Q: If I'm using just this mod, Friendly HUD and All Quest Objectives Full, do I still need the compatibility files? Or, do I merge them without that file, cause that compatibility file seems to mess everything up.
A: Compatibility fixes are there to allow you to play with FCR, FHUD and Quest Objectives without merging, just installing it is enough. If you are using only FCR + FHUD + Quest Objectives + other mods without scripts, then you don't need to merge scripts, because compatibility fix already fixes conflicts. If you are using FCR ( + FHUD ) ( + Quest Objectives ) + other mods with scripts, you'd need to merge scripts and then compatibility fix might help you or not.
Q: When I run the game, a popup window with plenty of errors appears:
Error [modfcr3_2]game\(...)
(...)
A: There are couple of possibilities:
1) A conflict between mods that requires merging scripts. To merge scripts, use "script merger" available here on nexus,
2) Mod file didn't download correctly and installation is incomplete or corrupted. Redownload the mod and try again.
3) Using mod manager or editing config files by hand messed up mod load order and compatibility fixes don't have higher priority than main mod package. If you don't know what is it all about then it's most likely not the cause, as it's rather impossible to change load order unintentionally.
3) Mod was installed to wrong folder due to incorrect settings in mod manager. Make sure that modfcr3_* folders are in the following directory: ...\[game installation folder]\mods\.
Q: Is there a way to turn off Cat effect when going into combat in dark places?
A: If you don't like the effect, delete focus.ws, interiorArea.ws scripts and in playerWitcher.ws delete lines with EET_Mutation12Cat words in it.
Q: I want loot reduction and no change in prices, I still think if I collect everything, I will have more than enough money.
A: Delete guiShopInventoryComponent.ws and guiTooltipComponent.ws files from all packages to remove price multiplier, though keep in mind that guiTooltipComponent.ws also contains a fix for Dumplings runeword food items tooltip. You can also edit it manually instead of deleting to preserve Dumplings fix, just search for FCR in script. No need for exmplanation, as you'll know immediately which change is price change, it's self-explanatory.
Q: I downloaded the mod, played with it a bit and uninstalled. Now I want to try it again but skills are not reset and still have 5 levels.
A: To forcibly reset character development and skill definitions type "ResetCharacterDevelopment" or "rcd" (lazy version) without quotation marks in console to activate it. You'll know that it worked from camera shake effect. After typing it save and reload the game.
Q: One of the latest versions of the mod added gameplay\gui_new\swf\character\panel_character.redswf file. This conflicts with the XYZ mod. Is there a way to disable it for this mod or a version without it?
A: Just delete modFCR3_3_Padlock folder. Cannot get easier than that.
Q: Will have no problems running along with X, Y and Z mod?
A: Only mutually exclusive features can't work together, ie. two mods changing the same skill. You need to merge the scripts though.
1. Delete "knockdownTypeApplicator.ws" from this folder (Mods\modBrothersInArms\content\scripts\game\gameplay\effects\effects\applicator\) in your Witcher 3 directory
2. Merge the scripts and bundled text of FCR3 + BiA + additional mods (check individual mod instructions for the bundled texts)
You ONLY need this one titled "FCR3 main file", then use the Script Merger (original app) to detect and solve conflicts in your mod list.
I will release it eventually, OR if someone feels up to the task, you can take over and release it - in that case, please let me know. What's left is testing the mod and adding the missing armor definitions to entities, like I mentioned above. I'd use entities from latest Brother's in Arms patch whenever possible and the rest from game files. This change might go in an separate optional download, since it would decrease FCR's compatibility with other mods.
