Hey bucket. i see you made a new thread. ill post the step by step here for you as well
this is how i got it to work (didn't check companions YET but it worked for editing my main heros :P so i guess companions should be working as well
Keep in mind there might be an easier way for the meta.lsb and meta.lsx files but i don't know how and this worked for me
First off, thanks. Although I managed to figure something out, you offer a much more streamlined guide for someone with a concentration disorder. :P
I don't think you need to edit the meta files, I followed your guide (before you posted it) and when I still have the editor open (step 3);
- Click on [Modding] in the top bar
- Click on [Mod settings]
- Alter starting level and main menu there
- Save
- Continue with your guide
This does the same as your step 10, but not the name change of the folder itself. That's probably due to Steam and workshop compatibility.
You shouldn't see the numbers in-game.
I didn't know the .xlsm files were needed, too. I'll give that one a go, thanks. I use OOO by the way.
Just so you know (unless they have changed it recently), every mod except the Cow Simulator on the Steam Workshop will not download into the correct location.
I subscribed to my own upload to test that and found that it is placed in the correct location now. Either it was fixed in the patch, or somehow, because it is my own mod, it gets placed in the right place. (I did not manually place it there with that name.)
Figuring out what we can do with the Main Campaign and how to do it has involved a lot of trial and error, mostly due in part with the lack of official word on how to do so. LarSeb said he would be making a tutorial/guide on this subject today, so I am looking forward to that.
I'm actually quite enjoying goofing around with this stuff. I'm a quite creative personality but I've never enjoyed coding. These type of toolkits are just the thing I need, if they work right!
Oh by the way, if you want to get some credits on the workshop, let me know. I didn't figure out how to make an empty mod only by your thread, but through a lot of threads and by messing around by myself. Regardless, we came to the same solution and I did use your download to test some things out, so I feel you earn credit. I could even add you as contributor if you'd like!
