GUIDE The Return Of The White Wolf (a comprehensive Witcher 3 modding guide)

[rootsrat]

Thanks , i used to read the whole stack of comics at my friends house ( he had the whole collection ) whe i came over . :p

 

The trick above sadly did not work .

 

I did discover that uninstalling friendly hud as well as the assorted mod  patches  makes the game work .

 

Also one thing i noticed is that pressing R does not pause the game  but makes me use food .

 

I think you used the same key for both  food and the  pause function .  

I know what was wrong. You've had FH 7.1 installed, while the guide specifically says to install the old 7.0 version. It used to be in the main files section, but the author moved it to the Old Files now. I updated the relevant part of the guide.

 

I've had some problems before when merging some 7.1 scripts, but I managed to sort it out just now. 7.1 will be coming in the next update.

 

In the meantime, if anyone wants to use 7.1 feel free to:

 

1. Uninstall Friendly HUD 7.0

2. Install Friendly HUD 7.1 from Nexus

3. Grab this archive and unpack it directly into your Mods folder, overwriting all files.

It seems you have incorrectly added a "\" character in lines 55-57 in the modfriendlyhudconfig.ws file. Post the file contents here and I'll have a look.

[cclaw]

const var userMarkerTextFont : string; default userMarkerTextFont = "" size=\"15\" color=\"#3CB371\">";

const var currentMarkerTextFont : string; default currentMarkerTextFont = "" size=\"15\" color=\"#FFD700\">";

const var otherMarkerTextFont : string; default otherMarkerTextFont = "" size=\"15\" color=\"#EEE8AA\">";

 

that was line 55 - 57 and i hope it helps

 

[rootsrat]

OK, change these lines to:

 

const var userMarkerTextFont : string; default userMarkerTextFont = "";

const var currentMarkerTextFont : string; default currentMarkerTextFont = "";

const var otherMarkerTextFont : string; default otherMarkerTextFont = "";

 

Sorry, that's the STEP Wiki reformatting the code from the file and removing parts of it. I changed the instructions in the guide. Thanks for flagging this up :)

and i have done the mod.settings as you asked but  i still get the error :(

[thorgal]

one question : does  the no soft targeting mod leave files anywhere else besides the mod file ?

 

Reason i am asking is , that after trying it out for a while but  realizing i kind of  prefer  the soft target i uninstalled it and made sure it was gone from the mod mile .

But the game still has no soft targeting .

 

So in short i am confused :p

Yes, it's part of patch mod, that effectively merges scripts from other mods. You'd need manually edit out the changes from that mod - they're contained in r4player.ws file. Easiest thing to do is get the vanilla file, compare it with the No Soft Lock file to see what's been changed, and then replace these changes in the file from the patch mod. 

 

Unfortunately that's the only way of getting rid of it.

 

::EDIT::

 

OK, instructions here (note due to forum formatting the script formatting is not retained):

 

 

 

 

Find these lines:

replace with

{

 

return combatActionHeading;

 

 

 

Bear in mind you'll need to do that every time an update to Assorted Mod Patches is released, as I don't think I'll remove this mod from the guide, unless it plays badly with New Game+ for some reason.

 

::EDIT2::

 

Sorry, there is also combat.ws file, that need these changes:

 

enableSoftLock = false; 

 

Change this to true.

Any chance it is this case?

Hi root,

 

Quite an update mate! Hats off to you! 

 

A few spotted minor updates/errors/typos:

 

1. Active Witcher Zoom: Has been updated to v. 5.0
2. No Automatic Camera Centering: Current version should be 1.2 and author should be Keelhauled.
3. Concept Art Cat Armor: In 05.09.2015 changelog you have mentioned that you will be using the Light version. In the newest changelog there is no mention abt it, still the guide points to v.1.0 which is not the light version. 

 

Do not think I have spotted anything else...if something missed I will let u know!

 

Thanks again for this amazing guide!

[tizgrilo]

Instead of Assorted Mod Patches may I use Script Merger?

 

There are some mods that you use that I don't and others that I want to use but are not on your guide.

Thanks for the corrections, I'll look into it!

Hm... For starters:

 

 - Which game version are you running?

 - Is your mods.settings file in the same folder as user.settings, input.settings and savegames?

 - Check if you have any duplicate mod folders in your Mods directory

 

Instead of Assorted Mod Patches may I use Script Merger?

 

There are some mods that you use that I don't and others that I want to use but are not on your guide.

Sure you can. I would suggest manually editing out the mods you don't want from the relevant script(s) of AMP mod, especially for PlayerWitcher.ws and r4player.ws - and then manually merging the ones you want in. Script Merger won't handle merging all the mods that are included in the guide (I tried it once) - there are some overlapping changes that require manual merging and editing the scripts. 

[cclaw]

I have the version 1.08.4 and my mod.settings is in the same place as the others and no duplicates

 

 

might have to uninstall mods and install all mods again as a last resort :(
