📋 About This Mod

What's this?

This mod provides buffs to the Mystic Knight skills Magic/Great Cannon, and Funnel/Vortex/Maelstrom Sigil. Duration of all skills is increased, radius for sigil skills is increased, and absorb speed (how fast monsters are sucked in) for Funnel and Vortex Sigil is increased.

Why make this mod?

Because I enjoy Mystic Knight a lot but having to sit through the slooow charge time to cast Great Cannon only to have it last less than 20 seconds annoys me to no end. And the sigil buffs are mainly there because I figured out where their values were while I was digging around trying to find the cannon duration values, and wanted to play around with them while also giving a little more oomph to a skill that had always felt to me a bit too lackluster to bother devoting a sword skill slot to.

How do I install/uninstall it?

OPTIONAL: First, back up your game files. Go to /nativePC/rom/wp/w0. You can either just copy this whole folder somewhere, or else find "mac.arc" and "one.arc" and back those files up individually, as they're the only ones that are actually modified. Adding ".bak" after the files' extensions is a simple way to do this.

INSTALL: Download the version of the mod you want, open the archive and extract the folders wherever you want. There are 2 folders in the archive; open the "install" folder to find a folder named "rom". Copy this folder, then navigate to /nativePC and paste the folder, merging it with the existing "rom" folder and subfolders. Whenever Windows asks if you want to merge a folder or overwrite a file, say yes.

UNINSTALL: Exactly the same as the install process, but open the "uninstall" folder in the mod archive and copy the "rom" folder from there instead. Alternatively, if you made a backup earlier, you can just restore it, deleting the modded "mac.arc" and "one.arc" files first if necessary.

SOMETHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG: Go to your Steam library, right-click on DDDA, and go to Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache. If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall the game.

What are the changes?
