I have been trying to alter the sleep script in The Bare Necessities mod for some time now. It should all be very simple, but I cannot get it into effect. All I am trying to do is alter the light sleep penalty from every 8 hours, to every 12 hours. This way I don't basically have a constant debuff.

This is the relevant part of the script:

FATIGUE SCRIPT
; when player is awake
if ( GetPCSleep != 1 )

; set the hour
if ( TimerSet != 1 )
set GameHourLocal to GameHour
set TimerSet to 1
endif

; count hours passed since recorded time
set HoursPassed to ( GameHour - GameHourLocal )

; if midnight passes, GameHour will become zero, time passed will become negative. Adds 24 to correct.
if ( HoursPassed < 0 )
set HoursPassed to ( HoursPassed + 24 )
endif

; if more than 8 hours passed since GameHour set, adds 1 to tired global and applies penalties
if ( HoursPassed >= 8 )
set BN_TiredGlobal to ( BN_TiredGlobal + 1 )
set BN_TiredPenaltyApply to 1
set TimerSet to 0
endif
endif

I changed it from 8 to 12 in the script. Yet when I go ingame, it's every 8 hours...

Am i missing something?

It still says 8 in the script here...

Right, well I copy/pasted the original code. Rest assured it says 12 in the mod I currently have installed

zip the whole .esp you changed (not the original) , post a link for it, and possibly move the thread to the CS forum

Will do

Okay, I have uploaded it but I cannot post links.

www filedropper com / barenecessitiesalteredscript_1 (add dots and remove spaces)

...Also, I don't think I can move the thread on my own.

Sorry about the doublepost. I meant to edit the last one

You can PM a moderator to move the thread, but maybe it is easier for author to stumble here as I think only author has scripts logic fully clear


I see no evident problems with your minimal script change, I tried https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bywrx4WHfGJJTGFjanh2OXhaOEk all the scripts in MWEdit just in case.

I'd try the "Toggle Needs", "Reset Needs" in game configuration options first, and see what happens.

If it still does not work after "Toggle Needs" off , "Reset Needs", "Toggle Needs" on, try the "Uninstall" option, save game,
remove the mod from loading list, load, save (and eventually clean the save), re-add the mod to loading list, load and see what happens.

No other ideas, sorry

[EDIT]note that mod is not MWEdit strong syntax checking compliant as it uses e.g. );comment instead of ) ; comment, so it's difficult to automatically check for possible bad spacing (e.g. >=2 instead of >= 2 ) problems

I will try those suggestions. Thanks for the help, Abot.
