  1. Hey guys

     

    Anyone know off hand how it's spelled ingame? I'm doing a revamp of the item modifiers page, and I'm seeing this page is actually connected to two spellings

     

    Chance to Pierce

    Chance to pierce

     

    I'll probably have to do a page move, but just wanted to know absolute correct spelling from game if anyone is ingame?

     

    :D

     

    gogo

     

    I pulled that one from the original UK english global.res:

     

    4169456139 Chance to pierce

     

    There is no other variant present.

     

    Anything else? :)

  2. Absolutely, and good idea!

     

    We can actually make a new egg page for it CM patch Eggs

     

    Thanks Czevak

     

    :)

     

     

    gogo

     

    Uh..I don't know yet how many of them will come with coming releases but a new page just for those two now seems overkill. A simple notice like with Kankas Relics should suffice. :)

     

    A prospos sets: There are 4 new Sets in this relase waiting to be found and wikied... XD

  3. so if I understand correctly, to bring it back to the 2.40 version, I have to install that one?

    (because the installer says it can only install the game again with version 2.40)

     

    Don't let the Addon confuse you. In order to install Ice & Blood Addon you indeed need at least Sacred 2 Fallen Angel v. 2.40.

     

    in order to get it functional again:

     

    Un-Install Sacred 2 completely.

    Install Sacred 2 Fallen Angel.

    Patch the Game to 2.40 or 2.43 (You can use the Full-Patch from the Addon DVD)

    Install the Ice & Blood Addon.

    Activate both Games with your Keys.

    Play.

  4. And here it is!

     

    In order to apply to the current season's theme, we prepared a special treat for everyone! ;)

     

    Included in XMAS Ogre's backpack for this release are several entirely new Sets and Items, as well as new Quests and fixes galore!

    (A lot of food for the wiki, let me tell you!)

     

    The Sacred 2 Community Patch Team whishes everyone a merry christmas and a happy time with our latest release.

     

    (Download as always in the first posting of this thread.)

     

    :xmastree:

  5. I used the desktop shortcut the first time, so that's not it, but I'll try the removing thing

     

    I've tried it, and after lots of frustration due do an agonizingly slow computer it still didn't work.

    it says I need to have version 2.40 installed to install the game again.

    so how can I bring it back to version 2.40?

     

    Okay, I don't know what happened there. It could be a Problem with faulty RAM or sth. that scrambles data when writing from it to harddisk but that is guesswork. I would recommend going with wolfies approach and re-install the game. To see what happens then.

  6. I just installed the community patch

    (and before that the 2.65.1.0 UK version)

    and suddenly, when I try to start the game, I have to install the game again.

    but the installer says I'ts not compatible with the installed version.

     

    what's wrong and how can I fix it?

     

    How do you start the game? Do you put in the cd and try to start the game with the Autorun-Menu popping up? - This does not work right. You should start the game with the shortcut from your desktop or the entry in your startmenu of Windows.

     

    You can always remove the CM-Patch with the cm-disable.exe provided in the same .zip file you found the cm-enable.exe. Try this and see what happens.

     

    The cm-patch does not remove anything from your hardrive or registry.

  7. hi has anyone got a unchanged version of the blueprint file please?

    I ajusted mine to do the "officers saber" extra stats+slots and I now cannot get any items to spawn, none from drops and none in any trader type(inc runemasters etc) I can however still get quest rewards.

    Any advice on how to combat this appreciated, thanks :)

     

    You most likely made a syntax error while modding your file. (My guess is you lost a , ) or } somewhere on the way or added an extra one.

     

    I got the unmodded 2.34 Blueprint.txt from my backup folders:

     

    http://czevak.cz.funpic.de/blueprint234.txt (Left Click->Save As...)

  8. By the same logic, why can't a Seraphim use 2H axes? She should in theory be even stronger and more capable than the Shadow Warrior!

     

    I pondered about that too. I tried to make them available to at least the Seraphim, but had no luck so far. There are no animations for her to start with, and even when creating some, she refused to wield it, even modded to have hafted lore etc. I think the restriction is in the source code of Sacred 2 and that is unavailable to us.

  9. Edit: Might be fun to implement attack waves of spiders after some questupdates, like with the attack from the mist in Cursed Forest. We are dealing with a Spiderqueen :dance: Dunno if that is possible tho.

     

    She actually does that. The spider spawning has a high cooldown and regtime but she does repeatedly spawn them if it takes you long to defeat her. (And it will take some time, she is a thoughie. :thumbsup: )

  10. Light path:

     

    Shadow path:

     

    Oh, nice to know, the division into shadown and light in the last part of the series works. :lol:

     

    back to the Book of Kal'Dur. I took barristans very good draft and translated it into german already. I also added some norse flavor by adding a norse string with translation footnote:

     

    A tale of Northern history.

    “By Lumen endowed, by Lumen protected!”

