Long time no see! I feared that cov19 took you after you have, all of a sudden, stopped posting in both forums. Speaking of painful experiences, I can quite understand the frustration are talking about, but why dont you run a loose coorperation with Dimitrius and Flix? Also, I have asked myself, how many people have have tried your multiplayer solution already? Youtube shows only little results, so either the players did not record the session, or.. well yeah, the interest is rather low. Btw, have I seen you before? Your choice of words looks familiar to me. Lets see: A golden retriever is sitting in the office. Does it ring a bell?

Mmh. I just asked myself what kind of modder you are looking for. Olks do the coding, Ruddick handles models and textures. Let me take a guess: You want.....lets seee.....A soundset for your spider mount?

No, I dont think so. xrystal is a fluent english speaker, so is zerisius, the starter of the discord group. The discord invitation links from zerisius can be found on gog and steam, on the first page of the forums. He renews them frequently. The next option would be to contact Alby87 here or on gog. He wrote a multiplayer tool for Sacred 1 and is using xrystals Sacred domain. I assume, he can contact xrystal via mail or so. http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/59576-sacred-ancaria-connection-play-sacred-1-without-any-vpn-community-server-opened-too/ Conspiracy theory: Fact is: xrystal bought the domain it back in the day, but nowadays the rights of the franchise belong to THQ Nordic. Maybe they have send him a friendly mail to stop right now, or else...

Since xrystal is not active anymore, neither here nor in the german forum, your best bet is to find him on discord, where he is a member of the german sacred community. His german avatar is called lain, just in case that you cant find the avatar xrystal.

Relax. There are more of them. You will stumble into them after a while :) But what angers me is that the studio sold three times an unfinished product, Sacred, Sacred Plus and Sacred Underworld, 30 bucks each, and was bold enough to move on to the next product, Sacred 2, without even roughly fixing the first one. As soon as money started to roll in, there was no holding back anymore. Surf the wave as long as possible, mooch off as much money as you can and dont look back. A good example for a nasty and totally ruthless economist build. Well yeah. We all know the ending. A few years later, Mister Big drove the studio against the wall. Head on.

All hail to the new moderator! Lets roll!

You really should put the pencil aside, stop doing the paperwork and go back to sacred again. What do you think? It is not expensive and costs just a few bucks on gog.

Good point. But it is not over yet. There are a few bigger obstacles in the way, which prevent a successful leap forward, but we are not in a hurry. Those who play sacred now will still play it in five years.

I think there were two teams who worked at sacreds rpg elements. The serious guys who tried to implement a little roleplay, possibly maybe the rpg team Ascaron has swallowed, and the team who has never worked with rpgs before. It acted like a turtle, which has been turned on the back. Both results are clearly visible. There is a guy who has written an editor for Sacreds text files. I am hoping for a release.

Hello neighbour! The whole unmodified game is a huge pile of bugs. To stumble into something strange is nothing special. But overall you can say that the game wants you to win. However. I would suggest to play the game for a while so that you understand the regeneration mechanics a bit better. You have found wolfes lair already, thats good, check the wiki too for more info. As soon as you got the feeling that you are ready, move on to the reborn mod.

Cheers and nice find, bud!

Please forgive my interruption. Flix, are you going to leave? Hopefully not.

Sweeeet! Great concept art too! LL will rock!

Good day! You might look for SevPoots who is making Character skins for Seraphim especially. Just ask, he seems to be a nice guy. Link: https://sevpoots.wordpress.com/author/sevpoots/ Letting the Seraphims wings disappear is, afaik, only possible as workaround. Get the PaK-Extractor, find the texture, delete it and save the blank file in Sacreds PAK-folder. Et voilá! The wings are gone, but the shadow remains intact. LinK: http://www.mediafire.com/file/h43bcppuu7t46yr/sacred_tex_extractor.zip/file To swap sound files you will need Sacred NL, which creates a full sound list. Maybe the maker sends it to you without the entire mod. Link: http://www.sacred-nl.necropol.sumy.ua/html/download/InstallOrder/installorder.php After you got your hands on it, simply rename the soundfiles and put them into Sacreds PAK folder. A full character soundset is quite large and most likely, everything is named in german. Also, it is possible, that the soundfiles arenŽt named in a reasonable way. It could be a lot of work to get everything in a good order. Just saying. After that you will need the russian PAK-Extractor to unzip the sound.pak. Hint: Hit Tab to make it work. Link: http://forum.rpgarea.ru/sitefiles/PakExtractor.rar The user ALK has uploaded the sound.pak in various languages. It adds quite some mojo to the game. Link: http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/30914-sacred-underworld-voices-pak-ger-eng-rus-ita-esp/ As for the site, as you can see, the most action takes place in the Sacred 2 forums, Sacred Underworld guys have moved on mostly to various discord servers. You also find large chunks of the Sacred Underworld community on Youtube where the guys run various channels.

