DS1 Legendary Mod for DS2 Beta Thread

I've added gather points to these areas but please note that sometimes they won't work. i.e. the elevator at Meren.
The ghost shrine radar icons should be gone.
I can't see any obvious reason for the secret door in the Flooded Sanctuary not to be working. You should be able to open it from either side. It'll have to wait until I play another game and get back there to tinker with it.
I'll tinker with the quest arrows around Lang but as for them disappearing under certain conditions, I'll doubt I'll ever be able to rectify all of those.
I need to improve the hiring conversations for the new characters, this I know. Plus some of them still use voice samples from Deru.

Iryan I really like the work that you have done with some of the NIS sequences and senery. Running back through the map as far as I have gone I have not found any errors or problems that Sigofmugmort and I already found and that you are working on Iryan. I will now advance party 3 toward Crystwind.

Here's also the debug messages that I'm getting in Lang Mire. Has anyone else encountered this?

That is a really good idea to have a reagemt salesperson/enchantress in the same NPC - Maybe a special Icon instead of 2? Now the sales person in the bar of Meren sells everything even though he has just the Magic seller icon, so maybe that is not necessary to have a special icon.

As for the debug messages in the Lang Mire I have seen them on various places on the map, I just assumed they where a warning to be careful and not a debug message. So I wonder if it is really necessary to remove them.

Next party started(for mainly the same reasons as Bare_Elf) have gone West, South and East to see the additions, now heading for the Crypt.

The double-duty NPC's such as at Fallrean and Crystwynd are very nice.

Now DS2 already knows some kind of double-icons (with a diagonal bar between) to show exclamation/question mark and shop purpose at the same time.
Perhaps something similar could be realized by means of the over-head icon effect, producing a double-icon look by using 2 of the existing textures - just smaller with some diagonal offset.

However for the radar map it's probably the easiest to place 2 icons (icon objects) next to each other onto the map...

The swinging platform located in the Crystwind Old Mines ( mines2 0.401/ 0.000/ 1.528/ 0x501279DA) is missing a gather point.

I've started playing again, am in the Utraean Peninsular (SE) and have just emerged into the daylight again with Lord Hovart's armor. Newly started hero, generally following the quest arrow killing all monsters I see and collecting treasure but not exploring exhaustively. (For example, I did go everywhere in the Ancient Crypts but I ignored a side loop in Hovart's Folly south and hadn't been to the far corner of the Marshes.) I'm trying to look for everything a tester should but sometimes get too caught up in playing the game.

Going well so far, as I expected.

I only played the map once in DS1, that was with the old Myros SP mod, but do remember it quite well. (I started LOU once but decided I wanted first to see what GPG's original was like - besides, the Myros mod made a good vehicle for learning to dabble in simple template-level modding - I swapped some of the recruitable characters for more expensive ones so my party would grow slower, like in Ehb.) In a rash clear-out I threw away my old saved games so cannot go back to compare them.

2.2, Mod Logic Beta32c, Map UP Beta32c, MLA Beta5r set to Local
(DS1_Mod_Regional_Monster_Levelling_Alpha1.ds2res not present)

U32c#01 Ancient Crypts radar - the floor plan is wrongly orientated with the top-of-screen direction to the right on the radar - most confusing, especially since the quest arrow and the red monster dots are orientated correctly (so far as I could tell).

U32c#02 No radar quest star on the Elddim Townstone's hiding place, nor one on Hovart's gavel (there's no task in the quest to collect it, which will be a problem for any player, expecting to be led by the hand as usual in DS2, who doesn't know one cannot enter the Folly without the gavel), but a spurious star in the short rough tunnel section between the main and final parts of the crypts.

U32c#03 Elddim radar has tombstone marker in wrong place (the chapel).

U32c#04 Elddim convo - child Tad (in Elias' pig pen) convo "I'm going to tall & strong like my Daddy when I grow up" - a word missing there!

U32c#05 Elddim convo - Ybeldan Macydelme (near bridge from smithy to inn) convo "Spoken to Kedaresa yet!" No, because I've failed to find any such person.

