If only that were the case; I'm almost never satisfied haha until it's perfect! I have thought about this for more and discovered a pretty fast algorithm for calculating the Levenshtein Distance. It takes at least n (when m==n) and at most (m-n+1)*n steps where m is the larger and n the smaller string's size. That's still O(n^2) in worst case scenario (where m = (1+n)/2), but realistically speaking this should be the fastest I have come up with so far. Will implement soon. And still I can see myself trying to get to O(n+m) with suffix trees in the future, although I must say that I don't know wether it's possible. Suffix trees are complicated, and so are string metrics. I do understand how to construct them, but not how to use them yet. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19368962/approximate-substring-matching-using-a-suffix-tree The downside of this attitude is that I never get anything done, including free time stuff. I wanted to do three things in this two weeks and have not done one of them. Well, that is if you don't count working on this repository as modding. One of these three things was working on Lindor's Mod again, and since I will probably use this repository, one could technically count that. But I didn't work on the items which I initially wanted to do.

Sacred 2 GOLD -> Jewelry I have my baby cross in gold! thats from last week when we were having a heat wave here

classic => Sacred 2 Gold Yes, I'm playing it again!

And...thats the best news... here in our golden gaming years...health..is pretty much everything! gogo

This is a lot of time you've put in, LIndor... this really is what its all about... Art. Everything that real artists do when you're bitten by bugs like this is for that same reason... personal satisfaction... ode to joy. Stephen King can't stop writing books, Flix, Dimitry, desm, Hooyah... nobody on that list did things because it was a job or because there was always a *right* way to do things. That list of generous hearts all came here to hang with friends, and put down what they loved to write about together, coding, translating, story ideas for quests... C r e a t i o n I recognize this easily after 20 years here at DarkMatters, Lindor... you are definitely in that club... Today is a good day for you...your imagination has brought you to to a place that lets you feel... "Dang thats good!' Gratz mah fwend! gogo ps .. however... imaginations a tricky thing... for those fortunate enough to have been blessed or bitten... sometimes...it comes back

Serious looking gun!! Haven't seen a 357 magnum in a while... my head always has the old-school original version running in it... your new one looks like kit from Star Wars! catch shot -> Classic

Hi Amaeth! Always deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeligthful seeing you around and still loving this decades old masterpiece of a game! Don't forget to stop by the DarkMatters Yum Yum Bar for a quick drink and a bowl of poutine while visiting : I'm not a modder, but was able to gather some research, and perhaps this will help other members to post up their info and maybe find solution? The Community Patch 160 (CM Patch 160) is a comprehensive mod , including balance, bug fixes, and quality-of-life enhancements1. While it doesn’t specifically focus on monster density, it provides a solid foundation for your Sacred 2 experience... Amped up! The SuperSpawn feature, which you’ve enjoyed in mods like Diablo 2 Fallen (D2F) and Sacred 2 Enhanced Edition (EE), significantly increases the number of monsters in the game world. Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct way to use the SuperSpawn modules from D2F or EE with CM Patch 160. (or that I've found ) These mods are designed independently, and their codebases may not be compatible for seamless integration. Has anyone attempted to merge them or is it possible? That would probably be where this is going... maybe theres a coder here who could help? In the meantime, different areas, higher difficulty levels, side quests, and especially Arena Battles... have you tried the HellFire Arena feature in D2f?? Gluck! gogo

Did I read correctly, A new version coming. I didn't play sacred for some time cause of work commitment. I may get back into sacred once the new version release. I am moving my whole system over to Linux today so praying game works on Linux.

