Modifications / A curious fact about game text files
« on: 31 October 2020, 04:13:25 »
For those who are making translations or text repacks for hard mods, there is a trick that can be useful to you:
The game text files with all the tags consist of almost 50 pieces (e.g. commonequipment.txt, dialog.txt, monsters.txt and so on) BUT all these files have a root file and that root is Dialog.txt. That means if you recompile all text files into 1 big text file and you name it dialog.txt, all tags will still display if you've kept the encoding intact.
As proof I give a link to the full Bulgarian translation recompiled in just Dialog.txt:
https://mega.nz/file/xGwkiLqA#_40e5eVax5-kj3woiano_eEZZlDSpucmrsLOe3ZstzY
To test, make a Text_EN folder in your Database folder and put this file in.
Moreover, if the tags in dialog.txt are duplicates with tags from other text file, they will always overwrite them, even for Xpack2 and 3.

Art Manager / [Tutorial] In-Game Guide to Skill Templates
« on: 22 October 2020, 21:25:30 »
For those who have problems figuring out what which templates to use for their skills, here are some directions. I'll try to keep things as simple as i can. There are only few template descriptions for the moment, but the tutorial will be expanded in future. Here we go:

A BRIEF GUIDE TO SKILL TEMPLATES


1. DEBUFF SKILLS

Skill_AttackBuff.tpl
Casts a debuff on a single target (always ignores radius of the linked skill). It can be linked to one of the following templates:
> SkillBuff_Contageous.tpl (e.g. Plague)
> SkillBuff_Debuf.tpl (e.g. Study Prey)
> SkillBuff_DebufFreeze.tpl (e.g. Freezing Blast)
> SkillBuff_DebufTrap.tpl (e.g. Ensnare)

Skill_AttackBuffRadius.tpl
Casts a debuff over a chosen area, affecting multiple targets in radius. It can be linked to one of the following templates:
> SkillBuff_Contageous.tpl (e.g. Plague)
> SkillBuff_Debuf.tpl (e.g. Study Prey)
> SkillBuff_DebufFreeze.tpl (e.g. Freezing Blast)
> SkillBuff_DebufTrap.tpl (e.g. Ensnare)

Skill_AttackProjectileDebuf.tpl
Similar to Skill_AttackBuff.tpl, but the spell is cast by one or more projectiles (so it can miss the target). Can be linked to one of the following templates:
> SkillBuff_Contageous.tpl (e.g. Plague)
> SkillBuff_Debuf.tpl (e.g. Study Prey)
> SkillBuff_DebufFreeze.tpl (e.g. Freezing Blast)
> SkillBuff_DebufTrap.tpl (e.g. Ensnare)

2. BUFF SKILLS

Skill_BuffOther.tpl
> SkillBuff_BuffImmobilize.tpl (e.g. Stone Form)
> SkillBuff_Passive.tpl (e.g. Call of the Hunt, Dark Covenant, Rally)

Skill_BuffRadius.tpl
This type of skill can be linked to both buffs and debuffs, affecting the area around the caster (moving with him). It can be used with the following templates:
> SkillBuff_Debuf.tpl (e.g. Study Prey)
> SkillBuff_DebufFreeze.tpl (e.g. Freezing Blast)
> SkillBuff_DebufTrap.tpl (e.g. Ensnare)
> SkillBuff_Passive.tpl (e.g. Call of the Hunt, Dark Covenant, Heat Shield, Herbal Remedy, Rally,)
> SkillBuff_PassiveDebuff.tpl (e.g. Triumph)

3. SUMMONING SKILLS

Skill_AttackProjectileSpawnPet.tpl 
Summon one or several pets using projectile(s) (e.g. Sylvan Nymph summon projectile).Can be made to deal damage or cause status effects like Stun.

SkillSecondary_PetSpawn.tpl
Currently not used by any skill in the game, but its pretty cool. In difference to other pet summoning skills it can be made a modifier to one of the following base skill templates:
> Skill_AttackRadius.tpl
> Skill_BuffRadius.tpl
This means you can add Ancestral Warriors directly to the base War Horn skill as a modifier, using SkillSecondary_PetSpawn.tpl. Or you can add wolves as secondary summons to Call of The Hunt... it opens some possibilities.

