An unofficial Update Pack for Gothic 3 Enhanced Edition v1.75 (a.k.a. Update
Pack) is an attempt to fix various errors remaining after the release of the last
official patch v1.75 for Gothic 3, as well as to make some improvements for the
players and innovations for modders. For example, the Update Pack added the
ability to block the attacks of various animals, expanded quick loot feature,
improved alternative camera, hero and NPCs can say more SVM phrases, etc. For
those who don't like the armor textures and materials from the "Forsaken Gods"
add-on added by Community Patch Team in v1.75, it is possible to bring back the
original armor textures and materials. For the Russian version game owners there
is also a Russian speech update available, as well as a possibility to replace
the Gothic3.ttf font unoptimized for Windows x64 to the default Comic Sans MS.
A complete list of changes made by this Update Pack described in detail in the
Gothic_3_v1.75_Update_Pack_v1.04_Changelog_En.txt file.

Installation Notes:

Update Pack should be installed after installing the official patch for Gothic 3
v1.75.14 and before the installation of any modifications. To activate all the
changes you need to start a new game.

Compatibility:

Update Pack is fully compatible with the majority of known modifications such as
Questpaket, Content Mod, Consequences, LCTM and others.
Note: Some fixes, especially in stringtable and info-files, may not be available in
modifications because they are overwritten by the modification. Therefore, it is
recommended to install the "UpdatePack_SupportMod" (which you may find in the
installed Update Pack folder) using Mod Starter, having installed the other
modifications before.This Update Pack was created by Dimus, zandr, Guzz aka killer-m & Mechanic.

Allgemeine Information:Wichtige Meldung:

- Das ist ein unoffizielles Update Paсk, und Sie installieren es auf eigene
Gefahr! Wir sind nicht verantwortlich für mögliche Probleme nach der
Installation.

- Update Pack erfordert Gothic 3 Version 1.75.14.

- Die vorigen Versionen des Update Packs müssen deinstalliert sein.

Beschreibung:

Das inoffizielle Update Pack für Gothic 3 Enhanced Edition v1.75 (kurz Update
Pack) ist die Bemühung verbliebene Fehler im offiziellen Gothic3 Patch 1.75 zu
beseitigen. Ebenso wurden Verbesserungen des Spielerlebnisses für Spieler und
Neuerungen für Modder eingebracht. Zum Beispiel können Angriffe von Tieren
geblockt werden, quick loot wurde erweitert, eine verbesserte alternative Kamera
eingeführt, Held und NPC sagen mehr SVM Phrasen, und vieles mehr. Wer die vom
Community Patch Team in v1.75 ergänzten Rüstungstexturen vom Add-On
Götterdämmerung nicht mag, kann optional die originalen Texturen herstellen
lassen.

Installationshinweise:

Das Update Pack sollte direkt nach dem offiziellen Patch für Gothic 3 v1.75.14
und vor der Installation von Modifikationen installiert werden. Es muss ein neues
Spiel gestartet werden, damit alle Neuerungen und Fehlerbeseitigungen wirken.

Kompatibilität:

Das Update Pack ist kompatibel zu den meisten bekannten Modifikationen wie
Questpaket, Content Mod, Consequences, LCTM und anderen.
Hinweis: Einige Verbesserungen stehen in Modifikationen möglicherweise nicht
zur Verfügung, weil diese durch die Modifikation überschrieben werden,
insbesondere Verbesserungen an info-Dateien und stringtable. Deswegen soll man
mit Modstarter die UpdatePack_SupportMod über die installierten Modifikationen
installieren, welche im Ordner des installierten Update Packs vorhanden ist.Dieses Update Pack wurde von Dimus, zandr, Guzz aka killer-m & Mechanic erstellt.

Is there an non-self extracting archive available? When I choose the directory, I can't confirm. The same happens with the QP Update but I managed to get the files.

[Beppo]

The log seems nice! It will take some time till I play G3 the next time, but what I read seems to be a great improvement! :gratz

Is there an non-self extracting archive available? When I choose the directory, I can't confirm. The same happens with the QP Update but I managed to get the files.

Edit:
Deleted download link for Gothic3.exe

[MadFaTal]

I uploaded the CP 1.75.14 binaries for you, i hope this solves you problem.


Thanks, George!

Actually, Gothic3.exe file is enough.
Please guys, dont share the original game executables!
The official Patch 1.75.14 (http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_478.htm) can be donloaded at our site.
Yes it's huge, but so is life.

[MadFaTal]

I have 1.75.12 with updated the pak to have the latest 1.75.14 features. Do I really have download 1.5GB to updated the number from 12 to 14?
Sorry, yes you have to install the latest patch 1.75.14 (http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_478.htm)even it's huge.

[contra]

Well, ok.

Btw, how did you implement these changes? Are there some more things possible? I'm thinking of the render distance for trees, which are not within DistanceHigh.fFarClippingPlane radius? With the changed shader calculation, you can have good view from ardea to nordmar, but the trees are missing.

[zandr]

Btw, how did you implement these changes?
Using Debugger, if you mean dll-editing.

Are there some more things possible?
Yes, and I hope to make some more things in future, both in patch- and mod- styles. Now I am trying to modify G3 combat system.

I'm thinking of the render distance for trees, which are not within DistanceHigh.fFarClippingPlane radius? With the changed shader calculation, you can have good view from ardea to nordmar, but the trees are missing.
Sadly, I am really weak hacker comparing to the authors of G1/2 SystemPack, so graphical engine editing may be too difficult for me.

[der dicke Rune]

Hi !
Can i run your update pack along with the LCTM v1.2.5 Mod i've istalled?

[zandr]

Hi !
Can i run your update pack along with the LCTM v1.2.5 Mod i've istalled?
All the mods are compatible with the Update Pack.

[der dicke Rune]

All the mods are compatible with the Update Pack.

Thanks zandr for the info, i just installed it, read the read-me file.
Am i allowed to correct the geraman translation?

[zandr]

Am i allowed to correct the geraman translation?
Yes, of course! If German Community will make corrections, we may include it in the next version of Update Pack. I belive Dimus (http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/members/111254-Dimus) will not mind, please contact him in that case.
P.s.: I think you know, that after installation of any mod except mods for Mod Starter you will lose all string corrections. So I only hope authors of the mods will update their strings-packs in future versions.

[Squerol]

Yes, and I hope to make some more things in future, both in patch- and mod- styles. Now I am trying to modify G3 combat system.


Nice that you guys still trying to shape Gothic 3, and more and more possibilities You are showing off... Haha Zandr what do you trying to make with combat system, I'm just courious ;D That combat system is piece of shit totally, there is no single good element in it, so there are many thing to do with it, but that technically barriers, hard to breach...

[zandr]

... Haha Zandr what do you trying to make with combat system, I'm just courious ;D That combat system is piece of shit totally, there is no single good element in it, so there are many thing to do with it, but that technically barriers, hard to breach...

I have just released G3_CombatSystemMod_v0.1 (http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1348466-G3-%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BA-%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%83%D1%87%D1%88%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8C-%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BA%D1%83?p=22840682&viewfull=1#post22840682) This is the very first attempt. Sorry, description is only in Russian for now.

[Squerol]

Wow, Im very impressed! Congratulations for finally successfull attempt to editing game mechanics :) I played some minutes on hard with AB and SI, all that things, and.... It plays fights great! Biggest thing, and the best is that You finally removed that freakin stunlock animatons hehe Thanks man, and good luck with crackin that creepy system of gothic 3 hehe And how about somehow removing that NPC/Monsters "freeze" while accessing to inventory and other like that menus? To delete freeze, or make inventory like in Risen 1, where you can move with it opened, or adding "script(???)" unable while fighting (you know, when tryin to sleep in battle or interact with something else)? Because that system sucks deeply....

Is the Gothic 3 modding/patching scene dead? This looks way too interesting to have just 20 posts :confused:

"Drop-torch-feature" is known from Risen 1, I like it very much. Another feature is disabled back turn while opening menu windows (it works with Alternative Camera only). Sorry, the full changelog have not been translated in English yet. May be I'll create one more demo video soon. But everybody is welcome to help us as tester and may play the current test version of Update Pack.

Для начала поздравляю с выходом мода. Немного поиграл и мне, на самом деле, нравятся изменения, как мелкие, так и крупные, касающиеся боя в "Готике 3", которая теперь более или менее терпима. Что-то известно о новых изменениях?
Желаю удачной дальнейшей работы.
Поздравления из Польши.

Innovations description for modders:
50. Implemented possibility to create "universal" info-scripts, which are active everywhere in the world without contact with NPCs.