U32c#06 Elddim old woman labelled "refugee" when her convo reveals she has a name - Ma Kettle!

U32c#07 Two farm houses between Elddim and the crypts entrance are both "Old Ma Kettle's House" and both the DCs identify themselves as such when activated.

(By the way, I like the cart's cargo - nice touch.)

U32c#08 DC in the ancient crypt's cemetery (crypt exit) identifies itself when activated as at Horty Olof's. Two DCs on, at the entrance to Hovart's Folly south, I didn't notice what the DC activated msg said but this morning when I restarted my game and used that portal I was told (by msg and by screen overlay banner) that I'd got to Horty Olof's. When I moved towards the Folly entrance up came the Hovart Marshes banner.

==========
P.S. a few Hazard msgs in the Crypts (though nothing there looked to be hazardous).
==========
PPS. comment - I've made it to Crystwind at a lower level than either elf or dwarf have reported - level 17 with a party that was two strong up to the Iliarth Divide, three strong through crypts (entered at level 9), marshes and the Folly, and four strong through the short section of mine. My levels along the way closely match what I expect the monsters encountered would be without MLA (going by my records from my last test run in Ehb).

My party has not discovered any new problems. Briahra (the local hero) Says the best ale on the peninsula can be found in the Meren Inn and the fishing now that the pirates are gone should be very good. The members of my party Xavier being the loudest, have asked me if they can spend a few days fishing before we move on. I told them yes and if you need me you can find me under one of the tables in the Meren Inn as I will be Aleing LOL. Now guys remember no bow fishing or magic fishing ha ha.

The first pass through the map is done and its playable right through to the end.

Now to start back at the beginning again and polish it a bit more and see if I can fix the outstanding bugs, omissions and quirks. Then onto LOA and Yesterhaven before going back to KOE for one last time.

Downloaded 32D and will move parties 1 and 2 from Quillrabe to the end. I will leave party 3 fishing and drinking in Meren. Then I will start two parties in Elddim one with MLA set to local and one with MLA set to all.

New party is a party of 1 (Mainly) Nature/Combat mage

One funny item: on the road to the Crypt I was carefully approaching a Royal turkey(dinner time :twisted: ) when a Skrug popped up and started attacking me whereupon the Turkey went after the Skrug . I'm guessing I hit the Skrug's engagement zone before the Turkey's and it thought the Skrug was dinner.

In the Ancient Crypt I was using an AOE attack and noticed that there was more then the 2 Gargoyles showing damage apparently the Vampire Bats can be damaged BEFORE they come up through the floor in the 2 locations that happens.

BTW: Has anyone seen the movie "In the name of the King, A Dungeon Siege Tale?

:twisted: :silly:

I probably should have re-reported the 2 DC's and names at the Kettle's house since it was so long ago :blush:

I have been playing Utraen Peninsula SE revision 32B. I have not had time to upgrade yet as my Internet connection is being very slow. My Internet Service Provider is working on the issue, it appears to be an issue for my whole town. But I do have a question for anyone who can help. I completed the Pit of Despair Quest and the Flooded Sanctuary. When I checked the quest log there is a quest between Pit of Despair and Flooded Sanctuary. There does not appear to be a quest of any type in the small area between the Pit of Despair and the Flooded Sanctuary. What is the name of the quest and where do I find it?

Iryan is it possible to make a list of the quest names for act 1, act 2, and act 3. So that slow players like myself can have some idea of what the quest is about and where we might possibly find it (general area not specific location).

I read Sigofmugmorts post about the Flooded Sanctuary -- I found the doors that are one way and should be two way and I also agree with him that the quest is to easy. I will upgrade to the current level just as soon as my Internet connection tells me that it does not require a hour to get the two files, I would guess it should be under 5 minutes.

I did not see anything strange, out of place or not working from Quillrabe to Hiroth. The Queen Dragon was hard to kill which is the way it should be after all she is the queen.