4. PROJECTILE SKILLS

Skill_AttackProjectile.tpl
(e.g. Volcanic Orb, Thunderball) - Launches one or several damaging projectiles, which can have explosion radius or chance to pass through enemies. How the projectiles will behave depends on the projectile template linked to it.

Skill_AttackProjectileAreaEffect.tpl
(e.g. Eruption, Squall, Vision of Death)

Skill_AttackProjectileBurst.tpl
(e.g. Throwing Knife, Ice Shard)

Skill_AttackProjectileFan.tpl
(e.g. Flame Surge) - Fires a number of projectiles in an arc in front of the caster.

Skill_AttackProjectileRing.tpl
(e. g. Liche King's Arcane Blast) - Fires a number of projectiles in circle around the caster, or if you decrease the rotation angle, in front of him (similar to AttackProjectileFan). Rotation angle of 0 can make a focused "stream" of projectiles if their number is set to more than one.

Skill_AttackRadius.tpl
(e.g. War Horn)

Skill_AttackRadiusLightning.tpl
(e.g. Lightning Bolt)

Skill_AttackSpell.tpl
(e.g. Enslave Spirit)

Skill_AttackChain.tpl

skill_AttackProjectileMultiHit.tpl

----

5. UNDEFINED ATM

Skill_AttackInherent.tpl
Found only in a single monster skill (records/skills/monsterskills/attack_melee/bogdweller_bite.dbr). I'm not sure what is the difference from normal attack.

Skill_BuffEffect.tpl
I couldnt make this template to work or find any other file that links to it.

Other Modifications / [MOD] Egyptian Chariot (Alpha)
« on: 28 February 2020, 13:59:49 »


After a long delay, i managed to bring the Charioteer mod to a relatively playable state. Features and info:
- Play as an Egyptian royalty, riding a chariot with two horses
- The Character can use only ranged weapons - bow, thrown, dual thrown, staff. Melee weapons will not work!
- No matter what dye you use, the character will stay the same look
- Helmets are made always invisible
- The mod is more for testing and fun than for actual playing, as the chariot is sometimes difficult to control.

Known Issues:
- Weapon Attack Speeds are displaying incorectly (much higher)
- The mod can conflict with existing characters. It's recommended to start with a new one.

Link to the alpha version:

Texture & Skin Modding / (Tutorial) Making Animated Textures
« on: 05 February 2020, 01:28:18 »
Credit for this tutorial goes to Skylla from Grim Dawn forums:
https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/creating-animated-texture/32223

The method explained here uses TextureCompiler found in your main game folder via Windows Command Line. Using it you will be able to combine multiple TGA textures into a single animated TEX file.  Here is an example of animated texture:



Part I - Initial Setup

Before you start making the textures you want to combine, there are few preparations that need to be done. Here are the steps for setting up:

1.   In Windows, go to Search Panel and in the empty field type: cmd

Spoiler for Hiden:

Right Click on command prompt and pin it to your taskbar for faster access later.

2.   Run it. You will see something like this:

Spoiler for Hiden:

In this case, my current location is C:\Users\User. Yours will probably be different.

3.   Now open Windows Explorer and go to that directory (whatever it is), and inside it create a new folder. Let’s name it “TQ” (this will be your working folder for animated textures).

Spoiler for Hiden:

4.   Next, go to your main Titan Quest installation folder. Copy the following files:
TextureCompiler.exe
devil.dll

Then paste them in the “TQ” folder you crated:

Spoiler for Hiden:

5. You are set to go.

Part II – Making the textures

As in all animations, animated textures consist of separate parts or frames. For the above example with the rainbow glowing armbands I used 18 parts total. Here is how they look before combining:

Spoiler for Hiden:

The trick in most cases is to make the texture to “loop” - starting and ending with the same shape (or color in this case), while gradually changing in between, before it completes the animation circle. Example of looping animated sequence with changing shape:

Spoiler for Hiden:

You get the idea.

