    Default Some DB tables can't be exported or modded?

    There are some tables that can be edited in Tweak but can't be exported. Specifically, when I change ancillary_trigger_effects and then go to export it as a table, it does not show up in the edited table list in the export window. Also, that table (and others) don't show up in PFM when examining the vanilla data.pack. Are there some tables that just aren't modable?

    Thanks,

    There are some files the data of which will be put into some other files when you export (ie there is no 1:1 mapping between the xml files and the db/... files in the pack), so that might be the issue.
    Have you tried using PFM's Minimize feature? That should only leave the data you changed.

    Well the problem is I can't export that table at all. If you make a change to the Chance column of the ancillary_trigger_effects table I can't export the table. It is not listed as an edited table to export. In fact, it is not listed as a table in the export list at all (edited or not). Even in BOB in the raw Data table list, that table (and some others) are grayed out and unselectable. If there is a way to make a change to that table and create a mod for it, I would love to hear the steps to do so because no matter what I try, it refuses to go into a pack file.

    Thanks

    I have run into a similar issue. I am attempting to adjust the public order effect generated by corruption, and I came across a file listed by DaVE that looked promising. It was easy enough to edit, and in fact TWeak still has a record of the change I made. However, I cannot find the file when I attempt to export a single directory. I attempted to export the changed to binary, and received a message that the changes were exported successfully. Yet, when I close TWeak, I receive a prompt regarding locally edited tables, and a reminder that the changes will need to be submitted. In BoB, I can find the file I edited, however it is greyed out.
