Modding: Changing Hero Mode Values

This guide will tell you how to change hero mode technic values.

You will need a text editor like Notepad++. Also, your .dat file should be extracted.

Step 1: Open your chosen level.cfg. For this tutorial we will be changing the bonuslevel1 config.

Step 2: Navigate to the line that says "GOLD". This value seems inconsistent across levels and you will need to conduct some trial and error depending on what level you're modifying, but with the bonus levels, it appears to multiply the number here by ten. Change this to your chosen value keeping this in mind (e.g. 15000 will become 150000 pieces in-game).

Step 2a: If modifying other levels, keep in mind that each GOLD value syncs up to a necessary GOLD constraction. The order of the GOLD values is sequential - for example, the first gold value in water1 is for the gold constraction on the beach, and the second is for the gold constraction in front of the giant Vezok head (the first and second gold constractions respectively). Make sure you take this into account before setting the value too high or too low!

Step 3: Save and test your changes in-game!

Tips: Due to the inconsistent nature of the GOLD value, you might want to slowly collect technic pieces to solidify how exactly this value works in your chosen level. Also, make sure your value does not exceed six digits, after the calculations specific to that level; otherwise, you will start that section with Hero Mode already active. Setting the value to 0 also has this effect.