Part III – Combining the Textures into TEX

After you’re done with the different parts of the texture sequence, place them all inside the “TQ” folder you created before. It should look like this:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Its better if you use simple names or numbers (less writing after). I just named them from 1.tga to 18.tga
Now open the command prompt again, and in the empty field type: cd TQ

Spoiler for Hiden:

Press Enter. This will redirect you to the TQ subfolder in your User directory, where TexCompiler and your textures are located (“cd” stands for “change directory”):

Spoiler for Hiden:

You are ready to combine the TGAs.
 
A general example of a command is this:

“TextureCompiler filename1.tga filename2.tga filename3.tga -fps 15 -format dxt5 animatedtexture.tex”

“fps 15” stands for frames per second – of this number depends how fast your animated texture will change or loop. Higher number will make it fast, lower will slow it down.
“format dxt5” is the conversion method – I assume you can put dxt1 or dxt3 there at least.

In my case with 18 parts I used the following command:
TextureCompiler 1.tga 2.tga 3.tga 4.tga 5.tga 6.tga 7.tga 8.tga 9.tga 10.tga 11.tga 12.tga 13.tga 14.tga 15.tga 16.tga 17.tga 18.tga -fps 9 -format dxt5 rainbowarmbands.tex

Spoiler for Hiden:

Press Enter. If you did everything right, the animated TEX file should appear in your working “TQ” folder with the other files.

Bulgaria / Сказание за Троесвет
« on: 10 October 2019, 11:43:29 »
За феновете на фентъзи жанра, тук искам да споделя един мой опит за легенди, базирани на нашия си български, балкански и славянски фолклор. Писах ги преди години, просто за кеф, и макар да не съм писател, все пак си ги харесвам :). Надявам се да ви харесат и на вас.

Вдъхновявал съм се най-вече от Толкиновия "Силмарилион", както и от български и славянски и легенди за митологични същества - змейове, самодиви, великани и пр. Без повече приказки, нека ви представя легендите от света на Троесвет...


СКАЗАНИЕ ЗА ТРОЕСВЕТ
(Из Преданията на Валхун Мъдреца)


Тук е разказана историята на  Трите Земи, каквато е останала до днес в писанията на влъхви, сказатели и пророци. Помнете, люде, това сказание за богове и смъртни, за мрак и светлина, за радост и скръб. Предайте го и на своите потомци – та да знаят откъде са дошли – и  нека не потъват в забрава делата велики на предците ни.


ЧАСТ ПЪРВА. ЕПОХАТА НА ЗОРАТА


Казано е, че преди раждането на Твореца да даде Начало на Епохите, нямало ни земя,  ни море, ни небе. Не било  ни  жарко, ни хладно; нямало добро и зло. Нощ безгранична се простирала из всемира - предвечна и несътворена; спяща, чакаща своето пробуждане; пуста, и  все пак Майка на всичко. А дълбоко в  диплите  на  Нощта  туптяло онова, що е нейно сърце – огненото Яйце на Сътворението.
Никой не знае колко дълго продължил сънят на Великата Нощ. И боговете не знаят – дори техните могъщи умове не могат да надзърнат в онази епоха на безвремието. Но когато най-сетне дошъл мигът на Пробудата, потръпнало Вселенското Яйце. Набъбнала  черупката  му  и се пропукала, а отвътре бликнала Светлина. Накрая Яйцето  се разчупило и се пръснало на безброй отломки.
С разчупването на Вселенското Яйце, от белтъците му произлезли първичните стихии. Те се разлетели из дълбините на Великата Нощ; и Нощта вече не била пуста. А от самото Яйце излетял Онзи, когото наричат Род Вседържеца, още Вестител на Зората и Син на Началото – и Той имал облика на исполински Орел с величави криле. Тъй било дадено Началото на всичко, що е било, е, и ще бъде, чак до края на времето и Великия Завършек.

