    Emperor's Brother - My inquisitor in-depth build

    in Sacred 2 Guides - Inquisitor

    Sorry for being a little late here or commenting later on at this guide. As a recent Inquisitor player (really started spamming him since early 2020 when pandemic hit and we had to stay home) I have to admit this is a nice build overall and pretty much on point for my taste of play.

    Still remember I've had not long ago a pretty similar style (was using the Soul Reaver buff instead of Doppelganger, which I left as a stand alone spell) and was one piece away from completing the Disgraced Gods set... all until I took a one-hit-knockout from the dragon champs on the Seraphim Islands. 

    One suggestion I'd like to say is that you can consider learning Armor Lore a bit earlier than level 65 (if your skill build is listed based on levels). It really reduces regeneration time as well as granting you a little more survivability and movement speed. In fact, Armor Lore is a must-have skill for all my builds, no matter the style nor the toon, I like to have it way early on, at levels 8-12 or even earlier :D

    I know, but I preferred to obtain the advantages that allowed me to improve the skills and add the modifiers of each of them, rather than the survivability that Armor Lore grants. As you will see, at level 75 there are 3 mastered skills, and in my case I didn't really need to raise the armor until almost the end. However, the lack of skill points can be made up with equipment that has a + X to all abilities, which makes this inquisitor really lethal.

    How do you "read" the Skill level order ?

    For instance : 1    3    0    Astral Lord Lore

    What do the numbers on each 3 columns represent ?

    Im new to sacred 2 and looking at some builds so sorry for my ignorance.

     

    To read the skill order just go to the second page of the excel and you will see the skill points form level 1 to 200. It's very easy and straightforward

    Do armors have the damage type socket? I swear I had a piece of armor with that socket but I sold it. Now I keep looking for armor with damage type socket.

    Or was I just imagining stuff and this is impossible to exist in the game?

    In my case I cannot remember any armour with a damage type socket. Every armour that I have during this 13 years (god dang the time passes very fast) had the B/S/G sockets.

    This was actually a massive win... noone thought it could be done and for years reverse-engineering the code was thought impossible.  This topics actually a great adventure to read, with the back and forth convos on their way to victory...

    That's right..... and it's time to play with my sw online as I did it in the old good days XD

    SACRED 2 ONLINE MULTIPLAYER: HOW-TO, DISCUSSION & DEVELOPMENT

    in DarkMatters: Introductions.

    Yes, Sacred 2 Multiplayer is a thing again in almost all of it's glory and this is how to play in the OpenNet without using any additional software:

    Joining

    1. Launch Sacred 2 (Gold or any version patched to Ice&Blood 2.65, Steam also supported) and go to Multiplayer > OpenNet
      If there is no OpenNet Button, download this file linked here, copy it into your game directory with the same folder structure and restart Sacred 2 before proceeding.
    2. Create a new account:
      You need to fill out all fields, but may enter whatever you like - however: please do not enter your actual cd-key or real email address, just use fake data instead as it does not matter and I dont want to know those anyway, I just can't prevent the game on your end asking for it and sending it to me ;)
    3. Enter the lobby with your credentials and select an existing character or create a new one.
    4. Join any server which matches your game version (see server title and description).
      Joing a non-matching server will crash your game without further notice, so go to a "vanilla" server with an unmodded game and to a "cm160hf" one with the CM Patch installed for example.
    5. Loot Ancaria :)

          Currently, there are pre-configured servers available for following configurations which are hosted together with the lobby (I.e. should be always online): 

    •     "Vanilla" default game without any mods (all difficulties, free & campagin)
    •     "CM Patch 1.60hf" modded game (all difficulties, free & campagin)
    •     "Sacred2 Enhanced Edition 2.4B" (all difficulties, free only)

          Still missing on the list is Dimitrius's Addendum, but it will be added eventually.

