Hello!, I am sorry but unfortunately I won't be making any more edits. If you care about uncapped stats then you could: 1.Download SSH2 with Octoplus+ and ItemPlus merge from here and install it. 2. Download Octopath Unlimiter (with stats) from the original author and place it last in Pak folder (so for example name it z_Uncapped.pak). I think it can introduce some UI bugs (like text out of bounds) but it should not be anything game breaking. I am curious myself if it will work, so let me know if you succeed!
If I wanted to play the Side Stories Helper, Uncapped Damage, Octoplus +, and Itemplus all together, how would I go about patching it? Sorry, I'm a bit new to this!
I think it should be possible and rather easy. I didn't test it myself, but from what I remember when creating these patches, your best approach is: 1. Download 'Side Stories Helper 2 ver. 1.1.0 Uncapped Damage' from Optional Files here. 2. Download the 'SSH2 with (OctoplusPlus and ItemPlus) patch' from this mod page. 3. Install the patch according to the README, but instead of downloading the original Side Stories, paste the one you downloaded from here. The order of mods in your Paks folder would then be: AbilityBuffsPlus_p.pak -> ItemBuffs_p.pak -> SideStoriesHelper2_Updated_Uncapped_Damage_p.pak -> SSH2_AbilityBuffs_ItemPlus_Patch_p.pak
Unfortunately, when I tried to do this, I get the error
xdelta3: source file too short: XD3_INVALID_INPUT xdelta3: normally this indicates that the source file is incorrect xdelta3: please verify the source file with sha1sum or equivalent
I'm assuming either I accidentally messed up somewhere, or there's some other issue...?
You probably patched the wrong file. This patch you downloaded is not for Side Stories but for Octoplus+. So in xdelta source file you should have AbilityBuffsPlus_p.pak. Side Stories patch from Optional files is already ready to use. When I was talking about README I meant the one that is in zip together with SSH2, Octoplus+, ItemPlus patch. Just follow it completely and at the end delete original Side Stories and in its place paste the one with uncapped damage from Optional files.
I was able to replicate this error. In my case, it occurs when the source file is incorrect. Please make sure to read the README carefully. I have created a patch that only accepts one specific file. Out of 3 mods that you downloaded only one goes to xdelta with my patch.
No problem. By the way, what you wanted to do is not necessary. This additional patch is only for Octoplus+, ItemPlus, and Side Stories Helper 2 altogether. You need to patch Octoplus+ because it’s the only mod out of these three whose game configuration files are incompatible with OT2 1.1.0. For ItemPlus and Side Stories, only the GameText file is incompatible. The resulting xdelta patched Pak essentially consists of updated Octoplus+ files and the merged/updated GameText file. I hope it helps clarify things.
Everytime ive patched both the Xdelta files for Max Boosted Troubler in the past two weeks, I keep running into the same 'Unhandled Exception' error that prevents the process from working. Im using the xdelta UI patcher, and ive patched patches before with no issue using other software. This one keeps giving me issues and I dont know how to fix it. i tried to do the same with Sidestories and ran into the same issue, just to make sure it wasnt that one specific file. I downloaded fresh copies of the original file in each case as well, and I tried it on both Max Boosted with and without item restrictions. No luck in any case. Then when I run it as administrator, I get a new error: xdelta3 not a VCDIFF input XD3:InvalidInput and it tells me to verify the source file with Sha1sum or some equivalent
I put the patch file in 'Apply Patch', I put the original file in 'source file' and i create a file with the _p.pak ender and nothing works, not for Max Boosted nor Side Stories helper. Is there anyway you could help me find out why this is going wrong and how to fix?
I'm not entirely sure what the problem might be. Maybe you could try using a different xdelta GUI (PCGamingWiki lists a few options). However, for this patch, you don't need to worry about using xdelta. In the optional files section, I attached an already patched version 1.1.0 of Side Stories. You can download it, and the .pak file inside will be the same as if you had patched the original SSH2 with xdelta. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much with Troubler.
I noticed that the creator behind the Troubler patch stated that theyve made no changes to the Bonus Battles in the first place, and they would not have been custom modded by LostFaith as they didnt exist yet when Troubler was created, so I guess this would not be possible to fight them modded. The patch probably makes it so that they are fightable while on Troubler installed, but makes no changes to them
I appreciate your efforts however! I was unable to get things working though youve come in the clutch and I cant thank you enough for that
Yeah, I know. When I discovered how permissions work on this site, I've instantly hidden the Octoplus Buff Package Patch that I made for my personal playthrough. I figured I would still do an xdelta for this one to give the OP the downloads for the work on the original mod. But I guess you are right. I will upload the patched mod in the optional section to make it easier for people
If its possible to share, even individually, the patches for Octoplus (Octoplus+ ideally) and potentially Itemplus if youve made them, Id really appreciate it! I want to record fighting the Bonus Battles on Max Boosted using these patches that I did on my overall playthrough
I could share the 1.1.0 patch for Octoplus+, ItemPlus, and Side Stories Helper 2. Actually, I currently play with all three of these mods, so I already have the .pak merge. However, I don't think I can simply share it due to the permissions granted by LostFaiths. I will only upload the xdelta on this mod page. You will still need to download all three mods because the merge won't work on its own. The precise instructions will be in the README. That being said, I don’t think I will feel comfortable with sharing more of these patches. You will be able to use this patch without ItemPlus, but a few items and their effects will be incorrectly named.

Just drop the Updated_p.pak version here:
C:\XboxGames\OCTOPATH TRAVELER II\Content\Octopath_Traveler2\Content\Paks
Would you be so kind to upload 1 file for all these added ? Side stories helper,uncapped damage also stats , octoplus and itemplus together ?
