Mod Complete: All Artifacts Either Hand

[juscurt]

I'm currently editing the MPQ to make all artifacts MPQ equippable by either hand. Maybe it was designed this way to avoid stat stacking, but I think it takes away from the fun. 
The edits shouldn't take too long, literally changing "left" or "right" to EITHER, but I have to save it in a tedious way for the game to work. 


I plan to complete this all by November and I'll release the files here.

Per the GSM, you will want to use Notepad++. There is a feature that allows you to replace text by files and directories.

You would do two edits this way.

CTRL+H hotkey in Notepad++
then select the 'Find in Files' tab.

'Find What'
[1] ARTIFACT_WIELD_LEFT
[2] ARTIFACT_WIELD_RIGHT
to
'Replace With'
ARTIFACT_WIELD_EITHER

Obviously, make sure you only point to the 'gs\ARTIFACT\' folder.

And perhaps use 'Match Case' or "Match Whole Word Only' options.

That would be awesome, unfortunately for me, notepad++ "corrupts" the file when I replace the edited in the folder. My workaround has been regular notepad when editing.

This mod is complete! The dropbox contains all you need to easily install the edits. 
Once you have Ladiks MPQ, it's just an add & replace of the files.

Good job! Did you just change the artifacts wielding rules or also other things?

Thank you! Only the artifacts for the Faiths were edited. 
My coding experience is beginner, so I'm glad this was easy enough [Laugh out Loud]

Totally Forgot this one: These edits also include the bug fix to the Life Spirit Bow which slowed down rate of fire instead of increasing it. 

Mentioned here.


I haven't found other bugs like this, but if you know of any, let me know.
