"xml.dat\engine\.xml" Addons?

[Gezel]

I wanted to make addons to change iris colors, but even though it seems there's no problem in applying them in BnS Buddy's log, the value in the .xml does not change.

This is how I have my .patch set up, and editing this manually gives me the desired result, so I'm thinking I didn't format the directory properly?

FileName = xml[bit].dat.files\\engine\\charactertoolappearance_color.xml
Search = <record alias="JinF_iriscolor_002" color-1="0.700000,0.030000,0.030000" color-10="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-2="0.820000,0.290000,0.000000"
Replace = <record alias="JinF_iriscolor_002" color-1="2.100000,0.090000,0.090000" color-10="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-2="2.420000,0.870000,0.000000"
Description = Changes the JinF's red eye color (02) to be more vivid.

try typing out the entire code, rather than just part of it. you dont have the end of the code on there

 

[Gezel]

I did that initially, same result. I actually trimmed it to see if perhaps it didn't work with such long strings, but that isn't the problem.

 

[Heldegas]

I'm not sure but I think you can remove the "\\engine" part and try it this way to see if it works ?
Might be that it's not taking sub-directories into account.

 

[Gezel]

Made sense, but if tried this way, it has to skip patching because "xml.dat.files\charactertoolappearance_color.xml does not exist".

Edit: With "FileName = xml[bit].dat.files\\engine\\charactertoolappearance_color.xml", it correctly decompiles and edits the target .xml, but does not compile a new xml.dat before starting the game, as it does with addons that edit anything directly under xml.dat.files\.

Just tried with this, seemed to patch it :

FileName = xml[bit].dat.files\\engine\charactertoolappearance_color.xml

But I also entered full strings, haven't tested without full strings so here's the full code in case :

FileName = xml[bit].dat.files\\engine\charactertoolappearance_color.xml
Search = <record alias="JinF_iriscolor_002" color-1="0.700000,0.030000,0.030000" color-10="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-2="0.820000,0.290000,0.000000" color-3="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-4="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-5="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-6="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-7="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-8="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-9="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" data-version="2" description="" id="2" name="JinF_iriscolor_002" race="진" sex="여" type-color="eye2-iris-color" />
Replace = <record alias="JinF_iriscolor_002" color-1="2.100000,0.090000,0.090000" color-10="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-2="2.420000,0.870000,0.000000" color-3="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-4="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-5="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-6="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-7="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-8="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" color-9="0.000000,0.000000,0.000000" data-version="2" description="" id="2" name="JinF_iriscolor_002" race="진" sex="여" type-color="eye2-iris-color" />

Will try right now. Thank you for the help!

Edit: Unfortunately it does not, at least not for me. It once again started the game before even attempting to recompile.

Spoiler: This is what happens

[Heldegas]

You're welcome, let me know if it works

 

[War]

rip once i slept this topic started , feelsbadman
glad you found the assist you needed Gezel

 

[Gezel]

I still can't get it to recompile the edits before running the game, so I'd like to hear what you have to say!

 

[Endless]

Guys, if it doesn't compile is because you're using a character that is not supported.
for example french quotes “ and ”

Are you completely sure that is the reason? Upon reading your post I immediately thought "oh, of course, the Korean characters at the end", but the short code I posted at first that doesn't have them and should work still doesn't, and there are no other iffy characters in it as far as I'm aware?

not really, kor char are 'a ok.

 

[Gezel]

Then why does it not work? It has absolutely no characters that aren't used in editing something like client.config2.xml...

i have no idea, have you tried on previous update?

Fixed a bug on a new release of bns buddy not clearing the old dat files.
Try this one: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...15589089153122304/Release-Test5.8.9.4rev7.rar
It fixed the problem for me <3

And since this topic was open for quite a while and addon works for me, i'll assume it'll be solved.
