Hey @nargil66, just touching in after testing this build for a couple of weeks now.

Ever since using the 4GB patch it has run like a dream. Can't believe I didn't know about that one.

So far, I have taken a Conqueror to through act 3 and completed Atlantis and about to start IT. Only some minor things that have popped up (T posing enemies in act 3 for example) but otherwise it's been great to play this mod again.

The new boss in the Atlantis Bath House (added by BG I think) was a bit of a grind to get through and Conqueror really struggles against enemies with high lightning damage output (have had my team completely wiped a few times) but overall really enjoying the changes.

Can't wait to see what's in store in the future!

Hey Nargil,

I've been playing a Nature + Defense build and having a great time overall, but there are a few things to raise after testing the latest build over the last couple of days.

1: Crashes - I am crashing to desktop regularly with the mod in it's current state, but can't identify a common link in the crashes. Sometimes it's when I am opening a chest or transitioning areas, but mostly when I am just walking around. I'm not getting any bug reports or feedback as to why the game crashed either, so unless there is a log somewhere that might shed some light on it, all I can really do is raise the issue as is. I'd say I'm up to about 20 crashes so far and have just made it to the outskirts of Athens. This has been the main issue so far, the next few are largely cosmetic / minor.

2: Flute sound on the Overgrowth Skill - The flute sound for the Overgrowth skill is quick loud compared to other game sounds. It was also very puzzling as to what it was when I first heard it, trying to find out where it was coming from. I like the idea of it, but it's quite distracting in its current form.

3: Place name missing for Parnassus Caves - When entering the caves, I could see the little symbols that are at the start and end of a place name when it appears in the middle of the screen, but the words for Parnassus cave was missing.

4: Character is now grey upon loading - I used one of the god cosmetics on my character but it didn't seem to work. Now each time when I load into the game, my character is grey until I apply a new dye to them.

5: Fishing and Mining skills are unclear - I wasn't sure how to interact with the fishing spots until I hit Megara and found the vendor. I still don't know how to interact with the mining spots.

6: Fishing and Mining markers - With the abundance of fishing and mining markers that have been added, there are a couple of areas where they are quite distracting and can make finding quest markers a little more difficult. Would it be possible to change them or are they needed at all?

Overall, I am really enjoying this mod and the direction you have taken with it though, so keep it up

Glad to see this mod continuing. It has always been my favourite, all the way back since the Summoners Delight days. Keen to see where you take it take it Nargil and can't wait to test it.

Thank you for your many years developing the mod BG, I probably wouldn't have played TQ anywhere near as much as I have without your mods

Hmm, tried that Quest again and it was fine this time around. Hopefully just a once off hiccup locally. I'll try to replicate it on all future characters though.

Jinghe valley gate issue its even from IT times, its something about the game itself, sometimes it opens sometimes it wont.

Ahh, fair enough then. I don't think I have ever come across this bug previously. Suppose my luck had to run out eventually 

Update:

Just remembered a bug:
The Level 21+ Skeleton Marksmen use an invisible bow. The animation works fine then they fire an arrow, just no bow.

Couple of things found tonight:

Firstly, the Treant that you summon as a part of the Soothsayer specific torso armour just holds the 'T' pose and doesn't actually do anything.



Secondly, there is something funky happening with the mini-map in the Jingyang woods. Looks like the map isnt rendering the shadows from the trees in that area, but in a rectangular shape for some reason:

About the minion lab, the reason the map is all dark was made by Nordic devs on AE version, they wanted turn into a real labyrinth, not a good move by then, since you can miss some rooms with monsters,  and less exp for you.

Ah bugger. Didn't go that far back in this thread to see that 

Ah, I see...if you place points in one skill, the other line of skills becomes disabled. Yeah, that's a cool idea, I've considered it in the past.

Can't be done. Not a challenge, literally can't be done in this system.

Figured that might be the case. Oh well. Ill continue on tonight, but for now, it's off to work
