DS1 Legendary Mod for DS2 Beta Thread

With the new high-level approach now it will have consequences running through areas without taking care of the enemies there.
In this context the player also will have a little benefit when staying in a region and starts training.

I plan to go hunting around Crystwind equipping all my party to operate as Combat Mages and at the same time find the Crystwind Town Stone.

Of special note I tried the back door to Quillrabe out of Crystwind while using local mode and all of the monsters are level 36 to 38 so I think that path is effectively blocked with the MLA mod set to local it is easier with the MLA mod set to ALL and a breeze with the MLA mod disabled.

Things are moving along smoothly, Party spending the night in Crystwind Drinking Ale.
I am off to bed as it is almost midnight.

At Fallren, party level at 26, Nature Mage, combat Mage, Slayer, and 2 druids. All quests working well.

In the side passage going into Cryswind one of the pair of tunnel worms was free experience as a single arrow into the red barrel killed it before it could attack.

I see the Ghost Incantation shrine are still on the Radar Map. can re-post the locations if needed (and I still wonder if the program isn't echoing the locations from the path to fallren map somehow)

Did not leave a single monster alive in the Crystwind Old Mines. I find it odd that Arisu and Ivlisar who where hired at the same time and are using the same spells have not advanced equally, whereas my rangers have even though they are using different weapons. Can someone explain this. I understand Stonepicker being a bit behind in stats since he was hired quite a bit later. I do not think I will overrun you this time Sigofmugmort, as I am taking my time and learning all over again how to operate a low level party.

Now, to continue from Fallren and do a re-post as soon as i dig up the info. Had a Marternal unit Class reunion this weekend and I am the motive power for her wheelchair which is why Bare_Elf made it through Fallren WITHOUT being hit with a barrage of snowballs :goofy: :P

:wacko:

Is DS1_Mod_Regional_Monster_Levelling_Alpha1.dsres an essential part of the package people are testing or has it been embodied in or superseded by the latest levels of everything else?

(When it first came out I was doing my last KoE run which was without MLA, so until today I hadn't downloaded it.)

I have discovered that although I could not hire Ivlisar at the start of the game I could jump back from Crystwind, Find him in the church (he no longer has the hire icon (3 crowns) but when you talk to him you get the hire conversation and you can hire him. I will have to look into this with all the NPCs that are selective hires when I start another game. I also think there may be an issue with Briahra's template. She has trouble wearing some DS1 robes and DS2 type 1 armors. They appear on her as black and yellow. These same armors will appear correct on other characters of all races and sexes. I did not as yet have time to compare her template with that of another female elf.

Other than some armor showing up on Briahra as black and yellow stripes and working on other characters just fine, everything is going great.

When I was updating girl armor with Tattoos for the Utraeans I also edited some of the human skin types, dryad skin types and elf skin types to also have tattoos. I was working on B_c_gah_amr_suit_fa_a1_300_12 so had removed it from the mod on what I thought was a temporary editing project. Then version 32b came out and I created a special version of Girl Armor to more closely approximate the levels of armor used for lower level characters and forgot to finish and then reinstall the B_c_gah_amr_suit_fa_a1_300_12 so there was none in the mod and since that is the base body color/image for most of the armors it did not work. So I fixed it and things are better now.

Hope I did not make people search for a problem that never existed with the game except if you where using my mod, sorry.

Another minor update with progress completed to Quillrabe.

http://www.siegetheday.org/~iryan/files/Betav32/DS1_Mod_Logic_Beta32c.ds2res

I had to add 12 tasks to the go to Quillrabe minor quest in order for all the arrows to show properly. Especially in the Goblin Warrens, the arrows tend to disappear - I guess they couldn't handle the complexities of the structure of that region.

Level 39/41 for Meren. My party not that high even in Quillrabe. Then I haven't been doing too much clearing of areas before moving on, while I haven't been avoiding fights I've been concentrating on proceeding through the map as quickly as possible.

I checked Briahra's template and can't see anything obviously wrong with it. She uses the same model as do Arisu, Tiahna & Sheba but with subtype _12 (for the elf female of that skin texture) and all of those textures appear to be present. It would be handy if you could tell me exactly what armors are giving the yellow and black errors.

