This mod lets you edit various stats for individual armor pieces and has two global armor multipliers as well. It also adds the possibility for new resistance types, and implements a new Water resistance against the Wet status effect.

This mod also fixes a bug in the vanilla game that makes it not recognize frost immunity for environmental cold.


Setting Armor Stats

Custom armor stats are stored in json files in BepInEx\plugins\CustomArmorStats. To create a template json file for a specific armor piece, type the following command in the console (F5):

customarmorstats save <ItemSpawnName>

E.g. customarmorstats save ArmorBronzeLegs will create a file called ArmorBronzeLegs.json with the default values for Bronze leggings.  Edit that file as you
like, save it, then type the following command in the console:

customarmorstats reload

This will reload the file, applying the new values when an item is created or moved to a new inventory.

The variables are mostly self-explanatory.

Damage modifiers are a list of colon-separated pairs, e.g. for the Wolf Chest armor:

"damageModifiers":["Frost:Resistant"]

The first value is the damage type, the second value is the resistance level.

Valid damage types include:

Blunt
Slash
Pierce
Chop
Pickaxe
Physical
Fire
Frost
Lightning
Elemental
Poison
Spirit
Water (this is a new type, affecting the Wet status)

Valid resistence levels include:

Normal
Resistant
Weak
Immune
Ignore
VeryResistant
VeryWeak


You can also dump these lists using

customarmorstats damagetypes
customarmorstats damagemods


Water Resistance

Water resistance provides the following modifiers, depending on the resistance level:

• Normal - no change
• Resistant - increases Wet status countdown speed by 100%
• Weak - decreases Wet status countdown speed by 1/3
• Immune - prevents Wet status effect
• Ignore - prevents Wet status effect
• VeryResistant - prevent wet status effect application except when swimming, increases Wet status countdown speed by 100%
• VeryWeak - decreases Wet status countdown speed by 2/3
  
  

Global Multipliers

The mod also provides the following global armor modifiers via the config file:

GlobalArmorDurabilityLossMult
GlobalArmorMovementModMult


Config

A config file BepInEx/config/aedenthorn.CustomArmorStats.cfg is created after running the game once with this mod.

You can adjust the config values by editing this file using a text editor or in-game using the Config Manager.

To reload the config from the config file, type customarmorstats reset into the game's console (F5).


Technical

To install this mod, the easiest way is to just use Vortex, the Nexus Mods mod manager. It should take care of all dependencies.

To install manually, place the dll file in the BepInEx/plugins folder. You will need BepInEx.
