Let it slide...
FOR:
_______Enjoying life better!
_______Getting the minimum & maximum those sliders can go in menu settings (mostly Gameplay) expanded.
_______Includes sliders for:
.........................Carry weight
.........................Loot chances
.........................Buy/sell
.........................Hit power
.........................Stamina
.........................Weapon degradation
.........................Sex size
.........................So on and so forth
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Example: Weapon degradation can now be set from 0 to 10 (before limit was 1 to 3 or something).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Example: Carry weight can now be set from 10 to 2000 (lol) (before limit was 10 to 100 or something).
_______UNFORTUNATELY some parameters will remain unaffected by the changes that go beyond their initial value (weapon degardation for example, so scratch this one out from the list). This is due apparently to engine limitation/hardcoded stuff (read Vintar explanation in comment section -- thx Vintar ;).
So...try and see for yourself what works and what doesn't: with some luck and faith, placebo effect will kick in and you'll see a difference where there is none. L-O-L
=====================================================================================
WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
______THIS IS UNTESTED MODIFICATION. SO FAR IT WORKS FOR ME, BUT BY UNTESTED I MEAN "TO ITS FULL EFFECT". E.g. maybe setting your carry weight all the way to 2000 and loading onto yourself stuff up to that limit may well have unexpected consequences. Or setting "that setting" down to 0 may bug some game mechanic/not work. I don't know, HELP ME AND OTHER USERS by using it and giving me feedback, so that if it so happens to be buggy/harmful in any way, I can remove it. BUT DON'T BE AFRAID: this is a pretty easy-no-big-deal modification of a simple file, so it should NOT destroy your game (but I don't know.... Shit happen XD).
=====================================================================================
INSTALL:
______(WARNING: Make a backup of your gamedata folder in case you would like to revert to before you used the mod; better still: use JSGME to install mods, as it makes life easier adding/removing any of them). ______Download the .rar file.
______Extract using any unzipping soft.
______Open the folder and copy the "gamedata" folder to your main Anomaly folder. Overwrite or fusion if prompted to do so.
=====================================================================================
CONFLICT:
______Should be alright with ANYTHING that doesn't modify the UI_OPTION.SCRIPT file. In doubt, HAVE SOME BACKUP.
=====================================================================================
USEFUL INFO:
_______THIS IS UNTESTED MODIFICATION: please, consider taking a deep breath before storming the comment section. BUT, if you find any useful recommendation to share with me, go ahead.
_______SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE.
_______Should not need any update UNLESS next patch of Anomaly changes the file mentionned above in the CONFLICT section.
_______BE CAREFUL TWEAKING THE NEW SETTINGS, especially if you're in the middle of a playthrough. I advise you WRITE DOWN SOMEWHERE YOUR CURRENT SETTINGS VALUES so you have some point of reference in case you go overboard.
=====================================================================================
WHY USE IT?:
______You owe it to me. And to you. But more importantly, it is nice to have very scarce loot when you play the game the survival way, and also not to have to check your weapon every second between two shots to check if you went under 90% condition (that get you killed, guys...). And these are things that can't be done with the current settings. That's all.
=====================================================================================
PLEASE:
_______Support me on patreon: I have spent an awful amount of time these last few minutes modifying the single file this modification modifies and writing this read me/description about that modificating of mine. Modding is all my life, so consider tipping me like 65000 dollars/roubles so I can get a suitable headlamp and continue my heavy work of modifications, even in the dark. That will help me last one more day in this harsh world and bring you more of the modifications you need and like. Merci. Wink wink.
Just thought I should point something out:
The options in ui_options.script aren't all handled the same by the game engine. Some are .ini/.ltx tweaks, others just input console commands, etc.
The ones that are console commands, such as weapon degradation, have engine-hardcoded limits. For Anomaly 1.5.0 U4 H8, weapon degradation has limits [0.5, 2.0]. So even if you set your slider to 0.1, it won't actually change it to that. Since it's a console command, it'll instead act like you input an invalid command, and revert back to the previous acceptable value.
This is a bug that exists even with vanilla Anomaly, since they changed the slider to go all the way to 0.1 but not the game engine limits.
Yeah, thanks Vintar... As I quickly found out, some things are not registering the change (namely the weapon degradation thingy, which was the main reason for my tweaking the whole thing)... I was afraid actually that there was a reason for those sliders to be the way they are originally, and that NOTHING would work, but yeah, still some changes apply like the buy/sell parameters, loot rarity, carry weight, etc., so it is indeed as you described I guess. So thanks again, I'll notify it in the description ;)
Jo, that's right. Xray complains in the log.
It also indicates which values are valid.
Thanks buddy. When I saw that that trader was not giving me his stuff for free, I suspected something dubious, lol (and I killed him... Double lol ^^). No, kidding, actually the sell/buy slider changes stuff OK, like for some others, but I guess you found out by now as you got the log. Vintar above explained that there were hardcoded stuff so... Too bad :/

I can't seem to increase the max carry weight. I'll set it to a value on the slider but, after clicking save settings, it resets to 25.
what does "sex size" do?
Any chance you could add repair cost modifier to this? Or do you by any chance know if there's a way to change that myself? Thanks for the mod.
It crashes my game while I JSGME'd it.
How doe?