Here's the excerpt from changelog:
They say you can find armour abilities on each NPC entities using Community Patch - Shared Imports with this import class:
import class CEntityTemplate extends CResource {
import var includes: array<CEntityTemplate>;
import var overrides: array<SEntityTemplateOverride>;
import var properOverrides: Bool;
import var backgroundOffset: Vector;
import var dataCompilationTime: CDateTime;
import var entityClass: CName;
//import var entityObject: ptr:CEntity;
import var bodyParts: array<CEntityBodyPart>;
import var appearances: array<CEntityAppearance>;
import var usedAppearances: array<CName>;
import var voicetagAppearances: array<VoicetagAppearancePair>;
//import var effects: array<ptr:CFXDefinition>;
import var slots: array<EntitySlot>;
//import var templateParams: array<ptr:CEntityTemplateParam>;
import var coloringEntries: array<SEntityTemplateColoringEntry>;
import var instancePropEntries: array<SComponentInstancePropertyEntry>;
import var flatCompiledData: array<Uint8>;
import var streamedAttachments: array<SStreamedAttachment>;
import var cookedEffects: array<CEntityTemplateCookedEffect>;
import var cookedEffectsVersion: Uint32;
}
There are some entity however where you have to assign armour ability in order to use the mechanism you want.
I notice that NPC companions like Triss and Vesemir for example, seem to move faster than Geralt while walking, jogging, sprinting, horse-riding. They have to slow down themselves every now and then depending on the distance between them and Geralt. Are these intentional? Is there anything I can do to edit their movement speed so that they are more aligned with Geralt's?
At long last! Thank you so much for this new piece of info on the matter👍
If you have no other choice but to let someone else carry on your legacy, please make sure that your legacy is in safe hands.
If you ask me, I'd say the 10th anniversary of the Witcher 3, which is on May 19th 2025, would be the perfect release date for the NextGen [F]ull [C]ombat [R]ebalance mod🤞
Super excited, TBH!
All the best, mate <3
I've read what you wrote. You can release the next-gen update in its current state now, honestly, then add "armor ability definitions" as another update to your next-gen edition FCR sometime later when the armor definitions aspect is ready. Just a thought.
You don't have to wait for that armor feature to be ready. After the launch of the FCR next-gen, hopefully sooner rather than later, you'll have plenty of time to test and improve the armor ability definitions feature to perfection.
Thanks. For everything.
I want to talk about your idea of cumulative mutation skill you plan to add.
While the idea is good, and you're aware about balance with that, my concern is about how much active mutation we got in total. The problem is that two mutation ends with fewer previous mutation.
For example, we took Conductor of Magic, which equip Magic Sensibilities -> Piercing Cold, 3 mutations in total.
But then we took Second Life, which equip Magic Sensibilities -> Piercing Cold -> Deadly Counter -> Bloodbath -> Adrenaline Rush, 6 mutation in total.
So no one will take Conductor of Magic nor Mutated Skin because we get less active mutation.
My suggestion is that each "yellow" mutation only activate those two "colourised" mutation, nothing more. To be exact:
- Mutated Skin / Metamorphosis -> Toxic Blood and Euphoria
- Conductor of Magic / Second Life -> Magic Sensibilities and Piercing Cold
- Cat Eyes / Adrenaline Rush -> Deadly Counter and Bloodbath
That way, we only have 3 mutations active for a specific build, and you can balance them in that circumstance.I wish you good luck and I hope you'll take my idea.
Should this be happening?
You ONLY need this one titled "FCR3 main file", then use the Script Merger (original app) to detect and solve conflicts in your mod list.
Instead of "FCR3 Reduced Loot package", you can install No Decorative Container Looting which is much better at what it does.
Note that if you're playing next gen 4.04 version of the game, you do NOT need to install the FCR3 mod since it is already there (inside the 4.04 installation package).
Read this helpful piece and the other one, please.
There is also Script Merger - Fresh and Automated Edition, read its description page for more info on the matter.
Instead of the Nitpicker's Patch mod, Install ONLY one of these mods:
Brothers In Arms - TW3 Ultimate Bug Fix and Restored Content Collection (game version 1.32 aka classic)
or
Brothers in Arms - TW3 Bug Fix and Restored Content Collection - Next-Gen (game version 4.04 aka next gen)
The author of the FCR3 mod, Andrzej Kwiatkowski, has said that there will be an update to the FCR3 mod for the next gen edition of the game.
I'm looking to use
- Friendly HUD
- All Quest Objectives On Map Full
- FCR3
I do not need any compatibility patch, I just need to install the mods themselves?Install those three mods and then run Script Merger, that's it.
