trying to add extra stats to food

Post by warlord1352 » Wed Apr 04, 2018 2:08 pm

I want to add extra stats to certain foods for special bonuses. My question is this: If I add bonus other than what it says or if something doesn't even say anything in the description and I add an effect or stat will it show in the description? If not does anyone know where I might be pointed to find them in the dats (if that's where they are)? Thank you!

description is entirely client side and has nothing to do with what the server sets the stats as

you can use POLUtils to browse dats https://github.com/Windower/POLUtils

Ok that's what I thought. I've already been trying to use the polutils but wasn't opening some dats. But I think I was using an older version as well.

*edit* Okay. So I tried the new updated version and it seems to be working much better now thanks!

So I have found the file(s) but how can I edit the .dat files? POLUtils won't let me do that.....

Hex editor. POLUtils is just for reading the data.