* * *

Полетял Род-Орелът из пределите на Нощта; ала докъдето и да скитал, край не достигал. Съзнал Той, че е единствен в безкрайността и вечността, и самота дълбока налегнала сърцето му. Провикнал се тогава Род към Великата Нощ:
- Безименна Майко, ти, която обгръщаш  всичко  в  непрогледни пелени, чуй плача ми! Пребродих те надлъж и нашир, ала не намерих друг освен себе си. Нима съм се пробудил в теб, за  да  остана  сам навеки, без да срещна сродна душа? Такава ли съдба си ми отредила?
И казват, че Великата Нощ чула неговото ридание. Едва били заглъхнали думите Родови, когато от дълбините проехтял крясък на друга птица. Сетне от тъмнината изплувала сребриста Сова – това била Мокоша Орисницата, Вестителка на Нощта и Богиня на Съдбата.
- Не ще си сам, Сине на Началото! - изкряскала Совата. - Съдба повика ти и сама Съдбата ще бъде твоя спътница в Епохите, които има да дойдат!
Възрадвал се Род на нечаканата среща; и полетели заедно двете първи божества. Те станали неразделни, а не след дълго се свързали и в свещен съюз. От всички богове единствена Мокоша е равна на Род, защото е творение на самата Велика Нощ. Само тя знае що става в сърцето Родово и може да надзърне в дълбините на неговия промисъл. Казват, че никой освен самия Вседържец не може да промени каквото тя е предначертала.

* * *

След като двамата Вестители се венчали, Род решил да съгради свят, който да бъде техен дом. А суров и неоформен  бил  всемирът  – частици от началните стихии се носели безцелно из пределите му.
Огнени пламъци плували из безкрая и късове земя, вълма от вихър и мъглявини от водни пари. Само петата стихия - ефирът, била
безплътна.
Взел тогава Род поравно от всичките пет стихии и ги смесил в Кълбо, зареяно в безкрая. По волята му, различните стихии в Кълбото
започнали да се разделят, докато се подредили в пет Пояса, всеки във вътрешността на предишния. В сърцето на Кълбото бил Поясът на огнената стихия, във вид на топка от течен пламък; обгръщали го Пояси от земна твърд и водна шир, следвал въздушен океан, а най- отгоре бил Поясът на чистия ефир.
Така било създадено Кълбото на Мирозданието с неговите Пет Пояса, които свещените книги наричат още Петте Селения; всеки отделен Пояс щял да получи и много други имена. Именно от техните стихии черпят мощта си днешните вълшебници и алхимици;  те  са първоизвор на живота, люлка на боговете и основа на познатия ни свят.
Макар светът да бил вече сътворен, не бил привършил своя труд Вседържецът. Със свещената си мощ, Той притеглил огъня от най- долния Пояс на петте стихии. Избликнал нагоре огънят и надигнал
следващия Пояс – земната твърд. Тъй смесени, огън и земя израснали като необятен остров насред водите; горещ бил островът, та облаци изпарения се възнесли в небесата. По волята на Род, сред острова се издигнал белоснежен камък – това бил Алтир, Камъкът на Душите, с който е обвързана съдбата на целия свят. Оградил  Род  Камъка  с обръча на Непристъпните Планини, а сетне кацнал на него, за да си почине.

