📋 About This Mod
This file modifies the drop rate of BBI cursed items found in chests. Nothing is added or removed from the chest loot pool just drop rate increase/decrease. I was inspired by Better Post-Dragon Everfall Drops(Merge File) and used the ist File Format Guide and ARCtool to unpack and edit the game files. Also used a Hex editor. Thanks to those who created ARCTool and the IST File Format Guide. That guide saved me a LOT of work.
Updated to add Armor level 2 and 3 to the increased drop chance from chests in BBI
This is just a personal project I was doing so nothing serious. BBI Armor ,Gear ,and Weapons lvl. 2 to lvl3 item drop rate's are increased. Some of the other drops in these specific chests where BBI items are found have lower chances so that I could upgrade the cursed items drop rate.
I'm currently playing in post Daimon game and it appears to be working for me. I would assume this would work for pre Daimon too but I haven't tested that yet. When I start NG+++++++++ I will check. Hope this helps remove some of the Godsbaning grind.
I uploaded it now because I'm feeling quite sick atm and don't know when I will finish this. Maybe someone can do the rest.
EDIT: I think this is the final version unless people really want Novelty item drop rates increased....
To install :
goto "...\Steam\steamapps\common\DDDA\nativePC\rom\" directory and make a backup of the file "bbs_rpg.arc" so that you can revert to the original if you want to.
Overwrite "...\Steam\steamapps\common\DDDA\nativePC\rom\bbs_rpg.arc" with the one in this download.
Start the game. Profitz
For merging only one file is modified in the bbs_rpg.arc archive:
bbs_rpg\etc\item\itemSetTbl.ist
