PiP: weapons and outfits

Panic in Paradise. Every weapon and outfit piece Naughty can buy has one line in a table: its stats, its price and how much use it takes to level up. PiP’s scripts are plain text, so these are some of the easiest edits in either game.

Where it lives

Container	Script	What’s in it
levelcommon.lu	weapons	Every weapon (94 entries)
levelcommon.lu	accessoriesattribute	Every outfit piece: _Top, _Mid and _Bottom
global.lu	libraryattributes	What each stat code means

One entry

A weapon, exactly as it appears in weapons:

        [--[[HASH:"Machete":0xac32dc3b]]2889014331]           	= {Hidden = false, 	LUName = "Machete",      	Bonus = {md=80},   	ExpLimit = 1500, 	ExpSlot = 357, MenuID = "Machete",     	costNP=18125,  	menuPos = 14,    unlockToken=0},

And an outfit piece from accessoriesattribute:

        [--[[HASH:"TribalPaint_Mid":0xa69d342c]]2795320364]         = {Hidden = false, LUName = "TribalPaint_Mid",        		Bonus = {hp=400,hr=50,sd=200},	ExpLimit = 3000,	ExpSlot = 88, MenuID = "TribalPaint_Mid",         costNP=47000,      	menuPos = 500,  unlockToken=--[[HASH:"TribalPaint_Mid":0xa69d342c]]2795320364, UsableOnlyByHero=false },

Field	Meaning
Bonus	The stats it gives (codes below)
costNP	Price in naughty points
ExpLimit	Use needed to fully level it up
Hidden	true keeps it out of the shop
menuPos	Its place in the shop list
ExpSlot, LUName, MenuID, unlockToken	Save-game and menu IDs. Don’t change these.

Stat codes

From libraryattributes (the game’s own names):

Code	Stat	Used by the game
hp	life	yes
md	melee damage	yes
sd	sanity damage	yes
mr	melee resistance	yes
st	stamina multiplier	yes
hr	health regen multiplier	yes
np	cash multiplier	yes (3 weapons)
rd	ranged damage	no item uses it
rr	ranged resistance	no item uses it
xp	exp multiplier	no item uses it

How to change it

Change a number inside Bonus or costNP and Ship. For example, Bonus = {md=80} → Bonus = {md=120} makes the Machete hit harder. Weapon damage and outfit stat mods have both been tested in-game.

Two rules, both found the hard way:

• Only use codes the game already uses. Adding rr to an outfit hung the game at load, even though rr is listed in libraryattributes. Stick to the “yes” rows above.
• Stay inside the game’s own range. Outfit hp works at 400, the highest value the game uses (Tribal Paint), but the game hangs at 30000. The highest weapon md in the game is 180.

An edit must also fit in the space the original script took up. Changing numbers never runs into this; Ship squeezes out spare whitespace if needed and tells you if an edit is too big.
