Welcome to DarkMatters!

 

Very well done on getting your high elf to Gold!

 

Now then... these items. I'm not familiar with these items.. Having uploaded the bulk of the stuff available for Sacred 2, I'm familiar with most of the more esoteric (I.e. hard to find items) and the stuff that was (for whatever reason) removed from the game by the developers. None of these ring any bells.

 

And with a name like Co'Nahn - I think I'd would remember since it would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb.

 

Do you have more information on these pieces? Are they part of a set? Which class are they for? Co'Nahn's sounds like a Shadow Warrior piece.

Welcome aboard!

 

Here are the wiki pages for those items Wolfie:

Rendal's Ruse

Nishinku's Bracers

Co'Nahn's Chestguard

[Gilberticus 374]

I have Rendal's Ruse, but I don't think I've EVER found the chestguard. I don't think I've seen half of the uniques on that page, I'm going to have to be more careful about scrapping non-set/unique items

[Flix 5,116]

I'm not sure why but unique armor pieces seem to be soooo rare compared to set armor pieces of the same item tier. As you can see they're so rare even experts of the game haven't even heard of some of these pieces. I was playing with a HEAVILY altered balance.txt for testing purposes, and while set armor was dropping like candy, unique armor pieces still took "a while" to drop by comparison.

[Navaros22 0]

Well, they drop in the Ice & Blood expansion. I dont suppose you could upload a copy of Rendal's Ruse Gilberticus. Ive been farming the expansion into extinction. Still no luck ;p

[Gilberticus 374]

I only have a level 50.

[Navaros22 0]

That will still work, if you dont mind. ^^ Im using a level 40 mace with + 6 CA + 6 All skill, when socked. Ill take what I can get, if your willing to load it ^^

[Flix 5,116]

I have all three, but about twice your level. I think. I lost some items during testing my mod, but I wasn't too worried about it at the time because I didn't "deserve" them (due to heavily altering the balance).

[Navaros22 0]

Darn. I only get one unique item to drop on Ice and Blood every 7 hours so far. And its only weapons. Not sure if Its EP, but its at 128... I might have to just get items with find. Ill try that next.

[Gilberticus 374]

I also have no clue how to do that. I know how to upload files to the site, I don't know how to send a save file to an individual person

[Navaros22 0]

Ummm. You compose a message, and attach the Shared.Chest file from your saves to it. With the item in it.

 

I could upload some set pieces for you if you want, each of them is not the same level from about 15 - 75. Not complete, but its better than nothing I guess. I dont use sets, but I do collect them like uniques. ^^

rendal's ruse.zip

No, I don't want anything.

[Navaros22 0]

Thank You very much. If I find any other of those unique items, Ill load them up here for you.

[wolfie2kX 528]

Welcome aboard!

 

Here are the wiki pages for those items Wolfie:

Rendal's Ruse

Nishinku's Bracers

Co'Nahn's Chestguard

 

Hmm.. None of those pages seem to have ANYTHING on them except a note that there's no info on this item...

 

As a side note..

 

The project I undertook to upload all the goodies that are in the downloads section came from a tool that's freely available on the 'net. One, for whatever insane reason, we can't carry here. Go figure. I uploaded everything that it had - and I'm thinking the authors of said product were very thorough getting ALL of the stuff available in the game. Mind, you, they included some things that weren't allowed in the game - Admin testing items like the mutation sets, and some highly overpowered weapons and gear that weren't meant for public distribution.

 

The point being - if it was in the game - they likely found it and extracted it - and as such, I've uploaded it. I'm wondering if these items aren't part of the CM Patch...

[Silver_fox 397]

All this armor is in game right enough and was there before the CM patch. It is listed on the High Elf Uniques page of the wiki. The reason why Lujate's links are leading to nowhere is that the current forum software does not process wiki tags for pages with apostrophes in their names, or rather, processes them incorrectly.

[Flix 5,116]

Yep, it's true. And Wolfie, I've looked through the same tool in order to upload the Christmas Sets and while they preserved a HUGE amount of content (all the sets and unique weapons and shields), much of the unique armor is not present. They're just that darn rare.

 

Now that I know how to spawn items at will, I'm thinking it might be worthwhile to make downloads for all the unique armor that's missing from the DarkMatters DL section.

Edited March 26, 2014 by gogoblender

[Silver_fox 397]

I thought about making these chests too. Spawning items by their blueprints has only one big downside - they always drop near the character level, so you need to spend time and do it for quite a lot of different characters (and to have these characters). I can make a chest with levels 15-35-45-80-140-160-200. Would it be enough?

