How to copy items from one mod to the other (Tutorial)

[Drizzt]

Thanks DJ.

 

[EasyCo506]

I have a question as well, though I probably already know the answer.

Can you do this with a mod from one version, to a mod in another?

As in, take a lightsaber from the .751 star wars mod, and put it in the .808 mod, Battle for Sicily.

 

[DSparil]

Yes you can, there shouldnt be any problems.

 

[Drizzt]

But, will it work?

 

[DSparil]

Yes it will. I have done it plenty of times.

 

[Drizzt]

Yay! Now to cut down river pirates with my new lightsaber!

 

[DSparil]

Thats what copying items is all about!

Do you have the codes to make firearms and ammunition available at merchants?

                     ]),

Add this.

Module_info(In your mod's file folder)

display_wp_firearms = 1

Just do this 1.

That is totally different than what this thread is about.

Indeed, this is for those who do not have acces to the source of a certain mod, yet want to add more items.
Unfortunately the code for making firearms available in stores is in triggers.txt, wich is basically unreadable. 

 

[Night Raider]

even for the pistol that is included in native?

 

[DSparil]

At best, I could tell you how to include that pistol and cartridges in the zendar chest of native, but its native after all, you could easily do that with the module system. As soon as a mod adds a new item, all changes. Unless they add the items at the bottom of the list, but that doesnt happen very often.

 

[Night Raider]

ok thanks - as of now I'm too lazy to use the module system just for that

That should give you the flintlock and two cartridges. I havent tested it myself, so Im not sure if it will work. Backup first.

Very good guide !

 

[Hound_of_Culann]

Was wondering, does the armor code to enable armor to be sold in shops work with clothing also (courtly/nobility outfits)?

EDIT-Perhaps we could get a code to enable boots for the Khergit boots?  Also a question:  unlike mods where the item files seem accessible, to do this in Native I'm guessing we need the brf editor?  Thanks for the info!

Not sure, you can always try tough.

The code for "metallic" foot armor is 65550. So change:

itm_khergit_guard_boots Khergit_Guard_Boots Khergit_Guard_Boots 1  lamellar_boots_a_L 0  3854 0 254 126976 1.000000 100 0 0 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0

to:

itm_khergit_guard_boots Khergit_Guard_Boots Khergit_Guard_Boots 1  lamellar_boots_a_L 0  65550 0 254 126976 1.000000 100 0 0 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0

You don't need to do anything with the brf to add this boots, the meshes are included in native.

 

[SnoeiSchaaR]

Gonna try to copy some units from other mods into Native, just to see if I'm able to do it..
Tnx for this really cool tool 

 

[Charidemus]

so in where inside the module.ini file do you add the load_mod_recource = extra_stuff
