Hello again I am trying to add gas to the resource pool for quests using the following  code but i get a yellow console message that says it didnt get applied and I am unsure what to change to fix it. Thank you in advance for any help you guys give.

 

<append xpath="/loot/lootgroup[@name='groupQuestResources']">
    <item name="ammoGasCan" count="200"/>
    </append>

If you are removing the entire item, you need to do something like:

 

Remove from the quests file

<remove xpath="//reward[@id='groupQuestTools']">

 

This would remove every reward in each quest that has this id.

 

For the second example, try using this (quest file again)

 

<csv xpath="//reward[@id='groupQuestAmmo,groupQuestResources,groupQuestMods,groupQuestT1SkillMagazineBundle']/@value" delim="," op="remove">

groupQuestMods

groupQuestT1SkillMagazineBundle

</csv>

 

This should (if I done it right) remove the QuestMods and QuestT1SkillMagazineBundle from those lines.  You can adjust want you want to remove.

 

Thank you this will help alot i got it working but in a very round about and time consuming way lol with this i can shorten it a whole bunch

Hello I am trying to learn how to make small changes to make a harder game for me and my brothers but i cant for the life of me figure out how to remove specific quest rewards using xpath specifically all the weapons ,ammo ,armor basically anything that gives a complete item that can be crafted. I have pretty much no experience with this just started learning last night so any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Edit for progress. so i stopped receiving errors but i got a yellow console message saying that the changes didnt load this is the code i tried

<remove xpath="//lootgroup[@name='groupQuestAmmo']"/> 

 

Edit 2: i managed to get it to remove the stuff i wanted except when they are included in a reward choice that can be different things for example

<reward type="LootItem" id="groupQuestAmmo,groupQuestResources,groupQuestMods,groupQuestT1SkillMagazineBundle"

it doesnt remove them from these lines that can be different rewards each time.

Now that its possbile to attack through the holes in doors i would love to see special doors that have openable slots on them that you can close or open as the door owner or ally to enhance defendability of doors(sorry if this is a thing already havent looks) but i think being able to have a door that you can defend from behind without windows would be awesome and for balancing you could make shots throw that open slot slightly less efffective or however you guys see fit or even limit what kind of weapons cant hit through it for example stabbing s pear through that small slot would work better than trying to swing an axe at something through it.

I am currently using a mod that adds extra drops to trees (feathers eggs honey) but with this mod enabled the trees no longer drop them but breaking the little saplings does. what code would i need to add to your mod to make the trees drop the same stuff. i am a noob at modding 7 days to die so i am not familiar with how the code works for it.
