Great changes, well done , kinda agree the npcs in later acts are bit weirdly looking ah

Hope we can see new version soon

After a long break from modding (IRL stuff) I'm back to working on the next update of LoC. Continuing to tweak and rescale values in the mastery skills. There will be not much difference than before, just better progression on leveling. And much less fractional numbers (i always hated them, haha). Stay tuned!

Last few days i made new bitmap icons for all dyes in LoC and NewSkins III:

The latest source files are uploading to Nexus as I write this. I decided to rename the mod to Legion of Champions Reloaded, since year 2024 is long past. When the new update finally comes, you will have to start a new character, be warned. But this will be one time only.

Will dive in once I'm back home and have a PC to play on.

The rescaling of Mastery skills is almost done. I'm finalizing Warfare Mastery today and start to properly implement the Mining system. Here is a preview of new things in Warfare:

A big chunk of work has been done the last few days, and the latest source files are uploaded to Nexus. What is new:
- Re-scaled all Mastery skills to have better level progression
- Mining system is almost finished
- Added granted skills from gems (Mining)
- More immersive NPC icons (over their heads)
- Better sounds and mechanics for Fishing
- Updated both player character meshes to the latest
- Satyr MI slings implemented (part of archer satyrs now use Thrown and can drop them)

Also I set ETA for the next update - somewhere in the beginning of May (I'll try for 1st of May but not promising anything)

Edit - Here is a video showcase:

Beautified some of the Mastery Panels:





At the bottom empty row i plan to add some passive skills, similar to Soulvizier mod:

All the Mastery screens are now updated and beautified. Preview:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Also rearranged some of the icons in the Mastery Selection screen:


All skill trees have 7 columns now for better look.

I won't be ready to release by 1st of May, i need at least a few more weeks to finish everything. Here is some new stuff from the last days:

[nargil66]

The latest source files are on Nexus, but nothing is finished yet. @HekTo has send me an amazing update to his Transmog system. It no longer requires admin rights, and the PATCH folder is no longer needed. Also it's less likely to trigger your antivirus. Changes ingame are - Illusions are now permanent, meaning you don't need to reapply them each time after reloading the mod. Now i have to convert all current illusions, hairs and mounts to the new system, because there are new dedicated templates for transmog.
I will no longer predict a release date for the next patch. The mod will be ready when it's ready. That's it.

No worries and take your time Nargil.  Don't want you burning out because you're trying to rush a lot of stuff into the mod.

That's exactly what happened, lol. I'll have to take a break for a while, until i recover.
