  1. I had to google Trip Hop first. Sorry. A long and strange musical journey lies behind me.
    Harcore->Death Metal->Black Metal. Went on to Prodigy & Rammstein only to abandon them,
    landed musically somewhere in the baroque-age. Nowadays I´m listening to calm piano- and
    violin-concerts instead of brutal guitar riffs. Sometimes, I ask myself what comes next. (:

  2. Well, I was rather disappointed, to be honest. But I believe that one day things might change. I´m still waiting
    for zerisius´ toolset. Currently, I am stitching ambientspots together, that are sound-placeables.
    Oh, boy. If I could bring new sounds into the game, I´d flood the worldmap with new audio-files. Until then, I´ll
    continue sorting stuff. :Yawn!: Back to paperwork. (:

    EDIT:
    Did someone notice that Ascaron snatched one, two soundfiles?
    I can hear birds from Gothic 1 and several sounds form Dungeon Siege.

  3. Thanks for the insight MetaL.
    It´s good that order has been restored. Toxics can ruin entire communities and turn everything into a s**thouse within weeks.
    I got the intention, that such behavior becomes more and more common these days. Sad. And stupid.

    Speaking of Lifeleech, yes. I got it on the radar. (:
    A good day to you!


    EDIT:
    Am I wrong if I say that Sacred Reborn is done to possibly maybe 20% ?

  4. Hi!
    Yes, Blood Bite is devastating indeed. I used several Ozzy´s to boost it over 100
    points, which lead quite often to one-hit-kills during the night with fully
    charged claws. Ah, good memories. It must have been an early version of Reborn.
    1.12 maybe?

    By the way. Do you plan to team up with other mods? Until today I only was aware of
    Thoriums mod, but there seem to be others. From Russia especially. "Ravenrock" and
    "Faithful". Both look great!

  5. Hey guys!
    I´m sorting soundfiles currently, regard it as a foundation stone
    for upcoming projects.
    Bear with me, 6600 files are waiting to get lined up in a good order.
    The files are numbered in a chaotical way, please watch closely before
    replacing soundfiles.

  6. I can only say:
    Sacred Reborn rules. It is more challenging than the unmodified game, but
    so many stuff was improved, enhanced, rebalanced... it´s a real charm. A shame
    that no one gave feedback since months.

    Speaking of modding, so I remember many ambitious projects, that went down the
    drain, because certain capabilities were either missing, or people were not able
    to work together. For various, mostly rediculous reasons.
    Currently, Sacred Reborn has no visual upgrade, I think it comes in handy.
    Give it a try.

    Maybe, I´m hoping for it secretly, Sacred Reborn and Sacred Ravenrock will unite.
    You can find the some images of Ravenrock here: http://allsacred.ru/
    Just scroll down a bit.

  7. I´m listing up some minor flaws I stumbled across.
    Version is: GOG´s Sacred Gold, latest patch, SRB 2.4


    Error report:
    - Ring of Luck: (all classes, niob) Level- Attribute- and Attack-Bonus loss
    - Dragon Ring: Bonus-XPs granted for all monsters not only for Dragons
    - Horses die sooner or later, when a each-hit-lowers-own-health-build, like Dalmar,
    is used. Drinking health potions has no effect.
    - Some Set-Boni don´t seem to work correctly. Thorwyn: Drain Lifeforce, Recundis:
    Critical Bonus.
    - Spell Resistance doesn´t work against creature spells.

    Misc:
    - Spider Arrow could use some balancing. It´s extremely powerful.
    - Creatures die on Sight is limited to level 100, maybe Creatures die on Sight 1% chance,
    followed by a slow progression, like it is known from the Disarm-Skill, is more useful.


    I´m checking the Vampiress´ spells currently, there seems to be damage-miscalculation, if a
    certain level (115+) is reached.

  8. My take on Horses & Bridles:

    Light Horses deal only small charge damage, while heavy Horses waste their
    Charge-Points very fast. Since enemies have at least 150.000 health and more, it
    doesn´t matter if they take 32 points of Charge-Damage, or 650 points.
    Suggestion:
    - The same, tiny Charge-Damage for all Horses
    - Plus 5-15 Seconds increased Charge-Duration for Horses that require the Riding Skill.
    - Stun-Duration increases by +1 second for Warhorses. (If possible)
    - Speed of 180 for all Warhorses.



