Ergo's FixPack [mods]

[Ergopad]

New version uploaded. One critical bug fixed (Praios' Scimitar), code cleaning and french translation.

First let me stuck a feather in your behind for doing a great job.

I assume correctly that the latest mod has al the content of the previous ones therefore needing only that one? 1.72 I believe.

It must be your lucky day.

I don't know if this has been said, but is there a way to pick and choose what I want to install? I for one don't want someone other than the designers to dictate the game experience. I will have some faith that the game balance is fine the way they intended it. It doesn't feel right not playing the official game. I am of course interested in fixes to quests, abilities - anything that fixes things - as well as non-combat faster walking (because that is something that is very time-consuming otherwise). Anyway to separate them?

I'm a purist and have read and agreed with the requests to have the fixes selectable or separated incrementally.

However, it seems that it wouldn't be easy or possible and you've already done so much fine work that I can assure you, once I have given this game an original go through I'll be all over this mod shortly after.


Thank you for the effort you put into the fixpack!

I have couple of lausy reasons why I haven't done the fixpack splitting into pieces:

#1 Extra work
#2 Some changes are related to others
#3 I'm lazy.

But I will do that splitting at some point. At least so that there would be "fixes", "balance", "additions" and "comfort" selections to be had.

can you tell me if my patch was successful?

Hello.

Could anyone who has been able to extract Ergo's latest fixpatch please let me know how you did it?
I've tried everything mentioned in the fix notes, but I still can't get it to work.
I really want to install this patch before I start my real game.
Thanks for any help.

My folder path is: C:\program Files\Drakensang\Export\

Any idea what will be working and what wont if you instal and continue the game?

It is my second game and I do not want to go back to the begining as I am already starting my first Dragon quest.

Anyway, I think speed works, plant and animal lore are faster for sure. I do not find dungeons darker - which I kinda like - and I do not find the new items in Parlos square. Last one maybe just me stupid or they pop up later in the game but I cannot find any of them.

And btw, thanks for this mod. Especialy playing a second rtime, bonus speed is great. Too bad there are not enough good weapons in this game. I do not mean very strong but beautiful and also weapons that do something.

[Hryunir]

Good one, really. The mod, I mean. Just got my hands on the game, didn't really enjoy it the first time around, then installed the mod - voila! No more "allpowerful" battlemages, the balancing is close to perfect as it gets (at least in my opinion). Good job, thanks so much, really.
Got a question also... mmm, you see, the "Rondracomb" sword is THE sword for me (visually). However, the "Andergastian two-hander" somehow behaves better in my character's hands (don't know why, could be some kind of luck). Yes, I'm aware of the wounding power of the "Tuskar", I just don't feel like using it (again, don't know why). So the question is: is there a way to exchange the stats of the "Rondracomb" and the "Andergastian" (and maybe their placements ingame, just for fun), and if there is - how do I do that?

[Ergopad]

Since so many people were complaining about issues to install the mod, I updated the installer so that it now prompt for Drakensang folder if it's not found from registry. Enjoy.

And I'm still open for suggestions.

[Ergopad]

New version with updated installer. Hope it helps.
