Does this also download melonloader? Or do I need to download that seperately?

unfortunate but it wont let me select humiliate now

The fix that @Gandalf the Whey stated worked for me, thanks

Bug report: If you go for the kill on a "near-death" cultivator from dialogue and succeed, you don't trigger this effect.

For those who said didn't work, it's because you deleted version.dll which effectively disabled melonloader
To re-enable, restore the version.dll and do this
1. Close steam
2. Go to <steam>/steamlib/steamapps
3. Open file appmanifest_1468810.acf with text editor
4. Rename "installdir" "????" to "installdir" "TOI"
5. Go to <steam>/steamlib/steamapps/common and rename game forlder ???? to TOI

update the mod please

My MelonPreferences.cfg file is blank, am I doing things wrong ?
Did the way of configuring the mod change with the 1.0 ?
I installed MelonLoader version 0.5.7

Do NPCs also drain stats when they win fights? Or is it PC only?

This mod is great, but it's far too overpowered at base strength, so it's great we can adjust it in the configs
I tweaked it to reduce drain to 3% for kill and 1% for humiliation on most base stats, 5%/2% for daos with a minimum gain of 0 rather than 1, and disabled artisan skill drain because I see that as something that can't be stolen so easily
That makes it much more work to become an unstoppable cultivator who can kill people three realms above you just by farming weak cultivators, and encourages you to seek out cultivators of decent strength to steal their souls, which seems much more appropriate imo

Can we have a mod where you have instead only lifespan drain?

GASP! you monster!!! perfect for evil style players though :O!

where is options ?

So i had the issue where it wasnt allowing me to kill. When inspecting the melonloader console it also said 0 mods installed despite mod showing up in in game. removing and re-adding didnt work but copying the mod from the mod folder to the mods folder fixed the issue. It now shows up in melon console and game doesnt prevent me from killingpeople.

I found the issue Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable 64 Bit for 64 bit games. needs to be downloaded as well in order for some modes to work

nah for me updating melon loader doesnt work I also get blocked out of killing or humiliating people I attack

Does this mod conflict with Cheat Menu?

wow got it to work..... really!!! Thats only reason why everything went fuckey. Thank you @Slayer

For anyone with softlock(Not being able to kill) problem, just update your melon loader. As of today the current version is: v0.5.7 Open-Beta

I have the same problem where I get softlocked and can't kill or humiliate odd maybe something to do with the update ?

Thats pretty similar to mine so i dunno what it could be I'll give it another go and get back to you

@-Banchō Øni-, maybe some mod conflicts
Mods im using, no conflicts detected:
YourSoulIsMine
More stats from fruits and manuals
Auction every 6 month
Less XP to upgrade Artifact Spirit
Double ring capacity
Alchemy output
Free interactions
Sect tournament every year
City tournament every year
Less cooldown for battle items
Sect tasks enhanced
Drop rate increase
Skill upgrade exp decreased
UIFramework
Team up with NPC
Farm mod
Sect Admin
Farm mod translation

I pressed kill and the game soft locked, I couldn't humiliate or kill, it only let me just let him go.

I found out how to get it fixed.

@[Hero] do as I said below. Manually install melonloader and then reinstall the mod

@[Hero] still working for me, check melonloader or other mods

thanks it very fun

For those with the samed problem, it was due to the version file which was bugged in recent updates. After deleting it, resintall melon loader and voilá, working again! :D

I can't seem to make MelonPreferences not be blank. I've already changed the install folder so there are no chinese characters and subscribed and unsubscribed quite a number of times, including inside the game itself and in the workshop. Also tried to manually add the lines hvits3rk mentioned in a previous post, however the option to kill and humiliate were both 'blocked'. Anyone has any ideas how to make the mod work as intended?

Tag it as English so it's easier to find, please!
Really great mod! Could also add an option to place a permanent 50% stats debuff or something so it adds a new kind of playthrough (you don't just kill a few and becomes invincible, it's harder to kill people but also much more rewarding)

If you are having the same problem as me unsubscribe then subscribe again that will fix the issue

The pop up isn't appearing again and I am getting no stats either, the preferences are still there Any ideas on how to fix this

It is the same fix for the use of all mods. Renaming the game file as well as renaming the install directory command in the appmanifest file. That was the first fix to get the mod to load and for the melon preferences to not be blank. And then for the recent issues some of us have been facing, I deduce to either be mod conflicts. This could be added NPCs that wont proc the stat drain or even just coding conflicts when facing higher realm NPCs. The fix for that was to ensure that you initiate fights in order to drain, and then an added step was to ensure the percentages in preferences being drained were low enough to not cause number generation issues. This was helpful for me as I was fighting mod-added NPCs and 9 and 10th Realm masters that wouldnt let me stat drain. Their stats were insanely high so draining them didnt work unless I lowered the percentages.

@rakrodus, ok, added check if harmony patch applied, should fix multiple procs.

had an issue where this mod wasn't recognised in the ingame mod list but unsubscribing then subscribing again got it recognised ingame again, just need to figure out why I'm getting multiple procs on kills

@AcuraIntegurl Could you share that fix?

Also if anyone needs help getting the mod to activate and preferences to work, let me know. I know a good fix that the developers sent out.

Used to work really well, but since today my stats havent been increasing nor any pop up occur. Most of my stats have already been maxed out, but there are still plenty of room for other stats im sure. Perhaps a config file where we can adjust the upper limits of what can be absorbed would help. Hope the fix happens soon, because even with maxed out stats i'm getting curb stomped by heaven chosen NPC lmfao

Am i supposed to be not getting a pop up, I do get the stats and the preferences are there but i don't seem top be getting a pop up

For some reason it doesn't seem to work for me.
I entered game, killed someone and didn't get the popup

Also, I am not sure if it works as intended, but when other cultivators attack me, and I kill them, stats don't increase. When I attack other cultivators, it works but if they attack me first, then it does not.

@4riJay indeed very strange, i tried fully uninstall game and use only this mod and everything works.

Ok, I don't know how, but the issue with empty MelonPreferences.cfg was resolved. It seems like while I had only this mod installed, MelonLoader was not starting before and therefor it did not write stuff into config file. I installed other mods from @hvits3rk, like Free Interactions and Alchemy output and when I started TOI, there was different kind of loading (I guess that was MelonLoader) and after that I checked config file and there was finally stuff even for this mod written in it. Weird, but at least its ok now.

Hi, I have same problem that @AcuraIntegurl that my melon preferences.cfg are empty. I did unsubscribed and resubscribed multiple times, changed installdir in appmanifest, reinstalled the game, but the melon config file is still empty. In game it says that mod is loaded, but there is nothing to show me any stat increases.

i just tried to overwrite the melon loader with the 0.5.4.0 version and i got a new error message this time:

i guess i'm stuck using the old melon version due to the localization mod i need to play the game. awesome mod anyway.

I'm having the same issue as Acura, I have other mods but I've disabled them and unsubscribed then resubscribed as well as deleted the mod folder to reinstall but the mod doesn't appear to be writing anything into MelonPreferences.cfg.

@ghost cat, im using melon loader that is provided by developer of TOI, you are right TOI is using melon loader 0.5.4

so i think your require melon loader 0.5.4.0 ? i saw the dependency version in the dll

i'm using MelonLoader v0.4.0 open-beta, does your mod require certain melonloader version?
