Hey, I'm been trying to create a custom difficulty for myself for the past couple of hour or so and its just not been working. What i'm trying to do is get expert level difficulty without having to worry about not killing anyone. i'm also trying to make the Ai's Health and Garretts to a realistic level. This all good but my edits don't seem to be doing anything. At first i thought it was because i used an existing saved game, so i made a new game, still hasn't applied my edits, So i downloaded the 1.1 patch thinking that would fix it, nope, So i edited every diff to the exact same values, still hasn't worked. I'm at wits end here. What am i doing wrong?
P.S. I know this most definently the wrong place to pose a question like this, but i'm going mad here and i don't know what else to do

Hey did you end up finding anything?

Hi Maxpaynejr.
I don't know what you did to change these settings, but this is what i did:
I modified the T3Gamesys.t3u file using a hex editor (i use 010 Editor). In the tweak guide you can read how to change all kinds of settings.
I hope that i remember this correctly, so make a backup, but for the no kill objectives i think i went to line "1:8900h:" and changed the values of column 0 to 3 to "FF FF FF FF". This removed the no kill objective in expert mode. More settings can be found here: (

I hope i didn't misunderstood your question, if i did just ignore this.
Skyclad.

hey this is somewhat unrelated but how does difficulty work in the City, does it have its own difficulty or something
Skyclad on 11/10/2009 at 01:55
I believe i've read somewhere that the difficulty in the city is allways reset to normal. I use thiefbot to make my own settings, you could use it to force the city difficulty settings to expert.

hmm i'm trying the thiefbot right now, and i don't think its working, i'm saving the hitpoints to 0.1000 and guards are still taking 3 arrows. weird

Without the official patch, the difficulty will reset to normal. With the patch, and especially if the gamefile tweaks are working, the difficulty shouldn't be an issue.

I have 1.1
EDIT: okay before i start blaming the game, is this right, im using thief bot right now, Thief DS is running and i make my own difficulty settings and save them to the registry? or do i load them from the registry? and is the difficulty changes applied instantly or do i have to enter a new zone or something?

I can't answer all those, but I'll let you know that difficulty cannot be changed during gameplay, but only between maps. Someone may correct me but it might only be allowed between missions, before starting one.
