Chris Beddoes Arcanum Expansion

I wish I could actually play it to rate it!

 

It's okay.

Pro:
I found all sorts of useful techy gadgets at the crash site. This is about the only difference I noticed.

Con:
Doc in Shrouded Hills "marked my map" with the location of the Bowen gang's hideout, but once I got the chance to get back out in the world map, there was no location for it.
Virgil's picture is suddenly 90% white, and has a grainy photograph instead of his old portrait. It looks awful with the rest of the graphics.

Overall:
Very little has been changed. The plethora of once-rare tech items in the crash site is a good idea, but few of these items will be useful at all until significant character advancement has occured. None of the "18 new levels" work, either.

 

a) I will say only that .

At the crash site there are 2 new entrances.

1) For "spiderman"
2) For kite king.

Did you look very well for changes ?




As for Virgil portraitt go to

C:\Sierra\Arcanum\data\portrait

and delete this

"None of the "18 new levels work "


Those 18 new locations yes they do exist if you look for them.

Unless you did not installed the game correctly.

If you can speak to Virgil and Althea in the house you did installed it correctly.

 

I would like to edit the previews but

OK Etalis Craftlord you definetaly did not install it correctly.

Or my instructions were not quite clear

Or you have a previews mod that interferes with this.


Let me suggest this.



rename the


c:Sierra\Arcanum\data\ folder to something else


And reaaply my mod.

Now if this does not work this should


Unistall Arcanum.

Install it on a different location or after unistalling delete the



C:\Sierra\Arcanum folder


Install again.

And now reapply my mod.


instead for installing unistalling


rename the


c:Sierra\Arcanum\data\ folder to something else

 

Good work, Chris! I can't wait to see your next Arcanum mod! I particularly liked the secret entrance to Shrouded Hills, The Unnamed Staff, and the inclusion of a god at the end. *cheers for Chris B.*

I'm sure that it must be very difficult to add the new locations and to edit the ending of the game the way you did.

 

uhm is this just me or are there other peaple who get there game crashed after pressing on the options key

 

this mod is great

anna

 

the mod is ok......but the to hit chances are drasticly decreased!!! at full 5 ranks it's only 102% to hit. when it was normaly 200 some-odd % I want that back! because it makes it harder so most of my charcters are now mages..... I prefer to have techies or nutrals.... just wanted you to know


AND YES I KNOW THE LAST POST WAS A MONTH AGO!!!!!

 

Actually, the last post was less than 2 weeks ago. Don't worry. :grin:

 

well I didn't used the options menu but I managed to finish the game

at the beginning it is indeed more easely
but I am not sure about virgil and his girlfriend (they were killed when I planted dynamity on arbalah )
:monkey2:
and not so many traps in 1 location (after the bridge in schrouded hills)
yes I found about 12/13 new locations and yes there where nice done

some nice magick using enemy's (thank god the mage user in original where to be counted at 1 hand)

NICE

and well hidden but after you founded its a damn nice thing

thank god no more using 3 times the maps
:thumbup: artyhat:

all with all very nice mod if you are considering going again true the game
(or if you just bougt the game 0)

damn long post

 

Complete worldmap

Excellent mod, however when I chose to go with Moorindal to slay those "Silly Tarantians" the game went to the slideshow (?). I have a question for whomever feels interested in answering. Is a map with ALL the locations on the world map available (mod locations included)?

Just an addendum: can anyone post the a complete list of locations in CB's mod (with coordinates preferably)?

 

too many damned traps!!!!!!!!

 

mod wont work

:-? i've tryed to download this mod about 9 times , all i get is this file is corrupt. i would love to try it . can some one else check the download to see whats up ? thanks

 

i need help!

im not sure if arcanum is still online... i cant seem to be able to make an account that hasent been there allready..... is it still here?

 

vampire mod

good mod. is there any story with the vampire mod? so far the only special thing is stats

 

that looks like a promising mod, can you go past level 50 now?, oh and does it install over arcanum or is it a mod?

 

Its ok but it needed more good backgrounds and also i did not like
the shortcut in the Black Mountain Mines.

 

I'm never going to download it. Sounds TOO BUGGY. TOO EASY, too!

 

Clearly you haven't heard about the (very) recent update, "Hard Arcanum". I haven't tried it myself, but it does seem to make an effort to up the difficulty. Some bits like the ability to change your followers' leveling schemes at a whim reek of the Baldur's Gate games, but generally it comes off as a noble effort.
