Polished CarArcanum

Are there any mods or hacks (other then the Level 127 that I am using) that are compatible with CarArcanum? It would be really nice to be able to use a hack that had shop keepers re-stock all item options (or most at least) so I did not have to waste hours of my life (especially when I can only play is small increments and not to often at that :-x ) resting to technical components. Or dose anyone have an already changed CarArcanum compatible file they could send me?


I have also tried using some modding/editing tools to edit/tweak some of the backgrounds, but I kept crashing my game. After having wasted three days on it :x , I have given up completely on my editing or changing the game successfully.

For the record, no. But I was able to get the shopkeeper hack to work.
It's available in the download section.

I am amazed that you were able to add the Level 127 without undo problems because - if memory serves - the Car-Arcanum install replaces the Arcanum.exe.

 

I used to have trouble untill I learned that all I needed to do was install the officual patch, PolishedCarArcanum and then deleat/overwrite the exe file with the one from Level 127.

by the way, where DO I get a shopkeeper hack? I dont see one anywhere, but I have read about it.

How did you get it working? What did you do?

 

Here it is:
http://www.terra-arcanum.com/downloads/arcanum/doa/invensource.zip

Since I'm at work, I'll just have to say unpack it and follow the instructions.

 

Wont it replace all the custom items that are in CarArcanum? Or make it so the items that chrisbeddoes made will not be for sale at the shops?

 

It didn't for me. Everything that was for sale, placed or scripted, popped up exactly as it was supposed to.

 

Ok I tried it and it works mostly. In the new Shop in Shrouded Hills, the shopkeeper on the Right hand side only has a few items that ChrisB made and nothing else. But other then that it works.

 

That didn't happen to me.

Which one did you go with - InvenSource1 or 2?

I went with #2 just for the hell of it and had no troubles. Don't think I got around to trying #1.

OH! I just thought of something. Did you add this during the game?
Like after you had already visited the new merchants.....

Such a change can cause problems.

 

I did, but then I started over with the same results. I used Version 2, lots of fun.

 

I remember now! (It's been over a year since I last played Car-Arcanum.)

Anthony uses the multi-herbalist inventory. When combined with Chris's additions, it's too much for his inventory to hold. That's why the scripted items aren't showing.

Find line 113 on the InvenSource. It's written in code that reads like this: 2000,14080.
Delete two (2) of these at a time from the end of the listing (ie: 2000,14080 2000,14080), and test the game after each deletion.

I forget how many I had to remove, but it wasn't much before Anthony had a full inventory.

Be sure to take it from the end of the line though!

 

Ok trying

 

Are you sure line 113 is right? I have cut an awfull lot of it out now and testing each time and still no luck. It seems to me the other shopkeeper seems to be more of an herbalist to me.

 

the shopkeeper that I am having trouble with is "Anthony"

The shopkeeper who is fine is "christopher"

 

Confirmed Line 113 is for the Shopkeeper "Christopher" (just Up and left in the same room) of Anthony who has the extream inventory shortage.

 

This + old memories + fatigue = total screw-up!

First things first. Replace or over-write the InvenSource to undo the deletions.

Given that 113 isn't right, the correct one would be 112: Multi - General Store.

Sorry for the bad info.

 

Great, thank you. I am out of time tonight to try it but will give it a shot tomarrow night

 

Are there Arcane Sets in CarArcanum that when compleated grant bonuses? I have heard rumors but I have never been able to do it or find the sets.

 

Well I got it to final work on the merchant, thanks very much for your help!

Unfortunatly the Wilderness traiders are without cloths and inventory, just some gold. I am guessing that they, too, are overloaded in the script. I dont relish the thought of going through dozens of scripts, and starting up the game after ever item deleation, it would take days

rroyo, do you have your eddited file? The one that works With Polished CarArcanum? Would it be possible for you to send it to me? Please?

 

Check your e-mail.
I sent both the InvenSource and the InvenSourceBuy files.

If you don't get them, drop me an e-mail and I try again as a reply.

 

Awsome! I got them, do they both go into my "C:\Games\Arcanum\data\rules" directory? Also, will these work with CarArcanum (WOndering Merchants, new merchants, onld ect) ?

Is the InvenSource file original from the inventory hack option 1 or 2?
