About this mod Machine translation
Developed in c# format, w3mxp modifies the embedded r4game.ws by using the trackbar to update floating point value modifiers.
Finally a digital signature is added to the file.

Rearchive files from 7z to ZIP.
Cometic changes, relocating the percentage labels to the left of the track bar.
My good friend told me that Windows OS may complain about running unsigned applications. I went ahead and digitally signed the user with w3mxp and the Windows OS could trust that the application was not malicious.

w3mxp is used to update the floating point values used in "expGlobalMod_kills" and "expGlobalMod_quests". If w3mxp does not see the following files or the folder where r4games is running normally, the user will be asked to automatically generate the files. Once the file is pre-generated, the user can adjust the XP modifier by sliding the track bar to the desired value. The middle text box can be edited to a custom divisor that will adjust the percentage to increase the XP gain or decrease it. Remember the size of floating point decimal precision = -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+38, which is about 7 decimal digits (meaning your floating point number is probably 10.1234567)
Formula: (TrackValue/100=%)
Example: (38/100 = 0.38%)
If the contract offers 300 XP, setting expGlobalMod_quests to 0.38% (38%) or expGlobalMod_quests = 0.38f will only award 114 XP
Formula: (TrackValue/10=%)
Example: (38/10 = 3.80%)
If the contract offers 300 XP, setting expGlobalMod_quests to 3.80% (380%) or expGlobalMod_quests = 3.80f will only award 1140 XP
As simple as the formula is, the calculation adjusts to you and the file. Select the action, XP Modifier for monsters or quests you want to update. Once you've completed your hit, run Witcher 3 from Steam or GOG. If working properly, Witcher 3 will compile the script and execute it before the game.
TL;DR: The application generates the files needed to run the XP Modifier script. The application updates the percentage calculated in the script based on the tracked value float (middle text box is editable). New users will not be bored with the setup process as the embedded resources within the application will do the work for you, users may be asked to generate the necessary files. When adjusting the modifiers and running the game from Steam, click Apply.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