    Braggis Bridle of Opportunity:
    ------------------------------
    + 200 to Attack
    + additional 150 points to Fire-Resistance
    + 35% Dex defense vs Ranged
    + 93 Farsight
    - Remove "Trap Flying Opponents"


    Eothrans Bridle:
    ----------------
    + 200 to Attack
    + additional 100 points to all resistances
    + Deflect Root 66%
    - Remove "Spell Resistance"


    Callous Bridle:
    ---------------
    + 200 to Attack
    + 140% to Attack
    + additional 150 points to Magical-Resistance
    + 62 Farsight
    - Remove "Shock Opponent"

  9. My take on the Vampiress

    Hello MetaL

    I greatly enjoyed your modification! Very appreciated! I´d like to
    contribute, but unfortunately I´m not a coder. Maybe this way works
    out too:
    Beeing a Vamp-Player since a long time, I´d like to toss some ideas.
    Choices were made in a reasonable way, to avoid overpowering. The items
    from Wolfe´s Lair are my reference.


    Suggestions:
    ------------
    Fixed daylight-damage:
    I suggest a nasty sunburn-damage during the day, let´s say 5000 points
    if you´ve picked Niobium. It feels so odd to roam the world in Vamp-Form
    during broad daylight.
    The gameplay would become far more challenging for the Vampiress, if she´s
    forced to stay in human form during the day.




    Spallcasting:
    -------------
    Time Control:
    TC became very limited with the new changes of S:RB. I suggest an
    initial range of 5 meters and a bonus of 0,3 meters, coming in with each
    rune

    Master Bite:
    Limited to 25 seconds duration, like Conversion

    Mind Control:
    Limited to 25 seconds, remove paralysis, add poison-like slowdown instead.

    Blood Bite:
    Damage is really low. For those who try to fill up the health-bar by
    by sucking blood after catching some Poisoned Tendrils, this spell
    is of no use anymore. Initial damage 2000 + 200 points each spell level.
    Sound good?

    Blood Kiss:
    Is it possible to lower the enemy´s defense-rate a bit, as described
    in the manual? I´d really be grateful since the Vampiress can´t buff their
    attack-bonus. Spell duration limited to 25 seconds. Blood Kiss available
    for horse combat too, yes? :)

    Awaken Dead:
    Spell limited to 120 seconds

    Bats:
    Can we set the max amount of bats back to 4? Sacred becomes a bit unstable
    with so many bats summoned.

  10. How interesting! The video makes you feel good somehow! I must give it a try while

    Shame on me! I know, I know.

    For the playlist I´m after music that pushes you forward. Ok, Clockwork Orange doesn´t fit at the first look, but give it a try and crush Dragons
    while listening to "Overture to the sun". I suppose you know the movie. (:

  14. Hey guys!

    I´d like to share some nice tricks I stumbled across after quite a while of gaming:

     

    1. How to get a horse of your current Level with best possible speed:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    - Start a new game, don´t save!
    - Head to the place where your favorite horse hangs around usually
    - Buy the horse, mount, move a few meters away, until it respawns
    - Dismount
    - Buy the same horse again, mount & get real close to the Horse-Salesman
    - Dismount
    - Leave the Screen, return.
    - Win!
    - Your last bought horse is now on your current Level with best possible speed.


    2. How to activate the Night Bonus for the Vampiress:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    - Get a single Piece of Annouk (I prefer legs, armor is non-functional) Silver Difficulty
    - Equip it
    - Win!
    - The night lasts now for 1 Hour and 15 Minutes real time.
    PS:
    - Equipping more than 1 piece of Annouk renders the Night-Bonus useless
    - Equipping an additional item with NB, renders the Night-Bonus useless
    - Higher difficulties than Silver are non-functional
    - Runes, blue, yellow and unique items with NB are non-functional.