Note that All Quest Objectives On Map Full needs to have the higher priority to function properly.
Just out of curiosity, are the compatibility patches on the FRC3 download page just outdated and at one point were necessary but are no longer and just weren't taken down?
It's not an easy app to learn for first-timers (especially, manually merging conflicts) but once you get the hang of it, you begin to appreciate the wonders it brings to the world of Geralt of Rivia.
Thank you
Let us be patience.
In all seriousness though, he doesn't owe us anything.
If there was any news, he would have told us so we'll just have to keep being patient.
The author said there will be an update when it's ready.
I'd really like to make it so all the followers can do damage, but not too much. Maybe 1/3 of a regular fast sword swing of Geralt at most (maybe 1/2). Not more, or they will reck enemies alone. Letho is a beast. Vesemir is a beast. The sorceresses (all of them) are ridiculously overpowered in my opinion. I don't know about less notable characters (just random followers, like the Baron and his men during "Return to Crookback Bog"), or stuff like the Ice Giant fight where you have three companions during the fight, if I'm not mistaken. And then there's the Battle of Kaer Morhen, where all the damage that's introduced by this mod suddenly accumulates if I had to guess.
If you could nudge me in the right direction, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if I should do xml edits, or if the damageManagerProcessor.ws script is the answer. Probably a combination of the two. I just want less damage for all of them, especially witchers and sorceresses. I also want to make sure that all the other followers aren't overpowered.
\The Witcher 3\Mods\modFCR3_2_Nitpicker\content\scripts\game\gameplay\damage\damageManagerProcessor.ws
going to line 1859 (end of "private function CalculateDamage" method add before "return finalDamage;" with
if( !playerAttacker && actorVictim && !action.IsDoTDamage() && !thePlayer.IsFistFightMinigameEnabled() && GetAttitudeBetween( thePlayer, actorAttacker ) == AIA_Friendly
&& !actorAttacker.HasAbility( 'ForceInstantKill' ) && !thePlayer.IsCiri() )
{
finalDamage = finalDamage / 8 ;
}
where the number i.e. 8 here reduces follower damage but that factor.
\content\scripts\game\gameplay\damage\damageManagerProcessor.ws
Search for:
// follower damage cannot be higher or lower than Geralt's attacks
curStats = GetWitcherPlayer().GetOffenseStatsList();
playerStlDmg = MaxF(0, curStats.steelStrongDmg - resistPoints);
playerStlDmg *= 1 - resistPercents;
playerFastSlvDmg = MaxF(0, curStats.silverFastDmg - resistPoints);
playerFastSlvDmg *= 1 - resistPercents;
playerSlvDmg = MaxF(0, curStats.silverStrongDmg - resistPoints);
playerSlvDmg *= 1 - resistPercents;
playerSlvCritDmg = MaxF(0, curStats.silverStrongCritDmg - resistPoints);
playerSlvCritDmg *= 1 - resistPercents;
And replace it by:
// follower damage cannot be higher or lower than Geralt's attacks
curStats = GetWitcherPlayer().GetOffenseStatsList();
playerStlDmg = MaxF(0, curStats.steelStrongDmg - resistPoints);
playerStlDmg *= 1 - resistPercents;
playerStlDmg /= 6;
playerFastSlvDmg = MaxF(0, curStats.silverFastDmg - resistPoints);
playerFastSlvDmg *= 1 - resistPercents;
playerFastSlvDmg /= 6;
playerSlvDmg = MaxF(0, curStats.silverStrongDmg - resistPoints);
playerSlvDmg *= 1 - resistPercents;
playerSlvDmg /= 6;
playerSlvCritDmg = MaxF(0, curStats.silverStrongCritDmg - resistPoints);
playerSlvCritDmg *= 1 - resistPercents;
playerSlvCritDmg /= 6;
This way, in my tests, the damage of followers, specially witchers/sorcerers, is more reasonable, and it is possible to enjoy these battles. It is still greater than vanilla 1.32 (and more immersive too), but not as much as FCR3 where you can just sit and watch how your companions kill everything.
The ESO mod is one of many mods on nexus which enhances the enemies in combat. Hope you find what you need! Cheers
