Blueprint component patching

[FrozenDervish]

Just taking a look you'll want:

{
"_#ArrayMergeSettings": "Merge",

     Code you're changing here

}

[BurlyWurly]

It should work fine without the merge bit.

Looks like you're making the same mistake I did when I first tried to do components. There needs to be a unique name field within each component. It can say pretty much whatever you want, each one just needs to be unique. There's a pretty detailed conversation in Issue #16 between me and ijuintekka where I'm learning this for the first time. Here's an example of what your patch could look like:

{
  "Components": [
     {
      "$type": "a2844c135c0324e439072bd3cc2f9260, AddStatBonus",
      "Descriptor": "Morale",
      "Stat": "AC",
      "Value": 2,
      "name": "Morale_AC_Buff"
     },
     {
      "$type": "a2844c135c0324e439072bd3cc2f9260, AddStatBonus",
      "Descriptor": "Morale",
      "Stat": "AdditionalAttackBonus",
      "Value": 2,
      "name": "Morale_Attack_Buff"
      },
     {
      "$type": "a2844c135c0324e439072bd3cc2f9260, AddStatBonus",
      "Descriptor": "Morale",
      "Stat": "AdditionalDamage",
      "Value": 2,
      "name": "Morale_Damage_Buff"
      },
      {
       "$type": "3819276ccd091df42818bb86295941c1, SavingThrowBonusAgainstDescriptor",
       "SpellDescriptor": "Fear",
       "ModifierDescriptor": "Morale",
       "Value": 2,
       "name": "Morale_FearSave_Buff"
      }
   ]
}

As a side note, you can preserve spacing formatting by highlighting the area and pressing CTRL-E before you post.

So I added a unique name to each component and it didn't work. I also added "_#ArrayMergeSettings": "Merge",
at the top but that didn't work either.

I know WittleWolfie's mod wiki mentions type id is needed to be added to components as well, but I don't know how to get the type id.

[BurlyWurly]

You already have the type id in there. That's what $type is. You used to need dnSpy to pull them but with the Owlcat blueprint files which I assume you used, they're much easier to reference.

[BurlyWurly]

Looking at the Power of Faith ability, I see the buff has five separate tiers, each with its own set of blueprints. Are you patching every tier, or at least making sure the tier you're patching is the one you're testing?

[Senior-Sam61]

No I guess I'm talking about the context value? Here is the example on wittlewoflie's mod wiki for spell penetration:

"Components": [
{
"$type": "Kingmaker.Designers.Mechanics.Facts.SpellPenetrationBonus, Assembly-CSharp",
"Value": {
"$type": "Kingmaker.UnitLogic.Mechanics.ContextValue, Assembly-CSharp",
"Value": 2
},
"Descriptor": "UntypedStackable"
},
{
"$type": "Kingmaker.Designers.Mechanics.Recommendations.RecommendationRequiresSpellbook, Assembly-CSharp"
},
{
"$type": "Kingmaker.Blueprints.Classes.Prerequisites.PrerequisiteStatValue, Assembly-CSharp",
"Stat": "Intelligence",
"Value": 3
},
{
"$type": "Kingmaker.Designers.Mechanics.Facts.FeatureTagsComponent, Assembly-CSharp",
"FeatureTags": "Magic"
}
]

[BurlyWurly]

I couldn't tell you why he has that there, it has no type id in it, it's not doing anything. This is the actual spell penetration blueprint:

You've edited your original comment. That's not WrathTemplate format stuff anymore. That's similar to what blueprints look like when they've been extracted, as opposed to what you need to input to change them in this. I'm also pretty sure his guides are for if you're trying to make a UMM-installable mod through C# coding, not one of these.

[Senior-Sam61]

well trying to to use WrathTemplate but nothing I did worked, so that is why I went looking for a guide and i guess i got even more confused. I just posted an example from that mod wiki because it did reference the WrathTemplate. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[BurlyWurly]

The patch looks right. Post the zip to your whole mod.

[Senior-Sam61]

Ok.

[Senior-Sam61]

Here is a copy of the patch pre-build

Try this, see if it does anything.

      }
   ]
}

[Senior-Sam61]

No that didn't work either.

[BurlyWurly]

Are you applying the patch to the game right? Can you give me a screenshot of your C:\Users\user\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous

[Senior-Sam61]

[Senior-Sam61]

I think this is right

[BurlyWurly]

I'm at a loss at this point. @ijuintekka is probably the best bet for seeing what I'm missing.

[Senior-Sam61]

Ok, thank you for trying to help me.

This makes it work.

[Senior-Sam61]

That worked!!! Thank you so much!

[Senior-Sam61]

For tier 3-5 energy resistance and fortification is added to the buff. Can I just replace the morale bonuses or do I have to replace all the components?

[BurlyWurly]

You must replace everything. If you touch components, you've gotta recreate everything you don't change.

[Senior-Sam61]

Ok

[hmmvot]

You must replace everything. If you touch components, you've gotta recreate everything you don't change.

"_#ArrayMergeSettings": "Merge" allows you to use null in place of components you don't want to change. "Concat" allows you to add new components at the end of the Components array.

[BurlyWurly]

That's potentially very useful. What does that look like in practice?

[hmmvot]

You can find example in BlueprintCharge.patch:
First component is skipped than three next components are modified. "_#Entries" array allows you to apply different "_#ArrayMergeSettings" to different arrays of original blueprint.

Blueprints patching works via Newtonsof.Json JObject.Merge method:
originalBlueprint.Merge(patch, new JsonMergeSettings {MergeArrayHandling = MergeArrayHandling.Merge});
where originalBlueprint and patch are JObjects.

You can create project with Newtonsoft.Json and check your patches without starting the game.

[Senior-Sam61]

Ok so I didn't type this up right. I am trying to modify the morale bonus of PowerOfFaithTier3Buff and skip the energy resistance bonus, only the main character is getting the morale bonus and no energy resistance. My companions are not getting the buff at all.
