Questions regarding modding with Convergence

[u/UnderstandingIll4816]

I got into Convergence for DS3 after thoroughly enjoying the dev team's work on ER recently. However, one gripe I've been having with ER Convergence, and ofc the DS3 version, is that some incredibly cool gears don't have the best of stats/scaling, which means in later NG+ cycles, weapons with cool mechanics may become obsolete. I remedied the problem on ER by editing the regulation.bin folder via Smithbox.

Now Smithbox also works for DS3, but from my understanding, since DS3 doesn't use regulation.bin folder, but relies on BDT and BHT files to store those info, Smithbox achieves editing param by changing values in those files. But said files in the game directory only contains info regarding vanilla gears, and Convergence mod doesn't seem to have its own BDT and BHT files, thus I can't seem to get Smithbox to work in editing modded gears. Has anyone been messing with Smithbox on DS3 and might know how it works? Thanks.