I am aware of you videos. Keep it coming. The game could use some more lovin.

It wont be that easy but there is a workaround possibly maybe that can be done by yourself in a day or so. Possibility one is to use a chest armor without texture or with changed colors. Search for Warrior_Armor_Krotenhaut for example. You can cut the texture out and save it for an invisible chest piece or edit the texture as you see fit. Problem is that a single file gets re used several times by the game. The newly created armor will be, I think so, worn by you enemies too. Possibility two is to edit an other chest piece, a set item in this case, in the way you see fit. Enemies do not wear set pieces usually so the newly created armor will be worn only by you. Just look for texture files starting with glad... Possibility three is to wait until the end of time.

The pvp session was simply meant to be a demonstration, so that you can see for yourself. Nothing else. But you have solved the riddle already. Some players rather like farming and visiting the hero caves, like you for example, others give the game a normal run, like me. I survive the crab queen cave if I move carefully, same for the desert cave. I never survived one of the dragon caves, I get flame broiled too often. Since you seem to play the vampire too, just as me, maybe you can tell me in a few words where is the fun to use incredible strong summons?

Well to see that the two pak techniques are pretty strong. And in this case you would be the only player in a pvp session. It is a matter of a few minutes to set everything up. To find finally a common line, can we say that it is in the end the modders fantasy you roam by playing his mod? I think yes. Alright then. I have to go back to Timberton now and look for better gear. A good day to you.

Good day. I get your point. The difference between the makers view and mine is possibly maybe that we play the same game in different ways. As I mentioned before I was never after crazy builds or to discover hidden game mechanics. Does not apply to me. I can waste some time in the desert or around Timberton for example. (I like it there) We spoke mainly about the deflection techniques, sorry it was not expressed that well from my side, which grants near immunity vs ranged and magic attacks. At least in the current version, 4.0. MetaL offered balancing already, but since I played the character just for a few hours, I said it is better to listen to someone else who is longtime player. Also I am not a hardcore player, as mentioned above. However, I got a challenge for you. Get Lindors character pack with maxed heros here in the download section. Pick Wood Elf for example. Now, start multiplayer, PVP session, and try to kill an unarmed Dark Elf, no gear allowed, but PAK 1 and 2, level 255, active. Let me know how it went.

Mmh. I am not a hardcore player too. I get well through reborn, but I was never interested in exotic builds like dragon-kwob, max damage possible or so. Forget the tossed ideas. I am rather after such things.

Good day. Of course it is not possible to survive boss encounters using pak 1&2, afk or not, but it makes the game much easier. For example, I used the character, displayed in the screenshot above and you wouldnt speak of a reasonable build here, to roam the dryad forest in randomly bought white gear. Usually a place where the player has to move more carefully. I survived and it was a lot of fun. Sorry, the screens are not very well made. I was in a hurry and edited the post several times over a few hours. As you can see on the screenshots, 233% regen, caused in this case by Ethan Rys Blade, leads to an incredible drop of 200 seconds regeneration time. I double checked it with other items to make sure it is not a glitch, caused by Ethan Rys Blade... no. Its true. Now imagine additional 4 Dragon Rings + 4 Siridans Shiny Ring, plus Warriors Guardian and so on. An unstoppable fighting machine (in the current version.) But after all the whole argument is useless. It is the player who decides how he wants to play the game. Some want to be rampagers, invincible fighting machines, others prefer to be challenged a bit more. If I look back now, all changes of the previous versions were reasonable made, ok, except Time Control. The new Dark Elves put up a good fight, so dont mind me. Just go on. Speaking of feedback, I do not see much of it, at least not in latin letters using parts of the internet. Sad. Why is that? Well, internet of today maybe? Who knows, but there are definitely people who are interested in modding, but leave due to low feedback or missing answers. I can waste time and energy now and try to get people at one table again. The first try was a total fail,then I talked to zerisius, how is he doing btw, who tried to do the same thing. He failed aswell. Last try. I will upload screenshots two times a week maybe. Each time I link the tools I am aware of. For pure motivational purpose. Those who have questions, ask and I will answer as good as I can. Those who want to start working... grab the tools ans lets rock! And those who dont want... well, its ok too. Maybe later. Regard it as an open invitation.

Good day. I understand you. Really. There are other users here I have offered a test run already, but these were times before things became a bit more complicated all of a sudden. The only solution is, as MetaL suggested already, a complete cut. Replacing the missing key elements will be unpleasant, it will take a lot of time. No need to loose faith, but I can say, under such conditions, nothing about a release date. Spring or summer next year perhaps. To give you the possibility to visualize the whole thing, just imagine that you would rip the southern wall out of your house.

Good day. I made it a while ago along with another person. We had... different opinions, maybe. Since I am using the persons work, the current state is unclear. I will not upload it. Sorry to disappoint you. But what I can do is to upload some screenshots, showing the whole thing. I was hoping anyway to make people more interested in modding the game.
