DS1 Legendary Mod for DS2 Beta Thread

Ehb final notes. If you move the party too slowly onto the last platform part of the party can be left behind as the platform does not auto-mirror like the others.

The shrines at the begining of the Crypts have a glitch. For the Health shrine have the using party member with the correct skills stand facing very close to the shrine slightly to the left. For the Mana shrine stand slightly to the right but not as close, if you are too close you can hear the potions drop but they do NOT appear

Rampaging into Yesterhaven now, continuing a multi-map campaign. tho I am not as speedy as a certain rampaging Elf( looking over my shoulder to avoid getting run over...again... :silly: :goofy: )

This shrine might look better moved to one side and the three spiders and the party on rampage ignored each other...at least until I thumped them :twisted:

Which folder shall I post? Next to the resources I have dev, docs, system and maps. An error actually does not occur. I can't even see or open the maps if I choose my character I come directly to the screen where I can choose the difficulty.

I do have a free space of almost one TB so that's not the problem. The Allsave File actually even worked with my version. I tryed to download the patch on three different websites now but the result is always the same.

@Nischara: acccording to your screen-shot there's a file called 'expansion_ds1.ds2res' in your resource folder, this may be the 'wrong' file copied from the LoA addon!(?)
Simply remove it once, because it seems you already have the required file, with the name 'ds1_expansion.ds2res' however (this should be the map from LoA).

This does not directly explain though why you can't access custom maps, however the content of this large/wrong file will cause several errors with different side-effects.

 
By the way, looking at the file sizes 'ExpVoices_DS1.ds2res' and 'DS1_ExpVoices.ds2res' are most probably the same, one of them you could remove (I think which one shouldn't matter).

KillerGremal is right that those extra files aren't required either and I believe Expansion_ds1.ds2res is the reason your having difficulties in loading the maps as that contains assets that will conflict with your DS2 game. Expansion_DS1.ds2res is 365Mb in size and contains logic files and gui art that won't work in DS2 and its probably amazing that DS2 itself will load.

DS1_Expansion.ds2res is completely different and is the original Legends of Aranna map and is only required as a sort of copy protection to ensure users own the original Legends of Aranna map.

If removing Expansion_DS1.ds2res doesn't work then please post a pic of the Dungeon Siege 2 folder where resources, maps folders etc are located.

So I just got through Wesrin without a single issue.. Difficulty is dead on without Aranna Legacy in. However, I noticed that a few times I tried using my powers and they didn't work, it would just waste the power and do nothing :/ Alas, the game ran smoothly enough, and this was on my laptop

The strange thing is that the official description of the version 2.2 patch (at least what's on Gamefront) is that it is suppose to work with either version 2.0 (retail boxed version) or version 2.1.

So it would appear that description is incorrect and it will only work on version 2.0. I admit that I've never upgraded DS2 to version 2.1, I've always applied the version 2.2 to a fresh install of the retail version 2.0. So it's an extreme measure but maybe Nischara will have to try that as well.

Here's minor updates to Kingdom of Ehb and Yesterhaven incorporating fixes to several issues bought up in the last couple of days.

http://www.siegetheday.org/~iryan/files/Betav30a/DS1_Map_Yesterhaven_Beta30a.ds2res

The only thing not fixed in KOE is the mana and health fountains at the beginning of the crypts. I've placed use points for them, which work and also drop points, which don't appear to work.

I noticed no issues with unaggressive Krug on the way to the Crypts except for two that appeared as conjoined twins almost. That was caused by misaligned patrol route points, which should now be fixed. The lever for the bridge was there but is unusable until you activate it as designed and then it's usable and the bridge can be repaired.

I've placed gather points on the last platform on the way to Gom but haven't tested it so can't guarantee that it will work.

If the updates to KoE and Yesterhaven are underground should they not be called Miner updates giggle giggle

I have had the same problem but before I ever found this site. It occurs occasionally in DS2 but is much more pronounced in BW. The one I hate the most is when Thunderous shot goes on a 90 degree of course such as straight up

Arhok,Ehb, and wtf.

Continuing my multi-map campaign into LoA. Arhok Radar Map is fixed, but there seem to only be 4 start points.

as for Ehb. The Shrines in the Crypts of Blood do not work in beta30d. In earlier versions they work as shown

If you stand in just the right spot you get a drop. now back to 30d.

we have a double wolf :roll:

The Shrack attack just fine but at this point labels did not show, including the potion marker.

