DaveO 88 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Unfortunately for the items I described in the SSI games, they were very minimal for graphics. There was never a representation of what they would look like. Link to comment

Popular Post Flix 5,117 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2014 All items is great but I have some ideas of armor and weapons Then post them. I've moved on to other projects from the Items Mod, except for working on compatibility patches following the release of the next CM Patch. But the Items Mod is never finalized, and we might get some old friends back to work on it in the future. 2 Link to comment

Ironwill 135 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have an idea. Unbended and the failure of Sacred 3 has brought a lot of new people here recently. I've only been here since.... January 2013, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, I don't believe I've ever seen a contest here during my short stay. Would it be stupid to have a contest concerning best new concept art for new armor and weapons? The winner could get.... I don't know, maybe one of those skulls or tomb stones in Unbended you guys are always talking about. Or maybe our modders could put the winning armor/weapon in game and name it after the winner. If I'm not mistaken, it's one thing to alter existing skins, but to introduce brand new weapons or armor means you have to have access to that global.res thing, but I'm not sure, and I'd rather not rehash that whole conversation yet AGAIN this month. Anyway, that's my idea. To be honest, I'm totally content with the amount of armor and weapons we already have, but I love contests and seeing fresh new artwork, especially when it comes to weapons and armor. you should also e-mail this to info@unbended.de but I dont think they will accept it Link to comment
Flix 5,117 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 This is a big week for the Community Items Mod. Yesterday we had the release of the Community Patch v1.50, which now includes the whole of the Items Mod! That's right, now if you have the latest CM Patch you no longer need to download the Items Mod 1.2. Huge thanks to Marcus and Czevak for agreeing to add in the mod to their project and making it happen (pretty painlessly). There IS one thing I want to note though. The new items developed from Torchlight and Titan Quest had their models changed for the CM Patch (for copyright reasons). So you will still have the items under CM Patch 1.50, but you may notice the designs are changed. So I'm releasing a small patch to restore the intended designs for these items. The patch also fixes a texture issue I just noticed with some new High Elf armor. Item Mod 1.2a Hotfix This is a small mod that is designed to be installed on top of Sacred 2 Gold + CM Patch 1.50. Features:1) The mod restores some item designs that were present in the CM Items Mod 1.2 but were removed for copyright reasons when the mod was integrated into the CM Patch. This mod restores their unique designs. Without this mod the items will use generic item models from Sacred 2 (but will still function). The items are: Torch of Light Axe-Bot 2525 Forgotten Technology Spear of the Dryads The Catalyst The Iron Knight Earthshaker Soulflay Fork 2) The mod also contains a hotfix for an issue with the leg armor of the new Frozen Gems set, which flash and glow due to a script error. The error is corrected with this mod.Installation: 1) It's always best to install Sacred 2 mods with the Generic Mod Enabler (GME). It can save a lot of headaches and frustration. Get it free at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Generic-Mod-Enabler.shtml2) Install the GME into your Sacred 2 root folder and run it once.3) Place the "Item Mod 1.2a Hotfix" folder into the MODS folder created by the GME. 4) Use the GME to activate this mod. Item Mod 1.2a Hotfix Download This means the Item Mod 1.2 DarkMatters downloads are now outdated. I'll update the DM download soon so that it's just the hotfix. If we ever update to 1.3 or beyond of course it will be updated on there as well. 1 Link to comment

