TQVault 2.14 Released

[bman654]

I am back for a little while. So I am releasing TQ Vault 2.14. It is based upon the TQVault 2.13 Beta release by EJFudd.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with TQVault: It is a tool that you can use outside of the game to manage your inventory. It provides unlimited storage space via named vaults which you can use to store all your phat lewt. It allows you to trade items between your characters with ease. It also facilitates trading items via email with other players. It also allows you to do some cheating type stuff, such as remove relics from items, or change your relic completion bonus, or copy items or create set items.

Installation Instructions
The installer requires .Net Framework 3.5. The installer will prompt you to install this package if necessary, but some users have reported problems with this feature. I recommend you download and install the framework before trying to install TQVault.
Other than that, just run the installation and you should be all set.

Awesome, as always thanks for the hard work Bman.

Aren't you fed up with making cheating tools ?

TQ really misses some closed servers.

sorry guys but for me you suck, no offense for the hard work you put there.

[Soranor]

Thanks a lot for this!

And Elvith, TQVault, even with its new functionality of copying and creating items as well as changing completion bonuses is nowhere near other means of cheating. The items are still like they can be found in the game, although the user might have robbed himself of the fun of finding them...

Will this installer over-write my current Vault? Or will I need to un-install first?

[ElGrandeLupo]

Exelent Bman. Thank you very much.

@Elvith: Save your holy attitude for somewhere else and stop assuming that everyone is playing online and are cheating just because those programs exists.

[Thermal Ions]

Thanks Bman. (and EJ for the interim builds)

TQVault enables me to get the best "bang for my buck" enjoyment from the game within the limited time I have available to play (solo or lan). I don't need the drudgery of farming with every single toon for every single piece of gear or alternatively creating huge numbers of "bank" characters to transfer gear through the caravan (now that I have IT).

Even IL recognised the principal need behind TQVault's creation - hence the caravan in IT.

@Batman - I am using a new installer. It will overwrite the old TQVault with the old installer if you point it at the same location but I don't know if it will "remove" the old TQVault from windows registry (ie add/remove programs might have 2 listings for tqvault). If that bothers you, then uninstall the old one first.

@Elvith: People cheat with or without this program. No closed servers = lots of cheating. If people want to be honest then great. If people want to play single player and cheat then great. If people want to play MP then play with someone you know and trust in this game. I refrained from adding the really heavy cheat options until now when the game community has dwindled and the cheat impact is less. All the griefers have moved onto other games so these cheats are primarily going to be used by consenting players.

The installer does overwrite the old program if you point to the same directory. It creates a new desktop shortcut, but your old shortcuts will still work, so I just deleted the new one (and kept the old shortcut with an icon I found somewhere).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And yes, it does put another entry in the Registry.

Thanks for this from me as well...IMHO this is one of 2 of the greatest programs for TQ ( The Defiler being the other ). I can't play without it, and it just keeps getting better and better...

And I don't view this as a cheat, as it doesn't directly boost your character, it just makes inventory management easier and more fun. In my opinion, this was one of the greatest weaknesses of TQ ( and Diablo for that matter ) and I for one am glad this program exists.

Mega-thanks again to Bman and EJ for the continued development of this program...