A quest end save point but no quest

No Icon in the upper left corner, this time with Marik so the problem must be with this specific conversation point.

And now for the :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:

While the melee type of wraiths are fine, Ranged missile attacks would NOT!!! affect the Wraith Archer or the Wraith Mages, only the Powers worked :bat:

I believe there's still some issues with the Level Adjustment mod when resistances are calculated. Even at Elite level Wraiths and Skeletons should only have 30% resistance to melee and ranged, which means 70% of damage should still get through.

I am very reluctant to abandon resistances altogether as I believe it adds a lot to the character of the different monsters.

Don't know why the shrines suddenly stopped working in beta30, I never changed anything that effects them to my knowledge.

Sometimes monsters bump into each other and get stuck, especially when they are following patrol routes like these wolves are. This is exactly like the Krug that bare_elf reported a little earlier. In DS2 GPG abandoned the use of patrol routes implemented in the DS1 fashion though they still obviously can work and instead use flicks to control patrol routes.

The save prompt and quest end is another byproduct of a DS1 command that is no longer used in the same manner in DS2. It's just an autosave command which is meant to be used through flick in DS2. The reference to a quest is irrelevant. In any case I've now removed the trigger and autosave.

There is a peculiarity in that cave which effects all of the icons in the banters. Not sure why but perhaps it's because there was a NIS and text just before it.

As for the Wraiths, please see my preceding post.

clarification on Wraith Archer and Wraith Mage. They were NOT resisting missiles, the arrows where sticking into the ground UNDER them Straight line attack ranged powers like Thunderous Shot worked fine, check the screenshots and look below the wraiths. My Melee heavy party had no trouble

@Iryan: Perhaps the Wraith Archer+Mage have no kill_bone assigned (in body:bone_translator) or a bad one may be defined?
Without this bone-assignment attacks are directed towards the (logical) ground point (on sigofmugmort's screen-shot it looks like this) - but there is nothing that really can collied with the player's hit since this type of monster is hovering above ground.

Similar things may happen with thin urns without kill-bone and if placed slightly below or on craggy ground - melee attacks often don't work and arrows hit the ground before triggering an object collision.

Sorry I've not been very active here lately, I'm babysitting a whole lot more lol. I gotta wait a bit to get back to my addiction :P

It also includes the changes to the skeletons in Wesrin Cross so they aren't as frustrating to fight with Aranna Legacy. This means without Aranna Legacy they'll be quite easy but since they're so numerous it should still balance out as it is an early dungeon after all.

Sweetness lol it's good I made a backup of my Aranna Legacy saved game. Thanks Iryan Also nice work on Gloern's NIS scene. It's been just about perfect from the start to the Glitterdelve without Aranna Legacy. I look forward to giving the update a shot with AL back on

Legends of Arrana note

If you kill Goldeneye the bear BEFORE talking to the trapper you cannot complete the quest.

When returning by teleporter you are in a black cloud that lifts when you go down the stairs My wild guess, a mood problem.

I do like the encounter changes so far, excellent choices and placement :thumbup1:

Alright I got some screenshots and I'm editing them to better cope with this site (800x600-JPG) :P

On my save without Aranna Legacy:

Shouldn't the question mark icon for Torg be orange?

Glacern half-giants:

These half-giants are the only ones who need a little repositioning done. Also on the third screenshot, you can see the inn keeper's icon through the floor. So far it's been perfect playing from the start to Glacern, but I haven't had a chance to test out the changes specific to the Wesrin Skellies

Legends of Arrana

On the right, a Vile Mucosa standing in stone, on the left, Gloern fully submerged

2 minor LoA items

Here's that :censored: :censored: :censored: Booka :bat:
edit: actually this is a spike maw with the same problem

http://s131.photobucket.com/user/sigofmugmort/media/LoAbeachunbreakable_zpsf11e96e1.jpg.html

Since the Merchant has been moved might consider making what he left behind breakable

@Iryan, Two items

The regular skeletons have had no weaknesses or resistances here is the Skeleton Captain.

And Guess where you still get stuck :censored: :?

Demlocks Tower, 2 Dopplegangers had black ans yellow outfits and I now have The Fire kings Foecrusher from the set and an identical unique hammer

When playing any map using the Legendary mod, all the actors always and up freezing in place after completing their animation, unless I attack them or talk to them. This does not happen when using Succubus Modlet. Is there anything else that prevents that from happening? Because I would like to use mods that are incompatible with Succubus and thing is visualy pretty frustrating
