Updated/Working: 11th July, 2022. 

My Outward mods.
My Patreon page.
~~~~~~~~~~

This mod is a combination of my Longer Boons and my Longer Imbues and Infuses plus more from Definitive Edition... I think.  Do not use those mods if you are using this one.

I have added a few more buffs introduced from the Definitive Edition (I think XD).  If you are not using DE, please use my other mods I just mentioned.  I haven't been playing DE much, so whatever is missing let me know in the Posts tab/section and I will add it as long as it suites this mod.

WHAT IT DOES:
- Extends buffs of magic boons from 240 seconds to 600 seconds (10 minutes) and extends their amplified versions to 900 seconds (15 minutes).
- Extends rag imbues from 90 seconds to 600 seconds (10 minutes), varnish imbues from 180 seconds to 900 seconds (15 minutes), and magic infuses from 180 seconds to 900 seconds (15 minutes).

Please give the mod a thumbs up (endorse) if you enjoy it.  Thank you!

DEFINITIVE EDITION INSTALLATION:
This is a BepInEx mod made with SideLoader.

Make sure you're on the MONO BRANCH of Outward.  You need to do this in order to use mods with Outward.

• Steam:  In your Steam library list, right-click on Outward and select "Properties".
• Click on BETAS.
• From the drop down menu, select "default-mono - Public default branch (mono)".
• No access code is needed.  You can close the window.
  

1. You need to have BepInEx installed.  Download BepInEx_x64 and drop the contents of the zip folder into your Outward\Outward_Defed directory for Definitive Edition.  For Steam it will look like:

• Steam\steamapps\common\Outward\Outward_Defed\BepInEx
• Steam\steamapps\common\Outward\Outward_Defed\doorstop_config.ini
• Steam\steamapps\common\Outward\Outward_Defed\winhttp.dll
  

You do not need the changelog.txt.  It doesn't matter if it's in the folder or not.

2. Install SideLoader.  Latest Version for DE.
3. Download the Longer Buffs - Definitive Edition zip file from the files tab.
4. Extract to "Outward\Outward_Defed\BepInEx\plugins" or put the zip file in that plugins folder, right click and Extract Here.  You will see the Longer Buffs folder appear in your plugins folder.
5. Delete the zip file out of the plugins folder if you did the "extract here".

Your file setup should look like:

• Steam\steamapps\common\Outward\Outward_Defed\BepInEx\plugins\Longer Buffs
  

UN-INSTALL:

1. Delete the Longer Buffs folder out of your plugins folder.

LET ME KNOW WHAT I AM MISSING.  I'VE ONLY BEEN TESTING OUT DE FOR TWO DAYS THUS FAR.

WHAT WAS CHANGE:

Rag Imbues:
  <Lifespan>90</Lifespan>
to
  <Lifespan>600</Lifespan>

Varnish Imbues:
  <Lifespan>180</Lifespan>
to
  <Lifespan>900</Lifespan>

Magic Infuses:
  <Lifespan>180</Lifespan>
to
  <Lifespan>900</Lifespan>

Normal Boons:
  <Lifespan>240</Lifespan>
to
  <Lifespan>600</Lifespan>

Amplified Boons:
  <Lifespan>240</Lifespan>
to
  <Lifespan>900</Lifespan>

**If you want all buffs to be infinite, open the .xml file(s) in notepad and change the Lifespan to -1.  It will look like:  <Lifespan>-1</Lifespan>


I WILL NOT be uploading my mods over on Thunderstore.  My mods will remain here on Nexusmods.  Why?  Because I have been using Nexusmods since 2013.  I like having all my mods in one place and will not be uploading my mods over multiple websites.  Any mod I make for whatever game will always be uploaded here on Nexus Mods.

Also, Thunderstore, from what I can see, has NO SUPPORT section anywhere like the "post" section/tabs here on Nexus.  Meaning, you can't ask questions to the authors and/or possibly get help from other users.  I do not like that.  I like having these "post" sections so people may get help from either the author themselves or other users.  Unless I missed it, I do not see any support section on Thunderstore.  I know they have a discord but being forced to join a discord for help, is not ideal to me.

**I advise playing the game all the way through at least once as is (vanilla) before adding mods.  Imho, it's best to enjoy the game as it was made before modding, as mods can go either way; making the game more enjoyable or ruin the fun and making the game boring.

**Why in plugins and not Outward directory like most BepInEx mods do?  Because.  XD.  Honestly, the "normal" way of installing BepInEx Outward mods always bothered me.  This is my preference for people to install my mod(s).  That is all.  I want people to see where mod my is being installed to and see the installation happening.  I choose not to structure the zip file as most other mod authors do because when you "extract here" from the Outward directory with mods, the user cannot see what is happening.  Of course you can go to your plugins to check if it installed, but this way you can see the mod folder pop right into the plugins so you know it installed and where it is.

I make a lot of Sims 4 mods, and users of those mods know everything goes into your mods folder.  I'm treating the plugins folder for BepInEx in the same manner.
