~ INSTALLATION ~This mod can be used both as a soft mod (loaded from custom quest) and as a hard mod (playing from the main game). It requires Ragnarok and Atlantis expansions!
To make it a soft mod:
- Place "EGA" folder in "My Documents/My Games/Titan Quest - Immortal Throne/CustomMaps" folder. Start the game and launch the mod from Custom Quest menu.
To make it a hard mod:
- Take folders "Database", and "Resources" from the "EGA" folder and place them in your main game's instalation folder with replace. You may want to back up your original files first: Database/database.arz and Resources/Quests.arc.
OR
- Make a copy of your entire TQ:AE game folder and replace in the new one (i highly recommend this method for GoG versions, especially if you play another hard mod - this way there will be no conflicts).
- If you install on top of a previous EGA hard mod, you don't need to backup anything.
---Unlocking the Caravan space for MAIN GAME version---1. First, move items from transfer stash, personal stashes and relic vault to TQ Vault or mule characters.
2. When its all empty, replace with the new database.
3. Then go to "My Documents/My Games/TitanQuest - Immortal Throne/SaveData/Main". For each of your existing charactes, delete the following files:
winsys.dxb
winsys.dxg
This will fully expand personal stashes of your existing characters (items left there will be deleted)
4. Next, while still in SaveData folder, go to "SaveData/Sys" and delete the following files:
miscsys.dxb
miscsys.dxg
winsys.dxb
winsys.dxg
This will fully expand the shared (Transfer and Relic) stashes (any item left there will be deleted).
5. Start the game. Everything should be unlocked now.
---Unlocking the Caravan space for CUSTOM MAPS version ONLY---To unlock Shared Stash for EGA only (does NOT affect the main game or other mods):
1. Go to "My Games / Titan Quest - Immortal Throne / SaveData / Sys / EGA" directory.
2. Delete winsys.dxb and winsys.dxg (This will erase all items that you have left in EGA's Shared Stash. Back up or move them first).
To unlock Personal Stash for existing LoC characters (it should be unlocked by default for the new ones):
1. Go to "My Games / Titan Quest - Immortal Throne / SaveData / User / *EGA Character Name*" directory.
2. Delete winsys.dxb and winsys.dxg (This will erase all items that you have left in that character's Personal Stash. Back up or move them first).
