Your first mod

A small change you can make in a few minutes, check, and undo: give one hat in Naughty Bear more health. It uses the same steps as any other script mod.

You need your game files first (Getting your game files). The button names below are from the app’s README.

1. Open the game folder

Start Seam Ripper and pick your game folder, the one with lu inside it, at the top left.

2. Find the script

Open the Files page, pick the container naughtybear.lu, and open the script naughtybearhatbonus. This is the script that sets each hat’s health and damage. Naughty’s hats explains what is in it.

3. Change a number

Find the Adept hat:

  elseif hashName == --[[TEXT:"Hat: Adept Naughty"]]0x64b5d953 then
    characterComponent:SetBaseHitPoints(250)
    characterComponent:SetRemainingHitPoints(250)

Change both 250s to 400. Keep them the same, and write whole numbers without a decimal point.

Press Check. It tells you whether the script still compiles.

4. Ship it

Open the Changes page. Your edit is listed there. Press Ship. Seam Ripper lists the other containers that hold the same script. Leave them ticked, or the game may use another copy and your change will do nothing.

Seam Ripper backs up each file before it writes it.

5. Try it

Play with the Adept hat on. How you play depends on the game: see Playing modded games.

6. Undo it

Open the History page. Every file Seam Ripper changed is listed. Undo this one, or put everything back to retail.
