DAIL Mod

Overview

1000s of my own edits + 12 mods merged in for your convenience with alternate files if you don’t want certain things.

The Mission and Features

Incorporate mods, or parts of mods that increase the replay-ability of the game while adding some actual endgame content without making it easier, or breaking main game saves that get transferred over to try it out.

Features so far that work
Yes, you can bring your main game saves in and they will work. See below for more details.
Level 100 player level cap
Monsters are uncapped in every area
Masteries go to level 100 ! and have ultimate bonuses that start at level 51.
Cornucopia has been merged (Devotions only at the moment).
Sot/Boc do not have doors anymore. so if you die you can run back in from an outside portal! You
quests will reset the first time you load this map
Ranger, Necromancer and Coronus Masteries added and working including loot affixes.
Loot Affixes for Epic and Legendary items (RNGesus approves of this)
Omega mod infinite quest for player alternative power growth
Food and con pots will restore 20% of your mana.
RIFT/MAPPING MOD unlimited dynamically generated areas for your endgame enjoyment!
Stasher Mod for massive bank and transfer stash (stop playing inventory tetris and get this mod now!)
Special npc who likes iron bits in Devils Crossing:

secret area 1 unlocked
secret area 2 unlocked

Regarding XP in DAIL
Basically level>90 is HELL. but you will receive TEN (10) skill points every level after 90 until 100.

Installation/notes

WHERE IS MY GRIM DAWN FOLDER YO
STEAM: if you can’t find your grim dawn folder it might be under c:(x86)Program FilesSteamSteamappsCommonGrim DawnMods

GOG however may be elsewhere.. its more configurable than steam, for installations since there IS NO DRM.

YOUR MAIN GAME SAVE IS COMPATIBLE AND WILL NOT BREAK IF YOUR IMPORT YOUR CHARACTER OVER
Your xp will be reset to the beginning of your current level if you play your DAIL touched character in a non level cap raised mod / main campaign.

GUIDE FOR USING MY CUSTOM MAPS BUT NOT LOSING YOUR MAIN GAME PROGRESS OR RESTORING YOUR MAIN GAME PROGRESS

On some updates, for reasons I do not know, you will see directories with the names like Maps_world001.map (which was the latest one created) or levels_world001.map (was the previous versions directory).

If there is a new directory created in the character save folder, which is not in your backup version of the save then make sure you copy the contents of the old level_ or Maps_directory into the new one and your progress is returned.

Hope this helps. Not sure how to do this if you have steam save activated but I suspect if you go to where they are being stored and do the same it will work as well, I haven’t tested that yet.

GUIDE FOR USING YOUR MAIN CHARACTER IN THE MOD AND NOT “LOSING YOUR STUFF” EACH SESSION

Somehow it doesn’t work for the shared stash.

Here’s how you do it:
Warning: the instructions below can ruin your save games if you do something wrong. To be safe, make a back-up of your whole save folder first.

You need to open notepad and copy+paste the code below. Later, you will need to turn it into a batch file, but first you must edit the path to your own save folders. Best is to use replace all (ctr+h) in notepad to make sure you don’t miss anything.

USERNAME should be your username
CHARACTERNAME should be the name of your vanilla game hero
MODNAME should be the name of the mod that you are sharing your formulas with. The first time you play a mod a folder is made in the save folder, and MODNAME should be spelled the same. If you don’t want to share formulas you can forget about this one.

When you are done, click save as, and in the following screen click save as again, select all file types, and add .bat to the name of your file. Save and you now have your very own batch-file! Before you run it, you have to make sure that there is no custom hero with the same name as your main hero, because if the file already exists the code will not work. The same is true for your formulas so if you want this you have to remove or back up (which you already did, right?) the files formulas.gst and formulas.gst.bak. Remove them from Grim Dawnsavemodname and not from Grim Dawnsave (!).

Finally, right-click the batch-file and select run as administrator.

If you are successful, deleting either your main hero or your custom hero in-game will delete both. If you ever wish to get rid of these symbolic link shenanigans you must manually delete the two formulas in savemodname and your custom hero folder savecustom_charactername. Or you can use your back-up.

Code:

mklink /d c:users”USERNAME”documents”my games””grim dawn”saveuser”_CHARACTERNAME” c:users”USERNAME”documents”my games””grim dawn”savemain”_CHARACTERNAME”

mklink c:users”USERNAME”documents”my games””grim dawn”save”MODNAME”formulas.gst c:users”USERNAME”documents”my games””grim dawn”saveformulas.gst
mklink c:users”USERNAME”documents”my games””grim dawn”save”MODNAME”formulas.gst.bak c:users”USERNAME”documents”my games””grim dawn”saveformulas.gst.bak

10 skills per level (instead of 2) after level 90 to 100 (so total of 100 skill points from 91 to 100 !)
reverted items back to being leveled. garbage was consistantly dropping for high level characters (unacceptable)
updated survival to 0.6

SoT and BoC
*doors have been forcibly removed. giving multiplayer games more uptime
in the event of a lag raid death from the massive amount of spawns.
*the teleports still dont work inside but thats ok. you can set one up just outside and run back in if you die.

Changes that require updating the main game database.arz
->MaxDevotion set to 59 (maximum legitimately possible in maingame atm)
->All masteries go to level 100 now
->your maingame saves STILL won’t be broken with this change

0011 – 2:48 PM 5/23/2016
XP can be curved – monster xp was set to 25% of regular.
I’ve changed monster xp to 80% of regular and I’ve curved the xp using a
math formula so that xp is “vanilla” until level 50ish then it ramps up
quickly to 53% extra xp per level by 100
Omega updated to 0.1k
Surival mode updated to 0.41
Removed level restrictions on items and affixes
Rift/Mapping mod from WareBare has been added successfully! As a separate mod since its it’s own world.
I toned back the spawns a bit more. should’nt be any x4 purple bosses anymore.

0010 – 10:20 AM 5/22/2016
fixed the icons so they aren’t upside down
cleaned up alot more tags
omegamod update to version J – many bugfixes and new omega bosses added as well as 3 new icons
added a “DAIL – Survival” build as an alternative to leveling and
gearing up if you just want to fight waves of monsters one after another
in the “GrimDawn: Eternal” from PrincessLuna (imho it is Princess LUA)

0009 – 10:24 PM 5/21/2016
quick fix for projectiles and other fx

0008 – 1:58 PM 5/21/2016
merged cftx ranger/necro mod
also renamed the arachnophobia mod because if it has a diff name they
wont be able to play with regular DAIL users. its just a graphical thing
so why restrict them?
cleaned up some tags and .tex files
next up: updates on necro, coronus, grimmest dawn, and any release of the rift mod will be incorporated.
maybe some initial research into cornucopia.. if it breaks vanilla chars . it might be annoying.
dont be shy about suggestions people. the way mods work for GD is annoying so we really do need these compilations ;

0007 – 12:12 AM 5/21/2016
merged in the tt300 version of stasher mod for all our stashing needs
next up: gonna take another crack at merging the ranger / necro
masteries with coronus now that i know a bit more about .tex/etc
trickery
added an arachnophobia version too

0006 – 6:08 PM 5/20/2016
Merged in Coronus Mod
Attempted to merge Necro/Ranger/etc mod – cancelled. after unpacking it.
it was too big and contained too much

Prayer to RNGesus
