yep!
but this method is messy
killable children is hardcoded with AGE parameter
so if you change age for all children's to > 18 then they will be killable and they no more will be children...
so you _probably_ ( I never tested!! :D ) have sex with them

you may use GDB editor
you need to edit globals.gdb file
the main children offset is: 101BF01F
you need AgeComponent, change Age to > 18 or to 0 (then they will be month-old baby, killable baby)

or use HEX-editor, go to 0019176C offset and change A value to > 12 (hex) or to 0
this offsets for latest DLC

also, this effects only for new children's, not to already exist

Thanks, can you send me the link to the GBD editor? Keshire hasn't uploaded it yet.

Btw, i'm still learning how to hex edit so i am a bit confused. I only have the offset 00191760 not 0019176C does the C represent something?

Thanks.

00191760 offset represent line that contents 15 numbers

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

so you need: C
smart HEX-editor show selected offset in status bar
also simple use GO TO function

It's probably used in one of the combat targeting scripts too. So hitting up the GDB would be kind of a workaround.

Thanks.
But i can't manage to open a .gdb file with the editor for some reason.

Also, if i create a new game i assume all the children will be killable, right?

EDIT: Once i finish editing the gdb how do i import it into levels.bnk?

hmmm, maybe
but I think it something more than external script function
I mean, children's, they are like not exist for combat, AI just ignore them, they are completely not hittable, like they are fucking immortal gods...
so I think it something in game engine itself
also, I remember when I experimenting with them, I change some "targetable" component or something and sometime enemy can hit them with area magic cast, but they not die

levels.bnk?
you are using globals.gdb from original game?
if so, then those offsets is not correct

to import modded files to game use timeslip xlive remover
Keshire already write how to

Can someone help me?
I have one problem with these ways to make children killable.
I don´t have a "Globals.GDB" file in my Fable III game. I have, in "Fable III/data/Globals (folder)/ "Globals_models.bnk" and "Globals_textures.bnk". What should i do? I have to open one of those files to modify the age thing? I can only open the 1st file with Programmer Studio and inside there's nothing like the offset's you are giving here...
Can someone explain me what to do...?

Hi! Can someone please explain me, step-by-step, and with all details, how to make children killable?
What programs to use? How to use them? Which archives i have to modify and how to do it, etc.?
I would REALLY appreciate if someone could help me with this... the file Globals.lua doesn´t exist in my game directory. There exist 2 files called "globals_textures.bnk" and "globals_models.bnk"...

use BlackDemon's BNK Utils to extract "Globals.GDB" from .bnk file (I don't remember which one, streaming.bnk or levels.bnk)
BUT if you use DLC, extract it from dlc2free.bnk (Traitors Keep) or dlc_freeforall.bnk (Understone)
after modifying you need to pack it again
better to separate DLC folder, but you can replace original

SIMPLE WAY is use some mod that modifying "Globals.GDB" like this one
just extract, mod Globals.GDB and pack it back

So I pulled everything out from the Traitor's Keep DLC and found the globals.gdb file.
Opening it with the GDB Editor and running Arto's offset through it I found the AgeComponent variable, but it looks like this: B3688653

It says in a HEX conversion table that 19 is written as 13, but I don't quite get how to run that through using the format Fable 3 uses.
Would it be so simple as editing it to read 00000013?

Ah, that's what it was. I forgot to check the "Extrapolate Parent and Child" box.
Thanks again, Arto.

After six years since last discussion I've uploaded to the Nexus a copy anyone can install if they want it. I also have more extensive mods which integrate this (under the radar of course).https://www.nexusmods.com/fableIII/mods/7?tab=description