You can create the info files that when the specified conditions are fulfilled will be activated
regardless of the hero's location. In a contrast to the "ghost objects" (see para. 1.7.1 Manual
Addendum for Modders), the range of a such script is not limited.
To do this, the script should contain the following lines:

Owner=World_MCP
InfoType=1

51. Implemented possibility to assign quests certain special properties.

You can set new properties of the quests by setting the values of 101 to 104 in any of the
following lines:

PoliticalSuccess=
PoliticalSuccessAmount=
PoliticalFailure=
PoliticalFailureAmount=

101 - Quest can be succeeded only if it was pre-launched [gEQuestStatus = 1 - Running].

102 - Hidden quest. This quest does not appear in a quest log, and will not be any reports about
the quest starting, completion, cancellation, failure and the time allowed for its completion.

103 - Achievement. Report on the implementation of this quest will begin with a GO_Achievement
("New achievement") instead of GO_QuestSuccess ("Quest success").

104 - The quest will be canceled in a case of failure.

You can specify the multiple quest properties simultaneously, for example:

PoliticalFailure=101
PoliticalFailureAmount=103

52. Increased number of commands available to use in info-files:
- restored and fixed the "SetEnclave" command;
- implemented new commands "SetType" and "OpenQuest".

You can assign an NPC belonging to the certain enclave and change its "Type" parameter, for example:

InfoScript_Commands=SetEnclave;SetType
InfoScript_Entities1=npc;Hamlar
InfoScript_Entities2=Reddock;
InfoScript_IDs1=;3

Possible values of "Type" parameter:

0 - Personal
1 - Enclave
2 - Political
3 - Friend

- OpenQuest command allows you to "reset" the quest status even if it has been already completed,
canceled or failed. This will not show any message. For example, you can do the following chain of
commands:

InfoScript_Commands=RunQuest;FailQuest;OpenQuest;SucceedQuest
InfoScript_Entities1=;;;
InfoScript_Entities2=;;;
InfoScript_IDs1=Abbas_Artefakt;Abbas_Artefakt;Abbas_Artefakt;Abbas_Artefakt

53. Implemented possibility to set the hero's characteristics as condition for the info-file.

Using the CondReputGroup, CondReputAmount and CondReputRelation parameters (see para. 1.2.5 Manual
Addendum for Modders), now you can also check the level of the following hero's characteristics:

LVL
STR
DEX
INT
SMT
THF
ALC
HP
SP
MP
PROT_BLADE
PROT_IMPACT
PROT_MISSILE
PROT_FIRE
PROT_ICE
PROT_LIGHTNING

For example, this script will be available to the hero with a 5th level and 120 strength at least:

CondReputGroup=LVL;LVL;STR
CondReputAmount=5;5;120
CondReputRelation=MIN;MAX;MIN

54. The number of colors available for messages has been increased from 5 to 19.

The set of available colors for the ShowGameMessage command (see para. 1.2.15 Manual Addenum for
modders):
0 - yellow (original);
1 - light yellow;
2 - White (original);
3 - light white;
4 - light green;
5 - green (original);
6 - dark green;
7 - dark blue;
8 - blue;
9 - light blue;
10 - purple;
11 - light orange;
12 - orange (original);
13 - red (original);
14 - dark red;
15 - dark brown;
16 - light brown;
17 - light gray;
18 - dark gray.

55. Unused earlier "SD_Mocking" and "SD_Thankful" gesture commands are now available to use for the
new dialog gestures.

You can use the new dialogue animations (see para. 1.2.23 Manual Addendum for Modders), for example:

InfoScript_Commands=Say;SaySVM
InfoScript_Entities1=player;npc
InfoScript_Entities2=;
InfoScript_IDs1=;Sure
InfoScript_IDs2=SD_Mocking;SD_Thankful
InfoScript_Texts=INFO_BPANKRATZ31;

Added by us to _compiledAnimation.p00 package an exemplary animations can be replaced by suitable
to you.

56. Modified formula how quest experience is calculated that allows to edit it by changing only one
byte.

You can change the amount of experience obtained for quests completion and during the dialogues,
ranging from 0% to 255% by editing a single byte in the Script_Game.dll file at the address 4E37D.
The initial value of the byte is 64 hex (100 dec).
This Update Pack was created by Dimus, zandr & Guzz aka killer-m.

Yes, you may play with these mods. New Update Pack should be compatible with any known mod except of my CombatSystem Mod 0.1.


... jedynie mam problem z zadaniem dotyczącym "łopaty Bena" gdyż nie mogę jej podnieść. :)

... ich habe nur ein Problem mit der Aufgabe auf "Schaufel Ben", weil ich nicht abholen. :)

That's our bug, we are very sorry. So I think we'll release fixed version soon but it will take some time at least because we need to be sure that players will not find any other bugs.

You may use this temporary solution:

1. Type "marvin" very quickly - it should activate the test mode.
2. Press "`" to open cheat-console, type "give It_Bens_Shovel", press "Enter" and "`" to close the console.
3. Type "marvin" very quickly again to deactivate the test mode.

[Marcello]

Sorry, this is my video from G3a and R1. May be evade-animations will be transfered to G3 in Update Pack or CombatSystem Mod projects later.

Some news about Update Pack. I have free time in next days to fix some bugs that was found in v1.02. So I hope that fixed v1.03 will be published soon. If somebody have additional remarks or any feedback please, report me as soon as possible. Thanks!

[miky miles]

Nice!
Good to know there's coming an update although I haven't really found bugs.
But nice that you will fix it. :)

The only thing I was found is that I can't drop the torch with quickloot is off.
Abort casting spells works by pressing the right mouse button.
But it's not a problem for me. :D
I like that spells damage paramter now visible in spell book and
the orange color of unused bookshelves etc. :D

Simple it's great work. :D

Ok, thanks. That sounds great. :D

[szmotsu]

Is this compatibile with other mods as QP4 CM2.6? And how about compatibility with other language versions for example Polish?

[zandr]

Is this compatibile with other mods as QP4 CM2.6?
Yes.


And how about compatibility with other language versions for example Polish?
It is international Update Pack. So it is fully compatible ingame but installer is only in English, German and Russian.

[szmotsu]

Thank You for fast answer :) I really appreciate work, You have done :D Its great to play bug-free gothic 3 with addicional content

Thank you. We are working on v1.03. Our testers made big job, so we may be almost sure that current test version is stable and without bugs. Also George helps me to implement an interesting new feature, thank to him. But there are still many things I want to do before release. Unfortunately these days I have really not much free time, I still hope for release during this month but can't promise anything.

It sounds great! When can we expect release version?

[zandr]

It sounds great! When can we expect release version?
I hope in this month. New features and bugfixes are ready, but we need to check all of them once again and make documentation on three languages. Usually it takes few weeks. But we always may face with unexpected additional problems of different difficulty. So I can't promise anything.

[PnCIa]

Thank you for your hard work :)
I appreciate it a lot that you are actually touching some of the core issues of this broken game by making animal attacks blockable!
A question...do you plan to modify the close combat system even further by changing animations or shortening their duration?

[zandr]

A question...do you plan to modify the close combat system even further by changing animations or shortening their duration?
Not in Update Pack project. Of cause we are planning to fix some bugs, but for rebuilding the whole Gothic 3 combat system I have another project - G3 CombatSystem Mod (http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1348466-G3-%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BA-%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%83%D1%87%D1%88%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8C-%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BA%D1%83).

Зарегился, чтоб сказать:
zandr, спасибо вам огромное за ваш труд!
уверен, многие почти старпёры, вроде меня, играющие до сих пор во всякое старьё типа третьих героев или готики вместо современных игр, только потому, что дико впечатлились ими ещё тогда, и до сих пор на крючке, сидят здесь, следят за новостями и как дети радуются новым патчам :D

пс: отдельное спасибо за квиклут - это просто революция! благодаря такой простой фиче можно полностью сконцентрироваться на приключениях, пейзажах и мясорубке $§p4

на последних двух видео готика выглядит каким-то сказочным миром, и хотя я играл на оч. высоких настройках, у меня всё как-то проще было (с патчем 1,75 и контентМодом последним). Это какие-то кастомные текстуры? Хотя может я просто траву отключал, чтбо не мешала видеть спец.растения издалека, и из-за этого всё так выглядело :D
вас не затруднит приложить к этим видео ini-файлы настроек игры?

How goes work on the project?
Almost everything is ready for v1.03 release except of English and German documentation.

[Keksinator73]

Almost everything is ready for v1.03 release except of English and German documentation.

1. Do you have a release date for this update yet? Because my fingers are tingling to try it out.
2. Is it necessary to start a new game with the upcoming update?

[zandr]

1. Do you have a release date for this update yet? Because my fingers are tingling to try it out.
I still don't know the release date but hope for this or the next week. You may try current test version without waiting.

2. Is it necessary to start a new game with the upcoming update?
I think starting a new game is not necessary.

[Keksinator73]

Thats very good news, I'm really looking forward to this and I would be glad to test your early version :gratz

[PnCIa]

Zandr, a question, is it possible to implement movement while drinking a potion? Like in Risen? :)

[zandr]

Zandr, a question, is it possible to implement movement while drinking a potion? Like in Risen? :)
This is one of the most wished features. Is it possible - I don't know. It depends on animation system. I am planning to try it during the working on 1.04 version.