* * *

Заселили се двамата Богове-Вестители в новия свят; и ето че Мокоша дарила Род със синове. Те били двамина Богове-Соколи, първородни чеда на Вседържеца.
Първият Сокол бил цял окъпан в светлина. Това бил онзи, когото жреците наричат Световит, още Повелител на Светлината и Застъпник на Правдата.
Вторият Сокол бил целият изтъкан от тъмнина. Него смъртните наричат Чернобог, а още Господар на Мрака и Творец на Злото.
С появата на Световит и Чернобог се появило и раздвоение във Всемирния ред – вече нищо не можело да съществува без своята
противоположност. Защото как можем да разпознаем бялото, ако го няма черното?
Винаги е била непримирима враждата между Светлина и Мрак. Още щом се съзрели, Белият и Черният Сокол надали яростни писъци и се нахвърлили един срещу друг. С тътен страшен се сблъскали двамата, що разтърсил Мирозданието и пробудил яростта на стихиите.
Забушувал огненият Пояс, разтресъл се земният, развълнувало се вечното море. Дълго се борили Братята и изглеждало, че ту единият,  ту другият ще надвие; ала както денят надделява над нощта само за кратко, а после сменят местата си, тъй и никой от тях не успявал да вземе надмощие.
Прогърмял тогава гласът на Род:
– Спрете! Никой от двама ви не е  по-могъщ  или  по-достоен  в  очите ми! Всеки от вас носи половината ми сила; но поискам ли, мога да я отнема! Вместо да  мерите мощта  си  в  битка, използвайте я с  разум!  – а сетне продължил: – Чуйте сега моята воля! Островът, върху който проляхте кръвта си, ще бъде граница на  вашите  владения.  Никой  от вас не ще го притежава! Наместо това, нека под него и над него всеки съгради своя собствена земя, където да царува!

* * *

Усмирили се Световит и Чернобог, макар да не стихнала ненавистта помежду им; и всеки от двамата се захванал да извае своя свят. В Пояса на ефира Световит изградил Горната земя, наречена още Прав или Небесно царство. Само най-чистите духове отиват в онези блажени земи, където живеят сред самите Богове. Казват, че там всичко е изтъкано от сънища и блян; нищо не тлее и не увяхва, няма болка, ни старост, ни болест; а растенията са отрупани с плод, предостатъчен да нахрани всички, и още да остане.
Островът още не бил изстинал, когато Чернобог издълбал в недрата му необятна пещера. На дъното й устроил Долната земя, наричана още
Нав или Подземно царство. Тя била неприветлива и мрачна, а в днешни времена е земя на мъката и страданието. В нея отиват душите на онези смъртни, които приживе са загърбили правдата – докато се пречистят и въплътят отново по Закона на Кръговрата.
Самият свят-остров, на който живеем ние сега, бил наречен Яв, що
значи "зрим", а отпосле получил името Смъртни земи. Именно на този Среден свят било отредено да се превърне в поле  за  нестихващата битка между Светлина и Мрак, която продължава и до днес  –  а навярно ще трае чак до свършека на времето.
Докато Братята още съграждали своите светове, Род отишъл до камъка Алтир; и в подножието му посадил малка дъбова фиданка. Това била фиданката на Всемирното Дърво, което щяло да бъде крепител на света. Расло дръвцето не за дни, а за часове – на всеки час то утроявало размера си. Докато накрая се превърнало в исполински Дъб – тъй голям, че клоните му достигали Небесното царство, а корените се спускали до Долна Земя. Род нарекъл дъба Първораст, защото бил посаден пръв – той е безсмъртен като самите богове.
Когато всичко било готово, Род дал име на Кълбото с неговите Три Земи – Троесвет. Така го знаем до днес; и велико е това творение на Бога-Праотец.

* * *

Скоро след като Троесвет бил  поделен  между  двамата му  синове,  Род се сдобил и с две дъщери. Те били близначките Дива и Мора – повелителки на духовете в Зримия и Незримия свят. Още с раждането им, в подножието на Всемирния Дъб бликнали два извора - единият с жива, а другият с мъртва вода.
Дива, Покровителката на Живота, била прекрасна и нежна като ранна пролет, със зелени коси, цялата окъпана в златно сияние; и където минела, след нея избуявали уханни треви. Още щом я зърнал, възлюбил я Световит; захласнал се той по нея, та не можел да откъсне очи.
Мора, Властителката на Смъртта, била колкото красива, толкова и зловеща – с бледа снага и коси от непрогледна тъма; а минела ли по стъпките на сестра си Дива, под нозете й всичко вехнело и гинело.
Съгледал я Чернобог и закопнял по мрачната й хубост; че му била тъй сродна по природа.
И рекъл Род на синовете си:
– Нека сега всеки от вас  вземе за своя спътница онази, която е близка  на сърцето му.
Световит взел за невеста Дива; помежду им се зародила любов дълбока и чиста. Тяхно обиталище станало Небесното царство; ала в бъдни времена Покровителката често се спускала в Средния свят, където била по-близко до смъртните създания. Че милее тя за живите твари повече от всяко друго божество.
Чернобог се венчал за Мора; те съградили своите чертози в мрачните дълбини на Долна Земя. Най-вярна помощница в злините станала Мора на своя съпруг; а между тях имало както страст, така и непрестанни раздори.
Тъй били сключени двата съюза между Божествата-Сили, на които само Великият Дъб станал свидетел; и от тях произлязло ново поколение богове.

