Ok so I have had a few requests on how to mod Dead Space 1 similar to my Dead Space 2 mod. The steps are basically the same but the values are slightly different.
For a tutorial on how to extract your bigfile0.viv file from the iso as well as the tools you will need to extract it follow Bullet's TUT here
Ok so lets begin.
Dead Space 1 modding damage, ammo capacity, invincible ect .
open bigfile0.viv in hex editor
search for text value "um:BaseValue"
your second result should give you something similar to
Old: um:BaseValue("PlasmaCutter", "Capacity", 10
New: um:BaseValue("PlasmaCutter", "Capacity",999
keep scrolling and you will see Upgrade values
Old: um:UpgradeValue("PlasmaCutter", "Capacity", 2
New: um:UpgradeValue("PlasmaCutter", "Capacity",99
then comes damage
Old: um:BaseValue("PlasmaCutter", "Damage", 10
New: um:BaseValue("PlasmaCutter", "Damage",999
Your last value will be
(KinesisModule", "Range3", 4)
change it to 99 and you should be all set.
next to each will be things like range, speed, capacity, ect. You can change capacity from 6 to 99 and damage the same way
some other examples with different max character spaces
two maxable spaces
old um:BaseValue("PlasmaCutter", "Reload", 1)
new um:BaseValue("PlasmaCutter", "Reload",99)
four maxable spaces
old um:BaseValue("ContactBeam", "Damage", 200)
new um:BaseValue("ContactBeam", "Damage",9999)
a couple of key edits for me that didn't go to 99 but down to 1 or .1
um:BaseValue("LineGun", "Duration", 5)
um:BaseValue("LineGun", "Duration", 1)
um:BaseValue("LineGun", "Width", 1)
um:BaseValue("LineGun", "Width",30) if you go to 99 it will fill the entire screen
left original charge time but changed upgrades from .2 to .9
um:BaseValue("ContactBeam", "Charge", 1
um:UpgradeValue("ContactBeam", "Charge", -.9)
as soon as you max your RIG to 9999 and stasis to 999 and you kinessis range to 999 this makes you nearly invincible and you can grab objects at really far distances and stasis monsters for a very long time.
me personally i didnt take out or add any spaces. if there were 4 spaces but 1 was blank i highlighted and changed all 4 spaces to 9's. this kept the file size the exact same for me so that you shouldn't have any problems when you need to reinsert the file back into the iso.
If health is low find a store and change your suit and health should go to max.