I installed the Update Pack (download from WoG) and just after the installation McAfee found W32/Patcher (http://www.mcafee.com/threat-intelligence/malware/default.aspx?id=153528) in Script.dll. Is this a real threat or a false alert? Does the Update Pack contain a virus?

The file is in quarantine for now.

So it's false alarm. Good to know. :)

If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have installed it in the first place. The alleged risk is minimal anyway.

No, but:
Installation Notes:

Update Pack should be installed after installing the official patch for Gothic 3 v1.75.14 and before the installation of any modifications.

[zandr]

Fixed Update Pack v.1.03.14 will be published very soon. Bugs of previous version fixed:

- Game crash in case of summoned creatures death when the hero went far from them.
- Blocking has always been successful.
- The hero interacted with the objects in focus when double-clicking the consuming item in inventory.
- If Questpaket installed incorrect qualities icons applied to armor icons in trade and loot menu.
- Displaying of resulting items amount in recipes have not worked.
- Skill learned by reading a book ("Make sharp arrows") incorrectly displayed in red color in recipes.
- Previously displayed colored skill name in recipe caused color skill name in character menu.

Please let me know if we need to improve something else. Thanks!

[Higor]

About the tossed joints:
- They accumulate over time, and still have physics being processed on them (never stops apparently).
- They are loaded on save games.

They should ideally be purged to not waste resources and save times, also I started a new game after the UP update and I noticed some towns become unplayable after staying on them for a few days, going out of ROI range and coming back doesn't solve it, saving and loading doesn't solve it either.
The problem started with this new version.

Greetings from a fellow modder (totally Gothic unrelated, sadly).

[zandr]

About the tossed joints:

Thank you! I knew about it but I fully realized this problem just few days ago when looking a youtube-walkthrough (physics processing joint (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-UBn6sdLY8&t=07m37s), too many joints (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5B1vBe6eU4&t=19m59s)).


...also I started a new game after the UP update and I noticed some towns become unplayable after staying on them for a few days...

Please, explain what do you mean: "towns become unplayable".

[Higor]

Well, the more time I stay in some towns, the worse the stuttering gets. It's like it's something that builds up over the game days and I don't think it's AI related (I had many NPC's killed by rebels/rangers to reduce town population lol)

Points where it happens the most:
- Montera: near inner gate.
- Silden: anywhere near the slave camp.
- Mora Sul: inner ring.
- Hammer clan: anywhere near the smiths's houses.
Haven't gotten into Ishtar yet and some other locations like Trelis don't lag at all, even though the hero has hanged around there for over a game week.
I suspect the joints thing has something to do with it because the orcs at Trelis don't smoke those (and they're majority).

I tried the profiler graphs from TestMode and they don't show a single thing bottlenecking.
I tried all detail settings on minimum, stuttering didn't change at all.

EDIT:
My ROI range is 5700.
The easiest method to see if it's true is to stand near one of those spots and leave the game running for a couple of hours, it's not energy efficient but it's the closest to reproducing it.

[Trolleule]

Yeah it's nice to read, that this bug


- Game crash in case of summoned creatures death when the hero went far from them.

is already known. It might be the only reason for crashing since playing -.-

I noticed, that it is still possible to block attacks from mine crawler,


- Blocking has always been successful.

but i think this will fix it.

EDIT: There is something, that i noticed really often: When i fight in caves, the creatures go through the wall, disappear or suddenly arised behind me. For example there is a cave near "Runak" (the Druide near Geldern) and inside this cave is a gargoyle. I summon a Demon and he was fighting against this gargoyle by pushing him near the wall since the garg disappeared for a moment :(


And another problem: In Kap Dun i hired Cyrus to follow me and while i was walking up to the arena he fall through the ground and died. I think this bug is rare and difficult to reproduce.


And the last one, which might be easy to solve: When i have a NPC and a summoned creature in my party, if one of him gets hit by each other in a fight, they are fighting against each other. :S


Do you think you can fix these bugs or is that too complicated?

@zandr Thanks for the work! How long we have to wait for this new update? :)

Ok, now dropped joints will be removed after reentering the processing area. Please check does it fix the problem.

- Blocking has always been successful.

There are no new bugfixes and features in v1.03.14, only fixes of v1.03.12-13 bugs. I hope to start working on new content for v1.04 soon. But I can't say what things will be finally prepared for any coming version. So that's all what we have for today.

[Higor]

Arena fights aren't as impossible now and I can enter Silden §danke (I have the nasty habit on never playing on anything other than max difficulty, even made my first playthrough Risen 3 in ultra)

Now for some silly ideas, animal stuff in Gothic 3 was always kinda useless since 1.12 I believe, sure the handicap NPC's have over animals helps making "follow X" quests possible to finish, but that also makes slaves able 1v1 trolls and other big monsters, and transformation spells only useful for getting past other animals/monsters undetected lol.

Maybe said handicap can be adjusted a bit like this (0%=1.0 G3, 100%=1.12 G3):
- NPC is on your party > 100%
- Animal is on your party (vs NPC) > 50%
- NPC gives quest/is merchant > 100%
- Animal vs NPC > 70%
- PC_Hero transformed > 50% ****

****
Maybe add 1 level to the animal for every 5 PC_Hero levels? (stronger hero = stronger animal)
Transfer health and mana regen abilities to animal if hero has them.
That would totally make the 'Druid' way of playing G3 possible without the 1.0's bugs lol

Didn't Gothic 1 NPC's get angry at you for bringing monsters at them?
That could be useful to balance the above ideas out.

Some interesting info:
I spawned a Snapper and changed it's political assignment to 'Slave', city and other political NPC's ignore them but NPC's without enclave/political alignment will attack them.

[zandr]

...Now for some silly ideas...
...That could be useful to balance the above ideas out...
Thank you for your ideas. We don't touch the balance in our work till today, but maybe it will be possible to change something in future.

[Higor]

Alright, now for and actually serious idea.

I main UT99 so I'm VERY used at this kind of games, and nothing has bothered me more in G3 than being unable to properly aim with a bow in first person mode due to artificially accelerated camera.
And last time I played the Risen games aiming with the weapons wasn't as horrible either.

So, is it possible to get rid of mouse filtering when trying to hit something with a bow (and crossbow since we're at it) in first person camera?

I also noticed (by perception, I don't have access to the actual code obviously) that the hero turns toward the camera's direction one frame late, which possibly indicates that the processing order in a frame is this: Hero update, Camera update.
If I'm wrong about this, then ignore this paragraph, otherwise making the hero rotate AFTER the camera is updated in first person mode will also mean a huge improvement to aiming, and i'm not even suggesting making the hero's turn rate instant (that would be bad, and should be kept as it is).

[George]

Have you tried to experiment with intertia and sensibility sliders in the mouse controls menu?

[Higor]

I did, smoothing on -99% and X=30%, Y=60% and still feels like first person camera has some 'weight' put into it, especially with Y axis on first person mode.
It kinda feels like the camera code is taking something else into account when rotating, and not simply the player's input.
Maybe it's just me nitpicking and the camera is actually supposed to follow certain rules.

(just for curiosity) Is G3 using DirectInput for mouse capture? I noticed it's not centering the mouse pointer in Windowed mode, so it's either DirectInput or some form of raw input.
Speaking of which, mouse capture in windowed mode is kinda funky.
You open the program, when it goes in front of the windows it takes an extra mouse click into the render area to capture otherwise the pointer is able to go outside of the window.
Same rules apply when alt-tabbing out of the game, mouse stays captured into the window area until you alt-tab a second time.
This basically tells me pointer capturing for windowed mode is one step behind, perhaps it's an OS compatibility issue? I ask because I'm running the game in Windows Server 2012 and funky stuff is expected to happen in these kind of OS's.

[zandr]

...So, is it possible to get rid of mouse filtering when trying to hit something with a bow (and crossbow since we're at it) in first person camera?...
I tried to use bows in the first person mode and it seems that all works fine in my computer. So I can't check this problem. The only problem I know is that wrong auto-aiming sometimes don't let shoot visual target:
http://upload.worldofplayers.de/files10/G3_AimBug.jpg

[Higor]

Well at least the aim thing isn't game breaking.

Some more ideas/bugs:
- Ranged NPC's could stop the firing animation if their target dies... or switch to another enemy while firing.
- NPC arrow or bolt shots could be adjusted to aim a little ahead... or simply make their projectiles a bit faster.
** The NPC doesn't have to aim ahead, simply correcting the projectile fire direction is enough. (that's what old Unreal bots do)
** A simple: [AimXYZ = ENEMY.XYZ + ENEMY.XYZVel * Distance / Proj.speed] would do just fine.
- Undead High Priests should play the proper healing animation when using the heal spell, with the proper cast time as well. These annoying zombies in robes heal themselves way too fast (maybe it's a QP issue?).
- When you tell Thorald to go to the meeting point, he goes to Hammer clan instead (maybe it's a QP issue?).
- I was following Graypelt to Xardas' tower and I tamed an Ice Wolf to easily stunlock the golems, as soon as I finished following Graypelt he started attacking the Ice Wolf.

