What mods/patchech should I download?

Hi!

I had finished the game several times long time ago. I recall using Car Arcanum during the last play, but now I'm not sure what to use, which mods are finished, mutually compatible etc.

So please recommend, what should I install.
Probably:

- Official patch,
- Unofficial patch,
- Hi-res patch,
- WIP?

Thanks!

 

If it's been awhile since you last played, I recommend doing just the official patch, and playing through vanilla, and then installing the rest of the patches, and playing through. That way you get a better view of the amount of work that's gone into improving this game.

 

Thanks but since I don't have that much time to play I'd really appreciate, if someone could recommend a more complete set of mods.

 

Then I would say play with the ones you listed.

 

So they are all compatible? Lucky me
Thanks

 

Hold up!
A:WIP is not compatable with the unofficial patch!
It does have the 10/08 version built into it though.

It's ok to use the hi-res.

 

Thanks, rroyo and Xz!

So:
- Official patch
- Hi-res patch
- WIP

Any other recommendations?

I noticed a balance mod being made, but since it is not finished... oh! And the official mod (that one on the CD), it has to be somewhere

 

I think that needs to be (in order):
1. Official Patch
2. Rroyo's WIP (careful; I've had some trouble on windows 7 with this one)
3. High Res Patch.

If you haven't finished it before/recently and want a more vanilla experience, try:
1. Official Path
2. Drog's UAP
3. Optionally HQ townmaps
4. High Res patch.

The HQ Music pack can be applied to either also.

 

What about "The lost dungeon of souls" mod? When this one should be installed?

 

this mod is aseperate mod you can install it at any time.

 

OK, one more if I may: Can I use the HQ townmanps with the WIP?

Edit: I'v found this rroyo's remark: "Also - the High-Rez patch, High-Quality Music, and (to a point) High-Rez Townmaps will work with A:WIP - just be ready to make allowances for new stuff that's not shown on the maps."

So I should install the HQ maps first and than let the WIP overwrite old maps with new?

 

I don't know for sure if this'll work: Rename the patch1 of A:WIP to patch2, then rename the patch9 of the townmaps to patch1. That should put them in the right sequence.

Give it a try - and good luck!

 

So I started the game and while all modifications seem to work correctly, I'm actually not that amused playing a magick user. It is just plainly easy to invest points into spells. Tech char is more fun, because of finding various stuff to combine, saving money for blueprints, finding blueprints - oh yeah.
As someone here on the forum had noted, it would be nice to have such challenge also for spells - finding teachers, combining them from some elements and/or artefacts.
Well, well...
