As a programmer, I appreciate the in depth explanation.

Based on the table you shared, it makes sense that the manip would not work on this mod.  I had previously tried the 54 cancel manip a couple dozen times (while also adding in some variation for 53,55,56, etc) but was not having any luck.  But I was getting Hi-Potion+ most often.  So if I'm understanding, then getting a Hi-Potion+ on this mod would likely mean I was executing the 54 manip "correctly" based on the vanilla game reward table.  But then due to the reward table position changing for this mod, the number of cancels would have to be something different for a manip to work, but I think its better to leave that number a mystery

Honestly I'd rather not be using a manip at all for this, was only using it as a test to see if the item existed on the reward table.  It feels more rewarding to have to earn such a powerful optional item early in the game.  Thanks again for the information.

Does anyone know if Rosetta Stone can still drop from 200g card player in disc 2 prison in this mod (2019 steam) (lionheart mode), or was that changed/removed?  If it does still drop, then would the normal manip from vanilla game using ~54 duel cancels still work on this mod?  I have tried both farming and manip with no luck, and want to make sure it is still possible to drop on this mod before I go back to play hundreds of card games.  I know you can get Rosetta Stone later in the game, but obtaining 3 of them here in disc 2 is just something I usually like to do.

I know the manip says you must use Enc-None, which doesn't seem necessary since I can reach the cell with no encounters, but maybe using Enc-None is required because it effects RNG?  And in this mod there is only Enc-Half available currently.  Maybe this could explain why manip does not seem to work.

On a good note I have enjoyed disc 1 so far on lionheart mode.  Ended up being easier than I expected so far, but probably because I over prepared for most things in disc 1 due to expecting it to be harder.  Killed X-ATM.  Character levels were in 25-28 at end of disc 1.

Thank you for the quick reply.  I was able to install and play your mod now on 1.0.3 using the zzzDeArchive

It looks like there was another update on steam (for 2019 version) to version 1.0.3 on Feb 2nd.  I have tried to install the mod today but it crashes on launch now.  Based on some other reading, I think the crash could be caused by the new steam update.  I am able to launch vanilla game fine, only crashes after installing mods.  I tried repeating the install several times from a clean steam download, but same result.

I have played this mod before on standard mode in the past.  Was looking to come back and try Lionheart mode.  Might have to patiently wait for the creator to update the mod for compatibility with the new steam patch.  Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this mod
