¶ Toolkit FAQ
- The following page covers the frequently asked questions about the toolkit.
- Huge thanks to Lunisole for compiling the majority of this knowledge.
- Thank you Arrow and jerinski for adding their own expertise.
- Feel free to add to this FAQ. Information about how to become a contributor are linked in the sidebar.
¶ General Usage
“Where can I find tutorials ?”
- You can find tutorials for the toolkit on mod.io or Larian’s website under “Guides”
“I want to leave some cells empty after overriding but it keeps filling in”
- Right click → Tick ‘Disable parent stat’s field inheritance’.
¶ Converting your mods to the toolkit and uploading them to mod.io
“How do I import old mods into the toolkit ?”
- There is no way to simply import them, but you can follow the converting our existing mods to toolkit guide.
“How do I publish my mod ?”
- Project settings → Publish
- There also is a guide
¶ Game Files
“What is the difference between Shared/SharedDev and Gustav/GustavDev ?”
- Shared and Gustav contain the Early Access content of the game.
- SharedDev and GustavDev include everything else.
- Shared folders are usually for player-related stats
- Gustavs are usually for NPC, items and such.
¶ Stats (Spells, Passives and Statuses)
“I can’t find this spell in stats editor !”
- Look for it in all Shared/SharedDev/Gustav and GustavDev.
- Or you can narrow it down with the answer above.
“Why do my spells not get added with AddSpells() ?”
- The stats editor doesn’t display the actual name of spells.
- Spell names will have a prefix, depending on their type.
- For instance, the cantrip FireBolt is actually called “Projectile_FireBolt” and must be referenced as such in your SpellLists.
“Is there a list of all functions and arguments for spells, passives and statuses ?”
- Not really, but there are community made resources about it such as LSLibDefinitions.xml
- And another guide coming soon.
“How do I test spells, passives and statuses in the editor ?”
- The debug console ! .
“How to stop the stats editor from scrolling back to first column ?”
- Go to options → untick “Horizontal Scroll Sync”. Or only use the top bar.
¶ VFX
“How do I do trajectories ?”
- You’re a nerd and you don’t exist, nobody cares about trajectories.
¶ Visuals
“How to export GR2 files into blender ?”
- There is an addon for blender you can use
- You can also just use lslib to convert gr2 into a blender format.
- For a more in-depth guide click here
“Do I need to create mesh entries for all races?”
- No. The human body type for example covers all elf races.
“Why can’t I find armor/clothing textures/meshes by name?”
- Textures for armors/clothing a lot of the times have the
HUM_Mprefix. - If you cannot find your resource by searching for
HUM_F_Insert_Armor_Name_Here, try adding theHUM_Mprefix:HUM_M_Insert_Armor_Name_Here - You can also use UndefinedScribble’s Resource here
- Internally the game calls body type 2 the Strong body type or adds S to the body type, so FS for Femme Strong or MS for Masc Strong.
- Strong body type body meshes are usually shared across races, unlike body type 1. So the
HUM_FS,TIF_FS,ORC_F, all might share the same top and bottom meshes for a given armor.
¶ Classes

- You can follow the Adding new classes or subclasses guide

- But you can put them inside containers by changing those container’s TreasureTable(s).
¶ Localization
“Are tooltips in description different in the toolkit ?”
- Yes, the formatting changed a bit. For instance,
<LSTag Tooltip="ArmourClass">Armour Class</LSTag>- is now:
<LSTag Tooltip="ArmourClass"><em>Armour</em> </LSTag>.
¶ Scripting
