    Now game is easier.16 new quests for the thief have been added. Lots of charms of the gods have been made more powerful.

    Lots of new art added (more than 60 items) including many fashion items. One encounter has been added at the start. General housekeeping .

    Few minor bugs have been fixed .Lighting added to a few areas. Thanks to Zamuka for the bmp2art program.

    You can now play both Arcanum and Hard-Arcanum at the same time with the cost of 1.2 Gigabytes at your hard disk.

    Yeah! Finally we get a substitute for female dwarves! Just create a dwarven character and let it use those nice high heels :)

    Idea for a mod.

    Here comes Magnus the homosexual and his gay friend Geofrey.

    Magnus"All dwarves are homosexual they just don't know it"
    Geoffrey"You won't see peasants wearing these elegant high heels. Well I'm off to resurrect dead fashion desighners for tips and other gay things"

    If you are a sexy hot female you start with high heels.

    If you play a dull man it will be difficult to find high heels .

    But it still can be done ha ha ha .

    Some ladies are known to wear them and you can steal them.

    Imagine you steal them from a woman and they don't know the difference. You would probably see them walking down the street barefooted and on their toes. :lol:

    Yeah, pick pocket is a skill that really makes you wonder. I mean, just like nobody would notice anything if you walked up at them and stripped them off their suit of platemail :roll: ...

    I downloaded the hard-arcanum patch. For some reason i still start off in the Crash Site there are no new locations. The new backgrounds and magic changes have taken effect though. Anyone know why?

    Now voidknight_27 I see that you have posted this

    here .
    On the modding and scripting support forum.
    On the modules review forum.
    And you have sent me a pm about that .

    Let me be very frank .
    I find it very annoying to have to reply on the same question 4 different times.

    Now in addition to my last answer that I have included somewhere in your
    in a different section of the forum where you have posted your question

    Let me ask to read this.

    "This module is compatible with only the 127 level mod.

    It is NOT compatible with any other mod .I strongly recommend to either run this mod alone or if you want to keep the other mods you need to make a copy of Arcanum."

    You are not running any other mod with this one are you ?

    C:\Sierra\Arcanum\

    If you have arcanum installed here .
    In this folder

    F:\Sierra\Arcanum\modules

    The following files must exist

    Arcanum.dat about 348 Mbytes
    Arcanum.PATCH0 about 19 Kilobytes
    Arcanum.PATCH1 16469 Kilobytes.

    Look at this folder and tell me if all 3 folders exist.

    If the last Arcanum.PATCH1 file does not exist there then found out where it is and move it there.

    Try one more time to delete everything
    C:/Sierra/Arcanum/data/proto/
    C:/Sierra/Arcanum/modules/Arcanum/maps/

    Use explorer go in those folder and delete all files inside these 2 folders.

    Then start Arcanum a new char and please post what exactly happens then.

    ok, after i delete the files in the 2 folders, i load the game, 2 movies played, then it starts to load. The short movie, then i go to new game, the new backgrounds are there, so i choose a male, human, background:robot to test the new background. The background works because i got a +4 for str, intell and pe and -4 for con and will. So this all work out. Then the shop. The shop have more items than before, like Li'tan and jewllery and other things that you couldnt buy in the start in the orignal game. But there are no new items. Then the 2 intro movie loads, and after that i am still in the crash site talking to Virgil, and Althea is nowhere to be find. The crash site is still the same. I walk around and all the dead npcs have more items on them and some monsters says 'fire immune'. But there are no new changes to buildings, towns, items or npcs.

    I read from the instructions that you have to rename C:\Sierra\Arcanum\modules\Arcanum\maps to NOMODmaps. what does that do and it is necessary?

    You said that you have done it ?

    You either have to rename the folder OR go in the folder and delete everything.


    This folder has the map cache for Arcanum.

    If you do not delete everything inside or rename the folder then
    OF COURSE you will not see anything new . :x

    Go and delete everything in this folder or rename it.
