Spell damage modding

International board Help & Bugs

When modding power of spells (lightning bolt, fireball, etc.) via spells.json, the in-game description shows the desired damage amount, but the actual damage dealt is unaffected. Example extract of modded spells.json is below - am I missing something?

"fireball" : {
    "index" : 21,
    "targetType": "LOCATION",
    "power" : 20,
    
    "animation":{
        "hit":"C13SPF"] //C13SPF0 ???
    },      
    "sounds": {
        "cast": "SPONTCOMB"
    },
    "levels" : {
        "base":{
            "range" : "0,1",
            "targetModifier":{"smart":false}
        },
       "none" : { "power" : 20 },
        "basic" : { "power" : 20 },
        "advanced" : { "power" : 100 },
        "expert" : { "power" : 200 },
    },
    "flags" : {
        "damage": true,
        "offensive": true,
        "negative": true
    },
    "immunity" : {
        "DIRECT_DAMAGE_IMMUNITY": true
    }
},

The only new lines are those with the word “power” in them.

#2

" “expert” : { “power” : 200 }," - remove comma on the end of line

#3

While technically that does cause an invalid json format, the parser seems well able to handle it, and the displayed power does update. So not really the issue here.

#4

Just remove that comma and test once more.

#5

Wow, I stand corrected - that did fix it. Thanks for that. Feel like a moron now for making assumptions without testing them.