ACT I: A farmer's scythe, Hovart's Folly, A New Way to Travel, Orchard Cellar, Travel to Crystwind, Travel to Fallraen, Dwarven Secrets, Fallraen Barracks, Travel to Meren

ACT II: Dornek's Quarry, Pirates of Meren, Travel to Lang, Confront the Bandit Boss, Travel to Quillrabe, Goblin's Secret Plans, Pit of Despair, Conquer the Pit of Despair, Flooded Sanctuary, Slay the Dragon Queen, Assassinate the Droog Rebel Leader, Travel to Hiroth, Droog Peace Treaty

ACT III: Travel to Grescal, Threat to Hiroth, The Great Explorer, Threat to Grescal, The Lost Pyramids, Island in the Desert, The Trial of Gallus

The travel to quests are used to link the main quest together, they really are secondary quests but treated as part of the main quest. The quests in the Last Act are mostly there to encourage exploration of the bonus areas of the map such as the Lost Pyramids, Eastern Island, the Great Northern Forest and the infamous Trial of Gallus.

I agree the Flood Sanctuary Quest could be improved. I will look into it.

========

Is there no way to simply rotate the floor plan you already have?
========
I've downloaded 32d but had gone through from Crystwind to Fallraen yesterday:
2.2, Mod Logic Beta32c, Map UP Beta32c, MLA Beta5r set to Local

level 17 at Crystwind with party of 4
+++ (and enough money for 5th slot but chose not to recruit) +++
+++ (went into all side rooms, caves etc from Miners' Haven onwards) +++
+++ (including the whole of the big Ice Rift cave) +++
+++ (but one small corner of ledge in the forest excepted) +++
level 20 at old mines DC after clearing Miners' Haven
level 21 at mine exit DC "Jessa Alberd's Cabin"
level 23 at Fallraen

(For comparison, in my last KoEhb benchmark, no MLA, level 21 at Glacern)

In earlier stages I'd often been fighting orange-level monsters (which I didn't find too difficult, and they still give max experience). This time, particularly in the second half of the mines and in the Fallraen Forest, I was often fighting blue-level ones, which still give max exp, and I didn't find them too easy. Two blue Rock Beasts and their yellow-level miniboss made a satisfying finale to the mine. Only just before Fallraen did I spot something (I think a Krug) that had come out green.

I'd guess from what I saw that the MLA local setting for the Fallraen Forest is the same as the one for the Crystwind Old Mine, with only the Fallraen Barracks slightly higher.

Going everywhere in the forest was an accident. After the mine, the quest arrow led me by the short cut to Jessa Alberd's but after her I followed the obvious path beyond her, the one maybe I was supposed to have come on the long way round, and so did find the ziggurat after all.

U32c#09 dwarf soldier outside Hovart's Folly north says he's there checking the displacer but there is no displacer any more. (He also says he lost his helmet when he has one right there on his head! - GPG's quirk, I remember that)

SUGGESTION - anyone unfamiliar with the map will think a DC is due here. So have the soldier say how close this is to town.

U32c#10 Colart Kargurninus (next to Orla Riverstarn the revealer/enchanter) convo, "Sorry I can't now" - can't do what?

U32c#11 dead dwarf's body just inside Haven sparkling effect (nearest word I can think of for the effect) does not turn off when the body is clicked (completing the Dwarven Secrets quest).

U32c#12 radar ghosts

U32c#13 outside the mine exit the radar shows a health shrine. Being at full health I couldn't prove the stone circle there doesn't work, but it didn't light up when I stepped on it and it certainly shows no label when pointed at.

U32c#14 in the Fallraen Barracks are two Incantation Shrines but only the first (going clockwise) worked for me. ID_R2 -2.374/1.000/0.962/0xBED016DC for the non-working one.

The Fallraen Barracks quest (given me by a soldier labelled "human female" not "legionnaire") confused me because it completed not when I'd killed the last monster but only when I gave up looking for another and went back out.

Just after leaving town the quest arrow points South while the path goes North for quite a ways.

