[DISCONTINUED] Way More Loot Mode for Total War Warhammer II

DISCONTINUATION NOTICE: it is to my great regret that I accnounce the discontinuation of this project. Matters of my life as well as a most perculiar case of harddrive dying has caused me to stop playing this game, Something I don't forsee changing in the near future.

I should imagine this mod should still function with the Experiment update, however, as I don't see why CA needs to change the tables changed in my mod. Simply enable outdated mods in the launcher and enable Way More Loot for Total War Warhammer II.

Assuming this mod works for the current update, updating this mod for any future changes should be trivial, as it only invovles adding entries for the new characters added.

Instruction for such updates:

1. Open wh2_Way_More_Loot.pack with Pack File Manager.

2. Click once on "wh2_way_more_loot_data" under the "character_skill_node_tables" tab.

3. Scroll to the buttom of the page. Right click on the empty entry on the buttom and click on "insert row" or simply double click on any field on the empty entry to add a new entry.

4. You may copy any existing entry and paste it to the new entry. Make sure all values of the fields are correct.

5. Simply change the value under "key" to the key value of the character you wish to add. This value should be found in the data.pack file in Total War Warhammer II's root directory, under either "land_units_tables" or "main_units_tables".

6. After that, change the value under character_skill_node_key to the skill node corresponding to the character. The values can be found in the character_skill_node_key table in the data.pack file.

Mod Description: The Way More Loot mod does exactly what its predecessor for the original Total War Warhammer did - every lord gets an hidden ability that increases their loot drop rate by 100% for every battle victory. The Loot Drop rewards may be an item, a banner, or a retinue/follower, as they are all considered ancillaries in the game files. All lords currently in the game files, even those unplayable at the moment, will have almost guaranteed loot drop for every victory they make on the campaign map, even if they are controlled by the AI.

Note that there seems to be a hidden max loot drop rate cap in the game, as on rare occasions, nothing is rewarded to the player after a successful battle (manually fought or otherwise). However, as my testing showed, this is very rare and most of the time at least one ancillary is rewarded per battle.

Also note that since the buff is for individual lords, multiple lords fighting in the same battle entitles all of them to a reward drop. With this mod on, winning a battle with 3 lords on your side means it should reward you with at least 3 items.

Finally, this mod can be activated or disabled mid-campaign. I do not wish to maintain a +50% and/or +75% version for this mod. If you feel that there are too many items, you may simply disable this mod.

Acknowledgement: the original Way More Loot mod was created by steam user Milimidget, and was hosted on Steam Workshop. Unfortunately, the original author of the mod discontinued support of his version of the Way More Loot mod while new DLCs for the original were still being released.

After some time, I updated the mod for myself. The update request on Milimidget's original page persisted and I felt I should upload my version of the mod on steam workshop. I tried to contact Milimidget for his approval, using the mod page, steam message services as well as through reddit. However, I've never received an reply, and after some waiting, and some more waiting, I decided to upload my version of the mod on steam workshop.

As TWW2 has a slightly different way to handled the attributes' relationships in the files, I had to largely make Way More Loot for TWW 2 from scratch. I therefore feel it's justified that I will not be pulling this version of the mod off steam if Milimidget, the author of the original Way More Loot mod, wants it off.