[Wanderer5]

I dont know if this has mentioned before somewhere.
But, i got the steam version of Gothic 3 and i cant install the latest update.
I can install the one before, but if i choose the destination folder, the setup wont recognize it.
Is there a work around?

You should install Community Patch v1.75.14 (http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_478.htm) first.

I'll check these things when I'll have some time.

Just for the record: Could you also deactivate SVMs altogether?

[George]

Just for the record: Could you also deactivate SVMs altogether?
It should be possible, but why would you want to do this?

[|Lorn|]

I'd actually want this for Forsaken Gods:

They used different voice actors but didn't record new SVMs, so most of the npcs run around with two different voices (using random old ones).

Also, the CPT deactivated LipSync for SVMs (to prevent some random crashes afair) and now it just looks stupid.

If a deactivation was possible, it would of course be great if there could be on screen messages for some instead, e.g. when you unsheath your weapon in public (so the player knows that he shouldn't). I don't think a lot of others would be necessary.

I want to help you but can't find any reason to waste time on G3a. You may try this file (http://rghost.ru/7fZgCNGKp) (1 byte changed) - No SVMs but also no screen messages, sorry. Also you may try another way: Unpack all SVMs speech files, copy this two files (http://rghost.ru/7yvtXqsFD) to the folder, run bat-file, pack back new "deleted" files.

[|Lorn|]

I know what you mean. I've spent hours on modding/fixing this game.

Your modified Script_Game.dll works, as far as I can see. What does it do in detail?

Would it even be possible to add new screen messages?

[George]

I know what you mean. I've spent hours on modding/fixing this game.

Is there no other way to prevent npcs from saying SVM stuff?
What is the problem with this way?

[|Lorn|]

Edited my post. It's not a problem per se, but this way the hero doesn't say anything as well (which is ok because there are messages for stuff like "I need a lockpick" etc.).

The other thing: You get no warning when you draw your sword etc., because there are no subtitles for that :rolleyes: Therefore, game messages would be the perfect way to go (e.g. "You should not draw your weapon here").

[zandr]

Would it even be possible to add new screen messages?
Yes, it is possible, but should take much much than one minute. Also there are some problems may appear e.g. more than one NPC can say SVMs at the same time. I am sorry, but there are to much bugs left in original Gothic 3 to fix.

[|Lorn|]

If I knew how to do it, I'd do it myself. Thank you anyway. I understand :)

[George]

Like I promised, it is possible and I have something for you. Just copy the files to your G3 GD folder.

In addition you can configure, if only the weapon warning messages should be shown, or if every svm should be displayed as a message.
This can be done in Ini/nosvm.ini by setting Game.OnlyWeaponWarning to true or false.

[|Lorn|]

Well George, this is truly amazing! Thank you!

It works really well. Just one or two things I've noticed:

When "Game.OnlyWeaponWarning" is set to "false", SVMs like Smalltalk are not shown. Is that by design (so that only stuff directed at the player is on screen)?
And I was wondering if there was the possibility of showing SVMs as a dialog overlay (at the top of the screen, like used in Infos) instead of a message?
Also, Player SVMs are not played as well. Is there a chance of allowing them and only preventing those of NPCs?

Nevertheless, this is an amazing feat. I can't even imagine how you did this :gratz

I have to notice that George's modification seems like absolutely professional programming, while my works are dilettante's efforts to make something useful for the game using OllyDbg only.

[George]

I have to notice that George's modification seems like absolutely professional programming, while my works are dilettante's efforts to make something useful for the game using OllyDbg only.
I have to admit it's an unfair comparision. You can't compare working with an high level language like C++ and assembler/OllyDbg. The latter is more complicated and time consuming.

I wouldn't call your Update Pack the work of an amateur, it is amazing what you have done, while just using OllyDbg, how you managed to put all these changes together. I know what I'm talking about, because i started engine modding just like you, using only an OllyDbg. To be honest, you were my motiviation to start engine modding.

And it wasn't easy at the beginning, but in the end I managed to overcome the obstacles After doing a lot of modifications I got frustrated, because managing/changing/undoing all these changes was a total mess. Inspired by NicoDE's RisenSDK (http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/886883-release-RisenSDK) and despite being a c++ newbie, I created a Gothic 3 SDK. Everything got so much easier, it was a great feeling.

The SDK will be released in the near future, so that everyone who wants can use it. (and because the license of the RisenSDK demands it :p)

[zandr]

...To be honest, you were my motiviation to start engine modding...

The SDK will released in the near future, so that everyone who wants can use it...
Great news for the G3-modding! Now you have powerful possibilities of engine editing. I guess my "mission" may be considered as successfully completed. I only wanted Gothic 3 to become better, so it's very good if somebody can do this job better than me. I hope coming CSP will be really great game. But tell me if my experience also can be useful.

P.s: WoG.de (http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_523.htm) download link updated and added to header. Thanks to MadFaTal!

Maybe you missunderstood me, I have no plans to release something similiar to your Update Pack, working on the CSP takes more than enough time.
The SDK on its own doesn't change anything, it just extends the modding possibilities.

Your experience can be useful. The Update Pack and the CSP will be incompatible. So if we want to use some cool feature/bugifx from the Update Pack, we have to reimplement it. In this situation your advice would be really appreciated.

[|Lorn|]

Oh wow, an SDK. Sounds great :D

Now, any chance of implementing some of the changes I've mentioned concerning the SVMs? :)

[Aztec2012]

Any modifikazion to fix worn weapons?

[xivragis]

hio, zandr i have question 4 you.

youve added real dmg to spells , it is possible to add such dmg to weapons dependings on STR adn DEX mean swords, helbards, bows and crossbows ?

usually people does not know how its calculate( as far as i read on som topis it was STR/5 DEX/5)

if it is could you add this to your patch
and if its possible it is necessery to start new game to make it working ?


@update
and one more thing it is possible to stop orcs running from conquered cities eg when there is only few orcs left in some city they are running, and sometimes it happens situation that important orc with som item to quest run and disapear and we have problem. Do you have knowledge how to stopp this runing ?

[zandr]

youve added real dmg to spells
Only basic damage displaying has been added, not depending on INT.


it is possible to add such dmg to weapons dependings on STR adn DEX mean swords, helbards, bows and crossbows ?

...if it is could you add this to your patch
Of cause it is possible. But I don't like the idea to replace completely basic damage values displaying by "corrected" damage values. I have in my wishlist some other ideas:
1. Displaying of "composite" damage, e.g. "50+75+25=150" [50 (basic damage) + 75 (150 STR/2) + 25 ("Strong swordfighter" skill bonus]. I don't like this idea to much so it only can be implemented as optional feature.
2. Displaying of damage values of every hit (symbols dynamically rising from NPC like in Arcania/Dragon Age 2 etc). This feature should be also optional.
3. The most difficult feature - to add new window to character menu with some summary information e.g.:
- hero's "mannequin" with all equipped stuff like in many RPG games including Risen 1
- some additional parameters like "composite" damage.


usually people does not know how its calculate
I don't sure that every player wants to know all these calculations.


( as far as i read on som topis it was STR/5 DEX/5)
Real damage in fact depends on [basic damage] + [STR/DEX divided by 2 or INT] + [skill bonus] +/- [many other modificators].


and if its possible it is necessery to start new game to make it working ?
Majority of dll-modifications don't require new game start.


@update
and one more thing it is possible to stop orcs running from conquered cities eg when there is only few orcs left in some city they are running, and sometimes it happens situation that important orc with som item to quest run and disapear and we have problem. Do you have knowledge how to stopp this runing ?
I like this idea and already created such "patch (http://upload.worldofplayers.de/files10/NoPanicNPCs.rar)" 1,5 year ago.

[xivragis]

nice, those patch is incompatible with smthng ? or just change in actual using dll some bytes ?

dmg calculation is like on this site ?:
http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/614999-Detaillierte-Schadenberechnung-in-Gothic-3

about your 3 ways - i think every is good. but to minimize amount of info to non interested people the best options seems to be 1 st and 3rd. 2nd its more for h&s and mmo games here it could interupt rpg feelings.

its a problem to add this feature 4 you ? im actually far behinde from using debuger ;(

Hit me! (http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_523.htm)

[Vigarde]

Awesome.
Thanks a ton, guys.
This patch fixed most of the things I had issues with and even added nice to have features to boot!

Wish you could've gotten rid of the clipping problems when wearing certain armors in combination with shields and crossbows as well but I'm guessing it's not that simple to do.

You are right, we have no task to fix that.

