing the edited .ent in the folder:

...\Fallout Tactics\core\entities\items\Armor

and it doesnt seem to work

I have also tried to insert the .ent in the entities_0.bos file, and still doesnt seem to work: the stats of the armor remains the same, not as I have changed.

Which file does the game uses? the files inside the entities_0.bos or the files in the folder ...\Fallout Tactics\core\entities\...

How can do to maje the changes I make, take effect in the game?

thanks a lot!

Starting new game might be a good thing, because editing resource entities (and levels as well) have no impact on ones you've already found - once you meet them ingame, they get stored in savegame file and are called from there afterwards.

Hm, quite a grave smashing, but...

It's not required to really start new game. Savegame saves only items, that actors wear/keep in inventory. But items sold to QM are changed. So you want to do it in such way:

1) Load you save with ghoul armor and sell it to QM;
2) Save in another slot and leave;
3) Edit entity (if you unpacked files from entity.bos then you don't need to mess with bos-files further) and save it.
4) Load newly created save in game and buy Ghoul armor from QM

If there several GA in your game, make sure other placed somewhere else, so you don't miss changed one. Well, all GA in QM inventory will upgrade...