Thorin Oakshield 260 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I thought I did, but then, I've been through some rough times lately and have forgotten about a lot of things. Never meant to be disrepectful. So yeah, I'm pleased to have found it. Now I'm aiming at "Eugene's Axe" for this guy and the Sereish - set for my seraphim. Thorin 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Silver_fox 397 Posted November 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2014 Greetings to everybody who still watches this thread. I just wanted to say that I'm alive, that I'm back to DarkMatters and that I'm working on the Item Mod again. Back when we called for v1.2 release, I had quite a bunch of items in the works, so now I'm planning to finish the ones that did not make it into the previous release as well as to work on some new ideas and suggestions. That being said, and because it's better late than never, I wanted to show you the preliminary implementation of idea suggested by SX255. It's preliminary because I wanted to apologise for taking my time with this hat, and to customize the item exactly to SX's liking. Would you prefer your hat in dusty brown, or some other color scheme? Do you have a name for it and/or a list of preferred item modifiers? If you don't care about particulars, I'll come up with something. I just thought it won't be nice of me to make you wait so long and then deliver something different from what you want to see. The other suggestions are also worked on, for example you can expect to see more items re-created from Sacred 1, more of Titan Quest items suggested by Flix (some shields for sure, probably short swords and axes too), new scythes and other things. For those who are interested in the fate of the Elite Mounts - Mounts are a big project that takes way more time to finish than the items. And since it's better to release something than nothing at all, I want to clean up the half-finished items off my plate before returning to work on the Mounts. If I have enough time to work on both projects at the same time, I'd do that, otherwise I prefer to start with the smaller one. 4 Link to comment

The old dusty brown explorer hat is finaly going to be in the game! Never realy thought about it as a unique - whished it was a regular item drop with 3 texture colors and random generated stats. But since that is probably not a good solution, I would call it "The Kruger" - a refrence to Freddy Krueger and Anubis "Doggie" Cruger. For stats - Battle Extention bonus. P.S. We missed you.

Popular Post Silver_fox 397 Posted November 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2014 Never realy thought about it as a unique - whished it was a regular item drop with 3 texture colors and random generated stats. I actually thought about it - the game has 4 color variations of the adventurer's hat, so there can be a unique and 3 randoms. The only possible issue is that every new design requires a new itemtype ID. Itemtype IDs are limited and there are only about 400 of them left. On one hand, that's quite a lot, seeing how the previous versions of the Item mod used up only about 200. I don't think I'd have enough patience to provide you with twice as many new designs as the mod brought in already. On the other hand, itemtypes are used for pretty much everything in this game, so with very few free IDs there won't be much room for integrating other mods. So this question is more to Flix than me - can we spend itemtypes on random variations or it would be better to leave more room for other mods? By the way, that's an interesting suggestion for the name. I never knew about the Doggie character, but he fits the theme, being superheroic humanoid dog and all that, and Freddy Krueger is always pictured in a hat and wields a clawed glove, making a connection between the hat and Battle Extension bonus. 3 Link to comment

Flix 5,117 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I like multiple hats. 4 itemtypes instead of 1 isn't going to cause any problems. It is true though, itemtype ID's from 14000 and above don't seem to work, and we're in the 13600's now. We may have to be selective in the future. But for now, and for this idea especially, I like the 4 hat idea. Edited November 14, 2014 by Flix 1 Link to comment

Dremorius 1 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hello everyone, my name is Daniel, I'm 3d artist who loves Sacred 2. I work in 3DS max, Zbrash, Maya and so on. I thought it would be a good idea to bring something new to the game, new sets of armor, weapons and so on, but I had difficulty in understanding the import and export files ... frankly I'm too lazy to deal with it all, English is not my native language and it is very difficult to understand some phrases. But despite this I still want to work on Sacred 2 ...I want to ask for help from those who can convert the model from the game in an acceptable format for working in 3DS max. If someone is interested, please write, I can not wait to start cooperation)) Link to comment

If someone is interested, please write, I can not wait to start cooperation)) Hi Daniel. I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm. As I recall you had been having a conversation with Pesmontis about how to handle gr2 files. He shared his tool "grnreader" and posted several tips for you in this thread: Tutorial - Importing and Exporting GR2 Models Did that not work out? Now, I know if I can use it to import gr2 files into 3DsMax and edit them (with my limited experience), then an experienced 3D artist like yourself should be definitely be able to work it out. Pesmontis is on a break from Sacred 2 modding, but Silver Fox is currently pulling 3D model duty for the CM Items Mod. If you want to post your questions in this thread, he or another modder might be able to help you learn. If you want to contribute something to the Items Mod, then it might help if we knew if you were serious about creating something. Do you have any ideas about what you'd like to make?
