Bugs and fixes for unofficial patch

[AusWilko]

I Raps, I just as a test went and pointed the installer at my desktop and it has installed there a Recorces folder and a database folder with files in it, I did notice when it went through the dosbox commands that it had some xpac errors up but it might be enough for you to get an idea

I just remembered two more bugs/inconsistencies:

1) Sstheno's Wisdom, the MI STR helmet can only be dropped by epic gorgons (don't ask me which ones exactly).

2) I'm not sure about this one, but it seems to me that in the area between Epirus and the Passage of Souls there is zero chance for the monsters to wear MIs. I have never seen the Lamiae, Empusae and Keres with any. Especially the yellow Keres MI helmets are usually easily spotted and I can find them immediately after the Passage of Souls, but never before.

Maybe it's intended, because the passage is supposed to have customs that confiscate all MIs of monsters leaving Hades...

In the database, Sstheno's Wisdom has only epic version, and the place of other two difficulties are definitely marked by a "x", so I think it should be considered as part of original design, not a BUG.

errors would have only been there be only because it couldn't find the resources folder so it just made one

I also working on finding and fixing BUGs of TQ recently. I uploaded the whole set of DB into SQL Server, and did some data analysis work using program and SQL statement some time ago. With support of that, I can extract all BUGs having some special "pattern", just like "link to a none existing file". I've already found and fixed hundreds of BUGs till now. I wish to merge your bug list with mine, if you can provide all the new and modified DBRs of your 1.08RC. In my plan, I'll complete my work before the end of April (if nothing unpredictable happens, however, perhaps the largest obstacle is English), and then I'll publish all my work here.

i was planing on just skipping the changelog for 1.08 and adding it in with the next release because there was only about 6 files changed.

also regarding the -recharge fix the problem is with my templates (I think) some of them got screwed up somehow . this problem has been plaguing me for a while and this is the only thing i could find wrong.

I reported recharge fix is not working in 1.08rc & at the same time I konw
they(they=?may be the patch builder or somebody else) didn`t use your fix files.
they(~)use
records\xpack\skills\equipment skills\z_my_cooldownreduction01_skill.dbr
records\xpack\skills\equipment skills\z_my_cooldownreduction02_skill.dbr
records\xpack\skills\equipment skills\z_my_cooldownreduction03_skill.dbr
records\xpack\skills\equipment skills\z_my_%cooldown%mana01_skill.dbr
these 4 files instead...

And I don`t know the reason why they did this. I considered maybe that is a better way to fix this bug at first,but it still doesn`t work.

Those z files are the originals. I renamed them but didn't delete them (I am using them for relics and charms, where they work fine). [Edit - Incorrect. These are new files. Leave them be. Just don't point anything to them, they work in the background]

The new files all have the original names and locations, and any loot spawned by the original loottables should point to those new files. It appears someone wrote new loottables that point to these z files for some reason.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Edit] My explanation above is a little off. Those z skills are necessary and used - don't get the impression they can be deleted. But the basic point remains that all the original loottables and items pointing to the original files should be left alone because they will work with the new files.

Good to know that that problem is located. I'll update the OP now, with the outstanding issues for the patch.

My English is poor and I have not read it in its entirety about 31 pages ...
So I forgot to mention obligatory some people, and I apologize!
Do not hesitate to point out an error or omission.
But I am manic and as I (finally) back in the mod-patch, I see everything from the beginning.
I therefore offer you this presentation:
