Man I'd love just a infusion point increase :c

Hey man wondering what you did for the infusion points. I can set it to 20 like yours but it crashes whenever I go over 5 points

Thanx man!

Okay, seems like that this mod is no longer maintained and oudated so decided to release mine. You can now download my lvl 30 heroes mod, the link is attached to the mod description.

Load before or after yours?

I did try it when I reached 20 and realized that was it... Would it be different if I had it installed when game started?

I suggest you to use https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3372666220&searchtext=level+30

Cant seem to find working mod for level 30 hero cap, any chance you could add it to one of yours? Var3b is my choice.

Dont worry i have no grudges (really no any particural reason for it), beside everyone makes mistakes. I was also no enough clear with my responses seems like it and thought you didnt grasp any of it, when i tried to give a hint that my mod inject changes to some base game files. About the saving notification that pops up before closing the base .rpk, the confirm button doesnt work, you need to save it yourself by clicking save button in file bar menu. Yeah modding tools are bugged, sometimes it makes hard also to me work with it. Merry Christmass and Happy New Year!

@SkyPhoenixZ1 Hopefully no harm done because it might appear I'm hostile with my replies but it is just frustration at the modding process because anyone just relying on the guide by Paradox won't know about this particular problem.

Just wanted to post here again. I promise it's the last time but this is very important info for modders, especially novice ones who rely solely on using the guide since that doesn't mention this problem. Specifically for Windows users with OneDrive. If you want to make mods or edit someone else's, you must open the .acp from the Users\username\AppData\Roaming\ParadoxInteractive\AgeOfWonders4\Mods\(mod you want to edit). So move the mod folder there first if it isn't. Otherwise any changes you make on the vanilla .rpks won't get saved. You will know when it works if you open an .rpk file you want to edit, it must contain the mod name on the title bar top side. When done editing what you want and close the Resource Editor, it will ask you if you want to save the .acp file. You can always put the mod back in the Documents directory.

I gonna say and explain this last time, this mod makes changes to HeroDefinitions, HeroGlobalSettings rpk files and some more, my own rpk file is for forge releted things, nothing more. If you want to know which files are modified you should read attached to the mod detailed txt file, where paths are explained to properties, including ones affecting your starting bonuses and leveling progression. Made changes to base game files are storaged inside "x.acp", you should start to study guide provided by game developer to get know how things work and link to each other.

I'll try to clarify once again what I'm trying to understand about this mod. Your description clearly states that the mod enables rulers and heroes to start with +3 skill points and each level up grants +3 skill points. Normally it is only +1 per level up. I don't know where in your mod allows you to change this. I only see the one pertaining to the item forge, which grants infusion points among other things about forging. This has nothing to do with the hero or ruler getting skill points to use learning skills and abilities, and that is what I was trying to find.

I dont know how you have got that idea but its clearly visible you dont understand how mods work. My mod overwrites some certain properties in some rpk files, including ones i mentioned earlier. Its affecting Rulers, Heroes and Item Forge as mod description says, i had to make my custom rpk file to add some extra rules preventing potential crashes and to adjust binding essence costs.

I see. But how did you manage to implement the changes to points gained per level up without making changes to HeroDefinitions and HeroGlobalSettings?

This file only contains additional determiners related to more infusion points, so the game wont crash if you go past 5, also it allowed me to adjust prices about how much binding essence you need to spend to make an item. All things related to heroes are stored inside base game files "HeroDefinitions.rpk" and "HeroGlobalSettings.rpk", for more info, all my mods have attached detailed changelog file which describes also paths to certain properties you are looking for.

I was studying your mod's rpk file, which is the item forge extra rules but I don't see anything that changes how many skill points you get per level up. I wanted to see if I can change those variables using your mod as a template but there are no other categories listed other than the item forge cost tiers. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place?

yes you were right it was another mod conflicting I disabled it and works fine thank you

I checked this current build and one other randomly chosen variant of my mod, also to note i didnt run any other mods that could conflict with this. The result of examination is that all hero characters regardless of classes and their origins get starting skill points bonus, also other bonuses properly. I think you may use other mod which may overwrite hero definitions .rpk files and that is why you dont get these bonuses.

the new class does not get the +3 starting skill points everything else is works with the new class just the starting skill points

If your dragon lords started to look weird, i fixed it. They updated rpk file responsible for dragon lords, if you wondered why they lost suddenly their models, this was the culprit. I had to update tables affecting dragon lords from scratch so if there are unintended things, like i missed something or added wrong property please let me know. For now i decided to make a break from playing AoW4 game and return back when new DLC comes out, however still want to maintain these mods properly and i might be unable to catch everything on my own.

Anyway to increase hero lvl cap to 30?

thx!!!
