[MOD] Eternal Recurrence 1.3

[matuto]

Thanks, Andak. No message at all nor event hang on in the events manager. The game only freezes and I have to reboot. I will download the new version and try again. Who knows ? If not, I will try a way to find out what happens and report.

[matuto]

Andak, I installed v.1.2 and in principle no freezing. Stunning the starting place with water and new torches and walls. Impressive. I was ready to complain about the failures on the walls until I saw the first big square secret button. But in front of the first red power gem, when I opened the panel to pick a rock to throw over the water to reach the plate, guess ? Well, I rebooted and went to administrative tools. No error in applications but a very strange error in system at the same moment freezing happened. Something with sr.sys which is related to system restoration and is located at windows, system 32, drivers in XP sp3. I will try again in low resolution with no sound. But as I said I patched the G2.exe and use the Windows XP switch to release 3 GB Ram more. Doing so I guess LG2 and mods can find 7 GB to run. No log error in LG2. New feedback soon.

[matuto]

Well, this time the mod started at the Haunted Forest. Too laggy even in low resolution and no sound. I bet that the torches are responsible. Try to put other kind of light but static, with no movement or smoke. Many moving beings or things in the area causes lagging. Everything was going well until I tried to cast shock, for the third or fourth time, on the Hydra (?). The game crashed to desktop. But I got a log to be sent to MicroSoft, involving grimrock2.exe.hdmp and mdmp. Here is the mess:

Kernel has been mentioned and relates to memory.
A log inside LG2 has also been given. I guess you are able to better understand and give some guidance.
This is the other mess:

There is enough for now. I hope you identify the problem because I am really anxious to play.
All the best from Rio.

[AndakRainor]

Oh yeah I have seen it once already! This happens to characters with dual classes. Did you use a mod to prepare your team and used dual classes? If so, I would suggest to remove the dual class, the mod can't handle it and the engine itself does not support it cleanly. (the experience system of the mod triggers an infinite loop between the 2 classes).

[matuto]

Andak, never mind. Later last night I decided to use the defaullt team and voilá ! I was using an imported party, no dual classes. This is an issue that could deserve your attention. I use an ancient team and the
heros are almost relatives. I import it when possible. Lagging problem still anoying. This time the mod started in the dungeon with the big toad boss. So many torches. Low resolution and lagging. I suggest static sources of light. By the way, I didn't figure out how to pass over the magic stick plant to reach the goods in the alcove. Any clue ? Nice work.

[AndakRainor]

Could you send me your save game with those characters? Never saw that without dual class so it could be useful to inspect them and see what is going on...

[AndakRainor]

By the way, I didn't figure out how to pass over the magic stick plant to reach the goods in the alcove. Any clue ? Nice work.

Those need melee spell cast, depending on the element of the plant.

[matuto]

Hi Andak. I was using an imported mixed team and the leader was Ryder Dye from some mods made by Ninja. Unfortunately I deleted my save games since they didn't work. About the plant, how to find out its element and which are the melee spells ? Another issue: is there any storyline with an end or just a sucession of dungeons and forests at random ? I think and end is important even when playing again from the start with different scenarios. Otherwise sooner or later it will become tedious.

[AndakRainor]

Hi! Endings and quests are coming in future updates!
Melee spells are the burst and cloud spells like fire burst or poison cloud, the plants can only be damaged by their opposite elements, so try them if the visual is not enough to guess

[matuto]

Thanks a lot. So we have to cast fire burst, poison cloud and shock at the plants. Is there any simple spell related to water? Well, I will hang on for a while and check from time to time about future updates with quests (very good idea) and endings. Until now very good work. With quests and endings the mod will be a
masterpiece, no doubt.