Could not break

Several powers do not work against the Dragon Queen such as Earthquake and Circle of Frost

Considered just Re-posting but decided new party, new pic

The Phantom Counter

Party now at Level 51, found 2 Lorebooks I have not seen before

All Act I and Act II Quests completed

Bone Minions are now Healed by Lightning/death magic Makes BASHING more fun

}:) :twisted:

I back tracked my party to the Pit of Despair and went into the pit. The labyrinth of the pit is just as annoying as in the original map and Legends of Utrae. Took longer to complete the "conquer the pit of Dispair" quest than it did to travel from Lang to Quillrabe! Lots of fun getting lost and returning to the same place over and over again. Oh by the way I was able to finally download the files for 32D - My Internet Service Provider fixed the issue with their local server and I was able to get the files in about a minute. Again Iryan thank you for bringing this nasty quest back.

I did the same thing that Shadow Watcher did and Played the Conquer the Pit of Despair Quest. I agree totally with Shadow Watcher it is very difficult and takes quite some time, but enjoyable when you find the end. Secondary Quests in Grescal do not show on radar (not sure if any secondary quests do anywhere on the map, but is noticeable for some reason in Grescal. See characters Tess Kerram and Wylie Talbot. Threat to Hiroth quest way to easy. Enter castle turn right and right again and done. What about hiding a key to the door before the Mausoleum stair case some where deep in the Hiroth Castle? So it actually requires you to remove most of Skellies from the castle. The guards thanking you after killing less than five monsters makes it seem as if the 10 Legion is made up of sissies. Remember the Tenth conquered the entire peninsula and held it for more than 300 years! Now a jump back to Elddim and off to the Great Northern forest to complete the Great Explorer, Island in the Desert and Lost Pyramids quests. Yes there is a back door in the Great Northern Forest to find both the Lost Pyramids and the island in the desert.

The only way to "fix" it is to add more tasks and thus quest points for the arrow to lock onto. This can be problematic when adding quest tasks just for the sake of getting the arrow to function properly. The DS2 map was cleverly planned out in this regards. Can be done though.

Incidentally it's very easy to tweak the MLA local settings for the map yourself. It's located in the world/maps/utraean_peninsula/info/level_adjustment_regional.gas file. The region names are a little crytic if you're not familiar with them but things like mine_town refers to Crystwind, snow_town to Fallraen, etc. You could expand the level range for instance so you would be fighting even green and red monsters through the map no matter your level.

I'm going to have a go at editing a freshly generated radar of the crypts and see how I go.

Now level 54, All Main Quests finished just have the Pyramids,Oasis, And Great Northern forest.

Trial of Gallus, all cliff elevators need gather points as does the one in the dessert between the Dragons lair exit and Grescal

Threat to Hiroth suggestion, Quest objectives of Enter Castle, Clear Castle, Enter Catacombs, Kill Necromancer.

Greatest Explorer quest needs to be gained MUCH earlier. In Lang, you get a warning that not is all it seems. At this point you should get the Quest since as it is the information you get at the end is pointless.

Now I have to go find the Bone Minion I missed :twisted:

I am currently in Elddim, I have completed the following quests.
Primary Quests -- Eldim Town Stone, Crystwind Town Stone, Fallraen Town Stone, Meren Town Stone, Quillrabe Town Stone, Grescal Town Stone, Assemble the Town Stones, Destroy the Maljin.
Secondary Quests -- Farmers Scythe, Orchard Celler, New Way to Travel, Hovart's Folly, Travel to Crystwind, Dwarven Secrets, Travel to Fallraen, Fallraen Barracks, Travel to Meren, Dornek's Quarry, Pirates of Meren, Confront Bandit Boss, Travel to Lang, Goblin's Secret Plans, Pit of Despair, Conquer the Pit of Despair, Flooded Sanctuary, Travel to Quillrabe,Slay Dragon Queen, Assassinate Droog Rebel Leader, Droog Peace Treaty, Travel to Hiroth, Threat to Hiroth, Travel to Grescal, Threat to Grescal, Great Explorer, Lost Pyramids, Island in the Desert.

