Fallout 2 mod How do you mod perks?

Lexx said:
Code: 
; Dermal Impact Assault Enhancement
[74]
StatMod=3|0

This changes the modifier of special stat 3 (Charisma) from perk 75 (Dermal Impact bla bla) to 0.

Making a "vanilla file" sounds like a waste of time. If you want to know what perks do, it's probably faster to look them up on the wiki.

Also not sure what you mean with example. The perks.ini file has a quite big wall of text comment about what's possible.

I mean that there is no complete list of sfall commands. For example StatMod= modifies stats, SkillMod= modifies skills. What about other paramerts ? Such as ResistDamage, ResistFire, ResistPlasma, ResistExpl, ExpGained.. Сan they be modified in perks.ini ? Where to find the full list of commands

What the hell is this?
Perks don't have parameters like StatMod or SkillMod (this for only Traits)

All this is in the description in the Perks.ini file, but to know it, you must learn the basic principles of game modding.

"Stat" includes derived stats, and DR/DT stats are also counted.
A simple example to change Toughness to "add +3 to DT" in perks.ini:
Code: 
[12]      ;PERK_toughness
Stat=17   ;STAT_dmg_thresh
StatMag=3 ;+3 per rank

Who the fuck had the grand idea to make these things not the same? Is this some sort of russian mental gymnastics again? Also why don't you just say how it's done right then? Too much work, I guess. Easier to just be an ass about it.

PS: The readme is incomprehensible half the time, probably unless you look directly at the code.

Nah, that is how perks.ini was implemented in the first place by Timeslip. The traits were handled a bit differently from perks.

Omg man thx a lot ! I love you )) Damn, I was inattentive and almost lost hope. Perks really didnt work with statmod..
It’s a pity that the "Action boy" does not add AP during the battle to the mercs when you use [partycontrol]. They are reflected in the statistics but are not added and I understand why.. All other perks work correctly.
 
What if the perk adds two or more stats ? Can i write :
[12] ;PERK_toughness
Stat=17 ;STAT_dmg_thresh
StatMag=3 ;+3 per rank
Stat=18 ;xxx
Statmag=5 ;xxx

And one more qwestion.. How did u know that "STAT_dmg_thresh" is Stat=17 ? Where is stat list ? Can you spoiler stst list here ?
 
1. No, you have to write scripts for that. Perks.ini itself can only offer limited modification.
2. Download the script source and check the included define.h.
 
Thx man. Now I have everything to make a full-fledged perjs.ini containing all the original characteristics of perks. I need a few hours and I will put perks.ini on a public access so that everyone can easily modify perks with a clear example

Damn. My perks.ini do not work. Where should it be ?
1. I put it in my game directory D:\Games\Fallout 2\
2. Uncomment string in ddraw.ini
;To add additional perks to the game. Uncomment the next line and set it to point to a file containing perk information
PerksFile=D:\Games\Fallout 2\Perks.ini
3. In Perks.ini
[Perks]
;Set to 1 to enable the modifications for perks
Enable=1

But nothing changes in game.. Need to create a new game? or smth wrong ?
 
Ahahaha i tried 50 variants but not this one.
I found a bug in sfall 4.2.5.1.. Dermal Impact Assault Enhancement do not add +5 +5, but only consumes -1 charisma. Same phoenix armor^ only -1 charisma

;Dermal Impact Assault Enhancement
[75]
Stat=3
StatMag=1 ; -1,0,1 (as you wish)

One more question about skills.ini and books.ini
How to make each skill cost 1 skill point from 1 to 300? There is a formula SkillCost0=0|0|0|0|0|300 ;Each level of small guns costs 6 skill points. There are 6 stages with limits
  • 1% to 100% costs 1 skill point
  • 101% to 125% costs 2 Skill points
  • 126% to 150% costs 3 Skill points
  • 151% to 175% costs 4 Skill points
  • 176% to 200% costs 5 Skill points
  • 201% to 300% costs 6 Skill points
I tried SkillCost0=300|0|0|0|0|0 but no effect (skills were distributed according to the standard formula). How to make each skill cost 1 skill point from 1 to 300?

And same for books.. Any way how to remove damn limit of 100 for books ?

Hi Guys, first let me thank you modders for your awesome work. You make this game shine like it deserves and it's still gettin brighter!

I took some time while modding perks by myself and created following list out of trial and error. My way was to change a trait in perks.ini and look for the changed stat (cause traits are updated ingame)
Its basically the SKILLDEX.LST found in art/skilldex.
First number is the stat-ID, trait-ID or perk-ID and second number is the line-number of the .frm file listed in SKILLDEX.LST. New frm-files need to be in /skilldex folder. Last lines are modified by my mod setup.
Hope this helps.

Just download the BIS mapper with Fallout 2 source scripts and open the define.h file for all the stats, skills, and perk numbers.
 
Hi all!
My Perks.ini is:
;Dodger
[29]
StatMag=10

;Educated
[18]
StatMag=20

;More criticals
[8]
StatMag=20

;Swift learner
[50]
StatMag=100

Dodger + More Criticals work great. But Educated + Swist Learner have no effect (vanilla options). How to make them work ?
 
;Set a comma delimited list of perk IDs for perks to be inherited from the player during the combat control
PerksList=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8,12,14,21,23,24,26,29,30,35,48,73,82,93,97,101,102,104,106

Most all of them wotk great in RP. But such as [8] PERK_more_criticals [12] PERK_toughness [29] PERK_dodger are not inherited :(