We continue to work on 1.04 version development, Update Pack v1.04.02 beta is ready. Please write me if somebody wants to help us and to take part in testing.

[Drakon1590]

What is the installation order when you want to play Gothic 3 with QP and your UP, but without CM or any other mod? What should I install first, QP, or UP?

How long will it take to version 1.04? Approximately, what changes will introduce this version, compared to the previous? And finally, is it or will be possible to turn off the color names of objects?

Could you share with me the sample images, showing the difference between the objects from G3 and those from FG, which have been changed in CP? I've never played G3 without CP 1.75 with AB and these changes, so I do not know what objects you mention in the changelog, and I would like to choose what I want to see in the game.

[zandr]

What is the installation order when you want to play Gothic 3 with QP and your UP, but without CM or any other mod?
1. Gothic 3
2. CP 1.75
3. Update Pack
4. Questpaket
5. Questpaket Update for CP 1.75
6. UpdatePack_SupportMod


How long will it take to version 1.04?
Version 1.04 is under development until the end of this spring, then it's time for release. Testers may play in current version today.


And finally, is it or will be possible to turn off the color names of objects?
What objects do you mean? Lectern and veins or items? If items, just read the Update Pack documentations to learn how to turn it off.


Could you share with me the sample images, showing the difference between the objects from G3 and those from FG, which have been changed in CP?

[TheDovahkiin97]

hi guys,

I wanted to play g3 and now I saw there is coming a new release by the end of this spring but I wanted to ask if it is still possible to become a beta tester?
And if not: are there any significant changes in the next version? Because I want to play g3 now and I dont have the patience to wait one more month :o
And will the 1.03 savegames be compatible with 1.04?

greets

Hi,

sorry for my bad english, but i've got one problem with this mod and I don't know what to do. Don't know if this "problem" was mentioned before but after I've installed this pack, XP points for killed enemies are gained even if I don't fight with them. I noticed that right after I've started a new game in Ardea, when I got XP for orcs killed by npc's fighting with them. I went to the place where orcs couldn't reach me and just watched the bettle between citizens, my companions and the orcs and still was getting XP points for doing nothing. Similar situation was when I met a hunter fighting with some wolves. Tried to help him, but he finished one wolf and I got xp, then he fought another one, now without my help and still I got xp for wolf he killed. Haven't check another places but i bet this situation would repeat. I did many reinstalls, installed mod in different order (after CP 1.75.14, after CP+QP 4.2, then after CP+QP+CM 2.6.3) but this "error" still occurs. Still, I would really like to play the game with your Update Pack because I really like what you did here and I think it's a great job after all. But this one little bug ruins my gameplay. So, is there any solution for this situation ?

I guess when milten, gorn and diego kill orcs you get the xp because they are your companions at this point. and I dont understand how this could ruin your gameplay, i mean i would be angry if some hunters grind my xp :p

[HAL8K]

Hi,

if it was the case it wouldn't be much problem to me, but it also happened with hunter Jens, which is not one of my companions. Gothic 3 is quite large and long game to finish and i'd like to have the best possible "experience" (and demanding too), so I consider this kind of bug (i guess) some kind of cheat, that makes some fights extremely easy, especially when someone else is doing hard work defeating monsters and I'm the one who gets free XP's (hmm...it sounds kinda familiar :D ). Game without Update Pack installed behave normally, that means I have to kill enemy myself to get XP. But MAYBE it's not a bug, just a FEATURE ? :D Just asking :)
--------------
Allright, I've made some other tries and it seems there could be problem with my installation. Still getting free XP's in Ardea (from companions maybe) but in other places, such as Cape Dun and with hunter Jens everything seems to be allright again. So, yeah, my bad :)

[zandr]

...I wanted to ask if it is still possible to become a beta tester?
Of cause it is possible. I send PM for you. I am sorry for my late reply.


...are there any significant changes in the next version?
I think some new features will be significant and very usefull.


And will the 1.03 savegames be compatible with 1.04?
I believe it will be no problems with compatibility.


...XP points for killed enemies are gained even if I don't fight with them...

So, is there any solution for this situation ?
"There is not bug but feature":

59. The experience calculation has been changed:
- the hero gains experience from the friendly NPCs which joined a battle initiated by the hero as well as from friends during the battle in Ardea;
But I can make "downgrade patcher" for this feature if you really want it.

[Squerol]

Great job with updates §wink

Anyway, I have two questions to You:

1.) Is it possible to disable "worn" weapons status? Half damage of worn weapons It's just stupid idea in my opinion, in Gothic 1/2 Risen 1 it was made better - you could get weapons with normal damage from your enemies. I saw in changelog that you've messed with worn bows and crossbow, so I think you know how to do it :)

2.) Do you know how to change your character attack animation speed? Is there multiplier of attack speed of hero anywhere? I've looked in player hero (forget how it is named) templates, but there were only movement speed multipliers. I just want it to manipulate game speed - speed up everything with speedhack in Cheat Engine, and then slow down player hero a bit t0o, in result, make enemies faster and our hero only bit faster too, I've completed Dark Souls with modification like that last time and it was very enjoyable expierience (video that I've recorded from my playtrough, you will see how my idea on speedhacking looks like https://youtu.be/wn-VsSzFolE), so I want to try that with Gothic 3 too :)

Thanks for still messing with Gothic 3, keep it up and good luck §wink

[zandr]

Is it possible to disable "worn" weapons status?
Of cause it is possible. But we don't like the idea to make it so easy - just disable it from the beginning. Maybe possibility to repair worn weapon will be implemented in future Update Pack versions.


Do you know how to change your character attack animation speed?
Yes, and I have already tested such things. It needs some engine modifications.


Thanks for still messing with Gothic 3, keep it up and good luck §wink
Update Pack v1.04 will be published very soon. Please write me if somebody may help us with English, German and Polish documentation translation, or if you want to test pre-final version. Thank you!

[Robespier]

Of cause it is possible. But we don't like the idea to make it so easy - just disable it from the beginning. Maybe possibility to repair worn weapon will be implemented in future Update Pack versions.
Maybe it could be realized through adding dialogs for repairing that will cost a 100% price of a weapon you want to repair.

That sounds great! Robespier idea about that is very good too, would be nice to see that stuff in game.



Yes, and I have already tested such things. It needs some engine modifications.


Damn man, sounds awesome! Could you give any tips how to change hero combat animation speed so? But I guess it will be impossible to make by completly newb in terms of modding like me :(

But I've tested already which speed of enemies and players will be perfect in my opinion to make combat more dynamic, enjoyable and challenging. For enemies, their speed perfect is if they are 100% faster (2x speed), and for hero best control and feel of combat is when hero is 40% faster (1.4x speed). So, If You raise whole game speed with global speedhack in Cheat Engine (hero, enemies, everything) by 100% (2x), then You need to change hero speed value like that - for example "x" is value of hero speed, so - x/2 (/2 because we speed up whole game x2 with CE, so we need /2 to achieve normal speed of hero) and then x*1,4 to make hero 40% faster, while everything else is 100% faster. So if value of hero speed is just simple "1", it should be 0,7 now to achieve that speed. I dont know what value determines hero attack animation speed, so You just need to make those simple calculations on it.

Thanks again man for modding §wink

[Sagrido]

Update Pack v1.04 will be published very soon.

Yay!!! This plus new CM will be great! Time to do another Gothic 3 playthrough soon then

Yesterday, when translating Polish list of changes, I noticed that the English version of it needs improvement (examples below). Therefore, I will check the English list of changes and improves what will be needed to improve. However, to make sure that my work is not in vain, so I need to install the latest version of Update Pack to have an insight into some changes. So please send me the version 1.04.

examples of text lines, which, in my opinion, should be corrected in the English changelog:

"03. The special items names in different cases are optionally highlighted with appropriate color"
it should be
"03. The names of items, belonging to specific groups, are now, optionally, highlighted with appropriate colour in different cases"

"04. Displaying of receiving items messages revised"
it should be
"04. Displaying information about received items"

As soon as I install UP 1.04, I'll check and improve the English list of changes, and translate the Polish changelog. But I do not know how long it will take, so please be patient.

[zandr]

...I noticed that the English version of it needs improvement...
Yes, please fix it where needed. My English is not enough good.

"03. The special items names in different cases are optionally highlighted with appropriate color"
it should be
"03. The names of items, belonging to specific groups, are now, optionally, highlighted with appropriate colour in different cases"
Certainly you are right, but I only doubt about commas.


"04. Displaying of receiving items messages revised"
it should be
"04. Displaying information about received items"
I am not 100% sure about that, both seems to me not very clear. Maybe you'd better to try Russian-to-Polish google translation sometimes to understand what was my original meaning?

...so I need to install the latest version of Update Pack to have an insight into some changes. So please send me the version 1.04.
I sent a PM to you.

