caolan1478 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Was wondering if there is a quicker way of getting the higher difficulties (niob etc) rather than having to complete the game multiple times? Link to comment
chattius 2,610 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) You can edit balance.txt if you play singleplayer or LAN. I am not at my game machine. Search of a line which has the normal levels: 1,1,60,100,140 Edit: Welcome to the forum BTW Edit2: corrected gold level Edited October 19, 2010 by chattius Link to comment
caolan1478 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 so that will let me select niob on single player ? lol Link to comment
claudius 104 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The only reason to go to niob at level 1 is to shop. A wolf or rat would 1 shot you in actual combat. Link to comment
caolan1478 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 I have a level 200 person but I dont have niob ? Link to comment
claudius 104 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yeah I think on single player you have to play the campaign. The levels don't unlock in single player. If you play multiplayer LAN by yourself it might work to unlock niob. Niob unlocks at 140 in closed net multiplayer. I am guessing it will work in other forms of multiplayer too but I am not sure.

Slevin 10 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Search of a line which has the normal levels: 1,1,60,100,140 Link to comment
chattius 2,610 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I am getting old, damn I am old. Of cause it is 60 for gold. balance.txt affects the multiplayer server. But you can play LAN alone on your own machine. Can't remember at the moment if once unlocked the difficulties stay in singleplayer. Link to comment
locolagarto 15 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 You can also use this utility Save Game Editor for SP and LAN characters. It will allow you to select the difficulty you want unlocked. http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?sh...c=16047&hl= Link to comment
caolan1478 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 I cant get that thing to work :/ Link to comment
locolagarto 15 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I cant get that thing to work :/ After you download the zip/rar file extract all files into a folder on your hardrive or desktop. then double click the .exe file and you should be fine. Link to comment

locolagarto 15 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 done that buts its when it asks me to select one of the saved games that it then says file not found Thats really odd. I just downloaded it to my work PC and also downloaded schots luckiest man alive savegame file and I opened them just fine. could it be a windows UAC issue? Link to comment
caolan1478 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Got all fixed up had a bit of problem following your instruction :L Link to comment
Trisse 1 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 In SP, simple editing of level requirements is not enough, as the game will not let you start a campaign without completing the previous one. However, there is a workaround for this - once you tweak level requirements to your liking, start a LAN "free" game on desired difficulty. The game remembers last difficulty played, and "completed campaign" restrictions seem to apply only to choosing higher difficulties, not actually playing one. So, once you spend a few seconds in LAN niobium game, your character is locked to niobium by default, even though "difficulty selection" window on char selection screen is left blank. I used this trick to totally skip Gold, moving into platinum directly from silver. One thing to remember is that should you play a different char for a while, the difficulty will reset to the last one played; repeat the LAN trick to solve this. Have fun Link to comment
