With RC4, you might geht a Companion at first. In that case, save and reload. CU Marcus

Can you please post a picture of your mods/cm-patch folder? CU Marcus

Have a look at the additional files (pictures) inside the download folder and pay attention to the highlighted issues. ModEnabler.jpg: Left side of the ModEnabler shows available MODS, right sides shows installed MODS. Sacred2 Directory.jpg: ModEnabler and MODS folder should be placed here. The text file shows the CMP Version. Sacred2 Ingame.jpg: On the bottom of the screen version, build, language and CMP version is shown. Sacred2 locale Directory.jpg: Without installed Mod only your language is shown. With the Mod installed, 10 subfolders for 10 languages are present. Sacred2 MODS Directory.jpg: The Subfolder CM-Patch should contain the content of the downloaded zip. CU Marcus

http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=1076 Release Candidate 2 is uploading. Wikiupload is not available at the moment, so I decided to share a folder of my google drive. Items will stay with all properties, but they will look a little different now as we fall back to original data from S2FA. CU Marcus

The MODhas to be installed in top of CMP 140. Make sure that - sacred 2 is properly installed (of course) - cmp 140 installed and shows in menu screen - Modenabler installed in sacred 2 directory - mod 150 unzipped in MODS subfolder - enable the mod; Version should show in main menu screen CU Marcus

CM-Patch_v0150_RC1.7z should be 93.401.042 Bytes MD5: 479B151F554B848B4FC1725B5144B466 SHA-1: 5F9D95D16246AB20DC2D42133386490008FC41BE SHA-256: BFA359862797B9630AFA278F5C0AC74E1B25E263B35865F868AA443EBF70A049 CU Marcus

Try to open the file with 7zip wherever you saved it. If it opens, it is not damaged at least. If not, repeat the download. Then unzip the file in your "my files" folder. Then try copying the New subfolder into your sacred2/mods folder. CU Marcus

http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=1076 The first Release Candidate is built as MOD and needs testing: - all Items of Item Mod 1.2 - New quests - Old quests, even the Mainquest Look for - NPC that doesn't move as expected - Translation errors Issues: http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/changelog_page.php CU Marcus

Status for V0150: - Items are integrated and working, but some copyright issues have to be clarifierd. http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=1101 - Elite-Mounts still missing http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=836 http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/21808-elite-mounts-project/ http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=719 (There are only a few IDs for quests left, so it should be a simple one) - Three new quests: "Ancaria Airlines" (just a gimmick), "Shattered Souls" (reaktivated) and "The wrong path" (Idae by bughunter) http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=161 http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=1037 http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=573 Two big topics about V0150 from my side: - Common base for all global.res of all 10 languages. I tried to eleminate unused tags and translated missing ones - correcting a script issue: wrong-written scripts work most times, but not all times http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=1109 CU Marcus

I'm looking for some people to translate the items from the Mod into french and spanish. Any volunteers? Please register on the bugtracker and let me know. CU Marcus

V0146 is available Form the same source and integrates the Item Mod 1.1. Still for tesing purposes only. Translations are not complete but ongoing. CU Marcud

V0144 is a version designed for testers. It integrates the community patch mod. Because of the new stuff there's a warning that you will lose these items if you switch back to V0140. CU Marcus

A few comments from my side: - We're building the Patch with a similar product like Ascaron did before. - Even the old patches were sometimes flagged as trojans. - The updater can be renamed or even deleted, that won't stop the game from working. - I myself prefer to exclude the Sacred2 directory from being scanned by my AV product. - During the patch process also ZIP files are altered. Some AV realtime scanners try to open and read the ZIP Düring this procedure. This lead to corrupt files in the past and will do so in the future. - After all, patching is a similar process to infecting. Files are being altered and inserted. Sometimes changes are made to the registry. The only difference is the intention. CU Marcus

Wolfie created a thread in our bugtracker: http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=1065 We'd like to have a look at the chinese global.res or some translations to integrate chinese into out toolchain. Especially pesmontis will need this to adapt his s2rw tool. Wie need translations in Windows' Unicode Text Format. CU Marcus

They were included in a previous version, but the content was only "Coming soon..." as we didn't finish translation in time. Now the books should show the correct content, so you can actually read the story. Correct. The initial problem was "Ancient Secrets". The quest sends you from the seraphim island back to the highelf area, so all enemies were way too easy to fight. So it's just the maxlevel of the areas that was removed. Depends... there were only a few reactions to V0136 and v0138, so the interest is getting less by the time. That's quite normal for a four-year-old game with a follow-up in sight. On the other hand: There are a few ideas and things to be done noticed in our bugtraker. But e.g. creating a new boss from scratch is of course way more time-expensive than placing an existing NPC as a boss on the map. So things get more and more difficult to handle. I myself only have got a few things to check "in general", some translation fixes and maybe some quest errors, but nothing big in sight. So from my point of view a V0150 is quite possible, but there won't be bigger changes anymore. CU Marcus

http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=937 closed. No problem found, see screenshots.

Not yet. I'm waiting for some translations and fixing some minor bugs in the meantime, and czevak / LT are working on some 3D-texture-issue that became more tricky than expected. I'll guess we have a "duked" release date: "When it's done" ;-) But V0136 is available on the bugtracker for testing. CU Marcus

Hi folks, unlike the previous test versions, this time anyone who has an account on our bug tracker can download and try the latest trial version: http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=921 (Download from rapidshare) For this, however, you must use the ModEnabler, because we can not create a patch for each trial version. In addition, you can participate: I would like to install two images in the log book, one of the Dreamweaver from Sacred 1 and one of Shelob. It already works, but the pictures won't fit... Examples: Dreamweaver: http:// http://www.sacred-handbuch.de/extras/sets/seraphim/Bilder/TraGes.JPG Shelob: http://danielgovar.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/shelob.jpg http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=694 If you want to experiment, do as follows: The images must be in TGA format with alpha channel Black and white (white = clear) is recommended The files are in the subdirectory pak\data\icons\pixmaps of your Sacred 2 installation, you may need to create the subdirectories from data on The files must be named "Dreamweaver.tga" and "shelob.tga" Enjoy CU Marcus

Yes, but that one is disabled, so there is no problem right now. It's already fixed and everything will be fine with V0140. Release unknown by now, but we're back and working on it. CU Marcus

Got that as http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=937 Can you tell me the version number displayed in the main menue, please? CU Marcus

Got thet one as http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=811 CU Marcus

http://www.frankrentmeister.info/mantisbt/view.php?id=740 Don't hurry, this takes lots of time. CU Marcus

Mutations sets are not rare, they are not very rare, they are extremely rare! They are also extremely powerful because of their >30 sockets The "Ancient Secret" quest is only one small job to get those 4 books - a fifth one can be found elsewhere. They will tell an interesting story from Ancaria's past, but by now they are not ready. Someday one of the coming patches will deliver that story. CU Marcus

Difficult. I think this relates on the hireling-behaviour. If we change this it will effect the whole game. I tried to fix the hirelings not to commit suicide that often this way, but I decided to create two new behaviours for hirelings and changed the references that are used in the quests. Changing these base behaviours is not a good idea. I can only change the references for quest-related hirelings, but not for summoned ones. So this is a dead end by now. CU Marcus

It works if your target is only one level away. I.e. if you are on the surface and your target is on de 2nd underground level, you'll get that misleading circle. In these cases - for example the "Ancient Secrets" quest - an additional target on the first underground level is built in, so the compass and the circle will guide you from one checkpoint to the next.
