Ergo's FixPack [mods]

I propose this disadvantage and advantage for the Caravan Guard:

Pro: Better Endurance. (From all the travelling in the desert.)
Neg: Worse AE? Worse social skills?

@j3kyll:
You need only the latest pack: [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/drakensang-the-dark-eye-123/ergos-fixpack-mods-107436-p2.html#post1028106"]Ergo's Fixpack v1.62[/url]. Actually the game might get messed up if you install more than one...

@GawainBS:
As much as I like those advantages/disadvantages, they hardly are unique. I'm looking for something unique, like +PA etc. that none of the existing archetypes has. Like Caravan Guard wuold have naturally thick skin (because the desert storm), thus having +1 to all DR...

GawainBS · Post by **GawainBS** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 11:24 am

+1 all DR sounds good.
Is it possible to make learning Heavy Armour cost more? To represent that they feel best in lighter armour?

Install trouble

Thanks Ergo. I tried to install but I kept getting the message "The path to "Drakensang\export\db\static.db4" couldn't be read from the registry." So I tried your help instructions. My version was already set to 1.03 and I set my root folder to E:\program files\drakensang\export but it is still not finding the game.

What's you game directory for Drakensang?

For example: d:\my games\Drakensang

I can make you the batch file if you can share the directory path...

@bacchus1974:

I really can't see anyting wrong, it looks correct. What's the error message? And, please check your file path again. Like would it be possible that you accidently have the path as c:\programmes\drakensang\Drakensang\export etc?

Oh, try adding "\" to end of path.

Code: Select all

SET dsroot=c:\programmes\drakensang\export[b][u]\[/u][/b]

Ergopad · Post by **Ergopad** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 3:40 pm

@bacchus1974:

Okay this seems a bit odd. Did you tried to add the "\" backslash to end of your file path?

maxdov · Post by **maxdov** » Fri May 01, 2009 4:08 am

would you please give me a link to "Ergo's FixPack mod" due to your link on first page is broken

thanks in advance for your help......

bacchus1974 · Post by **bacchus1974** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:25 am

a++++

j3kyll · Post by **j3kyll** » Fri May 01, 2009 1:13 pm

Link

{Maxdov} Look at third page near bottom. Ergo put a link there for me.

maxdov · Post by **maxdov** » Fri May 01, 2009 3:23 pm

thank you very much for your help! all files successfully installed and the game works properly!
special thanks to Ergo for a big work that makes the game more realistic and harder!

Ergopad · Post by **Ergopad** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:20 pm

Any feedback? What works and what not? Should the bonuses/penalties be bigger or smaller? What new you would like to see in future versions? Localization fixes? Anything??

maxdov · Post by **maxdov** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:38 pm

give me some time to play the game with your fixmod to answer you.
but in the starting location all things looks good for me, the battles became harder as you pointed in description of mod.
now it`s not an easy work in the forest as lonely battlemage. i had to take a company to finish all starting/tutorial quests

for this stage of playing i have only positive comments for your fixmod!

bacchus1974 · Post by **bacchus1974** » Sat May 09, 2009 8:08 am

can we install this patch with french version??

becaus efor me it s impossible plese help me

a++

Ergopad · Post by **Ergopad** » Sat May 09, 2009 10:59 am

I think it's possible to install the fixpack to french version, but obviously I haven't tested.

Just take backup of your db4 files in drakensang/export/db folder and give it a try. Atleast one thing that will be messed up, is the localization, so you will see some english texts when it suppose to be in french.

graywolf87 · Post by **graywolf87** » Sat May 09, 2009 8:42 pm
