Hi folks,
I just wanted to create a way to change the games main attributes without touching 100s of single files over and over again.
Once, I discovered that the games supports titles and as well some documentation within some files is available I created a custom title which is configurable. Biggest thank you goes to the devs of the game!
Consider this a first draft version and there might be several other ways to generate this kind of config with a self written program etc. But as soon the game changes to another version adaptions are possibly needed. The game is still in early access. But my approach is at least much easier to maintain as mods which are changing a lot of files.
Overview of advantages of the MOD:
- More than 30 attributes can be customized
- You can create your own modded game easily
- Highly compatible! You can still use your and other mods together with SCT
- You can play without SCT in your "vanilla" environment
- No need to backup files or move chunks of data
- No game files are touched or changed!
- Easy to maintain if SoS gets updated
GENERAL INFO & README HOW TO INSTALL IT!
1. Run Songs of Syx once and close the game
2. Download the mod here from Nexus
3. Once downloaded, unarchive the zip to "X:\Users\ZZZZZZ\AppData\Roaming\songsofsyx\mods\" -> ZZZZZZ is your user
4. The folder structure should be "X:\Users\ZZZZZZ\AppData\Roaming\songsofsyx\mods\SCT\V63\ ..."
5. Create a desktop shortcut of the main config file: "X:\Users\ZZZZZZ\AppData\Roaming\songsofsyx\mods\SCT\V63\assets\init\player\titles\SCT.txt"
6. Use Notepadd++ or similar to adapt the file to your liking.
7. Start game, generate world, choose the SCT and start your city.
Some examples for what is possible with this:
Example 1.)
You want no crimes in your city?
Well, just _ADD a fixed BONUS value to LAWFULNESS. In below case, the game adds 10.0 to that attributes base value for all races in your city.
To do so find the corresponding line and remove the double stars ** and set the value and save the config and start the game.
BONUS_ADD: {
...
BEHAVIOUR: {
**: -0.50,
LAWFULNESS: 10.0,
**SUBMISSION: 0.45,
**SANITY: 0.45,
**HAPPINESS: 0.45,
},
...
},
You do not want this anymore? Just add the double stars again. The game ignores everything behind a double star ** :)
BONUS_ADD: {
...
BEHAVIOUR: {
**: -0.50,
**LAWFULNESS: 10.0,
**SUBMISSION: 0.45,
**SANITY: 0.45,
**HAPPINESS: 0.45,
},
...
},
Example 2.)
Your Soldiers suck? You are absolutely terrible in the creation of a bigger army? You get spanked by enemy armies much bigger than yours?
Well, just use a _MULtiply of a BONUS value to increase all BATTLE related attributes for your soldiers.
In below case we use *: 10.0, to multiply all BATTLE related attributes base values by factor 10! That should be enough to kill enough enemies with some troops of yours.
BONUS_MUL: {
...
BATTLE: {
*: 10.0,
**ARMOUR: 2.0,
**MORALE: 2.0,
**RANGED_SKILL: 2.0,
**BLUNT_DAMAGE: 2.0,
**PIERCE_DAMAGE: 2.0,
**OFFENCE_SKILL: 2.0,
**DEFENCE_SKILL: 2.0,
},
...
},
These are of course small examples to change the game to your liking.
You can as well turn it the other way around and if you feel the game is too easy. Change it to your skills.
You feel the output from a smithy is not enough? Change it in a single line!
You think the skill points from the lab is too high or too low? Change it in a single line!
The maintenance and spoilage is killing your game flow? You guessed it. Change it!
Create the game and difficulty you always wanted.
A final remark:
The ingame values of an attribute, which you can see if you click on the properties of an inhabitant in your city, are a sum of a calcuation sequence! Generally, it looks like this:
BASE + TITLES + SPECIES + EQUIPMENT (ARMOR AND/OR CLOTHING) + TRAITS
We are influencing the TITLE category!
