Hello,

From the last days 2 days, it seens my Viewer.exe dont open anymore, it was working well with no problems.

I already checked the integrity game files , (un) installed the game, updated drives, turn off the antivirus, but it seens nothing is affecting the viewer.

The paths in Artmanager are  set on right path. While the editor and pse editor are working fine.


Also theres no error or whatsoever , it  try to load but nothing shows up.


Does anyone know whats the cause and how to resolve it ?

Hello!

In this guide, i will try to explain how to make a mesh with a ghostly theme , i hope it can help you!

Attention - Maybe there is another way to do it, this is how i did to make it work on my side, if you know another way feel free to share it.

What is a ghostly mesh ? the best exemple are the wraith monsters models, ( wraith are those ghostly undead found near Megara ) , there is Lost Souls monsters as well ,from Hades act, but they dont look very good for this work, and the wraiths colours are better to play and easy to understand.


In this exemple , lets try to make a Ghostly ShadowStalker.

1) Using MeshView open Wraith.msh


2)Using MeshView open ShadowStalker.msh


Note: In Order to have meshes from those monsters use Arc.explorer - select steam/titanQuest/resouces/creatures

3)Now we want to the shadowstalker have same theme look as the wraith so, copy the shader parameter from wraith msh and place on shadowstalker ( with same numbers and fields), like this



4)Lets make some cool texture and the glow for the shadowstalker , in this case i used Photoshop, you can use any editor program as gimp/paint net so on.
 ( for exemple)


Note:To have creatures texture, use same way to get the msh , Arc.explorer-TQ-resources-creatures

5)After we are done with the texture for Shadowstalker , lets open the wraith texture

Now the factor that makes the semi-transperent aspect, is the ALPHA

Check the ALPHA of the ShadowStalker and the ALPHA from the Wraith. while one is blank the other have somekind of light grey colour



6)Copy the background colour of the wraith  ALPHA and place on shadowstalker ALPHA
(Note: only do that step for the TEXTURE and not for the GLOW)


7)After that process, save the texture and the glow, open on your modifed Shadowstalker msh, place both of textures in their right fields, and if everything was done well, you should have something like this



I know this can sounds litle hard  to understand, but its more easy than it looks. If you have any question/problem plesea let me know , i will try to help you out.

Cheers

Hello!

With Atlantis xpac, we can change the Main menu screen with the ones from previous Titles ( Titan quest - Vanilla, Immortal throne and Ragnarok);

Wich one you like the most ? And why :-)?


I like the Immortal throne one, i think its because all the time i played from CD version, the dark Theme, the souls... it feeled more dynamic you see,  plus the music was neat

Im having problems with putting made glows in meshes, im wondering maybe im doing the process wrong ? It looks like half works and other half doest work and appear ingame as blur white texture.


This is how i do it.

Made a glow texture and save in targa.
Save in Artmanger the targa file ( build )

Open MeshViewer tool
Open mesh creature that i want to change ( for exemple orthrus)
Check Shader option, go to glow option and  change the path, using the .tex file ( on my game is glow/glow/newcolour.tex)

Save mesh, after i use encryptor tool to merge new meshes into the ones i have. Replace the glow.arc in my mod resources folder

Open creature dbr- Actor variables - insert new msh- select new texture-hit build

I open the arc explorer to see if my glow is working.

As in title, its is possible to create more race names ? like beasts/demons and so on ? I know the names are in game text Strings

It was a nice suprise seeing this lovely game gets a another offcial expansion, this time the Hero journeys into the mystical city of Atlantis.

This is just my personal opinion about new dlc, sometimes can be wrong

Story: Its short and simple to understand, but i enjoyed. 8/10

Quests: There are about 10 minor quests, if im not wrong, their objectives is get the X Item or Kill X monster, nothing bad agaisnt it, BUT the main issue i have is how easly you can miss the quests, since the npcs dont have any exclamation mark sign, so its about hit or miss. The quests rewards is exp and gold , one of then rewards you with a complete relic. 50/50

Monsters: This time i can say TQ Nordic/pieces nailed with the new monster design, they have more polish than the ones from Ragnarok, we got mosquitos/lions/Aquatic monsters, every single one is different and well made. 7/10

There are 2x our 3x monsters that could needed bit more working , for exemple the octopus, found only in Atlantis , have same texture and abilities of Epiales, just have different name.

Environments: Every single places you visit are well shapped , i loved the Journey into Atlas Mountain, its gorgeous.  Easy 10/10 for me

Itens : I didnt played much the new act, just one single gameplay, so i cant say much about it, but i can say there are few interesting MIS, for exemple The coralman Mi gives +1/2 to defense and dream mastery. but sadly their stats are poorly added. 6/10

Music: For me the music from Atlantis didnt had great impact like Ragnarok, I wish they added epic sad chorus ambient music around ATlantis city for exemple . 4/10

Bosses: there are few of then but every single one is interesting, have unique skills and animations, i like their fights. 8/10


The bad thing i can say about this new DLC is technical issues, from crashes and terrain conflicts,( im sure it will be fixed soon ). Aside from that. Its a solid adventure

Im going crazy over here

Heres what iam trying to do

-I want give a orthrus a ice breath attcks, since hes got animation and a fire wava attcks, i tought it should be easy.

What I did


1) Open Yeti_ice breath skill anm with note+++, went to the bottom and copy

CreateEntity
{
   frame = 20
   entity = "Records/Effects/Boss Effects/343_Yeti_Icebreath_FX.dbr"


2)Open a orthrus fire breath anm, and replaced the fire attack with the one of the yeti. It look like this



Open the game, the monster cast the breath but does this





I even created from a orthus_firebreath.fx, changed the flame effect with the yeti and open the orthrus_flamebreath.dbr replaced the effect with the one i made.

Still doesnt work and act like in the picture.



Can anyone help me ?

I dont sure if this right place to post this, but im lost.

Heres my question, i want to give a boar  a rush type skill, but hes dont casting anyhting. What i did right now

Changed controls to - records\controllers\monster\controller_beastaggressive01.dbr

Skill tree- records\skills\monster skills\monster_charge.dbr

Skill configuration- records\skills\monster skills\monster_charge.dbr , 100% chance, long range

He have 1000 mana and 1 sec spell cast animation
