It's not really possible to do this without 'patching', because the change to common.lvl is what gives the functionality to read in more data to fix things up.
I think it may be possible to minimize the patch to just get those things you listed. You would need to install the patch following the instructions and then delete the following:
0/addme.script
0/patch_scripts/patch_shell.lvl
0/patch_scripts/patch_paths.lvl (You may need to keep this one)
v1.3patch_strings.lvl
0/hud-options/
0/load-options/
0/movies/
0/in-game-options/<options you don't want>
After making these changes, you'd need to re-run the 'run_after_making_changes.bat' from the addon2 folder. This is untested, but may work.
But why are you concerned about not 'adding mod support'?
Not really concerned about the modding support, im just not into modding the game but i think the fixes this patch has are great for the CC, i only wanted the fixes to get the CC in the best playable state possible.
Ill try to minimize the patch as u said and ill report here if i encounter any problems, thanks.
I was checking the scripts to apply the patch over "common.lvl" and in windows u can use "certutil" to check the md5 hash of the file to see if its modified or not (i was trying to merge "Apply_patch.bat & run_after_making_changes_windows.bat"), i guess that will not work trough Bottles/Wine because "certutil" only comes with windows, maybe something like a golang script could help (one self-contained executable for windows that u can run trough bottles that does the md5 hash verification of "common.lvl" and after that calls "LVLTool.exe", maybe the same can be done for "run_after_makingchanges*")
If you follow the instructions, the file will have been modified. Your common.lvl should be placed in that specially named folder and if you see common.lvl appear along side the 'Apply_Patch.bat' then it should be assumed to work (because LVLTool would have been the program to have placed it there). If you wanted to verify that it had been modified on your Steamdeck there are many ways to do that, the diff command probably is the easiest.
There is a way for me to only install the fixes for CC?? The ones im trying to install are:
-Han solo fixes -Snail tank treads fixes -Hero voices when entering/exiting the Battlefield -Keep heroes out of turrets
