[MOD] Enhanced Gameplay 2 (EE)
« on: 31 October 2017, 22:10:10 »
~ ABOUT THIS MOD ~

Enhanced Gameplay is a "quality of life" mod, which tries to add more features to the game without breaking its balance. The main features of this modpack are:

1. Expanded Caravan/Inventory - Increases Caravan and Inventory space.
2. Alternative Music - replaces some of the vanilla music
3. Character Retextures - changes the looks of player characters and adds many new outfits, gifted by the gods themselves!
4. Pack Animals - allow the player to summon pack animals, which act as portable caravan drivers.
5. Hirelings - adds summonable mercenaries, which fight on the player's side
6. Alternative Main Menu - changes the main menu screen and its zoom
8. Tweaked UI - changes some of the interface elements, adds new fonts and text colors.
9. Item Changes - changes visuals of some items, adds new sparkle effects, drop sound, flavour lore text and shows hidden affixes
10. And more...

~ 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).

So for use with the main game, LoC, Xmax and M4ssboss3s mods I would use the main game download?

There will be issue with XMAX and maxbosses i suppose, becuz their gamengine.dbr doesnt have increased inventory space. But i can try make a version that includes it. I'll update the description to explain whe difference. LoC works without problem.
I plan to add more features to the mod when i have time, like portable caravan, item filters and MI showes affixes.

Okay nargil66.  I'll check the Xmax mod and see what I have in the AE version.  Haven't played for a few months since I've been concentrating on GD so can't remember whether the version of the XL Caravan I have at the moment has larger space there or not.

Bumbleguppy incorporated the larger Caravan into his LoC mod iirc.  Not sure which version of it though.

Yes, I do have a bigger personal stash in the caravan with Xmax.  Transfer stash size is still the same though, so any way to enlarge that would be good.  :)

What version of Xmax are you playing? Give me a link, and I'll try merging the two.

Not sure nargil66.  Looking at the Xmax WinRAR file it was installed in June 2015, under the Properties in Archive it says version to be extracted 2.0 and the zipped file is 7.93kb.  The AE version says the same for the version extract, but only 19.1kb zipped. It's XmaxTQAE version 1.42.

What I have ingame is just the expanded storage that Nordic put into the AE version when they made it so that's what appears for Xmax as well.

What sort of link?

Here you go Medea, merged with Xmax. Downloded from KirmiziPerfect, same as Steam version. Wasn't sure which one you play, so I merged all. Tell me if there are any problems.

Thanks nargil66.  I'll try that out for Xmax asap.  I have both GD AND TQAE on GOG, only have GD for playtesting purposes on Steam.  I prefer non-DMR versions of games if I can get them.

For Sauruz:


This is LoC with the new UI. Issues that i've seen so far:
1. DONT click on Rune mastery, choose some of the old masteries. I did that mistake and had to do a new character.
2. Bag buttons use the old vanilla icons. I'll fix this later today and update this post.
3. Start new character, just in case.

I'll try tansfer Deities mod to new expansion anyway, maybe i'll find out what causes the invisible Rune mastery in LoC.
P.S. I hope Bumble doesnt get mad at me for touching his mod :/
