I'm trying to learn how to do modlets, and I have been fiddling with changing the values some perks gives, below is an example of what I tried, it dosn't work (or I wouldn't post :p ) but editing the files directly does - so clearly my syntax is wrong. Any help?

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configs>
<!-- Change damage for headshots on the perk SkullCrusher-->
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']">
<effect_group>
		<passive_effect name="DamageModifier" operation="perc_add" value="10,40" level="1,4" tags="head"/>
		<passive_effect name="DamageModifier" operation="perc_add" value="50" level="5" tags="head"/>
		<passive_effect name="DismemberChance" operation="base_add" value="0.05,0.15" level="3,5" tags="head"/>
</effect_group>

</set>
 
With SET you need to change a specific value in a specific spot.

Such as:

Code: 
<set xpath="/items/item[@name='meleeHandMaster']/property[@class='Action0']/property[@name='Range']/@value">1.35</set>
Changes Range to 1.35

You will need to separate out your changes and change each one individually rather than lump together like that.

 
So this:

Code: 
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@value=">10,40"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@level=">1,4"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@value=">50"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@level=">5"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DismemberChance']/@value=">0.10,0.5"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DismemberChance']/@level=">1,5"></set>
Would correspond to these lines in the progression.xml ?

Code: 
<passive_effect name="DamageModifier" operation="perc_add" value="10,40" level="1,4" tags="head"/>
<passive_effect name="DamageModifier" operation="perc_add" value="50" level="5" tags="head"/>
<passive_effect name="DismemberChance" operation="base_add" value="0.1,0.5" level="1,5" tags="head"/>
 
So this:

Code: 
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@value=">10,40"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@level=">1,4"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@value=">50"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@level=">5"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DismemberChance']/@value=">0.10,0.5"></set>
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DismemberChance']/@level=">1,5"></set>

Pretty close! :) You are just missing the parent node of "perk" and you had extra >, = and " in there. This should work for you:

Code: 
<set xpath="/progression/perks/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@value">10,40</set>
<set xpath="/progression/perks/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@level">1,4</set>
<set xpath="/progression/perks/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@value">50</set>
<set xpath="/progression/perks/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier']/@level">5</set>
<set xpath="/progression/perks/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DismemberChance']/@value">0.10,0.5</set>
<set xpath="/progression/perks/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DismemberChance']/@level">1,5</set>

Okay, that works - except - not quite. Since there is two different lines, one for level 1-4 and one for 5 - and my code (I'm guessing) dosn't see the difference, then is it possible the code does the first (level 1-4) then writes over that with the level 5 one? I don't see a big difference when testing it - but when I commented out the level 5 one I suddenly saw the changes.

Is it possible to adjust the code so it sees that difference? The original code (in progression.xml) is:

Code: 
<perk name="perkSkullCrusher" parent="skillMeleeCombat" name_key="perkSkullCrusher" desc_key="perkSkullCrusherDesc" icon="ui_game_symbol_skull_crusher">
	<level_requirements level="1"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attStrength" operation="GTE" value="1" desc_key="reqStrengthLevel1"/></level_requirements>
	<level_requirements level="2"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attStrength" operation="GTE" value="3" desc_key="reqStrengthLevel3"/></level_requirements>
	<level_requirements level="3"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attStrength" operation="GTE" value="5" desc_key="reqStrengthLevel5"/></level_requirements>
	<level_requirements level="4"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attStrength" operation="GTE" value="7" desc_key="reqStrengthLevel7"/></level_requirements>
	<level_requirements level="5"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attStrength" operation="GTE" value="10" desc_key="reqStrengthLevel10"/></level_requirements>

	<effect_group>
		<requirement name="HoldingItemHasTags" tags="melee"/>
		<passive_effect name="DamageModifier" operation="perc_add" value="0.25,1" level="1,4" tags="head"/>
		<passive_effect name="DamageModifier" operation="perc_add" value="1.5" level="5" tags="head"/>
		<passive_effect name="DismemberChance" operation="base_add" value="0.05,0.15" level="3,5" tags="head"/>
		<effect_description level="1" desc_key="perkSkullCrusherRank1Desc"/>
		<effect_description level="2" desc_key="perkSkullCrusherRank2Desc"/>
		<effect_description level="3" desc_key="perkSkullCrusherRank3Desc"/>
		<effect_description level="4" desc_key="perkSkullCrusherRank4Desc"/>
		<effect_description level="5" desc_key="perkSkullCrusherRank5Desc"/>
	</effect_group>
</perk>
 
You will want to use additional conditions in order to specify which one you are trying to target.

Such as: (targets it by name and level)

Code: 
<set xpath="/progression/perk[@name='perkSkullCrusher']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='DamageModifier' and @level='1,4']/@vaule=">0,40</set>
You can add multiple conditionals in your 'search' string so you can narrow it down pretty specifically.

Just remember to include each parent element in the code. Perk is a child of perks. ;)
