    <b>Sinbad</b> has made what amounts to his own patch for <a href="http://arcanum.sierra.com/">Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura</a>. It's a collection of some of the most downloaded fan-made hacks, like the 127 level-cap. Here's the full list of what's inside:
    <br><ul><a href="http://www.terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/dload.php?action=file&file_id=42">Sinbad's Ship's Cabin & Cargo Hold with Composite Fixes</a>
    <br><li>my own Ship's Cabin and Cargo Hold addon which have logical entries on the ship's deck and may have goodies and the script and dialogue files to support it,
    <br><li>my modification to the Ship's Wheel dialogs to allow you to go to any available port once you have a ship, but be warned that if you go to the Isle of Despair you will probably lose your ship.
    <br><li>a large portrait pack - including a large selection from Galleria Arcanum, <a href="http://galleriaarcanum.50megs.com/">http://galleriaarcanum.50megs.com/</a> and others,
    <br><li>42 new backgrounds (over the original), 3 of them my own creations, but I have edited several of them to correct what I saw as problems with grammar, logic or balance, so feel free to modify them for your own personal use if you don't like my modifications,
    <br><li>all of the various fixes I have found from Otto Krupp, although I have implemented some of those fixes by actually going deeper into the game files and editing the source of the problem myself - you DO have to keep backups of some proto files, so I have created a backup directory called Extrasproto for them,
    <br><li>my own fix to the potassium nitrate ART file error so it will no longer appear as a camera, but looks like saltpeter,
    <br><li>I regenerated the Black Root townmap so it shows the entrance to the railroad tunnel so you can navigate the map properly.
    <br><li>my own fix to what I consider an imbalance in the rewards given by Mrs. Cameron. The change is based primarily on value not on the quality of the weapon. I've also let her give Elves and Half-elves something special and non-magical to help with their technological woes. <b>NOTE: </b>The special proto files MUST be in place for this and my
    <br>backgrounds to work properly.
    <br><li>the 127-level crack by Duncann,
    <br><li>the InvenSource hack, with my own contributions to it, including an additional inventory source that is necessary for my Ship Cabin and Cargo Hold addon</ul>
    <br>It's a hefty 16 MB file but well worth it. You can download the fan made patch from our downloads section here: <a href="http://www.terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/dload.php?action=file&file_id=42">Sinbad's Ship's Cabin & Cargo Hold with Composite Fixes</a>.
