General storage.sav creation info:
VH-LV can not read an existing storage.sav
But it can create a new storage.sav with the items you want.
Those items can be modified before adding them to the storage.
Once a storage.sav it created by VH-LV it can not be re-opened or edited by VH-LV.
VH-LV has 3 Modes when it comes to creating a new storage.sav
1) View selection mode.
This is the default mode when you launch VH-LV were you view items the game has.
2) Add item to storage list mode.
It is accessed by double clicking an item in View selection mode.
This mode is for customizing an item and adding the item to an internal storage list.
After you add an item you are returned back to View selection mode.
You can repeat this until you have all the items you want in the storage list.
The amount of items limited by your items must be able to fit in the 3 pages of the storage.sav
(3 pages x 80 slots = 240 Slots)
3) Create storage from list mode.
It is accessed by right clicking anywhere in the list in View selection mode.
This mode is only available when you have added 1 or more items via Add item to storage list mode.
Here you view or remove what you have in the Storage List and create a new storage.sav with all the items from your list.
After a new storage.sav is created your Storage List is cleared and you'll be returned to View selection mode.
General Shop Forced Items info:
Forced Shop Items.
Forcing a shop to sell an item is just a temporary way for you to get the item you want.
Once you have grabbed the item from the shop you should remove the forced item from the shop in VH-LV.
Forcing multiple of the same type of item does not mean the the shop will have 1 of each forced item.
eg: forcing 7 different capes will not mean the shop will have all 7 capes forced when you visit.
Best is just to force 1 of each type of item, this way you get a better chance of getting the items you want.
In VH-LV forced shop items can be identified in 3 ways.
1) Any group that has a Forced Shop Item active will have (FSI) appended to the name of the group.
eg: Amulets (xx) (FSI)
This would indicate this group of items has 1 or more Forced Shop Items in it.
2) When expanding a group, item names have (F) appended to the end of the name.
eg: (Epic) Amulet of the Veil (F)
This would indicate this item is a Forced Shop Item.
3) When an item is selected you can see yellow words Forced Shop Item after the word Value:
eg: Value: Forced Shop Item
Leaving items forced in shops will probably see you having problems trying to play lan/co-op/mp games.
VH when hosting or joining a game does a crc of the \Cfg\Artifact\ directory and if yours does not match the host or client then you get a Mismatch message and you can't connect to each other.
Even adding non game files to the \Cfg\Artifact\ directory will cause the same.
eg: creating an empty \Cfg\Artifact\New Text Document.txt
This would cause a crc mismatch, so obviously any edited cfg files will cause the same when trying to lan/co-op/mp.
In other words, after you have what you want from the shops then Reset All Shops to Default in VH-LV!
Better yet, use the create storage function instead as it doesn't edit the game config files at all and you can customize items.
With VH-LV window active point at any control and hold F1 on your keyboard.Gives a tooltip with mostly relevant info about the control or what it's for or associated with.
To use: exract VH-LV.exe to your Van Helsing game directory and run it.
(Requires the game files to show the images and info)