Modifications / How to import lights in MeshView/Viewer?
« on: 24 July 2019, 19:22:03 »
I see in both programs there is an option to import custom light settings. Does anyone knows how to save or export lights from the game? Or are they located somewhere? I'd love to import Helos light, instead of relaunching the game 100 times...

Installation and Tools / Paint.Net - Selected Plugins
« on: 29 March 2019, 01:36:39 »
Hi, I want to share some plugins for Paint.Net that I find very useful when making textures. I know most people use Photoshop or Gimp, but Bumbleguppy uses it for sure... Anyway, here is the archive for anyone who needs:
https://mega.nz/#!IaAE0SoZ!HU6yHbFUY1oVNzzSPUucfUvEiVqabUOuMFkZEOSaPIs
I had hundreds of plugins in my last install, but most were useless and made the program to crash very often. So I removed the junk and left only the good ones. You can download the latest Paint.Net from here: https://www.getpaint.net/
Unpack the plugin archive and put the files/folders inside in your Paint.Net installation directory.

Edit - Updated plugins for the current version of Paint.Net (5.0.3):

Other Modifications / Using Tamschi's MeshView
« on: 01 March 2019, 18:37:38 »
Original description of MeshView by Tamschi:

Spoiler for Hiden:
I'm working on a new mesh viewer for TQ and IT:



This is an early screenshot, but you can already see the default material. It's a gradient based on the texture coordinates, so the borders you see are where the texture is stitched.



The program supports loading more than one mesh at a time and the meshes' source folders are automatically scanned for textures. (The texture's extension is ignored, it starts with the shortest matching filename, in alphabetical order, then proceeds to the longer ones.)



Supported texture formats are TQ textures and XNA or WIC compatible image files:
tex, dds, dib, hdr, pfm, ppm, tga, jpeg, tiff, gif, png, bmp and HD Photo + any WIC plugins installed on the computer.



Additive shaders are rendered as emissive textures, so it is possible to preview glowing auras.



The background color can be changed the same way as the colors of the lights. Text inputs in MeshView are somewhat different from those in most other programs: Because there are no input dialogs or save buttons every input is applied directly to the rendering. If the input is invalid, the background turns red and the value is ignored until it changes to a valid one. If a valid value is entered, the text field's background turns green as soon as the changes are applied.
(In case there is an input that takes some time to process, the text field will first turn yellow and then green or red to show whether the changes have been saved.)

I finished the save module for meshes, so this is now a functional mesh editor.

The COLLADA export seems to be easier than I though: I finished a very basic export for vertex positions and normals! The code is relatively simple, so I should be able to add texture support and skeleton export in the next few days.



Imports are more complicated, but it's doable.

I finally got the texture coords working:



Softimage's crosswalk import seems to be picky about where I link the vertex parameters, so I moved it where every 3D program can understand it. I still had to manually select the textures, because the program didn't recognize the effect definitions. The next thing I want to add are bone definitions and proper rigging...

On a side note: I ran a test on some of the msh files: Most were working fine, but some of the shader definitions contained duplicate texture references. I added a workaround, but the exporter's behaviour may differ from the game's when loading these meshes.

The bone indices in the weights are a bit... strange. You can sort them manually with the panel under "Vertices".

