[MOD] Enhanced Gameplay 2 (EE)

[nargil66]

Thank you for the kind words I dont play much these days, so people like you are one of my main motivations to keep going... i hope you will enjoy EE and this mod very soon

Latest progress - forget the last Naiad concept, it was too ordinary, and the leaf armor too close to vanilla. I removed the upper part of it and reshaped it in Blender so it doesn't clip with the body, also added a new hair that looks more unique. Here is the updated water lady:

Edit - i think she became a cutie

Quick and dirty Potamos as playing character (male counterpart of the Naiad, same illusion):

Now remains to add stats/tags to the illusion + perhaps a special skill with water theme.
I Greek mythology the Potamoi (plural form) are river gods, but they actually look more like tritons. Here is a greek vase showing Herakles fighting the river god Achelous:

few notes (bugs from base game)

-zombies(in this case revenants) that are using dual weapons cant use their buffs/skills duo of the fact their are missing their animations of dual weild parameter.

-the jackalman mage from the khufu quest use storm form on you, instead of himself ( i dont remenber on top of my head the details to fix it, but if you look at the greek bandit mages from ragnarok that cast stoneform, you can copy their process)

-what exacly is the skill from beastcaller prefix, from staffs-rings , the skill discription looks like the pet comand that players have at lv 1

Greatly appreciated, ill fix these bugs for the next update.

The skill on pet rings is the same as the default All Pet Attack, only activated on hit. My idea was to help petmancers - using a slot for a skill that just redirect pets is a pure waste IMHO. Now they wont have to, as the pets will often auto-attack the same target as the player.

Today's progress - Naiad/Potamos illusion is almost ready:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Remains to fix the bugs mentioned by Sauruz and give Peagea (quest Naiad nymph) the look she always deserved

Edit - i got a bit carried away with Pegaea colors/texture... especially the face. But i think the result was worth it:

Just ignore the fact Meshview shows part of the hair transparent, here is how it looks in game:

What a difference a few years can make... when i think that i started from this old grandma "nymph" :

Spoiler for Hiden:

New update shouldnt take too long to upload.

Suggestion : what do you think change the colour of the charms and relics ? Since bone piles - chests and cooper have now the same  colour on their identification , relics and charms could be more visualy more unique on their title colour , i think.

Edit 1:Zombies from Act4 (the mages) are named as zombies and not revenants , its intended ?

Edit 2 : I belive it have wrong text colours

Edit 2 : I belive it have wrong text colours

- I think to just leave them orange, because i dont want the text to become too colorful. If there are too many (or too intense) colors on the screen it might break immersion, which was my original goal. That's why i removed the yellow almost everywhere - it was poking my eyes
- In the start of Hades? No, it's not intentional, thanks for finding it.
- Fixed Bow of Eros

Have you ever considered working as professional tester? You really have talent for that

Haha, im pretty sure the bugs come to me than the other way around  !

Another thing, the itchians quest monsters, in Orient, from Seed of destruction and Lession of Despair are named as "Coastal Itchians" , its bit off line , dont you think?

Hi all, just downloaded the Nightly Version -EG2. Does this work with Ragnarok and Atlantis? Or is the new expansion also required?

Yes, it works with and requires all expansions.

Yeah... Tropical Ichthian maybe? Or Swamp... have you seen the tag Coastal elsewhere than Orient?

I'm preparing a new horseman illusion for next update. Ever since Total War: Troy came out i wanted to remake my old amazons, and today i started doing it. Here is the result so far:

The texture patterns are taken directly from TW:T, the helmet is a modified/retextured TQ helmet. You can see the inspiration for the helmet on last picture (TW Amazons use it too)

Edit - Source files for early amazons (just so they doesnt get lost):

Sorry for the confusion: So this means, if the final expansion is missing, the mod won't work?

I think they use same tag as the greek coastal itchian around  megara beach.


Edit: Im wondering , i used the code newskins right after i enter helos, after a while i went to type the code again, and its not possibe, since from what i understand the code just works one time per character, if i want to change the skin ,i need to create another character and put the gods parchements in transfer caravan? or they are sold elsewhere ?

Yes, it requires Eternal Embers, otherwise some game elements won't display properly.

It's just the code at the moment, but now that i think of it, maybe it's better if i include them in some other way as well. Only it has to be convincing... hmm, how about changing the first tutorial character (near the boat) to something more special? Like a vendor for all mod related items? And that vendor must be good enough in the mystical arts to sell godly overpowered items. Wait, i know who should that be... the BUMBLEVENDOR! Seriously, i miss Bumbleguppy since he left the forum, why not make an NPC to honor all he has done for this game? The D'oh-ist Sage lol... its settled then.
Expect The Great Dóh-ist Master to be a guest of my mod for the next version Code problem will be solved.

Sounds great!

Im pretty sure BG still lurkes around here 


Edit2: Ragnarok Harpys ( the ones that appear in Corinth) arent tagged as beastman as the ones in Act1

[nargil66]

Sure, ill check the harpies. And yeah, i hope BG still visit us sometimes...

I have some great news btw - i asked Ninakoru if i can implement his awesome Itemization Quest mod in EG and he agreed Check his changelog notes here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2359770187
That's really A LOT of bug fixes... add Endymion's AFBF mod to the mix and you get a very solid base for any project.
I'll try to merge/implement both mods for the next version of EG, but i can't promise anything - it may take more time than that. Will see how it goes.
