why did u upload it to megashare. 90% f the time they are unavailable to free users. what's wrong with rapidshare.com?

but thanks for this.
how did u edit the files? what program did u use? notepad or anything else?
personally i wanna make my own changes to the game for my own use and i wanna learn from your files what to change. any tips?

i wish there would be a way to make more powerful plasmids available in the first levels. if i play bioshock the second tim earuond i would like to start where "i left off after finishing the 1st time" (with more plasmids and slots) so i can toy around and have the fun i couldnt have originally.
if there was an option to buy every plasmid in every gtherer in the game (even the early ones) than that could be really cool.

u think that's possible?

I noticed that there was a certain $ chance of not getting a first aid kit from destroying the things, I changed it to 100%.

Here is the download also at rapidshare.

Go to you Bioshock/content folder.

Rename Localizedint.lbf to Localizedint.lbf.bak

Rename ConfigINI.IBF to ConfigINI.IBF.bak

Copy the "system" folder in your bioshock/content into somewhere safe.
(I SAID COPY, DONT MOVE IT, if you do then the game won't work)

Now drag the "system" folder from the difficulty mod into your bioshock/content folder and click yes to all.

Done. Now would you kindly start a new game. Choose any difficulty you want, I would recommend hard mode though.

The game is still too easy...

[Brazuca]

Come on, they need to add the option to edit your post... I mistakenly pressed enter!

The game is still pretty easy, due to the massive amount of resources that is already put in the maps. Mainly healthkits and evehypos.

Heres somethings I wish I could do or might do if I come up with a new patch.

1) Breaking "Medical Stations" won't give you health kits.

2) U-invent requires 3x more resources.

3) Health kits heal only half.

4) Plasmids waste 2x more eve. Telekenisis wastes 5x.

5) Exploding "Barrels and Tanks" do 2x less damage.

6) Vita-chambers cost $50.

7) Everything becomes is 2x harder or more to hack.

The only actually problem with difficulty I find with Bioshock is the abundant amount of reasources, telekenisis is overpowered and theres no penalty for dying.
