Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing 2 Message Board  

So anybody tried modding the loottypes.cfg and/or artifacts.cfg like one could do in VH1 => www.cheathappens.com/show_board2.asp?headID=118108&titleID=19653 ?

I tried modding both of them and it seems to me that nothing works. Perhaps I'm just too stupid.

Anyone also tried and could help me out?

don't say that! you're not stupid! you just don't know how to.

...like me

Yes have mod'd both and had them work both in VH1 and 2. Biggest problem is that everytime they update this game the generally overwrite both of these so if have not saved a copy of your changes somewhere safe have to make them all again. If bringing stuff from vh1 make sure add your changed artifacts file to the vh1 folder in cfg.

Generally I only change the epic and set items.

e.g.

Artifact
{
Name=Vh2AxeEpic3
Icon=1hdualaxe_16_01
LootModel=dualaxe
EquipmentModel=1hdualaxe_16_01
EffectFilename=VHII\Equipments\Soulcleaver\Soulcleaver.N2E
Type=Weapon
SubType=Axe
Rarity=epic
MinLevel=45
MaxLevel=55
Value=13000
DamageMin=126
DamageMax=146
AttackRate=140
Alchemy=30
AlchemyPossible=1
Enchantments=AttributeBonus(value=25|35),life_stealUnique(value=12|13),damage_item_Unique(value=15|16),critical_damage_mulUnique(value=44|51),VH2_Instakill(value=15|15),VH2_Freeze_on_hit(value=15|15;kill_soldier=1000)

changed damage min/max and value for some of the enchantments .. and yes see same in the game. If already have the item put it in storage and then take it out and should get the change to take effect.

Could you please explain how to edit an item? I go to the save file folder, then the "Common" folder. Under that it says "Storage". I put a boot in the storage and quit the game. When I opened up the file in notepad, it didn't show anything. Is there a way to mod item to have beefy stats? Since CH just cancelled the trainer for it, I was hoping there is a work-around...
