Carcanum mod question

Sorry if this has been posted.

Few question:
1. The secret lvl, 'Portal', according to the readme file, can be accessed only at lvl 50. Yet I have a character who is only lvl 40 can enter it and fight & leveling like most mmo game :lol: . I tried another character and when she's lvl 50 she's still can't enter the portal.


2. Any plan for an update version (more location, bug-fix?, quest)

 

Sorry it took so long for you to get an answer.

If you're talking about the Portal of the Master, I was able to access it as early as level 30. It seems to be linked to a good reaction from Bates as you accept the BMC quest.

Now, Car-Arcanum went through several stages were it was known as Hard-Arcanum. Perhaps the read-me never got updated.

And at this time there is no known plans for updates or expansions that I've heard of.

 

How to get a good reaction from Bates?

 

I almost always played the lawfully good gunfighter and did all the good-guy side-quests, so by the time I talked to Bates, my alignment was usually +40 or better.

Thinking back, I was commonly forcing locations prior to going to Bates.

 

Not going to make a new thread, so dug out the old one.

Is Carcanum mod compatible to Drog Black Tooth's high resolution patch?

 

I just found this great forum awhile ago. Thanks to everyone for keeping this great game alive. I really enjoy Carcanum and can confirm that the hi res maps patch DOES work, also the weightless ammo hack (also works for fuel and arrows) and the one that skips the Sierra and Troika movies on startup. I would also like to make DBT's unoficial patch work, if only to make the mechanized gun from Hieronymus Maxim. I tried changing the patch numbers and the different Arcanum.dat numbers but should have figured it was not going to be that easy. Any suggestions?

 

Welcome to the forum, Jeremy!

To answer your question, the only effective way to combine the UAP and Car-Arcanum would be to unpack them both and carefully merge the UAP into Chris' mod.

There'll be a few place where the mes listings overlap and some tough choices would have to be made, but it can be done. It's just an awful lot of work.
