Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Troubleshooting Process for overriding base game scripts?

Taking my first stab at overriding base game scripts with the editor, hoping someone can point out what I'm doing wrong.

Starting by trying to tweak the spider legs scripting in Statuses.Gamescript. First I used the scripts editor to load a copy of the file I unpacked from shared, then saved it within my mod's public folder: Public\SpiderLegsFix_eff21516-8d58-4bc0-9ad6-b0e7b581785f\Scripts\Game



Then I created a .pak for my scripts in the resource manager and added the gamescript file as a resource.



Now back in the scripts editor I'm doing simple obvious tweaks just to prove that I am in fact making changes (i.e. making walking over webs with spider legs apply warm instead of haste), but after I build the file, save my project, and load the game with my mod active, they aren't showing up.

Am I going about this the right way?

Bump.

Hey smarmbot,

instead of making a new resource, try overriding the existing one.
If you make a new resource, it gets a different GUID and will not override the original 'Statuses'.

1. Go to the original resource 'Statuses'.
2. Right-click > Open for edit. This will ask if you are sure you want to copy it to your project and package
(You'll see the original is now grayed out and has the option 'Go to Active Resource')
3. Change the sourcefile of the new resource to the path of your custom script.

Hope that does the trick Keep us posted

I tried doing this now, but after clicking Yes to copy, I get an error dialog with no titlebar that says "No available packages!"

You have to create a resource package first. Its icon is a small square with a plus. It is above the resource navigation (where you choose folders, packages).

KVN to the rescue once again!

Worked like a charm, thank you.