[Flix 5,116]

It seems to me we could just make a level 15 character with the save editor, add in all the uniques as quest rewards, do the spawn trick, and then increase her level to 35 with the save editor, repeat, and repeat again, etc. 6 or 7 seven times and you've got all the High Elf Uniques ready. Should take maybe 15 minutes. Then repeat for the other 6 characters, and you've got all the unique armor.

 

We could split up the work if you want it to go quicker, you could take half and I could take half and whoever's done first could do the Dragon Mage's. I guess I should check and see if any of it's already uploaded.

[Whereaminow22 1]

Aka Navaros22 The reason not many people know about them is cause they are not dropped in sacred 2, they are dropped in the expansion Ice & Blood. O_o... That sounds too easy...

[Flix 5,116]

If you want any item for a single player char it's actually very easy to get if you know the blueprint ID. You just edit quest.txt (it's in scripts/server) and add the items as rewards for starting a multiplayer quest. The section to edit is name = "S_HE_1_N_db-Startquest Multiplayer All". The document is very large but if you just search "multiplayer" you will find it. Under the "reward skill" line you can add a section for items:

rewards = {
{4137,0},
{4138,0},
{4137,0},
{4138,0},
{4137,0},
{4138,0},
{4137,0},
{4138,0},
{4137,0},
{4138,0},
},

 

I've never added more than 10 at a time, but it could be just 1 if that's all you want.

Take the character into the multiplayer screen, create a new LAN game (campaign mode), and then when you use the teleporter to go to Sloeford (or anywhere), the items will drop on the ground, at about your current level.

 

Obviously abusing this method can spoil your fun, but if you're willing to download an item you may as well save some trouble and get it to drop youself. Oh yeah and back up the file before you edit in case something goes bonkers (it won't if you do it correctly though).

[Silver_fox 397]

I'm afraid that doing the level increase 6 or 7 times won't be enough to get all levels of the uniques, more like 10-12. I can do 6-7 with my current characters, without the necessity to create a special one or edit character level, that's why I asked if it would be enough. Of course I understand the editing possibility. I guess I'll do it for High Elf's uniques, as I'm currently testing unique items anyway.

 

I'm not sure if what you've just did is allowed by forum rules. I told people about spawning items through the quest rewards only in personal messages, because some other forums consider open discussion of such tricks just as bad as openly hosting MegaDev cheatbase and Character Editor. I'm not sure what policy DarkMatters has for this case.

[Flix 5,116]

Yeah, to obtain all levels of the uniques, you're right 6 or 7 repetitions wouldn't be enough. That was just to create the levels you described (which I think is a good spread). However, I know you always do the best job you possibly can, so the full spread would of course be doable with twice as much work.

 

So if you'll do the High Elf, I can start with the Inquisitor.

 

>"I'm not sure if what you've just did is allowed by forum rules."

 

Hmm...well the policy here certainly isn't as strict as the Sacred International Forum, as no discussion of modding anything whatsoever is allowed there. We wouldn't even able to talk about making an items mod, much less release one there. This is one of many reasons it was never much of a home for me.

Darkmatters seems to be more lenient. I've been talking about "how to" modding for months in threads, and I don't think it was flouting the rules (I hope not). I don't mean to sound ornery or take anything out on you Silver Fox, but I think it's ludicrous that I or anyone else would have to tiptoe around worrying about talking about MODDING, which is the last lifeline of Sacred 2 now that multiplayer is dead, Ascaron is dead, and CM Patch is almost dried up. Modding is welcomed with open arms in many gaming communities as something that prolongs gameplay experience and adds continued value to the product, and most any game company nowadays worth its sallt would welcome and support it, so I don't see why it should be cloistered and secreted away for Sacred 2. The concern over ruining the multiplayer experience was a legitimate concern when there were actually servers up (I guess?), but that's no longer the case.

 

In other words, to butcher a quote, I'll stop talking about modding when they pry the keyboard from my cold dead hands.

[Silver_fox 397]

>"In other words, to butcher a quote, I'll stop talking about modding when they pry the keyboard from my cold dead hands."

Yes, of course. Especially considering that DarkMatters always welcomed mods and modding guides. I'm sorry if I sounded offensive of unpelasant, I did not mean to insult you, I swear. It's just that one day in the past gogo warned me against discussing everything that can be considered cheat or exploit, and with some modding tricks the line is so thin I'm not sure when we cross it.

[Silver_fox 397]

OK, guys, the chests with all High Elf Unique Armor were created and uploaded. Once one of the moderators approves the file, everybody who wants any of these items would be able to download them. I collected all 8 items listed on the High Elf unique page of the wiki + Helmet of Insanity, which has versions for all characters.