Both Parties have completed the entire catalog of both Primary and Secondary Quests. The parties both had an average Skill level of 55. So it makes little difference at least to the way I play if the MLA mod is set to All or Local. Of note I only see RED monsters on the radar I have never encountered monsters of other colors, again is it the way I play the game? I always hunt every monster whether it is required or not, going back over some areas just to make sure I found add the side paths where bad thing could be lurking.

I found no issues with Act Three of the game.

I am going to start a new party, setting MLA to Local, and run the map again to see if I can discover why my party's skill level tends to be higher than most.

Apropos that, @Iryan, the "official" instructions for the New Way to Travel quest (open the connection then exit, restart and use the new portal from Elddim to Ma Kettle's) land the party in a frantic few moments (*@#!heap of an ambush) with respawned Krug and wildlife coming at them from all directions. Not a player-friendly mini-tutorial.

2.2, Mod Logic Beta32d, Map UP Beta32d, MLA Beta5r set to Local
(32d replaced 32c at Fallraen)

Party now of 5 has gone from level 23 at Fallraen to level 29 at Meren; this is less than 1-and-a-half ahead of my "almost 28" KoE benchmark for the Travellers' Camp:
- Ancient Temple side areas on the upper level ignored;
- Dorneck's stone quarry visited by the direct path but side loops, quarry rim circuit and Sulphur tunnel ignored (thank you for the return portal, by the way);
- kept to the main path in the Crystal Caverns. (The party even spared some of the Lurkers they passed.)

At Fallraen I spotted three pairs of identically-named NPCs, in two cases with the same convo.

If the party returns with the news that they have found priest Lagreth dead, apprentice Flessan asks did they resurrect the poor man? In DS1 I think one could do so (but haven't confirmed this) using the C-key+mouse method of casting a spell anywhere, not available in DS2. Not that he did anything memorable when resurrected.

U32c#15 in the Fallraen Magicatorium is a table with books which sparkle to show something is worth picking up (a lore book perhaps) but there is nothing to pick up. It is on the opposite side of the door to the stash vault.

U32c#16 lorebook page 2.5 "Fallraen" mentions the Ancient Temple as the way to Meren "a seaside town on the West Coast". East coast, surely.

U32c#17 at Fallraen's forge, merchant Smithy Liorne's convo includes "/n/n".

U32d#18 Meren has another of those dubious health shrines on radar (on dead-end ledge above town). On the other hand the mana shrines I found along my way do work, so maybe the health one would if any of my people needed it.

U32d#19 Meren undertaker shares somebody else's name and convo so won't offer to do his job.

U32d#20 Why is the Bandit Boss quest shown as intended for a level (25) one lower than the pirates who come first?

U32d#21 P.S. Handbook! (beyond Lesson 11)

The color of the monsters is in their name when it appears at the top of the screen. I never in the past paid much attention to the name appearing at the top of the screen. I was to busy killing them to pay attention to what they where. I looked this time and saw red, yellow, green and blue. I never really liked the screen that pops up giving the monster name and what they are protected against and what kills them. I would remove the clutter in the qui if I could and this is clutter. Since my rangers weapons deal ice, fire, lightning and death damages along with high regular damage and my combat mages carry a full array of spells that deal the same types of damage always carry at least on nasty spell in the auto cast an auto cast slot. My nature mages carry a full array of healing spells in the auto cast slots. Therefore the color of the monster was never important to me.

Actual path through acient crypts is offset to right on the radar map
Room that contains the Gavel of Convening not marked. It should be, because it is required to advance some quests.
Name of the save point between Old Ma Kettle's House and the save point at the acient crypts should be renamed if possible. I know that Richard and Sigofmugmort have noted this. but I would like to suggest a name "Kettle Family Farm".
I would not rename the save point at the exit of the Acient Crypts called "Horty Olof's house since it is actaully close to his home as the crow flies. I quess you could move it to his house to satisfy the purists.

I think the character stats are more in line with normal, as I have not gone off trail, and walked past things that I would normally kill.