    Hosting a Server

    1. First, ensure the port your game shall run at is accessible. By default, you want to make sure port 7011 is free in your firewall at least for UDP traffic. If you host it at home, you will have to make sure your internet router does allow & redirect that traffic, too. How exactly to do this depends very much on the network equippment you use, so it is not possible to go into more detail here for me in general - just ask please if you have issues with a specific setup and with sufficient information provided we might be able to help you with that.
    2. Host your server, there are multiple ways to do so:
    • Straight-forward approach, ingame in the Lobby

      After hosting, you will join your new server automatically and it will keep running aslong as your own game does. Others will see it in the lobby now and will be able to join aslong as everything with the port is fine. Remember however, that most internet service providers change their customers IPv4 address every 24hours which may result in sheduled disconnects of your server. If you or your players dont like this, running the gameserver on a server in some datacenter with a static address might be preferable. Depending on the available operating system, dedicated solutions like the following two might serve that purpose for you.

    • Dedicated on Windows:
      Open a commandline (Windows+R Shortcut, input "cmd" and hit enter), navigate to your sacred2 installation folder where the s2gs.exe is located. Start it in the commandline with parameters. Example:

    s2gs.exe -connmode=opennet -diff=silver -name="Example Server" -description="It would be kind to put a list of mods here if required" -numplayers=5 -type=free -lobby=us.sacred2.net -lobby_port=6900 -externalip=YOUR_IPV4_ADDRESS_HERE -port=7011 -lobby_name=YOUR_ACCOUNT_USERNAME -lobby_pwd=YOUR_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD

    For a full list of parameters, see this post which is still up-to-date and valid.

    • Dedicated on Linux (for example a server you own with a static ip address)

    The parameters are the same, but since we are on Linux we will need to use wine to launch that windows binary. For that purpose, I have added a example server which is deployed via docker-compose. Just edit the .env to your liking (at least set your servers ip address) and you should be good to go. See this post for more about that.

    Hosting a Lobby

    1. You may also setup a complete lobby on a server yourself with it's own game server registry which you or other players could use then to play together by altering the client side "network.lobby_ip" in the        "OptionsCustom.txt" to an address you host it on. This is technically a bit more involved and I suggest reading the whole discussion in this thread if you want to do that as it describes how this all currently works (my lobby server runs that way, too). A copy of the lobby files is hosted at github (yes, needs update, I know ;)) and it is based on this user's post.

    I know many information in my post are a bit too general and would also be easier to understand if not only in textform - they will be fleshed out a bit more, soon enough, but for now, this loose collection will have to do. :P
    Oh and btw., even while only testing this in a very small scale I still already had the pleasure to meet a few nice people on the servers and for me thats basically what this is all about, bringing the players together, so in terms of purpose this little project already succeeds :)

    Thanks to all of you who made it possible to get it this far (and maybe even further)!

    Old original entry post as of 10/13/2019, for reference:

    Hello,

    first things first, I know this is an oddly specific request, however, since asking is cheap and neither time nor success is crucial on this (still it would be very convenient ;)), I will put it anyway: Does anybody has - maybe somewhere hidden in his always growing pile of data or on a old, dust covered hdd lying lonley in some dark corner - network traffic probe files which may randomly include sacred 2 lobby traffic and would be willing to share them (for wireshark, the filter to check for potential traffic would be "tcp.port == 6800" in files, if I remember right, from somewhere between october 2008 and april 2012) for analysis purposes?

    I am currently looking into the tincat3.dll and it seems like an actually not impossible, but still time-consuming task to reconstruct the packages sent. I am willing to try this, but also I am more or less only able to work on my rare free weekends on this, so this would take a long time and long time projects in my experience tend to fail. Further more, since the first Sacred - accoding to this thread - uses the older version tincat2.dll which seems quite similar, it would be likewise useful traffic as well, probably not only for me. However, because of it's age I assume the odds are even worse?

    Playing with friends on a VPN works nice & flawless, but is for sure not convenient enough for the majority of other players and I kinda miss the simplicity of the old lobby system - even if it never was that busy there, the people you met were always nice to play and talk with and you did not have to scare them away with technical client-side stuff like you are nowadays forced to... :P

     

     

    I love you so much XD. The day that my SW comes again to online life has come. U have winned a freaking big beer :bow:
