Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 File Name: Flix's Dragon Mage Sets ModFile Submitter: FlixFile Submitted: 18 Jan 2014File Category: Community PatchFlix's Dragon Mage Sets Mod v2 NOTE: This mod is no longer available as a stand-alone mod. It is now included in and superseded by the Community Patch 1.60. ================================Introduction: This is an ongoing project that adds new set, unique, and legendary items to Sacred 2: Ice and Blood. Currently the mod contains the following items: *Draco's Garments of Mutation (Full Dragon Mage Set) *Chaoskampf (Full Dragon Mage Set) *Auspicious Powers (Full Dragon Mage Set) *Eternal Return (All Class 2-Ring Set) *Tooth and Nail (All Class Ring-Amulet Set) *Shared Player Stash File containing copies of all the above items (optional). ================================Installation (Main mod): Extract the contents of this archive (3 folders [locale, pak, scripts]) into your Sacred 2 installation folder. A typical example of the installation folder is C:\Sacred 2 Gold Overwrite all folders and files when prompted. THIS MOD WILL OVERWRITE SOME GAME SCRIPTS! Back up the folders and/or files if you ever think you may want to uninstall this mod. The overwritten files are: surface.txt blueprint.txt drop.txt itemtype.txt iteminfo.txt global.res If you have v1 installed, there is no need to uninstall it first. Simply install v2 and it will overwrite the old files. There will be an extra set of unused (completely harmless) icons in pak\data\icons\items\ that start with the number 14000. They can safely be deleted after installation of v2, but it is not necessary. =================================Installation (Optional Stash File): As of v2 this mod now also contains an optional chest file (chest.sacred2chest) that contains copies of all the items (all level 190-200, Platinum-Niobium). They require installation of the main mod to appear in-game. Be sure to back up your existing chest.sacred2chest file before doing anything! Installing this file will overwrite your Shared tab in your player chest. For XP, it's located in: C:\Documents and Settings\<userID>\My Documents\Saved Games\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2 For Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\<userID>\Saved Games\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2 After you've backed up your chest.sacred2chest file from the above folder, copy the chest.sacred2chest file to your save game directory and restart your game. You can then find the armor in your shared belongings chest. Grab the armor pieces you want and then save your game and exit. You can then restore your normal chest.sacred2chest file to the Sacred 2 folder and restart and continue your game. =================================Compatibility: If you have another mod installed that changes the same files or if you have made any personal changes to the files listed above, they will be lost. This mod is designed to be compatible with the latest Community Patch (currently 1.40hf) and was created using those files. If the Community Patch is updated then this mod will be updated to maintain compatibility. This mod REQUIRES Sacred 2 Ice and Blood with the latest patch (2.65.2.0) plus the latest Community Patch. This mod is mostly compatible with Wardust's Serious Textures mod, so long as Wardust's mod is installed FIRST. Certain changes from Wardust's mod in surface.txt will be lost however, such as shiny armors and fuzzy animals. All other changes will apply correctly. I can make a fully compatible version if requested. This mod incorporates Nighthawk's fixes to drop.txt that increase the drop rate of Mutation sets (for ALL characters). This mod is NOT compatible with Llama Mod. If both mods are installed, whichever one is installed second will overwrite the first. I can make a compatible version if there is enough demand. Currently only English and German versions are supported. The pieces will not have correct names in other languages. Contact me at Darkmatters.org to request a version in a different language. ================================ ================================Development thread and more info:http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/21424-mod-new-dragon-mage-sets-in-development/ Detailed item info and lore is also included in a text file in the download. ================================Thanks to: *Pesmontis for his crucial knowledge and tireless efforts in helping me get this project off the ground and completed, and also for translating the names into German. *Czevak and Dragon Brother for getting me going with starter tips on what files to edit. *LazyTomcat and those who made mods before me so I could follow their example. *Gogoblender and Schot for hosting this mod on Darkmatters.org *Everyone at Darkmatters who has followed the development of this mod and offered support and encouragement. 4 Link to comment

Popular Post Dragon Brother 619 Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 I definitely like the look you chose for this set. Great work! 2 Link to comment
Popular Post gogoblender 3,069 Posted January 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2014 Flix, this topic is just a work of art, the work you've put in astonishes me! When peeps put stuff like this together, it makes me think that imagination can keep Sacred 2 going for a loooooooooooong time. Well done! gogo 2 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Flix, is this mod able to be uploaded to DarkMatters Sacred 2 download section? When I click your download link, I get to the innards of your zip file for google drive? gogo Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 It was too big for the 5mb minimum file size. I could only crunch it down to about 5.11mb. Want to raise the cap? Google Drive is just showing you the list of files in the zip file for info's sake. Click File->Download to get the package. In this day of filehosts with all their ads and waiting periods and limited download speeds Google Drive is godly. 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Regarding making it bigger, for you, yes! I'll fix that with Schot today And, I'm a HUGE fan of google drive, in fact all their products, while I was away in states now, was messing with it, and have fallen in love with google's eco system. Will post back when the size is upgraded gogo 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I 've opened up a temporary portal for you to jet the file through! Can't...hold it open... too long... hurry before it blows! aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... gogo 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Ok...pretty soon this mod is going to be superseded as I add more items...and more than that, the name will change too, to "Flix's Item Mods" or something like that. I don't want it to be stuck named "Draco's Garments of Mutation" when it's really 4 sets and bunch of uniques someday. Can I update stuff like that on the Darkmatters downloads? Also, afterwards can you leave this thread here (or merge them or something)? I'll just put up a link to the "real" DL thread once it's uploaded to DM.

