SMW Orb: Disable Timer Countdown for episode (How to override this setting)

SMW Orb is NPC 354, I have examined its file and found there are configurable settings for disabling it. If I alter the base files by simply changing true to false on doTimerCountdown, I get exactly what I want.

But I am a little inexperienced, because if I try to copy the lua file to my episode folder, there is a crash.

How exactly can I get this setting to operate in my folder?

It's very easy in its default directory but something about it makes copy+paste npc-354.lua not really work, and I can't fully understand why

This is a NPC config variable.
https://docs.codehaus.moe/#/features/np ... ds-353-354

NPC config variables can be edited using npc-354.txt in your level or episode folder.

Contents of npc-354.txt:

Code: Select all

dotimercountdown=false
Copypasting basegame npc lua files is never the solution.*

* The only instance in which it might be useful is if you wanna use them as a base for a custom range NPC. So, copy over and rename to npc-751.lua. But that's off-topic.
