Edited DivisionRules.ndf and no changes are happening in game
I edited this file to change unit availability and after saving the .ndf and uploading the mod successfully there are no changes reflected in-game. What am I doing wrong?

Normally it should work, beside you changed the MaxPackNumber, which needs an additional change in the Divisions file.

Are you sure the correct mod with the edited files was activated? I had some serious trouble changing between them. It helped to upload it. Then you coul easily change between several mods, you can ofc hide your uploaded mod by changing visibility if you dont wanna publish it

I only edited the DivisionRules.ndf file and didn't increased add or take away any packs. I simply edited how much of each unit could be recruited during the phases and the XP multiplier. Did I need to edit anything else? The instructions are garbage for how to mod this game.

I made sure to activate the mod in game.

Sorry for the late reply, steam didnt gave me a notification...

Maybe you did something wrong with the multiplier? Im just guessing, because you reduce the count per vet lvl with that. Maybe your changes were simply erased. Like adding more units, but reducing the same amount over multiplier? Its quite uncommon, but maybe thats the issue.

And to clarify: Pack count needs to be changed in the Divisions file too, the number at the end ",1" for example.

In the DivisionRules you can change the units per card and their xp multiplier. Also some other stuff ofc...

Hope that gives you some useful hints, otherwise im really not sure, because it worked exactly that way for me

No, the issue is no changes are showing up at all. I literally changed pack counts and such for almost every unit in the deck I changed and I am not seeing anything reflected.

Anybody have a clue what's wrong?

Maybe we can go by it step by step:

In folder SteamApps\common\Steel Division 2\Mods\Test1\GameData\Generated\Gameplay\Decks
i changed the DivisionRules file to add an additional pack and some other transport options and it works.Here is my entry for the Batteriefuhrer from the 14th inf:

UnitDescriptor = ~/Descriptor_Unit_Batteriefuhrer_GER
AvailableWithoutTransport = True
AvailableTransportList = [~/Descriptor_Unit_Schwimmwagen_MG, ~/Descriptor_Unit_SdKfz_251_9, ~/Descriptor_Unit_SdKfz_251_7, ~/Descriptor_Unit_SdKfz_250_1, ~/Descriptor_Unit_Maultier_Mun_GER, ~/Descriptor_Unit_Sdkfz_11_GER, ~/Descriptor_Unit_SdKfz_10, ~/Descriptor_Unit_BMW_R75_transport_GER, ~/Descriptor_Unit_BA_20M_GER, ~/Descriptor_Unit_Kfz_70, ~/Descriptor_Unit_Kubelwagen_MG, ~/Descriptor_Unit_SdKfz_251_1, ~/Descriptor_Unit_Pavesi_P4_Supply_HON, ~/Descriptor_Unit_Komsomolets_HON, ~/Descriptor_Unit_SdKfz_221, ~/Descriptor_Unit_SdKfz_222, ~/Descriptor_Unit_SdKfz_251_10, ~/Descriptor_Unit_Sdkfz_11_Flak_GER]
MaxPackNumber = 2
NumberOfUnitInPackByPhase = [2, 4, 6]
NumberOfUnitInPackXPMultiplier = [1.0, 1.0, 0.5]

Ofc i made sure to add in the transports to the divisions pool too



Then i changed in the Divisions file in the same folder this line to add a 2nd pack to the card:

(~/Descriptor_Deck_Pack_TOE_GR_14_Inf_multi_Batteriefuhrer_GER, 2),

Thats how it worked for me...

Still no changes being made in-game. Am I supposed to do anything else besides upload mod?
Raoule 3 28 Nov, 2019 @ 10:53pm 
Thats really strange, i normally just generate it and dont upload it. Upload isnt needed to play it, thats only to share it with others.

Im sorry, that i cant help you with that. Maybe you can write a ticket to the support? Or you tell us what we should change for you, maybe we can upload it for now till you fixed your probs with creating :-)
MexicanYoga 1 29 Nov, 2019 @ 4:41pm 
Idk how it did it, but I tried uploading it one more time and it worked.
Raoule 3 29 Nov, 2019 @ 10:11pm 
Great news! Hopefully you solved the issue for the future too, happy editing!