     

    Thorbrand Kaldur, son to lord Magnus Kaldur, lord of the Northern Isle of Ice, was born under the second moon of winter. To his people, this was a sign of coming greatness. Thorbrand would be one of the greatest hero’s they had ever known. To his great misfortune, he was regarded and revered as such already, yet no great deeds had found him yet. Not that he did not look for opportunities. He would embark with his fellow warriors to plague the lands of Artamark time upon time, but to him it seemed he was just one of the warriors. Nothing special! The raids would come and go, the plunder and loot would differ every time, but with every return to his home, Thorbrand’s mood grew darker. How was he to be what was expected of him? Becoming the greatest of his people, when he had nothing to present than some mere loot and tales of victory?

     

    With one of his darker moods, Thorbrand wandered into the Northern reaches of the isle. A savage, uninhabited reach of mountains, plagued by bitter cold winds and only few known places for shelter. He had passed all of those places, when he felt a great storm gathering strength. He cursed into his beard: “Bah! Thorbrand Kaldur, the great ‘hero’ of the Northern Isle, killed in a mere storm! What a tale would that make!” Muttering on, his eyes searched the mountains for a possible hideout, where he could weather the storm. And sure enough, a distance up the mountain he was climbing, he saw what could be a cave. Hard to see, as snowflakes were filling the sky so fast, that he would soon be unable to see anything. Picking up his pace, both to reach safety and stay warm, he hurried up the mountain, knowing that if his eyes had betrayed him, it would be for the last time. A sigh a great relief escaped him, when he reached what was indeed a cave. As he entered, he realized that this was not just a cave. It was not big, but it shone with a blue light. Searching for the source of this light, he found an altar where clearly this light was radiating from. Upon the altar he found an axe so beautiful, that he immediately felt awed. Inscribed upon the handle, in blue letters pulsing with inner light, was: ‘By Lumen endowed, by Lumen protected’ he read, knowing that this was the most special weapon he had ever seen, nor ever would see. A veritable weapon of the Gods!

     

    "Aen lífdagar, aen rata tar sjá øx. Minn vilja elta ar nauðsyn, eða selja réttr jafnaðr!"* he said, as his hand closed around the hilt, never to let go of it in his entire life.

     

    *(“If it liveth, It shall fall to my axe. I shall pursue as needed, and exact rightful punishment!”)

     

    When the storm had subsided, and Thorbrand had returned home with his new weapon, his tale began. Although he noticed that raids, plundering and pillaging where a thing of the past. Wielding this mighty axe, he could do only good. He would wander the lands of Ancaria, searching out those that were in need of help. Nothing could withstand his mighty axe, as it seemed that with every swing, he grew stronger, and his foe weaker. Man and beast fell to his axe. He was even known for slaying the great white dragon of the North. Years upon years had he hunted evil, the axe bestowing him with an unnatural prolonged life, when tales of his heroic deeds were still plentiful, but no longer swelling. No new feats of heroism reached the ears of the people of Ancaria. Thorbrand Kaldur, the greatest hero of all time, was gone, and never seen or heard of again. Although a great many adventurer has gone off in search of his fabled axe, Thorbrand or ‘Kal’Dur’s Legacy has yet to be found again!

     

    I got a friend who can translate to french, but I would need some people to translate this to Italian, Spanish and Russian. :)

  11. Is there any type of AI that makes enemy behavior a bit more interesting? Would go along way to improving the fun factor of the gameplay.

     

    The games AI is somewhat diffuse. You can have a look at behaviour.txt, and the corresponding functions are to be found inside s2logicai.dll. I tried some stuff this way or another but it is a hassle and I don't have that much insight. :4rofl:

  12. How is it cheating?

     

    Maybe because he used a screenshot and made it grayscale with some art filter applied. Well the result is not bad and we might use it if nothing better comes along, but you can see it was not drawn as such.

     

    Hell if I had the time I would probably use it to sketch and ink a bit myself. :)

  13. Heya,

     

    btw, is it possible to include pictures in the books?

     

    Would be nice to add the actual ingame item to it...

     

    Greetz

     

    Yes this is what I had in mind for an ingame book. A bit of fill-up to the great white plains of background to the game.

     

    And yes, it is possible to include pictures in the book.

     

    I would commend that some skilled artist did an artwork sketch (just ink) of the axe or if he is skilled enough and feels like it even of the great norse warrior himself. :P

  14. I would be glad to have a go at writing quests.... Ask me anytime!

     

    Oh I hoped for you to say that. :)

     

    Marcus has some smaller quests that need some missing dialogues filled, maybe he can tell us something about it.

     

    If you are feeling really creative, you might want to think up a new readable book. (I was thinking of implementing one or two of those recently.)

     

     

    However if there are more people around with quest ideas and stories (not necessarily just for Failitia, but in more general terms) I'd quite like to hear about those too.

     

    After all, who is to say we won't go ahead and implement these too. :)
