So, I'm using this mod and I'm a little confused about how it works. Does this mean that Bleed no longer damages you while the potion is active, meaning your health bar stays at the same spot? Or does it mean that even if you have Bleed, you will still get healed through it if using the potion?
Nice mod. If possible, would you be able to create a mod that disables quen from removing critical effects (except burning since quen is the only counter against the debuff) on Geralt? Such a mod would make usage of swallow and golden oriole much more important during combat. Thank you.
It's already covered by FCR3 which my mods are made for, though I did make my own version of it (unlisted on nexus) before noticing it would be redundant: https://mir.cr/YFJK5XBI .
Thank you for the detailed explanation & the download link. I am waiting for someone to revert overpowered aspects introduced by FCR3 + some enemies that oneshot Geralt before trying it out.
Could you make a small mod to order?) Superior Golden Oriole. I hate effect "Poisons now heal instead of doing damage". Could you delete this? But leave "Extended duration" At the first passage, I specially bathed in poisonous spits. It is so stupid. I am using Enhanced Golden Oriole now.
damageManagerProcessor.ws (placed in a similar subfolder structure as you find the file in your game install's /scripts folder, see how other script mods subfolders are organized) find the following line:
I don't like the healing part either, but it already shouldn't be much of a concern with my itemization mods for several reasons:
- they make superior alchemy far more expensive to refill than vanilla (see simple alchemy refill, superior alchemy items are already 3x more expensive to refill than enhanced items, 9x more expensive to refill than basic alchemy items, that superior golden oriole isn't cheap)
- they encourage you to use up several charges in advance for a fight, so they're depleted more often (see extend potion duration and no inventory access during combat).
- they make you much, much poorer than vanilla, particularly if you started a playthrough with the mods already installed rather than installing them halfway through a playthrough where you're already rich (see lego economy aspect mods).
Then you also need to edit effects_potions.xml (both newgame and newgameplus version, use wolvenkit to find/extract/pack it) and add the poison resistance line to golden oriole lvl3 ability.
What about food? Why does only golden oriole stop poison's health degen effect?
I had a choice.
Vanilla bleed basically cancels any health regen (adds an invisible -200 health regen effect) and then adds its damage over time effect to the player. I could have just removed the health regen canceling from bleed, which would allow bleed's damage over time effect to duke it out with any health regen effects the player might have (including troll decoction, grave have decoction, food), meaning that depending on your health regen you could reduce bleed damage, neutralize it, or even overcome it. Given the large variability of health regen effects and bleed strength, the results wouldn't be very reliable nor intended. You could make all the right preparations for one fight and be able to overcome bleed, and make all the right preparations for the next fight and still die to it. That goes against the way most other status effect counters in the game are reliable.
Instead I chose to make bleed's counter be reliable, effectively able to neutralize it while retaining as close as possible a balance (you're not healing either, and having that much swallow filling up your toxicity bar while staying shy of overdose levels reduces the number of possible buffs you can have). And from all the health regen sources and other buffs in the game, only one is described as being a counter to bleeding (both in the bestiary and in dialogs), much like golden oriole is to poison: swallow. Even though both poison and bleed conditions get boiled down into a simple damage over time effect it shouldn't mean that any health over time effect should work against them, it's just an abstraction.
Don't know whats happening but it's not working for me. Was fighting with an Ekimmara with your Stronger Monster Status Effects mod and Enhanced Swalllow was doing nothing agaist Bleed...
I like this idea. I have to admit that you have been inspired a lot lately. My appreciation. BTW, your mods have been working great with Primer and Primal Needs and not only with FCR3, naturally except SAR. Thanks for them very much. I like that you don't impose anything by building a heavy mod that collapses after removing the comma from the script and arbitrary decisions most of which are ... unbearable. Best!

That's the idea.

Sorry for my English
damageManagerProcessor.ws (placed in a similar subfolder structure as you find the file in your game install's /scripts folder, see how other script mods subfolders are organized) find the following line:
if(dmgInfos[i].dmgType == theGame.params.DAMAGE_NAME_POISON && witcher == actorVictim && witcher.HasBuff(EET_GoldenOriole) && witcher.GetPotionBuffLevel(EET_GoldenOriole) == 3)
replace it with:
if(false)
In quenEntity.ws find the line:
if( actor == GetWitcherPlayer() && ( effectType == EET_Poison || effectType == EET_PoisonCritical ) && actor.HasBuff( EET_GoldenOriole ) && GetWitcherPlayer().GetPotionBuffLevel( EET_GoldenOriole ) >= 3 )
replace it with:
if(false)
In actor.ws find the line:
if( !( hasPoisonDamage && this == GetWitcherPlayer() && HasBuff( EET_GoldenOriole ) && GetWitcherPlayer().GetPotionBuffLevel( EET_GoldenOriole ) == 3) )
replace it with.
if(true)
Let me know if it works.

My mods don't use this file
How unpacking this?
