Sacred 2 Enhanced Edition

regarding the High Elf's inability to use the Incandescent and Crystal Skin buffs in conjunction, is that reversible?

Yes, it can be done. By simply renaming the Incandescent Skin into, hmm, Incandescent Emanation, the perceived illogic of using these buffs in conjunction is gone. However:

1) The concept of two non-compatible aurae is interesting and well executed in this case. Unlike the Seraphim, where it's actually an annoyance.

2) The High Elf still has her Fire aspect Buff. That means she can have three buffs at a given time.

3) A combined highly light-reflective Crystal Skin fx and highly light-emissive Incandescent Skin fx is not looking good. It's like looking at a diode lamp.

and .... em personal opinion, I just thought the temple guardian doesn't look quite right without a cannon on his left hand.

Can we give him a shorter but bigger weapon for his right hand?

The sword is way too long and looks a little awkward on a very thin frame.

It might look perfect if the pet is a little bit bulkier though.

Alright in 2.4 he'll have a more appropriate sword.  I'm working on some of the Seraphim changes too.

@Flix I guess no one would mind a cap of 90% for Damage Mitigation?

Given the calculation code, the easiest thing would be to set the cap to 90% for the mitigation and to 100% for the prone.

I'm all for it.  It would be akin to the resistance capping in games like Diablo 2, Titan Quest, & Grim Dawn.

Wow, might be shorter to list what WASN'T affected.  :lol:  That's astounding.  It looks like it will make Aspect Lores indispensable for almost any build.  Not a bad thing, I think.

Can you explain this?  Were you able to add to the list at the bottom of spells.txt as opposed to replacing entries?

Could we cap it at 80%, 90% seems a little bit OP.

That's really cool!!!

Is there a chance we could have a tech helmet?

Hello everyone, been browsing darkmatters for some time now, for a lot of helpful and useful guides and tips, registered to download this mod as it looked like something that is too good to pass by. Haven't played Sacred 2 without it but atm playing a dryad and everything looks nice and good, so firstly, thank you for a great job. Now, when I was kinda planning on my build, I wanted to make a ranged bow dryad, so I found the Tangled Vines CA, which looked very useful to me to CC all the stuff and then shoot them at range. Just got the golden mod on it today, the extended range, and as far as I can tell, it's um, a very little increase? On the first page I haven't found any changes to this CA from this mod, nor from the Manual that was around page 35 or so here. On the CA itself in-game, it lists the increase in range as 40%, which seems accurate, since I only ever manage to root 2 mobs standing quite close to each other, super rarely 3. Was this change made in the Community Patch and is working as intended, and the 400% from the wiki page was considered too much? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding something, rather new to Sacred 2 in general :)

A couple days back I've introduced the Sacred 1-like mechanics for item modifiers(they now affect spells) - that allows spell-casters to make good use of the Blacksmith skill, as well as making gear useful for spell-casters, without them having to learn the appropriate weapon, or armor lore skills.

The lore skill token table now gives Sacred 2 something, that S1 doesn't have(as well as D2 to an extent) - a reasonable-level equipment independence for the spell-casting builds. It matters not, whether you have that specific unique, or set item. You should still be able to reliably eliminate the opposition.

Yes, that's correct. I've found a few unused tokens in the code, renamed them and then added as new tokens to spells.txt

Technically, yes. Thing is, there're several elites and bosses, that use make use of  >100% mitigation bonus(so as to show their affinity to their element, like poison). Hmm, guess 85% is a compromise.

So then, the mitigation is capped at 85%, prone is uncapped.

Hello!  Thanks for trying the mod. 

It actually is a 400% increase in range, it's just that the base range is so small, the practical effect is not as much as it sounds.  It does continue to scale with CA level though, so you can root an entire mob eventually.  I'll consider increasing the effect of the modification in EE 2.4.  It sounds like I put "40%" in the in-game tooltip by mistake.

Thanks, Silver Fox made that sword, I think it's a good fit. 

I think I'll stick with his current helmet; I like that his eyes glow with T-Energy.

This is what I put together for the Sublime Guardian:

If you take "Instill Belief" mod:

If you take "Guardian's Wrath" mod:

I've also changed the spell she casts from Archangel's Wrath into an instant beam attack, similar to Baneful Smite.

Thank you for a quick reply and clarification. I thought it was a bit strange since almost all the other CAs in your mod (for the dryad at least) do scale and on this one it just says 40% without any % increase with levels, so I thought well, it's either great or superbad, and decided to try it out. In any case I will try to pump it up a bit and see when I can achieve notable difference :)

Maybe it would be cooler if one version is more 'warrior' focused, equiped with the mutation set with better stats on melee.

Another aspect is more magey....... we could give her Heavenly Justice with more of a focus on magic so she casts her spells more often....

And I thought perhaps we could give her a headband or something that doesn't cover her hair, seraphim looks best with her blonde hair.

Here are some nominations for headband.

The succubus is a great company to have, thanks  @Flix for your amazing work!!

Yet she is way too serious.

Could we have one with a more relaxed look?

I also found out that her skin is a little bit oily.

(Black and white mixture that looks painterly?

Sorry I'm not an artist, I dunno how to describe it)

I took a screenshot though.

PS: Could we have her armor texture rivaling that of the inquisitor's? (Lots of details)

I really like the improved version of his outfit from EE!!  Thanks again Flix!!

If her wings are a little bit higher,  she might look a little bit more imposing?

Sadly the Seraphim model when used as an NPC is bald. She has no hair, and the mechanics to add it are unique to the playable characters, hence the helmet.

Hmm? While I've never checked this one, do you state, that hair%ditemtype works for hero types only?

Yes indeed, I've mentioned in passing when I was revamping the Black Seraphim some time past.

The "hair1Itemtype" etc. lines in creatureinfo.txt don't have any effect except for the 7 playable heroes.

Even if the same itemtype is used (for example "1" for the Seraphim) hair still won't work on NPC's.

Just to be certain, the FLAG_HASHAIR is present on the NPC in question, yet there's no hair?

Yes without a doubt. I've been working around this annoyance for quite some time with D2F.

Just as an example this is Failitia from the CM Patch:

newItemType = {

	renderprio   = 0,
	family       = "FAMILY_CREATURE",

	weargroup    = "WEARGROUP_NPC_ONLY",
	-- 3d model + animation info
	model0Data = {
	  name         = "models/heroes/seraphim/c_sera_skin.GR2",
	  user         = "WEARGROUP_INVALID",
	},
	-- logic bounding box
  logicBox = {
    minx=-9.623, miny=-8.72, minz=0.12, 
    maxx=12.52, maxy=13.248, maxz=72.018, 
	},
	dangerclass   = 0,
}
mgr.typeCreate(13238, newItemType);

newCreatureInfo = {
  type         = 13238,
  walkSpeed    = 50,
  runSpeed     = 130,
  fightDistMin = 12,
  fightDistMax = 16,
  gender       = 3,
  agegroup     = 3,
	validEquipSlots = "EID_WEAPON_R + EID_WEAPON_L + EID_SHIELD_L + EID_HELMET + EID_SHOULDER + EID_CHEST + EID_ARM + EID_HAND + EID_LEG + EID_BOOT + EID_WINGS + EID_BELT",
	defaultSMType = SMT_DEFAULT,
	behaviour     = "WildAnimal",
  hair1Itemtype = 73,
  hair2Itemtype = 0,
  hair3Itemtype = 0,
  hair4Itemtype = 0,
  hair5Itemtype = 0,
  hair6Itemtype = 0,
  tailItemtype  = 0,
	dangerClass   = 0,
  weight        = 80,