[Drakon1590]

When I started yesterday translate the Polish changelog and started translate one of these sentences, I couldn't even understand it, so I took the google translator to translate it from Russian. That's why I know that these sentences have been badly translated into English.


I sent a PM to you.

Thanks a lot.:D

[Sagrido]

Waiting for this new release before I jump into new Gothic 3 with CM 3.0 ^^ Cannot wait! Keep up the great work :gratz

[Drakon1590]

You should improve the Polish name of one of the tabs in the alternative diary mode, from "Nauczycieli" to "Nauczyciele".

If I find something else to improve, then I will let you know.

[Squerol]

I've managed to speed up enemies a bit - I've just catched disease status from Lizard monster with Hero character and then changed value of current Stamina in Cheat Engine to -1 - it slows down my character attack speed permamently. Then, I've speed up whole game in Cheat Engine to get faster attack speed of my character, but increasing enemies speed too at same time. Effect is that nameless hero is slower, enemies are faster $§p4 Something like challenge run is now, I need try playing it, can be interesting. And because -1 value of current stamina, I can't run, so fleeing from danger is bad idea now, but It's cool feature hehe But after speedhacking my character normal jog speed is in near same speed like run speed from non-speedhacked game, so It's not disturbing exploration.I've observed that after speedhacking game, block holding timer changed too - normally is 3 seconds I guess, at 45% faster game there is no more turtling behiund block too :p

But still I have question about human/orc AI - I've already sent You Private Message about that, you know, AI of enemies on arena is totally diffirent than outside arena fights, would be awesome to all enemies have that AI model (but no speed-up from arena, just AI), fights could be more interesting. I've messed with templates, but didn't saw any stuff with combat AI... Dunno how It is even done, creators of Community Patch implemented that AI model into game, with EE of Forsaken Gods Expansion, and then into 1.75 Patch of standard Gothic 3.

Sorry for possible spam, just after release CM 3.0 and your Update Packs Gothic 3 feels interesting again, but I'm trying to find a way to make combat system more interesting, one unusual way to do that I've already found (speed changing I mean)

[George]

What are the differences you observed between arena and normal combat AI, besides the speed-up on hard difficulty? Specific information would be helpful to solve this problem.

[Squerol]

What are the differences you observed between arena and normal combat AI, besides the speed-up on hard difficulty? Specific information would be helpful to solve this problem.

Every Human/Orc outside arena have the same predictable AI - perform 1 hit -> strafe or block -> perform 1 hit -> strafe or block -> perform 1 hit -> and so on, they can't do combo....

On arena, besides speed-up, they can link combo sequences, they are more aggressive but still can block with their weapon/shield - and because that, opponents are less predictable there. Try looking on Zombies with melee weapons AI too - they are very aggressive, something like dudes from arena, but block attacks less likely,

Offtopic, I've made short video how my cheat-engine speed-up works https://youtu.be/4qz0FDrUtUM

4GB are maximum for Gothic3, because it's a 32 bit game software.

You should improve the Polish name of one of the tabs in the alternative diary mode, from "Nauczycieli" to "Nauczyciele".

If I find something else to improve, then I will let you know.
I have found a few things that need correcting:


The message "Item missing: Drum stick" displayed when the player unsuccessfully tries to interact with Orkish drum should be translated into Polish as follows "Brakujący przedmiot: Pałka perkusyjna", but in the Polish version of the game the name of this item has been mistranslated ("Patyk", English "Stick"), the result of which is the fact that this message has also been mistranslated, more precisely in such a manner "Brakujący przedmiot: Patyk". So both the name of the item and the displayed message should be changed. Once again, the correct translation:

Item:

"Drum stick" - "Pałka perkusyjna"
message:

"Item missing: Drum stick" - "Brakujący przedmiot: Pałka perkusyjna"


Next problem:

English line:

"- the line "HUD_Req_Skill ("Requirement")" in the spellbook, in case of spells that require to learn another spell first, now has been replaced by line HUD_Req_Knowledge ("Required knowledge");"
Polish line:

"- linia HUD_Req_Skill ("Wymagane") w księdze czarów, w przypadku czarów, które wymagają nauczenia się wpierw innego czaru, została zastąpiona linią HUD_Req_Knowledge ("Wiedza");"

The fix from the line above forces making corrections in the Polish version of the game and consequently making similar corrections in the English version as well. Polish expression "Wymagane" should be necessarily changed into "Wymagana zdolność" and expression "Wiedza" into "Wymagana wiedza" and hence it would be good to change English expression "Requirement" into "Required skill".
http://i.imgur.com/Yf7RtLo.png
If you make it correct, I have a new line both in English and Polish.

In English:

"- the line "HUD_Req_Skill ("Requirement")" in the spellbook, in case of spells that require to learn another spell first, now has been replaced by line HUD_Req_Knowledge ("Required knowledge"), and in case of spells that require to learn the skill first, the expression in this line has been changed from "Requirement" to "Required skill";"
In Polish:

"- linia HUD_Req_Skill ("Wymagane") w księdze czarów w przypadku czarów, które wymagają nauczenia się wpierw innego czaru, została zastąpiona linią HUD_Req_Knowledge ("Wymagana wiedza"), zaś w przypadku czarów, które wymagają nauczenia się wpierw danej umiejętności, wyrażenie w tej linii zostało zmienione z "Wymagane" na "Wymagana zdolność";"


Next problem:
In my opinion undermentioned change should be recalled or made available as optional because it is the number of a slot that is all about, not the corresponding key.

"+the number of the Quick Access slot no.10, has been changed from "10" to "0"."


Next problem:
When praying to Innos by his shrine we can choose from one of two spell lists which spell we want to learn. There's a spell "Word of dominance" among them the Polish name of which is "Słowo dominacji" but the Polish name displayed in this place is "Polecenie". The name of the mentioned spell should thus be changed from "Polecenie" into "Słowo dominacji"

Next problem:
These two icons should be replaced with each other because they have been matched with the inappropriate skills.

Next problem:
I suggest you to correct a few things in the Polish version of the UP Installer:

1. I think that it's a good idea to change - if it's possible - the name of the mod in the Polish version of the installer from "Update Pack" to "Pakiet Aktualizacyjny".

2. In the undermentioned screenshot you can see the first page of the installer with the highlighted description, in which there are a few important comments.
http://i.imgur.com/GHHewaP.png
The description should be replaced by this - corrected one:

"Przedstawiamy "Gothic 3 Edycja Rozszerzona v1.75 Pakiet Aktualizacyjny v(...)".

Ważne uwagi:
- Jest to nieoficjalny Pakiet Aktualizacyjny, więc instalujesz go na własne ryzyko! Nie ponosimy odpowiedzialności za ewentualne problemy wynikające z jego instalacji.
- Pakiet Aktualizacyjny wymaga Gothic 3 w wersji 1.75.14.
- Poprzednie wersje Pakietu Aktualizacyjnego należy odinstalować.

Kontynuując instalację Pakietu Aktualizacyjnego, akceptujesz tę umowę automatycznie!"

3. In the undermentioned screenshot you can see the second page of the installer with the highlighted text:
http://i.imgur.com/tcJasdX.png
The text should be replaced by this - corrected one:

"Instalator zainstaluje program Gothic 3 v.1.75 Pakiet Aktualizacyjny w podanym niżej folderze. Proszę wybrać folder, w którym jest zainstalowana gra Gothic 3 v.1.75 kikając przycisk "Przeglądaj...". Kliknij przycisk "Dalej", by kontynuować."

Hello zandr,

if I understand right, you need to translate the new "v1.04 changelog" and "v1.04 G3IniSetup" into German?
So I can help with this. §wink

[Drakon1590]

In the Polish version of the game after installing the Quest Pack probably all new lines/names added by UP are displayed in English. Below you can see some screenshots that illustrate what I wrote:

Here, I've translated documentation to Polish language - translated new entries and corrected the old ones

Thank you, comrades! I've got your translations.


I have found a few things that need correcting:
...
Two fixes of Polish stringtable implemented: "Patyk" -> "Pałka perkusyjna", "Polecenie" -> "Słowo dominacji". But these fixes like many other text corrections will be not available with mods installed.


Next problem:
These two icons should be replaced with each other because they have been matched with the inappropriate skills.
http://i.imgur.com/SrhKZZh.png
I can't agree, Zuben armor is appropriate icon for "Dark Mage" skill.


Next problem:...

"- the line "HUD_Req_Skill ("Requirement")" in the spellbook, in case of spells that require to learn another spell first, now has been replaced by line HUD_Req_Knowledge ("Required knowledge");"
...
I think it would be better to remove this minor change from Update Pack. We have also a problems with it in Russian version with mods installed. Also I have to note that HUD_Req_Knowledge line originally used in recipes menu.


Next problem:
In my opinion undermentioned change should be recalled or made available as optional because it is the number of a slot that is all about, not the corresponding key.

