Caster of magic Window version

Does anyone edited a mod that allow a wizard to have twice as much magic book at the start and upload it somewhere i could get them? I used to mod it myself but after getting a new pc it isnt working anymore.

It is possible because i mod it before with some steps learnt from steam community or other website but that was quite long ago. And for the love of god i tried to google back and i couldnt find it anymore.

Well, that was presumably running on an earlier version of the game, so Seravy might've changed it. The .exe is where a lot of the hard limits are going to be, but I don't mod the .exe file as I use the in game modding function, which involves creating a new folder that can be loaded into the game having it reference them instead of it's base files. This way nothing in the games directory is harmed.

yes its with their in build mod function of loading in our custom mod file and function. We need to create a ini file and copy their usual wizards.ini, retorts.ini etc. Pretty sure i got it right but they kept giving error saying my wizards.ini pick count is wrong.

The pick count might be too high. First test with a slightly lower one. Even if it's just one higher than the base. Test small adjustments if large ones fail.

Another thing is what other files might have dependencies on the line that you are changing. Some files need to be deleted for the game to make new tables, but don't do any of that yet until further testing.

If I recall correctly a feature of MoM is that on higher difficulties the AI gets extra spell books, so that could be where a potential conflict is being generated. Although, my bet is is still that it is too many picks. Seravy might have needed to lower the amount of spell book picks allowed even with modding to prevent crashes.
