Introduction
Witcher 2 modding can be a little finicky owing to the way the game is packaged and bundled. Unlike Witcher 3 the vast majority of Witcher
2s scripts are contained in a little file called base_scripts.dzip and while it isn't too difficult to extract and modify the scripts
(Gibbed RED Tools are very handy here), the file must be packed back as base_scripts.dzip for the game to work correctly.
The problem this generates is that when two mods want to edit parts of the games logic they will very likely have to modify the base_scripts.dzip file. You end up with two of the same file meaning only one can win.
The good news though is its relatively easily to patch the effects of two mods into one best of both worlds dzip, which is what I have done for two neat mods I use: Project Mersey and Yet Another Mod Compilation.
Design
The attached base_scripts.dzip file I have made contains the edits of both mods with only one exception, this is concerning a change both
mods make to market pricing ratios in the game.
Project Mersey: Reduces the selling:buying ratio from 1:25 (Vanilla) to 1:10. Aim is to make the economy more fairer but still requires some level of
grinding and farming. Is also balanced around dark difficulty so may be less balanced in other difficulties.
Yet Another Mod Compilation: Reduces the selling:buying ratio from 1:25 (Vanilla) to 1:5. Makes the economy much more fairer and generally makes grinding almost not usually needed.
In this case I decided to go with YAMC purely out of a preference as I myself prefer to minimise grinding. If there is enough demand I may make a second version which uses Project Mersey's ratio instead.
Installation
Compatibility
Any mods that also touch base_scripts.dzip will conflict. If you want to merge additional mod edits into the base scripts then you will need to learn how to use the Gibbed RED Tools to do so
