maybe something else needs to be connected to the "Patch Optional Addendum"? Can there be some kind of kernel like in the "Enhanced Edition"? , I just did not find instructions for proper installation. show how the list of active mods should look like in the "Generic Mod Enabler", I have it like this, the patch folder and the Russian localization was placed in the mod folder with confirmation for the replacement. all right?

I see, incorrect spawn.txt entries. The issue will be fixed on the next release.

Do be aware the change log in the lead post says otherwise.

Yes, I've erroneously retconned the function for non-D2F Addendum editions.

Hi I installed this mod and started a dragon mage character. I got 0 set items from either quests and bosses so I tweaked balance.txt for a bit but problem is I only get mark of the dragon set rn I wonder if I play at normal drop rates do I get always this set or is this kinda a bug?

There's been a few reports of anomalous drop rates. Working on it.

[bestreducer 5]

Hey!
I'm new here. Have some bugs besides that mentioned before.
  First - a question. Can I double-hit with LMB attack using TG's Battle Extension? Didn't figure it out, cause big shoota/choppa is just better than just smol choppa
1) If I use any smith rune on item, with resulting item equipped, my damage goes up for no reason when I miss or use CA. Damage is real, don't just in GUI. With 20 runes in items and pelting strikes damage become really huge. Works with any runes. It appears with effect that looks like "Damage of enraged players" booster. Is there video links allowed?
2) energy shield(for both seraph and TG) have regen that applied also from HP regen, so shield regen is higher than hp regen
3) at pandemonium mode I can't normally go to some bosses because of locked doors. It can't be opened. TG and HE can move through it though, works as good as dismounting animation in front of door (dismounted character just squish on the door or next through it).
4) that was mentioned, but I think it's need to say - health pots. small potion heal about 10-15% hp in silver with maxed alchemy, medium ones appears(mostly) after 75 level, when small ones with skill become usable. Most disturbing thing about it is healing for 1hp with second pot if space pressed twice. So I think that it was best in sacred 1 that medium pots in merchant's stock at level 1 will be good, just to have 20-30+% heal (without alchemy skill) for some... stunning situations. And/or add healing% behind non-mastery alchemy (for example 15% without skill and 15%+10% with skill)
Also encountered some funny items with flashing names - one word of item name changes between 2-3 variants each second


and one issue - enemies at some locations spawns but don't do anything (for 1-2 minutes). I play with some guys (with good enough pc as server) through Radmin VPN(works with everything, simple and already have servers for sacred1-2), all of them have exact GOG version as mine. Connection is good and don't ever go to 100%, but when I encounter too much of mobs staying still, game crashes. It happened with CM-patch and EE mod but game don't crash and it doesn't need to wait for more than 10-15 secs

The Battle Extension Double-Hit is a separate mechanics/ Yes, you can.

Screens proving the point would be appreciated.

They are.  The reported effect doesn't look like my doing. Oh, those early attempts at server-client games... and the code itself.

Wondered when someone would report that. The entire naming solution was hedgewizardry. No way to do it otherwise with the original resources on hand.

The same issue of the server-client solution. You could end up to 40 minutes with the vanilla.

video about it (choose 720p manually)
Shield should regen about 5.5 per sec from ability (pinned SS1)

On 9/15/2023 at 2:43 AM, dimitrius154 said:

1st - door after bloodtongue - video
2 - Nameless - video
3 - andariel - video
4 - pass to island in jungles -  video
And more, but it's kinda hard to locate all bosses (quests pathfinding), and game crashes when I load too much mobs (about 2-3 hours). In short, all locked doors in campaign is also locked in pandemonium so it's hard to pass

A very unfortunate issue this one turns out to be, a two-and-a-half year old compounded calculation error. While I, generally, avoid solution through attrition, that's the way I have to undertake.

Phew, took a LOT less time than anticipated. @bestreducer Any extra bug input is appreciated, so that I can deal with those before releasing the new iteration.

[dimitrius154 612]

@bestreducerAddendum patch links updated with the proposed bug solution. Should that suffice, the main archive wil be updated as well.