All tests negative which is very positive. My health-, my work- and my life insurances want me to do and pay a yearly total check once beeing fifty. Also 17 different immunisations.

holster -> catch shot I have a Taurus M605 Poly Protector which is a short barreled light polymer revolver with magnum calibre. It is used to hunt for injured -mainly car collisions- boars in bush land. You have to push twigs away and want to make sure that the revolver is where your fist points in case of a sudden attack. You may have just one shot at point blanc so manstop ammunition is loaded. My holster is to keep the revolver save when walking forests and not used for fast drawing or concealing. I just had to use a revolver 7 times in all these years. I prefer a Saufeder/ boar spear near roads with people.

leather => holster

patent -> leather gogo

trademark => patent

gluck chattius, some of my fam's been getting more of those tests to make sure everythings in line gogo

Hessischer Handkäse -> trademark 💜 gogo

Today: nothing ... Big total routine health check. Special diet for 2 days and one day no food at all - Colonoscopy

The repository is now complete; I have implemented Analyze.exe.

I have implemented my own algorithm by doing some tweaks to the dynamic programming approach from the wikipedia site. I think that I managed to boil it down to O(n+m), but I'm not 100% sure because if I'm correct, then that would be a massive development I could publish in some computer science magazine xD Just look at how complicated the standard O(n+m) approach is with suffix trees: https://brenden.github.io/ukkonen-animation/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9452701/ukkonens-suffix-tree-algorithm-in-plain-english/9513423#9513423 https://gist.github.com/hillscottc/e27f7acbc235f6a3e75d And here am I with my code Intriguing isn't it? However I'm still not quite satisfied yet. Took the Program like 20mins to do the inheritanc of Lindor's mod (because I fixed a lot of spelling mistakes in the books which are MASSIVE strings). I might come back to this later, improve my algorithm or even implement Ukkonen's Algorithm. But for now I'm done. Just need to script the Analyzing exe and all is good. @Flix Do you wish to add D2F to the repository yourself or should I do it? If latter, which mod you think should I best inherit it from? __BASE__, EE or even Addedum? Honestly I'd prefer the former, I bet your hardware setup is like 1000 times faster than mine (which is kinda sad given that I'm becoming a programmer. Really says a lot about the german government's care about education.)

branding -> Hessischer Handkäse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_cheeses_with_protected_geographical_status Protected brand now. Even most people connectit with Frankfurt or Mainz most of it is produced in a small neighbour village of my birthtown Wetzlar.

Excuse me, can some one upload or pint me to download older version before version 1, because all version right now will cause connection lost on single player, at point of the main quest game at orc's land or fighting first dragon boss, at this point talking to any merchant will cause connection lost, only two classes work until main quest completion, shadow warrior and seraphim, the other will connection lost. I have tried all combination with cm patch or without, still the same, I play darkmod. Thanks in advance.

Compared to modern arpg games, imo Sacred 2 is less overloaded and instead a more relaxed experience. At the same time character customization allows for different play styles on each of the classes. I particularly like to experiment with the nuances the skill mods provide, The open world feels purposeful and exploring it actually feels like an adventure, Lastly the dedicated community and the amazing modders and contributors we have are making Sacred 2 really special in many ways (big thanks to all of you! ;) ). I mean if you think about it, isn't it sort of mind blowing that you can for example have a Diablo 2 experience in Sacred 2 with the D2F mod or that the old days online server access got secured and reverse engineered to allow easy multiplayer gaming.

Hello friends, I'm thinking of starting a new character on Sacred 2 Gold + CM160. Having played D2F and EE before I really started to appreciate the monster density provided by the optional SuperSpawn modules provided with each of these mods. Is it possible to just use the D2F or EE SuperSpawn with CM160 to affect monster density or is that inadvisable? Cheers

Well the last release of D2F is still sort of hanging on the return of Dmitriy, for a last few polishing issues in the code, so who knows when that will be. I don't plan on going anywhere, that's for sure. I'll check out whatever you release.

There is actually some supe cool information on the wikipedia as this seems to be a well-known problem in computer science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring And here I am with my O(min(n, m)^4) solution xD

I have implemented and tested that. While this function works perfectly it is also incredible incredible slow for large strings. For 4054639731 I needed to abort because the comparison took too long. It seems I have to make optimizations. we don't need the exact return value, we just need to know wether the strings are "less equal" than a given threshold.
