The "cheating version" puts one of every weapon/armor (including DLC and uniques) on the Traveling Merchant encountered between destinations, otherwise it tries to keep things "fair and balanced"
! Disclaimer: I do not take any responsibility to you messing up your game. (That being said, if you follow these instructions everything should work.)
So the author of this mod haven't been online since he/she uploaded the mod, so if anyone wants to "fix" it to get it to work, this is how you do it: (You will need a program like winrar or 7zip)
First, locate your "Steam\steamapps\common\GreedFall\packs" folder and look for a file called "data.spk" ?Right click data.spk and select winrar/7zip -> open archive
When it opens, locate the file "game_components_ld_autogen_traders_inventory.sli" in "game_components\game_components_ld\game_components_ld_autogen\"
Now, leave that open and go back to your Greedfall folder where you will extract this mod (if you haven't already). Rename the file from this mod (just add "mod" in the beginning of the name for example) Drag the file from "data.spk" that you've been keeping open to where the mod is.
Open both of them in a text editor (I can recommend Notepad++) and from the MOD version, mark and copy from where <Xml_Valid_Root> ends and <inventory begins all the way down. Everything except this line in the beginning <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Xml_Valid_Root> should be marked.
Now copy all of that to your file that you extracted from "data.spk" and replace everything in that file except this line in the beginning <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Xml_Valid_Root>
And now you're done Good luck and have fun!
Alternatively, I could release an updated version of this if there is enough interest for it. The Author has given permission to update it as long as I credit them.
If I'm understanding your instructions correctly, it sounds as if you want us to modify the file "game_components_ld_autogen_traders_inventory.sli" from data.spk with the changes to the same file in this mod, and then put the updated file "game_components_ld_autogen_traders_inventory.sli" back into data.spk?
Not sure if you're still checking this, I went ahead and copied the specified text from the mod, replacing everything after <Xml_Valid_Root> in the data.spk copy of "game_components_ld_autogen_traders_inventory.sli", and it just CTD on launch. Not sure if this fix is dated, or I'm just stupid but I followed everything and it didn't seem to work. Any ideas what I may have done wrong or if a step was missed?
To clear things up from what the OP was saying everyone, this is how I did it and it worked completely fine, gonna try and lay it out as step by step as possible.
Get this mod, open it up and grab the 'game_components' folder inside of 'datalocal' within, then go to your GreedFall installation, go to the 'datalocal' folder there and put that 'game_components' folder inside, now go to the file inside the nested folders of 'game_components'and rename it modfile, thelemerulez or whatever you'd like to differentiate it, open up that file using notepad++ or whatever you have that works and copy all the stuff inside it after the <Xml_Valid_Root> part on the first line, now go to the origin of your installation again, go into the 'packs' folder, open up the 'data.spk' file which should be at the top of the list using 7zip, from there you want to find the folder 'game_components' inside of that a little further down, enter the first folder in the top of that, then the next folder at the top from there and then you should find the lone file 'game_components_ld_autogen_traders_inventory.sli', pull it out of there and put it into the mod's deepest folder which you should still have in 'datalocal' from before, where your renamed file you copied all the text from was/is, now again take all that text from the mod version of the file, barring the first bit mentioned that ends with <Xml_Valid_Root>, overwrite everything in the long name original that you've recently put there, again barring that first bit, save it, you can remove the renamed mod file after that if you want.
After all that I ran updatemods from Mod Slot Support which is another helpful mod that makes sure everything is cooperating, ran the game, I rested a couple days so the vendors could update and bam, there it all was. If you ever want the vendors to return to their old state, you can just trash that 'game_components' folder you have in 'datalocal' from the mod and again, I rested a couple days and everything went back to normal after. I mainly used it so that I could get a legendary set of armor, when the intuition check path to it got blocked by a corpse that never despawns and was otherwise completely unable to get it, pretty great as a roundabout debug tool for those sorts of situations.
Thank you for the instructions!! I followed them to the letter and it worked 100%.
However, I would like to point out that this mod does conflict with this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/greedfall/mods/143 as if you have both of them together you will end up with the error window popping up.
I removed the legate set mod and put this one in and loaded up my game and I didn't get an error window popping up and I did run mod slot support before booting up the game and no errors.
Just thought I'd point out the conflict and that this mod works.
Even after modifying of <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> to <?xml version="1.1" encoding="utf-8"?>, the mod still doesn't work. Does someone know how to fix that?
I have "Slots for all Weapons" and "Better Legendary Items'. Since both use 'items_autogen_equipements.sli' I was able to copy the improved stats in Better Legendary' into the 'Slots' version of the file and keep that one. Unfortunately, the Admiral's set and the Assili Set are in the game but basically unobtainable and your mod retrieve's the vanilla versions of the gear. Is there a way for my merged mod to overwrite yours or be the last loaded? Is it possible for me to alter your mod so that it retrieves the items from my merged mod?
This is a amazing Mod! But I have a Question! Could you make version or at least show me how to make a Version where you can only buy the unique Equipment? Weapons, Armors , Amulets and Rings and the Capes for cheap 1 Gold? I always wanted to make a New Game plus with all the unique Equipment! I started a new Game and buyed all the unique Stuff by using the Trainer with the Money cheat but now i have too much Money and i don't like this and i don't know how to revert the Money back to 0 after this! I'm ready to start over again with the Version i mentioned and i think i speak for alot People out there who want that too!
English is not my first Language but i hope it's understandable to read
You could just use a trainer that lets you modify the amount of gold you have and set it to 0 or whatever number you prefer (flings trainer will do this). For that matter, you could just use cheat engine to modify the current gold amount. Making a separate mod to do this would take a lot more time then it was worth considering how simple it is to do it using the methods I suggested.
