Magick Archer Alternate Stat Growth

Update: 1. 1 - bumped 10-90 Attack to 2 - Added a balance version

Description This is a small mod for people who want to play a Magick Archer with decent stats who doesn't have to level as any class other than Magick Archer. The Stat changes are as follows.

Revised Balanced:

The magic focus version is basically a slightly altered Sorcerer stat progression while the balance is more a mix between vanilla MA and a reverse Ranger. Both are balanced with the rest of the classes stat growth.

Now before anyone asks, here is the process for editing the .xml files that effect stat growth, and here is a slightly easier to follow version: DO NOT level a pawn with a class that you have adjusted the stat growth on, they can no longer be shared. From the tools here: http://residentevilmodding.boards.net/thread/5774/arctool all you need is "ARCtool.exe" from the first rar and "pc-dd.bat" from the second. To simplify the process make a copy of pc-dd.bat and rename it pc-dd-xfs.bat.

Open your newly created pc-dd-xfs.bat with any text editor (like notepad++) and change it to: arctool -xfs -dd -texRE6 -alwayscomp -pc -txt -v 7 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

Now all you need is "game_main.arc" from "\Steam\steamapps\common\DDDA\nativePC\rom" (Needs to be in the same folder as exe and bat files)

You are now ready to mod. It is easier if you just copy everything you need into a new folder while working.

Step 1. Drag "game_main.arc" onto "pc-dd-xfs.bat". A folder called game_main will be created with all the files uncompressed.

Step 2. In said folder go to "game_main\param\pl\level". Edit the xml file of your choice.

Step 3. Make a copy of the entire "level" folder and then delete the "game_main" folder you created in Step 1.

Step 4. Drag "game_main.arc" onto "pc-dd.bat". A folder called game_main will be created.

Step 5. Go to "game_main\param\pl\" and delete the level folder. Replace it with the one you made a copy of in Step 3.

Step 6. Delete the "game_main.arc" you copied into your new work folder. Now drag the game_main folder onto "pc-dd-xfs.bat". This creates your now modded "game_main.arc".

Step 7. In "\Steam\steamapps\common\DDDA\nativePC\rom" make a backup of your original "game_main.arc" and move your now modded "game_main.arc" into it's place. Installation: Backup "game_main.arc" in nativePC\rom Extract archive into main DDDA folder
