More Helpers

Adds config options to change the max helper count. By default, this sets the count to 20.

The battle menu will show all of them.

If you remove the mod with more helpers than the max, they will still be there. As you dismiss helpers, the 'extra' ones will shift into the now empty spots.

This effectively just changes the max you're allowed to recruit to. (And thus, what the game will show.) The game will happily track helpers beyond the max.

Installing

• []Install UE4SS.

  []I made this and tested it with the experimental release v3. 0. 1-632-gb734711. It will not work on the stable release, and other versions are untested.

  []The short version, is just extract so the UE4SS folder and wrapper DLL (dwmapi.dll) wind up in the same folder as the game's `Win64-Shipping.exe`.

  []Extract this to the game's root folder. The folder structure in the zip should partially match what you have already. (If unsure, use your brain and find where the zip paths and the game's paths intersect.)

  Configuration

  Edit the json file. (Use https://jsonlint.com/ to validate your file/edits if needed.)

  If the json file is not present, it will be created on load (game launch).

  THE FILE IS ONLY READ ON LOAD!!!

  • []Change the keycode value to whatever key you want. See this UE4SS source file for the valid keycodes that are available.

    []Modifier keys are not available at the moment, just a single keypress.

    []The json requires the number to be in base-10. Base-16 numbers (e.g. 0x7B) are considered a syntax error.

  • No, the UE4SS system doesn't seem to handle joystick buttons, and I have no intention of re-inventing one. Just bind something to F12 or whatever key you want.

    Uninstalling

    Nothing special.

    Troubleshooting

    As this is loaded by UE4SS, this also writes to the UE4SS log. (Octopath_Traveler0\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\UE4SS.log)

    Check that file for something like the following:

    Config JSON path: O:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Octopath_Traveler0\Octopath_Traveler0\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\More Helpers\dlls\main.json

    Loaded config.

    newMaxHelpers: 20

    Saved config.

    ..............

    Changing the helper max count from 5 to 20.
