original mod description: (with updated instructions)
PREFACE:
This is a redux / overhaul of one of my first mods: Universal Grandmaster Set Bonuses. I initially only made the mod because of a request, with no intention
of using it. Then I got a comment suggesting that I should remake the
mod, but add a menu system where you can toggle bonuses on and off...
Honestly, that seemed way out of my skill level initially -- but as it
turned out it was pretty damn easy. Because of how easy it was
(compared to making my last mod, Combat Hud Redux), I decided to add additional sliders and options that allow you to
modify the bonuses even further, but keep in mind I didn't add
modifications for ALL bonuses, just the ones that were easy and straight
forward to modify.
INSTALLATION:
(1) Drop the "modUniversalSetBonusesRedux" folder into the "mods" folder in your Witcher 3 directory.
(2a) Drop the "bin" folder into your Witcher 3 directory.
(2b) If you're paranoid like me, copy and paste the "UniversalSetBonusesMenu.xml" file into your "..\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\" directory.
(2c) Add UniversalSetBonusesMenu.xml; to your dx11filelist.txt/dx12filelist.txt or the menu won't show
(3) Use the Witcher 3 Script Merger to find & fix any conflictions.
(4) READ THE NOTES DOWN BELOW! Could potentially fix an error for some.
Menu Step by Step:
If you use the dx11 version of the the game for example do this after
making sure UniversalSetBonusesMenu.xml is in the correct folder (/The Witcher 3\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc)
-
[]open dx11filelist.txt in notepad (in the same folder above)
[
]add this line exactly as it is to the bottom of the list
so it will look like this in the file
gameplay.xml;
hidden.xml;
localization.xml;
display.xml;
graphicsdx11.xml;
UniversalSetBonusesMenu.xml;
If you don't do this the menu won't appear.
