Congratulations Deighvyd and Jdoe407 for the most extraordinary upgrade to Titan Quest and Immortal Throne !

Enhanced zooming and rotating camera, is now a reality, and also a great triumph of your dedication and creativity.

Your mods combined in a single package take the enjoyment of Titan Quest to new heights and implement a different approach to the playability of an already outstanding game.

This is a feast for the eyes and a new daunting immersiveness, that let us appreciate better all the cunning artistry in TQ.

Thank you two so much for making possible what I dreamed of for so long.

My highest respect and best regards for you and your families

=) Daniel

Oh, and for those that couldn't get the rotating camera to work (I had that problem myself), the new 1.33 version works perfect !

Enjoy.
Daniel

Thanks for the feedback cob... 'preciate it. Sorry to hear that initially the rotate mod wouldn't work for ya but I'm glad to hear that jdoe407 updated the mod to address your problem. Gonna have to add the new version to the collection (tomorrow...must play some IT first )

[Deighvyd]

update v3.1:

Updated jdoe407's Rotation Mod (v1.33) that fixes a failure to initialize if the game .exe takes to long to load on slower systems.

*If your Rotate Mod is working fine, you do not need this new version.

[Freddfu]

yes, absolutely the best mod out there for TQ. Makes me wonder, all the designers spent all their time making a kick-@ss game, but then forgot one very crucial element...

Oh and it sucks that you can't swim in the water either

but its still a great game!!

Thanks for the great mod. I really appreciate it, but have noticed a few minor "gotchas." In a couple areas (with fog), such as the Athenian Swamp, it is almost impossible to see anything unless you zoom in really close. Also, arcane formulas and artifacts don't show up with properly colored text and the cost to remove charms and relics from items is always 0gp.

does it conflics with defiler?

The problem with fog is unfortunately unavoidable so we are all stuck having to zoom in when we go through those areas... sorry.

As for Formulas, Artifacts and also Scrolls... I was made aware of this problem only a few days ago and I'm looking for a way to fix it but with no luck yet. I'm diving into editing further than I had planned right now and hopefully I will find a fix sooner than later. I actually made the mod before I ever had a formula or scroll, so when I finally got one I just assumed that they where supposed to be all white..

Wasn't aware of the 0gp problem with relics and charms though. I'll go look into it as well. I normally use TQVault for removal or relics and stuff and never imagined that the cam mod would affect that? I'll check it out and see what can be done.

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you're enjoying the new camera. Are you using the Isometric or Top Down mod?

Not that I am aware of... and I use Defiler extensively every few days and I've encountered no problems... unless, by some fluke, the above mentioned glitches are related to my Mod and some aspect of Defiler. I'll have to rule that out when I try to fix the scrolls and 0gp problems.

[ChaoticSun]

Thanks for the quick reply. I am using the isometric view. I figured the fog problem might be "unfixable." Arcane formula show up as purple, I believe, when you find them and the color coding on the actual item shows you what requirements you already have met. It makes it MUCH easier to determine additional requirements.

I think you have done a great job with this, and I can't imagine play TQIT without it at this point.

Thanks.