"+the number of the Quick Access slot no.10, has been changed from "10" to "0"."
I don't want to make it optional because Piranhas did the same thing in Risen 1:
http://upload.worldofplayers.de/files10/R1_QuickSlot0.jpg
Also I can't see what's wrong with my simple translation: <the quick slot number "10" changed to "0">.


1. I think that it's a good idea to change - if it's possible - the name of the mod in the Polish version of the installer from "Update Pack" to "Pakiet Aktualizacyjny".

2. In the undermentioned screenshot you can see the first page of the installer with the highlighted description, in which there are a few important comments.

Ok, I replaced text "Update Pack" in most cases, but not in headers. Also I suggest "pakiet aktualizacji" instead of "Pakiet Aktualizacyjny" which seems to me more similar to original Russian name of our project: "пакет обновлений".


In the Polish version of the game after installing the Quest Pack probably all new lines/names added by UP are displayed in English.
This is our new feature:

"74. In case of texts absence in Stringtable because of the mods installed, texts of lines implemented in Update Pack and beginning with "UPD_" now are generated from its internal names aligned to English localization."

I think it is better to have English text than empty lines. Your problem is that newest version of "UpdatePack_SupportMod" is not installed.


EDIT:
I checked the "ge3.ini" file before and after installing the Quest Pack and noticed that the language section has been changed slightly...
This doesn't change anything in game in fact.

All new documentation for v1.04 is here (http://rgho.st/6zVKSz24f). German updated by miky miles, Polish updated by Squerol, some corrections was added by me. I remember that Drakon1590 is also working on Polish version, so if you both want, please compare your different versions and give me "combined" or improved one. Also it would be great to have Polish documentation for modders, because now English document installed during Polish Installation. Thank you once again for all, comrades. Sorry for my late reply. I had not enough time for Gothic last weeks, but at last release day is coming.

[Drakon1590]

I can't agree, Zuben armor is appropriate icon for "Dark Mage" skill.
And I can not agree with you, Zuben's armor represents only himself, and eventually a great power, and in my opinion, the icon assigned to the Dark Mag skill, should be general and represent all of the Dark Mages, as is in case of the other two skills - Water Mag and Fire Mage.



I think it would be better to remove this minor change from Update Pack. We have also a problems with it in Russian version with mods installed. Also I have to note that HUD_Req_Knowledge line originally used in recipes menu.
If so, then I will remove this line from the Polish and English changelog.



I don't want to make it optional because Piranhas did the same thing in Risen 1:
http://upload.worldofplayers.de/files10/R1_QuickSlot0.jpg
Okay, in the end it's nothing important.



Also I can't see what's wrong with my simple translation: <the quick slot number "10" changed to "0">.
In my opinion, your simple translation is inaccurate.



Ok, I replaced text "Update Pack" in most cases, but not in headers. Also I suggest "pakiet aktualizacji" instead of "Pakiet Aktualizacyjny" which seems to me more similar to original Russian name of our project: "пакет обновлений".
In that case, here's the corrected text for the Polish version of the UP installer.
first page:

"Przedstawiamy "Gothic 3 Edycja Rozszerzona v1.75 Pakiet Aktualizacji v(...)".

Ważne uwagi:
- Jest to nieoficjalny Pakiet Aktualizacji, więc instalujesz go na własne ryzyko! Nie ponosimy odpowiedzialności za ewentualne problemy wynikające z jego instalacji.

- Poprzednie wersje Pakietu Aktualizacji należy odinstalować.

I think it is better to have English text than empty lines.
Then tell me, how can I translate the texts of the game?

Hey Gothic-Fans and Creators of the great Update Pack,
I installed Gothic 3 only with Community Patch 1.75.14 and YOUR Update Pack 1.03.15 and I have an irritating bug, which produces a Textur-Cube, which gets bigger and bigger if I change my armor and go around.

FOR THE GERMAN READERS CLICK THE LINK BELOW:
http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1469830-Grafikfehler-beim-R%C3%BCstungswechsel?p=24970028&viewfull=1#post24970028
___________________________________
I installed Gothic 3 in the following order:
- Gothic 3 STEAM -Edition (GERMAN)
- CP 1.75.14
- Update Pack 1.03.15

Of course, I installed all Parts as Admin.
I am playing with AB, but without alternative KI.
____________________________________

EDIT 1: Here are two screenshots of the Texture-Cube:

44538

44539

____________________________________

Description of the BUG:
First of all, I have tested really much cases out and I made some interesting experiences till now, which one of the creators of the Update Pack 1.03.15 certainly use to solve my problem. I would be really happy about this.

BUG: "I get a huge Textur-Cube, if I change my armor in the game."
Detail 1: "The Bug only occurs, if I change my armor sometime after I was damaged by an enemy."
Detail 2: "It also seems, as if the huge Texture-Cube gets out of the face of the hero."
Detail 3: "If I have the Texture-Cube and i reload my savegame, it disappears automatically."
Detail 4: "If I talk to a NPC, where the Hero has an Dialog-Option, the Bug disappears, after the camera showed the talking hero." (thanks to -In Extrem0-)
Detail 5: "The point, where the Bug begins is the starting point of the Texture-Cube and the face of the Hero the Endpoint. The more the hero goes away from the Cube-Starting-Point, the bigger gets the cube.
____________________________________

An example situation, where I get the Bug and where not (in steps):

1) Gothic 3 started on windows and a new game gets started in Ardea, where the people are figthing.
2) Cheat idkfa to get armors
3) Hero change multiple armors and there is no problem.
4) Hero runs into an attack of an orc (opponent) and gets damaged
5) Hero change his armor again and there is the texture bug, how you see on the picture.
____________________________________

My Conclusion

The Texture-Cube occurs first, if I get damaged and the hero shut "urgh" and I change my armor in the further game. So a new function with the face must be the problem. So I really think, it has something to do with the function, where the hero turns to the item when he picks it up is my problem I think.
The mysterious Texture-Cube gets out of the face of the hero and then the cube follows the hero's face and gets bigger and bigger, because it starts, where the bug(armor swap) beginned and ends in hero's face. Then, if I talk to somebody and the camera swaps, when the hero says something, the texture cube disappears. It's like a reset of the hero's face ^^.

Maybe anybody has an idea to solve my Problem? I want to play as soon as possible, because I finite want to play the game further without bugs.



EDIT: I've read the hole thread now and I recognized, that you still need somebody for German translations. I could try to help you, if you still need help with the translations.

Greetings
Giraffe


EDIT : I found another Bug. If I put Two torches on the floor and use one new in the hand, then the new torch generates no light.

There are some rare bugs in Gothic 3 which still have not been fixed, but don't worry about them.

There are no viruses but patcher for dll-files.

[emperorsfist]

Thank you for your hard work. It~s great to see Gothic 3 being still polished into a great game. If I may have a question, since you touched up the combat system and made 'swim sprinting' a thing, would you consider at some point tweaking the skills for bows and crossbows so that they speed up your reload (if such thing is even possible)? It would make ranged weapons into more viable options, since now the crossbows are quite slow to use (and the aiming does not help).

[ETPC]

Is there a bug in Mora Sul when killing Orknarok that you can't report his death to Masil after being told to escort him to the Temple? Masil won't speak to me and the only option that come up is the option to pickpocket him. I know you are supposed to be able to tell him there was an accident, is that right? I only know about this way through a walkthrough but it could be totally making things up.

[Beatart]

Can you please also do the same changes for G3 Forsaken Gods Patch v2.01?
Just only a "quick loot" will be very helpfull.

[Squerol]

Hey zandr, I've encountered a problem with Your new evade system - it's glitched when player character is inside any cave in game world (even under that half-cave spot with wolves, near monastery). In caves, evade animation is playing, but hero is not jumping backwards + you can freely float around when You hold movement keys when evade animation is playing.

Second thing, I saw that single one-handed weapons and one-handed+shield have strange way to break NPC's shield/weapon block - if we spam combination : RMB (right mouse button) + LMB (left mouse button) + RMB + LMB + RMB + LMB + RMB + LMB and so on... we can endlessly break any NPC/Orc block without possibility of spammed enemy to fight back. It's ridiculous - especially that two-handed weapons don't have such ability. Would be cool if that block breaking effect of attacks spam would be disabled by You in next Update Pack (of course if You will make that one). Dual-wield whirlwind attack (RMB hold) is overpowered too - would be better if NPCs or hero could block that attack with any weapon, like whirlwind of two-handed orc/humans weapons.

Thanks §wink

[ETPC]

Thank you so much again. I'm so glad I got to experience this game with all these amazing fixes and enhancements. Gothic 3 is still amazing in 2016!

