Prevents all HP drain effects while attacking with Royal Arms.

This is a manual / old-school version of this mod. Flagrum mods and Curseforge are the current home for all modern Final Fantasy mods, however it was requested to make a manual installation version for those who cant run Flagrum or for those where Flagrum is only partially working. This should be fixed with Flagrum update 1.5.17
 
This mod is certainly not lore-friendly, but it does aid in players' enjoyment of using alternative weapons they generally ignore while they play, or just keep equipped but rarely attack with.


To install:

Extract contents of the zip to the game directory: i.e.[path to your steam directory]\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XV\datas
accept overwrite when prompted. (if no overwrite was prompted, double check the end file went to the correct directory)


For troubleshooting file locations, only one file needs to be replaced

• place autobuild.earc
  into the following location C:\[your steam library]\ Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XV\datas\common


**NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY **
To increase the range of compatibility with other mods it is recommended to use Flagrum to manage file-by-file game modding, as manually managing mods without Flagrum reduced the number of mods you can have without overwriting other mods. 

Anyone not using Flagrum to manage mod conflicts, this mod overwrites: FINAL FANTASY XV\datas\common\autobuild.earc
Which is used in a number of other mods, therefore using this mod will overwrite and conflict with any other mod that targets this earc.
Examples:
Rebalanced Ascension
Encyclopedia Gender Equality
Open World Warp Points
Avatara as Noctis in Singleplayer Restored

...and possibly other mods, as this single file contains a lot of important files used for a number of larger mods, although most of these will be found on Curseforge and will already require Flagrum. These mods can only be used at the same time while using Flagrum, but you will have to only choose one of the above if you are replacing the files to mod directly without Flagrum.


Making your own compatibility patch:
I have upload the source file I edited to make the mod as an optional file, and can be replaced manually to make your own merge version using FFXV Scout.
Please ask questions regarding the tool only on the discord linked below, as I'm not trying to make guides or troubleshoot tools on each of my mods that target these files.

Please do not re-upload combinations / repacked versions of existing mods.
