Party Size Evolved

Description
Party Size Evolved increases the default party size limit to 6, with the option to configure it higher or lower, all the way to 10, or back down to 4.



5+ Multiplayer

Norbyte's Divinity Script Extender[github.com] is required for 5+ multiplayer to work. If enabled, the multiplayer limit will automatically be increased to 10 (thanks to PSE extender scripts), and PSE's lobby fixes will be enabled, allowing more players in the lobby and character creation.

Important: Only 4 players can be a "Custom" origin in character creation. This is due to a limitation in the game, where only 4 "generic" origin characters exist. If you try to make a 5th player a custom character, they won't work correctly (pink skin, can't change gender), due to the fact that the game tries to transform a named origin character, since it ran out of generics.



Features
  • The party size is set to 6 by default when the mod is activated. This can be increased to 10, or back down to 4.
  • Reflection dialog, party decision dialog, and flags/tags DOS2DE looks for in dialog have been taken into careful consideration, and made compatible. Even with 10 party members, they will all have reflection dialog.
  • No files are overwritten. PSE works by modifying databases and disabling a specific DOS2DE script to enable its own. Additionally, these changes can be reverted to return things to normal.
  • A settings dialog is available for the host to configure their max party size.

    This menu can be accessed with the PSE book, or through the LeaderLib mod menu.
  • Extended lobby slots, if the script extender is enabled:

    Update 1.3.0.0
    If the script extender is enabled, and LeaderLib is enabled, the max party size can now be set in the Mod Settings UI, located in the options menu.

  • A Party Management submenu is now available, allowing you to assign characters to other players.

  • Character switcher skills are now available, allowing controllers a way to switch between characters.

Selecting Party Members When You Have Too Many
If you increase the max party cap high enough to have portraits go off the screen, you can select these party members with the following keybinds:

The "Cycle Characters Next / Cycle Characters Prev" keybinds available in the controls menu (The default keys are left bracket [ and right bracket ] for Keyboard + Mouse).

Support
If you're feeling generous, an easy way to show support is by tipping me a coffee:

I love modding this game, and I love interacting with the community. Every bit helps to keep me doing what I'm doing. Thanks!

Bug Reports
If you experience any party-related bugs as a result of having more than 4 members, please notify me in the comments below, and I'll investigate it. All the bases should be covered, as I've gone through and looked to see where the party amount factors into Larian's scripts, but as this is a pretty complex thing, something may have been missed.

To help me narrow down the problem faster, use this format:

@Dragorm, it doesn't seem to adjust ingame or lobby size for GM, but there is a seperate mod that works cleanly enough for player limit increases
Dragorm 25 Sep @ 3:11am 
@Ruby Rose Never heard anyone try that. Since the mod page doesn't explicitly say anything regarding that mod, I assume it wouldn't but give it a try and share it here. I am curious too.


@﷽﷽﷽ Happy to hear that.

@Dragorm It wasnt setting the default to 6 for me even with Norbytes installed and working. However Leader Lib did allow me to fix the problem so thank you.
Ruby Rose 21 Sep @ 10:32am 
Does this work with GM mode out of curiosity? Looking to bump the size up to 5-6

@﷽﷽﷽
I can assume you have enabled the mod itself under mods in game and have also installed Norbyte's Script extender, correct?
I am asking this because the Party Size Evolved mod automatically increases the party size to "6" from the get go. So you must be missing something initially.

You should also download "Leader Lib" mod that grants you the "Open Mod Menu" skill when pressed K, drag them into your hot bar so you can use them. AFAIK, the only way to decease or increase the party limit would be through that mod. Two more skills will be shown in that screen: "Chain All" and "Unchain All". And just to let you know, these 3 skills do not take up in your Memory Attribute, they are innate skills.

Sorry if this has been Answered previously, but does this work for DE. If so how. I'm trying to get a solo game going with all six base character's, and it just doesn't seem to want to increase the normal size past 4.

The mod worked well until Act 3,where i failed to recruit more than 4 characters back to team,Sebille and Red Prince refused my invitation,and i noted that the PSE book was missing.

@Major GasMask, try to reload save on the ship, this worked for us with same problem (don't leave game)
Major GasMask 18 Jul @ 2:13am 
we started a 5 man party but the 5th person is stuck in a dimmed screen at the start after the cutscene at the ship and can't move but they can see us move and move the camera, anyway to fix that?
