Arcanum:WIP 3-0 Now Available

No :???:

 

Thank you very much rroyo!

 

Concerning the worldmap issue. If you ask Virgil to wait before entering the worldmap, or before he brings up entering the worldmap, you then enter the worldmap, then without going anywhere, go back out of the world map and get Virgil back, all is normal.

 

WTF???!!!! That's the craziest thing about this hack I've heard yet.
But... As long as it works. :/

You're welcome, Hans.

 

I thought it might be linked to the "We should enter the worldmap" Conversation, but if you enter with Virgil before he says this you still get everthing marked. Wierd one indeed.

 

...

I feel like such a n00b :-(

 

ive just found this, but so far, WOW, your really dedicated and skilled and i applaud you, i know absolutely nothing about this project, are there any goals or anything? Could i have a rough rundown on the project?

and a question about the other large mod for arcanum, cararcanum, i dont know a lot about it but fromt he site it looks a bit.. cheatish.

 

You're welcome, Krest.

In short, what I'm building is just more adventures and incorporating as many bug-fixes as possible. It's the stock game with a lot more play-time added. I'll be the first to admit that it's still a bit rough, as I'm learning as I go, but little by little, it's getting better.

There are three major campaigns planned for this hack, but I'm not quite skilled enough just yet to make them work properly. Everything else is more like what you'd find in the stock game - single scenes or small towns where you'd pick up a side-quest or two.

Car-Arcanum is a maxed-out version of the game with much tougher opponents and a fair number of cheats to aid the less experienced players. It's orginal name was Hard-Arcanum.
I played the hell out of it for the longest time.

BTW: Both Car-Arcanum and A:WIP let you return from the Void after dealing with Kergan.

 

ok thanks, i just thought cararcanum was cheatish because of all the perks etc, i must have missed the fact that the difficulty is upped to offset it.

EDIT: I'd like the give a holler to chris beddoes, the cararcanum manual with illustrations done with Paint were quite amusing, screw paint/photo shop!

 

rroyo are you Drog Black Tooth from RPGCodex?

 

No, I'm not.
I don't even have an account there.

thought this was you. he has the same project name (A:WIP)

 

The name is just a coincidence. My hack's real name is Forgotten Places.
The use of name A:WIP came about when I made the first upload back in June for a home-bound relative to examine. I just gave the zip file an easy to remember name. AWIP.

This Drog fellow is way! the hell ahead of me scripting and debugging knowledge. I might just have to join there and express my congrats - and get a copy of his work when he releases it.

Edit: I just joined there. Drog's about to release his patch. I'm going to check it out.

 

2 things: The worldmap issue must have been a cache issue on my machine because it is normal again. MY BAD.

2nd: Are you going to try and incorporate the bug fixs from the other dude at that other site into Forgotten Places?

 

Glad to hear about the worldmap. You had me worried.

And yes, I'll be adding as many of those as I can as well as those that have been posted here - provided there's no duplication, of course.

 

Although I am still having the intermittent healing salve issue with high tech, though not as bad as before.

Edit: Have you considered having a thief character being able to do work for I.B.Wolfe. It felt wierd that my thief didn't have an option to do this, a small version of the thieves underground.

 

You mean more like D'ak T'aan (or whatever his name is) from Black Root? That does make sense, but think about the scope of A:WIP... there is a lot of stuff later on in the game, or even just in Brandybuck that rroyo has planned, and making a really sophisticated quest takes awhile

 

Actually, until now I hadn't considered making the Wolfe gang anything more than disposable bad-guys.

*makes note* Thanks guys!

 

Some ideas: You could steal the ring from Gladys in Dernholm.

Maybe break someone out of the prison in Dernholm, using the back door , they could mark it for you.

Deliver a package to someone in Dernholm or Blackroot to "prove your worth", first.
