Installation

------------

 

Double click 'Install Gameplay Rework Alpha' and then hit 'start patching'.

 

Uninstallation

--------------

 

Delete classes.2da, classpowergain.2da and exptable.2da from your Override folder.

If TSLPatcher made backups (in the 'backups' folder), copy any files it backed up

into your Override folder.

 

*NB*: If your are using other mods which modify these files, install this mod *LAST*.

 

Known Bugs

----------

 

None known at present, but keep in mind that this is an alpha release;

there may well be problems nonetheless.

 

Permissions

-----------

This mod is to be distributed as-is without alteration, unless by permission of the mod author.

This mod is not to be distributed for profit, either.

Use it how you like, but if you're going to post it up somewhere, or make a derivate mod,

or use it in another mod, you must ask me first.

 

Disclaimer

----------

Also, if you're going to re-use this in a mod and upload that mod somewhere,

it'd be nice if my permission was asked. Likewise if you intend to upload this mod

In before the inevitable question . . .

No, it isn't compatible with TSLRCM.

[Hassat Hunter]

To which I pose the question; Why wouldn't it be?

 

???

[Darth InSidious]

Update: v0.3

v0.3 alters classes.2da to make use of class attack bonus tables. Classes now make use of different attack bonus tables:

Soldiers, Jedi Guardians, Jedi Weapon Masters, Sith Marauders, and Combat Droids use class attack bonus table 1;

Scouts, Jedi Sentinels, Minions, Expert Droids, Jedi Watchmen, and Sith Assassins use class attack bonus table 2;

Scoundrels, Jedi Consulars, Tech Specialists, Jedi Masters and Sith Lords use class attack bonus table 3.

 

Health regeneration is turned off, and Force point regen starts from a lower base (0.6 instead of 1.0).

 

Update: 0.2

v0.2 alters baseitems.2da to reduce the power of lightsabers: die-to-roll are reduced to 8 for lightsabers, 10 for double-sabers, 6 for short lightsabers.

 

I've also altered the description on DS to read 'yes' for compatibility with TSLRCM, and removed the defunct KotORFiles link.

Does the health regen work properly?

I tried fiddling with it, but the side-effect op putting that modded .2da in my override insta-healed all non-controlled PC's to full :/
