Description:

As I have been learning more and more about writing patch operations, I got to thinking there has to be a better way to handle Combat Extended patches for all the various race mods out there. And with one free evening to spare, I put together a little something to allow all installed race to work with CE.

Who should use this patch?

This patch is meant for:

  1. People who use Combat Extended and also use races (or want to use races) that do not have a CE patch, or the CE patch has gone outdated.
  2. People who use a lot of races and can’t be bothered to check whether all their races are CE compatible or not. This universal patch will only apply to races which are not yet patched.

This mod was mainly just an experiment and will probably only find a home with those with less common mod configurations. Hopefully a few people find it helpful!

What’s the catch?

A custom CE patch is still better than a universal patch. So you should use those if they are available. There are two differences between this universal patch and a custom patch:

  1. A custom patch may define a race as being especially good at dodging, parrying, or critical strikes, whereas this defines them as being baseline to humans.
  2. Some custom CE patches tweak unarmed attack power slightly. However this generally amounts to less than a 15% difference compared to their unpatched stats.
  3. This only patches the race. Some races include secondary content such as factions and equipment, which tend to need CE patching as well. I am looking into a universal faction patch too.

You may consider that if a race is meant to have the same dodge/parry/crit stats as a human, then this mod may as well be nearly identical to a custom patch.

Note that when a race is run without CE support in a CE game, aside from producing console errors, their combat prowess will be seriously hindered due to undefined stats.
