The exchange of 04disrupted with 04odead is a great idea.

Lucan will be changed (the officer sword respond). The rspdflt thing not due to less work and it doesn't really matter.

Yes, but after looking a bit deeper into that, I saw that the player can indeed get the title 04warrior which then lead to the 04mudaram-problem. I didn't know that before.

So this needs to be changed. ->Noted.

Calvarics conversations lines aren't used because the "04sawmeeting" isn't available anywhere. I guess it should have been used in village16 at Mithras' tent.

Therefor the changes for Mudam aren't needed. Also the planned time of assault cannot be get to known from the Ahoul as far as I know.

I wouldn't bring this part of the story into the game because there might be some more inconsistencies in further conversations with Mudam and/or Calvaric. E.G. Calvaric wants to know more about the Ahoul's machine in calfour6 although it could be the case that the player doesn't know anything about the machine yet or rather hasn't seen it yet. So nobody would know about any machine at all.

I don't know where 04disrupted stands.

->The further the story goes the more cut content there is, as I think about that know. XD

Do you mean the one in chapter 3, seen in the youtube video?

The branch was only there if the player had enough perception back then. But in the newer Versions there is no entrance anymore. The bar doesn't exist anymore.

Hi,

looks good so far. If allowed I'd add it to the current patch, with the additions I've made.

I had used rothfour6 instead because the player can tell Roth that he already has the tornister in rothfour5 (after rothfour4). In that case the Adventure is useless. If the player has not the tornister the conversation would go on to rothfour6. That's the reason.

Mak and Severi are also noted.

We will see how it can be done easily.

Everything noted.

But I'd add adventure=ch4-515 to rothfour6 instead.

With Severi and Oskari it could be a bit complicated, but I will see what I can do. (without too many changes)

The 03knowelves need to be sticked to elven conversation. E.G. When Speaking to Soren ( a southgate guard) you can tell him that you've spoken to some of them already with that title.

I think it is not added because the player already knows about the alliance between elves and men from Taavi. In this regards most parts of this adventure wouldn't be news. (besides the "woobly" part).

So I'd let that as it is.

BTW: How do you find al these? Do you look that intense through the files or are you just trying every conversation option and compare them?

The charge spell is the beginners spell as apprentice. Not strong, but can help if an enemy is close to death while the own Mana is quite low or rather if you want to save some Mana in such a case. The mana cost for charge is always 1 point.

It gets quite irrelevant at the end of chapter 2, except if lvl 2 (energy) or 3 (infuse) is achieved (by a title).

03knowelves will be changed. The unnecessary script will stay as it is ignored by the game then.

03crownreturned is indeed wrong, but it doesnt get added to the player. Therefore at least we run in no game progression bug, but it will be deleted for safety reasons.

The 03Baroncrown is removed, so that the player cannot get the Taberlandrose twice (or even more) from Lord Harold.

The typo is just in the header. This must be from back then, when the developers tested the conversation file with "CNVEdit.exe". This program creates this Header and it seems like there was an typo in a script which they fixed.

The comma errors will be fixed.

Thanks again.

Ah yes. These flags are no issue.

No problem.

Thank you. It's already 14 years now - hm quite a long time.

Hi, thank you for these founds. Tristan, Neese will be added to my todo list. Roth was already changed from 2 to four but I've made a spelling mistake. Will also be adressed together with the adventure.

The chapter flags seem to be alright because the player gets them too.

The 02scfelious title is completely useless (no achievement). So there is no need for any change. I don't know what its intention was.

Hi,

you've got everything right. In your case, as you want to play the other stories too, you just need to install the Modpaket - the DLC-Style one which is the new engine new engine. The other Modpaket is for the classic Version from 2001 btw.

Regarding your question about chapter 7: It starts right after the endsequence of chapter 6 has finished.

I'm new to SoA modding and this all is quite confusing, since I've only played it once long time ago, and couldn't even finish the game, as a Mage was required to finish specific tasks and I played as a Warrior

The game can be finished with every class. So you just might have run into a softlock or something back then.

Doch war es schon, wenn man die Atmosphäre die das Spiel rüberbringen will betrachtet.

Was technischen Überlegungen anbeloangt, so gab es schon gute Ideen. Z.B. wollte man damals der Zeit vorraus sein und eine Laufmöglichkeit ins Spiel integrieren (also statt nur gehen zu können). Das war meines Wissens dann schon eine Neuerung. Ferner noch die ganzen Layers um seine Character zu kleiden.

Was zu leiden hatte, war das Kampfsystem in Bezug auf Nahkampf oder Bogen.

Wenn man also eine colle Geschichte haben will, die auch tief geht (z.B. Charaktere), dann ist es schon recht gut. Die Umsetzung mag vielleicht hier und da seine Schwächen haben. Wenn man das jetzt aber mit neueren Titel vergleicht, dann schauts schon wieder ganz anders aus. xd

Es wird bewertungstechnisch als etwas schlechter als Baldurs Gate 2 oder Diablo 2 angesehen. Die kamen im gleichen Jahr raus.

Hauptgrund warum das Spiel nicht so gut ankam, war das episodische. Kapitel 3 hat einigen nicht gefallen, was zur Folge hatte, dass weniger Kapitel 4 weitergespielt/gekauft haben. Das ging mit weiteren Kapiteln so weiter.

Das viele Gelese ist auch nicht jedermans Sache.

Und der Versuch das ganze nur digital zu vermarkten, war seiner Zeit voraus.

Aus meiner Sicht aber ist da so viel Nostalgie drin, dass ich weder Baldurs Gate noch Diablo besser finden würde.

Hi,

the finished translation could be added to the patch then.

N'abend zusammen,

seit heute gibt es einen neuen Patch, den man in der Filebase herunterladen kann. Kapitel 7 und die Modpakete wurden dahingehend auch aktualisiert.

Nein habe ich nicht, weil dann der Aufwand zum Aktuellhalten der Patches und Mods verdoppelt wird. Die Frage ist: Wieso oder wann sollte Google Drive seinen Dienst einstellen? Bevor das passiert, gehen eher die anderen Server down. Ich selbst hätte keinen Grund die Sachen von meinem Konto zu löschen. Ich brauchs ja fast ausschließlich nur dafür. Also sollte der Fall eintreten, dass ich mene Arbeit einstelle, bleiben die Sachen ja weiterhin verfügbar, außer Google kündigt mein Konto.
