I've been putting a couple hours into the forums lately trying to dig up as much info as I can in preparation for tooling around with the editor/data to make some customizations to my gameplay.
I'm having very little luck finding any info detailing what means what in the Stats folder. For example:
1) What is the difference between an .xlsm and a .txt file in that folder (and subfolders)?
2) Why are some of the .xlsm files in the Stats folder and their corresponding .txt files in a subfolder (as opposed to say, ItemCombos.txt which is in the SAME folder as the .xlsm)?
3) Which file do we make changes to to affect the game?
4) Which files need to be included in a .pak for them to work in a mod? (.xlsm, .txt, or both?)
5) What are the meanings of the specific things in each .xlsm/.txt file and how do they relate to affecting gameplay?
If I have somehow super missed where all of the above is related to us, the modding community, please forgive my ignorance. I would really appreciate being pointed in the right directcion.
If that info is NOT out there...I wonder why not? It's been what, almost 7 months since release and this is very simple stuff compared to the other documentation that they have already released and have available on their website. IMHO of course!
I've been playing games for a long time, early 80s at least on Apple IIs and then the PC shortly thereafter. This is hands down one of the best times I've had playing an RPG in a LONG time and I want to publicly thank Larian profusely. Both for their wonderful game and the opportunity to actually customize it!
Thanks in advance for any help anybody can give me!
Take care.
