How It Works

  • Increases or reduces the armor value of Helmet, Chest, Leg, and Shoulder (Cape) armor types by the specified percentage
  • Positive values (e.g. 100) increase the armor value
  • Negative values (up to -100) reduce the armor value
  • Edit MainStreetGaming.ArmorModifier.cfg to specify the HelmetModifier, ChestModifier, LegModifier, and CapeModifier values
  • The resulting Armor value will show up in-game when hovering the mouse over the armor item in the players inventory
  • The config settings are enforced by the server

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
