Yep, I think I made a mistake. I assumed I was supposed to take all modified files in folders named after the original .pak files, but thanks to the George Romero mod, it seems that all I needed to do is put all modified files in locations like "\Game\libs\class3\rts", absolutely no need to put them in folders named after .pak files.

Tried to reconfirm this by changing Marcus' name to some silly quasi-French name, converted the .xml to .bmd, and the changes showed up in the character inventory menu.

Perhaps it's possible to raise the ammunition stack from 30 to 100 with this method, after all. Hopefully.

Well, it had my hopes up for a bit there. Converted the xml to bmd, I put the extracted .pak files, including the ones that have been modified, into a folder with the same names as the original .pak files in the Game directory, but I think I'm doing something wrong, because the changes don't take effect.

So much for that, I guess.

Just in case the forum isn't up by the time you'll need it here's the link to the converter:

Right, thanks. How exactly do I use it, though?

What a horrible time to be stumbling to this. An entire week of chasing a false trail made out of .xml files, and no clear sign of a way to edit .win.bmd files.

I think I'll abandon this ship and come back when answers to this show up.

you can come back now , you can edit the xml files :)

There is a program called xml2bmd , out there, you can find it in undead labs forums (its currently down so try the link below ,when working again)

install the program (compiler) - edit xml -save it - drag the xml onto the program -wait a few seconds - voila the bmd is altered .remember to start a new game for it to take effect .

have fun :D

Yes, I found out about that yesterday, to my utter grief.

Hm, I might have already found it. Or at least a file that determines the inventory item stack. It's in libs\class3\items though, and I'm not quite sure if anything related to Class3 is used in the main State of Decay game. I'll give it a try, though. Fingers crossed.

I'm currently trying to look for the file that contains what might be hardcoded information in relation to ammunition stack. I'm looking to increase that stack from the default 30 to something like 60 or even 120. Any idea where it is?
