Dead Space 1 & 2 Mods For PS3

NOTE

Increases Ammo Capacity
This mod only increases the amount of ammo you can carry at one time (Increases Ammo Capacity). This does not give you ammo, You will need to collect the ammo yourself. Only difference after modding is that you will be able to carry alot more than before.

Max Health Increased
Same goes for health. This mod only increases the amount of health you can have, It does not refill or give you the health. You will either need to collect alot of health pack's to fill your new increased health to max, Or buy a new suit which will max out your health straight away. Only difference after modding your health (If health is full) is that you will be able to survive a hell of a long time without the need to refill your health (You still need to refill your health to keep it at max even though it's set at 9999).

HOW TO MANUALLY MOD YOUR BIGFILE0.VIV FOR DEAD SPACE 1 & 2

Ok guy's, Things your going to need are...

DEAD SPACE 1 = BIGFILE0.VIV (From USRDIR folder withing the DS1 For Dead Space 1)
DEAD SPACE 2 = BIGFILE0.VIV (From USRDIR folder withing the DS2 For Dead Space 2)
HxD (Hex editor)
A way of replacing the BIGFILE.VIV on your PS3 HDD.

Now all you need to do is locate & edit the value's of every gun so that they're maxed out.

Let's start.

Open up your BIGFILE.VIV in HxD & search for um:BaseValue, The Offset for Dead space 2 should be around 0001E140, & The Offset for Dead space 1 should be around 00021840. Now on the right of the Hex editor should be your weapons with they're value's with things like range, speed, capacity, ect. All you need to do is change those value's with the one's listed below.

You can change capacity from 6 to 99 and damage the same way, so an example is Plasma Cutter Capacity

old value um:BaseValue("PlasmaCutter", "Capacity", 10)
new value um:BaseValue("PlasmaCutter", "Capacity",999)

Here are the max value's for each gun & you rig.

+ Much more

[Omnomnom]

Very nice, thanks for this. I can enjoy NG+ this way.

[KeithPs3]

Yes , Going to try this , great post was trying to find a way to mod this myself

[STRATEGIZER]

Glad you like guy's ! I would upload my BIGFILE.VIV but its like 3.5GB in size & it would take me like 3 day's to upload it lol. Anyway, It's pretty straight forward if you have use HxD before.

Enjoy.

[Omnomnom]

All done, working like a charm. Quite easily done for those of you not familiar with HxD, once you're in the right offset, just search for BaseValue, over and over again, and what you need to modify is a few bytes over each time you search.

[Satanicat]

Perfect!! Was going to return this game but maybe now I'll watch the story.
Thanks!

PPF patch or something of the sort would be good as well as small in file size for things like this.

Ikr, Iv tried the 360 tool but it give's error's & mod's the value's wrong by giving all weapon's 0 ammo.

Iv sent RIPPERD a message explaining how its modded, Hopefully he can make a tool that write's to the offset's making it easier for most people.

[Omnomnom]

I've got a working patch, I'll upload it shortly.

Edit - http://www.mediafire.com/?58ljasmjlcl7a3u

Credit to me for the patch obviously.