---

I updated MeshView to version 1.2. It's now portable and you can import .obj files over existing meshes. It's similar to MeshDrawCS' import function in that you need a base mesh to load a .obj, but works properly, merges multiple normals per vertex and lets you import small meshes over larger ones to create objects with any number of vertices and triangles.
(The last one is untested, should work though...)

Hey, I'm trying to make a list of the better magical affixes for the item filter mod. I'm asking the dedicated players here - can you point out some good yellows (to be left yellow in the filter instead of white)? Especially in higher difficulties.

Other Modifications / Suggestions for expanding the modding limits
« on: 21 January 2019, 14:24:37 »
This post contains suggestions from the modders of titanquestfans.net for lifting the engine/template limitations. Here is the current list of suggestions, including my own:

Bumbleguppy

1. Add skill augment/mastery augment and item skill to the set template. Arrays, not variables please. If only the skill level values and not the file path.

2. Fix racial damage in petbonus template, if not fixed already.

3. Add Left Mouse Button Availability bit to all skill templates.

4. Single button auto targeting for projectile skills. Just target wherever my mouse is, no extra click required.

5. Add "reduces resistance X" to the base offensive duration skill template for all damage types. All we have is reduce ALL resistance duration.

nargil66

1. Add option for multiple playing characters with dropdown box in character creation UI. The more slots, the better. My idea:
 
Spoiler for Hiden:
2. Add more weapon animations categories.  At least double count. This can allow making equippable mounts, though crude.

3. Make all UI elements moddable.  Encountered problems:
-  Merchant window grid cannot be expanded by record editing, despite the template option.
-  Character windows cannot go in front of the lower part of the HUD.                   
-  Parts of the compass bitmap are hardcoded and cannot be moved or deleted.

4. Possibility for community localizations.

5. Include all damage types, damage modifiers and special conditions to retaliation damages (like % Elemental retaliation, Fear retaliation, etc)

6. Projectilename variables for staff and thrown in the weaponechantmentpak template.

7. % Chance of % Total Damage Absorbtion.

8. More slots for Monster Race.

9. Projectile count of weapon skills like Volley to be changed to Array.

WNG

1. More slots for Augment Skill/Mastery.
       
2. More special animation slots.

3. More slots in LootRandomizerTable.tpl. More will allow to not not spread affix tables over mutliple files

4. More slots on the players mastery trees, quest trees and potion trees

5. More slots for LootTableRandomizer, LootTableMasterTable and LootTable_FixedWeight

6. %Chance of Racial Damage

7. % Duration Modifier for all special conditions (Trap, Fear, Freeze, Petrify...)

8. Modifier, ModifierChance and DurationModifier to offensiveSlowTotalSpeed

9. Min-Max to offensiveTotalDamageModifier

Prosoro

Editor:
1. Implement vertical pivot and rotation axis for all assets, ensuring more customization and varied environments etc.  Currently everything can only be rotated on a horizontal axis.

2. Fix dungeon grid portals.  Many of these are broken and majority are problematic - often will only link to a handful of opposite portals with many others failing to link correctly.  Basically a process of elimination until you find ones that works correctly.

3. Increase amount of items allowed in the Palette.

4. Perhaps have an option for autosave to prevent loss of work.  This is due to certain records once placed on either grid or terrain, or simply being clicked in the records pane causing the Editor to crash.   So while fixing the crash issues is the main thing here, adding an autosave after a set duration might be an easier option.

5. Include a directory under Creatures called 'Hero Monsters'.  Here should be the full roster of hero monsters for both vanilla TQ and another in the xpac section respectively.  Aside from ease of use, I have highlighted this since only a small portion of the hero monsters are shown in the Editor (i.e; under the Mummy creature directory only Hanif the Cruel shows)

Quest Editor:

1. Overhaul this to make it more intuitive and user friendly.  I've only ever used this quest editor but from what I hear, compared to others this one is pretty archaic.  Granted it is from 2006 and is aged but it can be very confusing even with the TQModdingPDF tutorials.

soa

1. More than 24 skills in the mastery trees.
