Bugs and fixes for unofficial patch

[luedtke6788]

Bugged Items:
- Epic Herakles relics give better bonuses than Legendary ones

ok just making sure i have this right this is referring to Heracles might right?

also i was thinking of changing the menus for pets/summons, I think its a little redundant to have the dialog "set to aggressive, Set to normal ,ect.." any way should i change it to just say "aggressive,normal,defensive,disband" <--- anyone else think this is a good idea?

if i beta patched,
what will happen if i join an unpatched game ?

as far as i know, worst case wont be able to play on it, sometimes it just wont let you use any of your saved characters and you'll have to start from lvl 1.

Edit: best thing i'v come up with is i just installed the game two times one i leave as is to play on unmodified MP and one i use for mods and such

Edit2:

- Some quest-reward weapons have Normal affixes in Legendary.

this seems to be intensional looking at the DB most quest items are all the same between difficulty's only there chance for rare affixes increases

Edit3: Thought of a cool idea, What do you guys think of me adding an auto updater to the patch? saves much time and reposting just download one file and from then on it auto updates

Sounds like a good idea to me.

It'd be kinda cool, but I'm not sure if it's all that useful. I have no idea on how you'd want to implement such a thing either. Once the unofficial patch is ready and spreading among the TQ communities, it might gobble up an insane amount of bandwith. Or not.
As for the beta patch, I don't have any problems with dl'ing the files each time.

"Embodiment of Herakles' Might" to be precise.


EDIT: Well, I just downloaded the latest installer (kinda busy with exam tests right now) and I gotta compliment you on how you've done it! The installer looks really professional, even got the fix for the relic as an added option. Not sure if the average users would understand what that relic fix was about, I don't think it should be put in a final version (unless it works correctly).
Good job man!

I'm not sure if I should be asking you this, since you've put quite some effort in it already, but perhaps you can add an option so users can choose to install the popular camera mod? That'd be really great. I mean Version 3.x of this mod for Immortal throne

I still get this "tag not found: tagItem" display error on Ereban helms though

I'll look in to this

It was just quickly done I plan on adding a more informative caption on it later (after beta) i figured as a beta right now everyone that uses it should know what i mean, other wise i don't really think there qualified to be beta testing if they don't know what problems there testing

as for implementing try it out install this--->Here
just clicky the shortcut on your desktop
i just put a random DB file i had on my pc in there so don't expect it to do anything after it updates, reinstall the normal patch after your done checking it out

as for bandwidth its no problem i already plan on hosting all the files off my server anyways and i have inf bandwidth (perks of being a web host myself)

need a little more info on this, who drops it and what difficulty are you on

Edit: also pretty much ruled out changing version # in game they have it coded in the exe or something

[luedtke6788]

ok regarding yerkyerk's request to add the camera mod to the patch,
do to the way they have it setup I would have to extract their modified DB and find what they all changed to add it to my installer, because of this I don't feel I have the right to do this with out their permission, if any one knows how to get ahold of said creators please do I would like to talk to them in more detail about this matter.

I'm getting the same problem. It's dropped for me 3 times in Act 4. I had 2 that were yellow and one that was green. The last one I found was from Hades' treasury. The other two dropped off of frog dudes.

For those of you who would like to know exactly what i have all changed in the DB you may go here
click the modified link to see all that has changed with in that file
gray lettering = same
yellow highlight lettering = new
red lettering = deleted


Edit: The next thing on my list of things to do, but i will definitely need your help with is
I would like to make this patch universal to all languages supported by the game so anyone that can mod some files in another language please let me know. also i will need the text files from each language version of the game. Thanks