Level 34 at Meren killing anything that moves, Pirate ship makes a GREAT bonfire to roast the Hydra over

Yes I have verified with my second party that there is no yellow quest arrow in the Lang Mire. As soon as you pass the guard and the Save point at the start of the Mire the arrow dies, then reappears the minute you enter Lang.

So the answer is simply that the region is so large that the game can't track it properly so it disappears. Or probably can't find the radar icon to link the arrow to so the game assumes there's no arrow and doesn't display it until it can find the icon.

So another task will have to be added to link the arrows together (the same problem I struck in the Goblin Warrens).

Now in Lang at level 39

No Phraks or Rats have spawned from barrels.

The convo to get Sinaht to join refers to him as Drevin

Maybe make finding the Dark Swamp a quest point before entering Lang

Sulfur tunnels or Goblin lair next? that's the question

or maybe clear the Illyarth valley first

The quest arrow goes out while in the Goblin Warrens, South End of Bridge at location GI_A2_R2. 1.117/6.000/-1.276/0x72f31c4d. It happens just as the leading party member moves off the bridge on to solid ground. The Quest Arrow returns at the stairs located at GI_A_R2. 1.027/6.000/0.525/0xf7aa98c5. As a secondary note the Travel to Quillrabe quest. Step 1 never gets checked off. The remaining up to redwood gap have checked. Party at the exit of the Goblin Warrens talking to guard in Redwood Gap.

Jumping back to the Redwood Gap Forest Direct Connect teleporter at OF_R1. 1.600/ 0.000 /-1.133 /0x32e03670 after restart the quest arrow is gone again and it has not returned and I am at the Direct Connect Teleporter at the first outpost of Iliarth canyon.

As noted in my previous post I am at the Direct Connect Teleport of Iliarth Canyon at the Old Outpost. It is getting late so I am going to hold here for the night. Still no return of the Quest Arrow.

Goblins,Pit and such

Another shrine only on Radar Map where you fight the big mech suit.

No experience for fighting the Doppelgangers in the Pit

Level 45 at entrance to Fury lair

Have to retrieve some screenshots from the Sanctuary. There is still the two room where approaching from one side the walls are smooth but when you then enter a room that abuts it a button appears in both rooms that show as usable but do not work.

There was one spot with several Lungers/slingers on some stairs, they launched a devastating attack on the NON-Dwarves but as long as I stayed in the water they ignored me and Stonepicker while my Dwarf clobbered them. Stepping up the stairs out of the water did trigger them.

:twisted:

you know, the Lungers REALLY have problems with 2 Earthquake Auras overlapping :twisted:

Will check again the Flooded Sanctuary. I must admit that I rather skipped most of the Flooded Sanctuary and only checked the quest boss. The quest also could probably use some tweaking, there's no radar icon for instance and the quest says to clear the sanctuary of all monsters yet you only need to kill the one boss.

So the sight_origin_height tweak is also required for dwarf heroes. I will make it so. Thanks for the reports.

From Lang to Quillrabe the main yellow quest arrow remained on the radar map. There where only four differences between what I did with party 1 and party 2. This time I never went back, I never used the town portal to return to town for supplies, I never exited the game and therefore never had to use the Direct Connect Teleport System. Doing one of these things caused the quest arrow to vanish. Sigofmugmort was quite correct about the wall/doors in the flooded sanctuary and the monsters in the Pit. I am wondering if I restart now if the quest arrow will remain? On restarting the Quest Arrow remains

Since I have my first and second parties both resting in Quillrabe. I decided to start a 3rd. party for several reasons:
To see the new eye candy that iryan created prior to Meren.
To see the difference in character development with MLA off.
To hire characters that I have not hired in the past.
Because I can.
To give Iryan to work on things beyond Quillrabe.

At Quillrabe, still no gather points on the 3 Elevators from Crystwind, the one twords Eldim and the first 2 twords Quillrabe.

At the Sanctuary

Matbe I should get a bucket of cold well-water and stand on a tower and wait for a certain ELF to pass under :twisted: :P
