I'm trying to create a simple mod to increase the amount of weight each character can carry.

These are the steps I've done so far (I'm going to be as detailed as I can):

1. In the Editor I created a module called 'My Mod' with dependencies set to Mods/Main and Data Packs/Main.

2. I chose 'CharacterCreation' as the level to open. Once this was all loaded, I then closed the Editor.

3. This created the following folders in my C:\GOG Games\Divinity - Original Sin\Data directory:

Mods\My Mod\meta.lsx
Public\My Mod

4. Next I used lstools to unpack all the Main.pak files to a folder I called 'Unpacked Main'. In this folder there is a 'Mods' folder and a 'Public' folder.

5. In the 'Public' folder there is a 'Stats' folder, inside this is a file called Character.xlsm. I opened this file in Microsoft Excel and increased the weight values for _Hero, FemaleHero and MaleHero. Then I saved the file.

6. Next I opened All.xlsm in Excel and hit the big 'Generate All' button. This created several .txt files in the Generated\Data folder.

But this is where I come undone, I don't know what to do next. Can anybody fill in the next steps?

I'm guessing I need to copy Character.txt (and maybe Character.xlsm?)to the 'My Mod' folder, but I don't know what
folder structure to use. Would it be this?

C:\GOG Games\Divinity - Original Sin\Data\Public\My Mod

Also, do I need to do anything else in the Editor? Or will just copying the right files to the right folders do the trick?

Any and all help would be very much appreciated.

Oh for heaven's sake! I think I've figured it out.

After days of struggling with this I've finally found this thread:

Looks like I need to copy Character.txt to:

C:\GOG Games\Divinity - Original Sin\Data\Public\My Mod\Stats\Generated\Data\Character.txt

I'm off to try it now. Hope it works *fingers crossed*.

Hallelujah! I think it works!

For anybody who's interested, here are the missing steps:

7. Copy the Character.txt file from the Stats\Generated\Data folder to:

Your Installation Path\Divinity - Original Sin\Data\Public\My Mod\Stats\Generated\Data folder (you'll need to create the missing folders).

8. Open the Editor again and set your 'Mod Settings' to 'Startup Level = CharacterCreation' and 'MenuLevel = CharacterCreation' then save your changes.

I probably should have set these settings when I first created the module, but I forgot and the game gave me an error 'loading failed, level not found' message when I tried to start a new game. Setting the Mod settings fixed this.

Anyway, I hope that helps somebody.