Thanks! Does this by chance also address the 2 issues from my previous post?  The font color and the Conviction tooltip are, I believe, the last of the issues that cropped up during playtesting.

I'd also like to report that there's no set item drop whatsoever for dryad. But it's not the case for bargaining mastery. I tried to buy something with my legacy bargainer dryad, and there were some set items. 

Another interesting thing I noticed is that these "hidden treasures" which you can activate or stumble upon are always giving 4 (four!) legendary weapons. Of course it's nice to have some drop like this along the way and it makes you really hunt for such places, but still I wonder if that's a bug or not (I'm level 40, survival bonus 45%, enhanced perception 163). 

Other than that, thanks a lot for this update, I'm a huge fan of it! 

upd: some set items are actually dropping! but so far there's been two of them. Wonder what happens next...

hi, I installed your Option Addendum mod, deleted the Dark mod folder from it, I don’t want 20 skills, should I delete the D2F folder if I don’t play Diablo mod? NPC blacksmith runes do not work in the game, this is an obvious problem because... because of this, you need to take the blacksmithing skill, but I wouldn’t want this, I also noticed that when selecting an item, its name is not shown in full, more often on white objects, but in the inventory the name is normal, complete, I made a mod on x3 mobs, changing the values 2 times in total_density, it seems to work flawlessly

oh, yes, I don’t remember how in the vanilla SM patch, but in HER fashion it was like this: installed. for example, on button 2 - buff skill, then pressed this button and the character uses this skill, but in your mod it does not work, please fix it or write where to change something yourself so that the skill works from the keyboard

it's just a good drop. If you remove your perception+MF bonus, legendary items count will be lower. I have about 1-2 with ~80 perception and 35 level. Kinda weird to have just a health pot (or useless blue item) in magical stash

it will work from char level 25 and higher. Strange bug, but not so frustrating (as other that grow damage to insane while using CA with that blacksmith runes)

Are those two issues still in place with the latest patch?

[Flix 5,116]

Hello. I have some code-related issues to report as the testing continues. Using the latest batch of D2F system files.

• UI_TT_SE_CM_BEKEHRUNG_PROPERTIES_3  "et_prone_all" is still showing in the CA tooltip as a flat value. For example 'Opponent's Armor 225' instead of 'Opponent's Armor - 22.5%'.
• When using the spellclass "cSpellGsKriegsrausch", the factions don't reset after duration expires. All affected enemies continue to be hostile to one another. I really like the new behavior & FX otherwise.
• I cannot get "BONUS_CHANNEL_CONV_TO_BEST" to appear on any item blueprints. I have the string in place in global.res but the tooltip is absent and none of the weapon damage is being converted. Sure it's functional?
• I can still enter singleplayer mode with a multiplayer character. I get the warning but then it allows me in anyhow.
• My shapeshifted Druid in Werewolf/Werebear form is only attacking using ATTACKB_BH animations now. The ATTACKA_BH animations are still in place and scripted, but they're being ignored. Other creatures using the same animation entries are attacking as expected.  Can this be attributed to code changes and reversed if so?
• The Temple Guardian has a strange issue where his IDLEB_BH "deactivating sound" plays constantly, even when he has a 1h weapon equipped and is not performing that particular idle animation (the one where he falls down temporarily and then revives). I am hearing that sequence of sounds when he's just casually looking around behind him.
• My Assassin (TG) is unable to de-cloak from using "cSpellSkGeistform" (Cloak of Shadows). Normally using ranged/magic attacks have a chance to de-cloak, and using melee attacks has a 100% chance to de-cloak. Well, with my Assassin, nothing deactivates the buff, except the duration expiring.

Here is the spell definition for Cloak of Shadows:

I can say with confidence that it doesn't act this way in vanilla. Enemy factions return to normal after the duration expires.

Although.... perhaps, they shouldn't. Sort of a murderous aura duration, once in range, the subject is, ahem, infected for (short)life.

Perhaps. It's somewhat balanced by the new behavior where it only affects a small radius around the caster rather than "as far as the eye can see."
