Kingdom of Ehb remastered

---------------------------

Ok I rebuild your "Kingdom of Ehb (remastered)" without any difficulty
- Original size: 47049 Ko
- Remastered: 47176 Ko

I presume that small changes are imperceptible ... to everybody except you (The Master - I just kidding).

Did you just package the repo as a dsres? That's now how it's meant to be used. You now have a dsres with unnecessary batch files & broken required-levels. Instead, you should use the scripts to build the dsres.
I added a Howto to the Readme.

As to the changes, there are no functional changes in this remaster. I might fork the repo to create variants some day.

1) I constantly have a folder (Temp1) on my C:\ which contains two other folders: Retank + World
2) I extract World.dmap inside Word folder... with Tank Viewer
3) Which gives me 2285 files and 606 folders for a total of 219 MB
4) With your "download.zip" file:
5) I rename map_world (my file) by Kingdom_Of_World (your file)
6) I replace all my files with your files, folder by folder: index, info, quests, regions and main.gas
7) I retank the result with Tank Creator in the "Retank" folder giving a new name: Kingdom_Of_Ehb
- Source: C:\Temp1\World
- Output: C:\Temp1\Retank\Kingdom_Of_Ehb
8.) Change dsres for dsmap
9) All this without using any batch (Build.bat and/or Run.bat)

I hope my explanations were easy to understand.

Based on my remaster, I created a version with small improvements:
https://github.com/foerstj/koe-remaster/releases/tag/revisit-v1.0

This "revisited" edition contains only changes that are unobtrusive and uncontroversial.
Both of these changes were done with the help of scripts I had lying around, and which are published in my GasPy repo.
- Randomized plants (set scale_multiplier & orientation if it wasn't set)
- Added veteran & elite world levels for multi-player

If you know of any small, obvious things to fix in the KoE map - like for example a tree floating in mid-air - tell me and I might add a fix.

No fix, the normal map (KOE) is ok for me. Just to mention, tomorrow (Monday August 22, 2022),
I will post some links about other maps about KOE like "Veteran Ehb.dsmap, Elys Maps,
Elite Ehb map and Siegeworld Map. Wait and See

"I can do it more easily", "I don't need it"!
You're the greatest motivator Ulyss

You mean a comparison of KoE edits? That'll be interesting, looking forward to it!

That's it for today.
This week I will take care of the case of the maps of the game Multiplayer Player (Utraean Peninsula) to play solo
By the way sorry for my english, I'm a French Canadian (a %$?%$ frog lol)

Hi Ulyss,

First of all I love French Canadians for inventing Poutine :9

But what about those links? What are the Elys maps? What is Siegeworld and why does it need a setup executable??

Just had a look at the VeteranEhb & EliteEhb maps. Until now I thought EliteEhb was simply the KoE map converted to Elite, but... here's another case of someone not knowing when to stop.
From the Readme: Added start pos, NPCs can die, bartender in Stonebridge has a gun (wtf), mysterious comment about the items from the Pit of Despair, over a dozen new monsters & bosses, the bosses from Yesterhaven, bosses & drakes made stronger.
And then comes the "But Wait, There's More" section. And the "Future Updates" section because "I always like to improve things".

If you don't want others to "improve" things with their great ideas, and instead just want to play KoE in elite mode, use my map

Tank protection is stupid. You can't view the files with TankViewer, but still extract them with Siege Editor. The only reason to activate this feature is to annoy fellow modders a little. Not sure if that was Elys' intention.

Just had a look at the ElysWorld.dsmap. The readme is inside the dsmap.
Bonus point for Elys: she (Nathalie Bayard according to the readme) named these maps "Elys Kingdom of Ehb" etc even though she apparently didn't do any "improvements" of her own, just converted the map to have multiple world levels. At least there's nothing else mentioned (oh yeah she changed the minimum camera azimuth, similarly to the SeeFar mod).
The maps adds not only two, but seven new world levels (veteran, elite, hunter, killer, hardcore, nightmare, deity).

Unfortunately, you need a certain ElyslogicV5.dsres file to play these maps, which is not included in your link. Most probably the file contains the enemy/container/generator templates for the higher world levels.

I've heard of a map project where all three maps are combined, now I finally found it, thanks!
(The installation exe is pretty useless I guess, it will simply copy the files.)
Apparently you first play KoE, then after Gom you go to Veteran LoA, and after that you go to Elite UP.
Interesting concept. I wonder how he fixed the issue of the duplicate node ids. Maybe he didn't, and that's why the readme says "From time to time there may be crash would save often advantageous." in very bad English by a German dude

I don't remember when and where I find this executable ... with no files (dsmap + dsres).
I just keep it just in case for my back-up ... and very hard to find in Internet.

------------------------------------------------

Ok I gave to you and everybody on this site two files ElyslogicV5.dsres (1,66 Mo) + ElysLoALogicV1.dsres (2,41 Mo).
Both again Tank Protected! but ... but this is not a problem for you.
Bonus: Elys_DS_LoA_SeeFar v2 (3 files).
Note: ElyslogicV5.dsres is good only for ElysKOE map and ElysLoaLogicV1.dsres is only good
for ElysExpansionV1.dsmap (LOA map) - see note 3

Here my link:
ElysV5.rar (3,87 Mo)

------------

Note 1 : next step put few links about Multiplayer Map who you can play solo:
Legends of Utrae 3.2 + Myros Map. But I double check a other of mine
directory: 03 - FOR UTREAEAN PENINSULA (9,47 Go) for some gold surprises.
By the way inside this directory I find more details about Elys Maps

------------

Note 2: soon I become Pro Lite with Mega Cloud (cost 6,54$ every month)
to make sure I don't lost all links I put this week and on the future ...

-------------

Note 3: about "ElysExpansionV1.dsmap (66,2 Mo): Message from Elys:
"ATTENTION: You need the ElysLoALogicV1.dsres (2,41 Mo) file or version above to play this map"
+
"This map:
- adds the possibility to play Legends of Aranna in 5 new map mode: Hunter, Killer, Hardcore, Nightmare, Deity.
- changes the minimum camera azimuth from 32 to 5 (Need CFfogadjust.dsres (30,4 Ko) ???)

Installation:
. Copy the ElysLoALogicV1.dsmap into your DSLOA folder."

------------

Note 4: I will correct my errors in the next publication in connection with the "Multiplayer Maps" especially the "Elys Maps"
I will give again these 3 maps (Elys Maps) when I will talk about Multiplayer Maps Solo (this week). Wait and See
