Dungeon Siege Revived (or is it?)

Submitted by leocreed on Sat, 2013-03-02 15:43

I really wish someone could just make DSRevived 0.9.1 for LOA.
As much as it is a bit of a challenge, it's the only really
near-complete mod out there for DS that's mostly balanced and
all inclusive. The reason I ask is because all the other good
large mods are not map-transfer capable (mostly 'CuteGirl
Revived LOA' mod). I'd really like to play via DSLOA then put
a good high level party in 'Legends of Utrae' Veteran/Elite
map.

So whaddya guys say, will one of you do it? Can 'Ikkyo' himself
do it? Please help out!...

Dungeon Siege Revived LoA v0.9.0 is the same from your stand point as DSRevived 0.9.1, since both are the final version. Ikkyo has not modded in a very long time and I actually have no idea where he is.
I know where omniscient_colossus is but Francisco is no longer modding any DS stuff. He has moved on to new projects and a real life. So be happy with what exists or change it yourself. Francisco is the person you would need to speak to as most of the work was his in any case.

What specifically are you looking to see updated? Have you tried to use Revived with the map transfer mod(s)? What success have you had?

I wondered because I had tried using Revived dungeon siege loa version along with the map transfer mod without success.

I mean, the game *does* load and all, but there are these odd "boxes" when looking at items and the female characters can't equip the ribbons or wigs. Character level is stuck at 0 also, whether my character or any party members. Just weird stuff, really.

I had a number of similar difficulties several years ago when using revived for original DS and the DS Mod program. The game would load, but with the errors previously mentioned. When I used revived LoA and DS LOA mod, my saved game would not load at all, because of the objects not matching bug that iryan covers in his read me for his map transfer mod.

Sorry, I suppose this isn't particularly helpful and a bit long winded to boot. *shrug* Smile

I believe he is referring to the DSLOAMT mod.

Unfortunately because of the Dynamic Link Library necessary for Revived to function properly, no multiplayer transfer of entire parties is capable. That was one aspect of Revived that I sorely missed. Sad

Hmm, I took it as he wanted to use DS LoA revived *with*
the map transfer mod. I had trouble with that and wondered if he had the same. Perhaps it was just the gremlins that live in my computer.

Yes, that is the way i wanted it but since i haven't actually transferred a party using these two mods i had thought it was 'map-transfer' capable. Sigh! I guess i'll have to go with ds1 maps in ds2 (just started that again...)