Yah, downloads are always possible to upload, just again upload again to same file, and new one will replace it. Regarding titles, etc, all that can be changed, and I can merge any topics into another, what happens is that oldest topic, is first and newest will come after in that same topic. When you uplload to the downloads section, new topic is automatically made, and I'll merge that into this one here, and you can keep editing this one as you think best. gogo 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 I still can't upload it. Says the file cap is still 5mb. I'm trying to upload it here, with the other CM Patch mods: http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/files/category/20-community-patch/ Weird thing every other section has a 9.77mb cap, and Ice and Blood mods has 99.61mb! Iis that where I was supposed to upload it? It's built on and requires CM Patch though. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hey Flix, sorry about that! Can you try again now? I've delved down a bit deeper into the permissions, it should work now gogo 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Ok I think it went through. I dunno quite how merging work, but whatever you think is best. I mainly didn't want confusion about the name of the mod or external links to this thread broken, but both of those things can be solved, so long as I can edit the leading post. Can you make the thread title "Flix's Items Mod" - that way it won't need to be changed again in the future. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Flix, upload successful! I've merged both the topics. If you want first post to have dif info, you can edit, and is this title okay? gogo 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Thank you Gogo, the thread title is just fine. I updated the first post to have the latest info, so post #14 can be deleted. Link to comment

Flix 5,116 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Updated to version 2. All info and pics updated in the first post. 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 And, updated! And thanks DB for getting that early one too! gogo 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Yes, thanks guys. Updating to a new version went very smoothly. To everyone downloading it: please report bugs here (or the development thread) so I can fix any problems! Aside from Pesmontis checking the scripts there have been no testers other than me. I'm the only one who's been playing it and everything works fine on my system but there could be unforeseen issues so let me know! A good quick way to check if things are ok is by checking the optional stash file (after installing the main files of course). If everything is properly in the stash, then things should be working properly. Edited January 24, 2014 by Flix Link to comment
Pesmontis 166 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 WOOT! Gimme, gimme (downloading)..Ehm, on my HDD, the filename isn't right: "Flix's Dragon Mage Sets Mod v2.zip", I guess it's a typo for a HTML encoded char. (DLd with Firefox 26 on Win7 Ult. 32-bit). 1 Link to comment
Gilberticus 374 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Still same problem, armor is nothing but grey box until I put it on my Dragon Mage. I'm going to have to fiddle, I don't see why it's doing this Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 WOOT! Gimme, gimme (downloading).. Ehm, on my HDD, the filename isn't right: "Flix's Dragon Mage Sets Mod v2.zip", I guess it's a typo for a HTML encoded char. (DLd with Firefox 26 on Win7 Ult. 32-bit). I don't know why the name would show up like that. All I did was type "Flix's" with a normal apostrophe. All things considered it doesn't bother me that much if it doesn't interfere with the function of the mod. Still same problem, armor is nothing but grey box until I put it on my Dragon Mage. I'm going to have to fiddle, I don't see why it's doing this That sounds like the game isn't recognizing the icons. That's exactly the behavior that would occur if they weren't there. I've quintuple-checked the folder paths in the installation folder and they are correct. There should be 72 new icons in pak/data/icons/items So my second guess would be something in the way I saved the new icons was invalid, although they show up fine in-game on my system. I'll send you some generic, untouched icons to try and see if those work. Are the icons still grey boxes when they are put into an equipment slot? Link to comment
Gilberticus 374 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yup, still grey even when I put them on. Something tells me I'm the only one w this problem Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yup, still grey even when I put them on. Something tells me I'm the only one w this problem Don't take this the wrong way, but god I hope so. PM'd you some generic icons to try out. Link to comment
Pesmontis 166 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I had this problem recently with some of my own icons: no matter what I did, the icons wouldn't show up - I was frantically editing the pictures trying to get it right, thought it couldn't be the alpha layer, checked the DDS type again (A8R8G8B8), tried some crazy things.. nothing !Finally, after I put it away for a day or two, I looked again, and it appeared I had forgotten the '0' in front of the itemtype ID..