[milfhunt3r]

Thank you for this amazing update zandr and your team. But after I updated this pack, especially try to play Adrenaline mode 3.2 my game does not load and I get the message of "microsoft visual c++ r6025 pure virtual function call". Whatever I do I cannot get rid of it. Any have same problem or idea what should I do ? I make tons of installs and have a new insane gamer PC. I have this message just when my upload bar in the end first I get message of Scripted script is not registered: Onllit! . But if I remove your update or reinstall w/o it everything works fine

[Vaana]

Hi
After playing Gothic 3 with your update pack, I decided to play G3FG. After starting a new game I realized how unplayable the game was for me. I was missing lot of features that the update pack introduced. For example: Being able to run while your inventory is open, Unused things like bookshelfs show up orange until you read them, being to teleport by double clicking on the icon of the city, ect... . So why am I writing this ? I would like to give you some suggestions that I would like to see in the update pack. I would also like to ask you if you will make something similar to the update pack for G3FG aswell. If so I have also made a list for that.

G3
- Falling damage seems to be calculated based on the time spent falling not the vertical distance fallen. This wouldnt be a problem but sometimes you can easily get killed just by being in the air for too long. example: Try to jump on a back of a cow. You will float over it and if you can balance it well you can float for a long time. But after you fall down it will instantly kill you even you have fallen just a half a meter
- You can easily climb mountains by jumping again and again when you start falling. example: https://youtu.be/OtG4SivNdAk?t=5m18s . This can be fixed by disabling jump when you start falling.
- I think it would be really nice if city icons would change color based on the side. example : This is how the maps looks like when you start the game http://www.jpeg.cz/images/2016/10/01/rbisK.png . This is how it could look like when you liberate Varant and Myrtana http://www.jpeg.cz/images/2016/10/01/2lBAL.png .
- Everybody knows that you can hold CTRL and pickup Items quicker. If there would be a delay between every item it would be the same as just grabbing it
- The take all option when looting chests or bodies is very annoying. Why ? Because the position of the cursor changes when you move your mouse even if you are not in the menu. This is fixed in Risen because when you click on the take all button and move mouse however you want it will still be on the take all button when you go loot another body/chest.
- In both G3 and G3A I had the "slow motion" problem. I fixed it in the ge3.ini
By changing this
Timer.ThreadSafe=true
To this
Timer.ThreadSafe=false
I think it would be better having an option in the settings to turn this on/off


If you are going to make a G3FG version here is a list of my suggestions. If not than the rest of this is useless
G3FG
- Include the update pack changes
- HUD is made for 4:3 and because of that its strected on my 16:9 monitor. example: 4:3 http://www.jpeg.cz/images/2016/10/01/A9MjC.png 16:9 http://www.jpeg.cz/images/2016/10/01/vY19x.png
- Teleport stones dont take any mana. In G3 they do take mana.
- You can still use the Beliar/Innos statues to pray even if the gods were banished. (If you decide to destroy the artefacts of Adanos in G3 and try to use one of the statues hero will just say "NO")
- Add abillity to change the key for the quick side jumps. I dont see a use for them. I cant count on my fingers how many times have I accidentaly jumped out of the arena because i doublepressed S.
- 4 Passes to Nordmar are still open.
- Add more language options to the menu. example: Czech language is already included in the Enhanced Editon. But if I want to use it I have to edit a line in ge3.ini
I changed this

- Add an option to change the FG hero model to the G3 hero model

That should be all. Thanks for reading and potentially responding.

I can't install the Update Pack. I installed the game through Steam and applied the Community Patch, so the version of Gothic3Final.exe is 1.75.20108.14, which is the version the Update Pack requires. But when prompted to 'Select the folder to install Gothic 3 v1.75 Update Pack in', I browse to the folder where G3 is installed but I can't click the 'OK' button to confirm. So the Update Pack installer doesn't recognize that I have the correct version of G3, although I do. How can I fix this?

[zandr]

...would you consider at some point tweaking the skills for bows and crossbows so that they speed up your reload (if such thing is even possible)? It would make ranged weapons into more viable options, since now the crossbows are quite slow to use (and the aiming does not help).
In fact Crossbow II and Crossbow III perks increase reload speed in original game.


Can you please also do the same changes for G3 Forsaken Gods Patch v2.01?
Just only a "quick loot" will be very helpfull.
Sorry, I have no time for G3a.


Hey zandr, I've encountered a problem with Your new evade system - it's glitched when player character is inside any cave in game world (even under that half-cave spot with wolves, near monastery). In caves, evade animation is playing, but hero is not jumping backwards + you can freely float around when You hold movement keys when evade animation is playing.
Thanks. I know about this problem and hope to fix it in future.


...I would also like to ask you if you will make something similar to the update pack for G3FG aswell.
No, sorry.


...I would like to give you some suggestions that I would like to see in the update pack...

G3
- Falling damage seems to be calculated based on the time spent falling not the vertical distance fallen. This wouldnt be a problem but sometimes you can easily get killed just by being in the air for too long. example: Try to jump on a back of a cow. You will float over it and if you can balance it well you can float for a long time. But after you fall down it will instantly kill you even you have fallen just a half a meter
- You can easily climb mountains by jumping again and again when you start falling. example: https://youtu.be/OtG4SivNdAk?t=5m18s . This can be fixed by disabling jump when you start falling.
- I think it would be really nice if city icons would change color based on the side. example : This is how the maps looks like when you start the game http://www.jpeg.cz/images/2016/10/01/rbisK.png . This is how it could look like when you liberate Varant and Myrtana http://www.jpeg.cz/images/2016/10/01/2lBAL.png .
- Everybody knows that you can hold CTRL and pickup Items quicker. If there would be a delay between every item it would be the same as just grabbing it
- The take all option when looting chests or bodies is very annoying. Why ? Because the position of the cursor changes when you move your mouse even if you are not in the menu. This is fixed in Risen because when you click on the take all button and move mouse however you want it will still be on the take all button when you go loot another body/chest.
- In both G3 and G3A I had the "slow motion" problem. I fixed it in the ge3.ini
By changing this
Timer.ThreadSafe=true
To this
Timer.ThreadSafe=false
I think it would be better having an option in the settings to turn this on/off
Thank you! I will think about these features together with many others in my list.

Please check everything once again, because there are no other requirements:
- You should have "Gothic3.exe" in your destination folder.
- It's version should be "1.75.20108.14" [size = 196.608, md5 = b163c1a067f858c3af97ebcf91eb3a34]

[Ishmael2379]

Yeah... the problem is that Steam updates the file Gothic3Final.exe to 1.75.20108.14 but not Gothic3.exe. So manually downloading and installing the (very same) community patch again fixes this problem because then Gothic3.exe gets updated to 1.75.20108.14.

Knowing this, maybe a simple renaming of the file 'Gothic3Final.exe' to 'Gothic3.exe' may fix it, too, but I didn't get to try that so I can't say for sure.

Ah well, this may be interesting information for future Steam users who run into the same problem. Anyway, thanks for your reply ;)

Hey zandr.

I've modified Your dodging system - not much, just changed animation.
Right now our character is rolling and we can change direction during roll §wink

Download

(http://www.mediafire.com/file/19k19617hluhaci/_compiledAnimation.rar)
Just copy "_compiledAnimation" folder to Gothic 3 "Data" folder

I offered to our testers to try this animation in one of of 1.04 beta versions last spring. In fact the hero does not perform any movement, but stay at the same place. So I decided to left implementation of rolling for future, because it need some additional engine modifications.

Oh, sorry so zandr. I thought You've didn't messed with acrobatics animation before.
Anyway, for me that rolling it's cool even with that movement problem - at least when moving with character it works without any problems §wink

[Trolleule]

hi guys,
still nice work zandr! Ive a question, maybe a suggestion. It is currently possible to highlight all items on the ground near u by pressing a key, if not u will implement it in next update maybe? :)

[zandr]

Yes, it is possible using cheat "show 1", see documentation for details.

I am currently working on fixes for v1.04.11 and new content for v1.05. Our project is open for suggestions from community, although I have a huge list with hundreds of ideas and possibility to implement only a few of them in the next version.

[Der andere Milten]

There seems to be a problem involving stone tablets. Once you have 2 or more of those in your inventory you may select one of them and get the 3 aw bonus, but the rest becomes unusable (for good).

I reinstalled g3 with just cp 1.75.14 and it works fine, but when you add this patch it gets screwy. Btw the bug is persistent, reloading does not help.

I know about this bug and I am sorry for such a pity mistake. A bugfix has been prepared few months ago, but I'd like to make some more things for v1.04.11 before it will be published. Nevertheless this bug is not critical, please use quickslots to read stone tablets.

[Der andere Milten]

Thanks, I have a few suggestions for future updates.

1. Vendors for stone tablets should spawn a fixed amount of tablets. 4 Seems to be the limit, with 13 vendors in game that's a difference of 156 ak merely due to random chance. If it's anyway possible set a fixed amount of 3 or 4 per vendor.

2. Graves (marked by a skull, requiring a showel to dig) should work more like regular containers, i.e. generate contents upon reload, rather then restarting the game; and provide a one time loot (rather then unlimited refills upon save/restart).

This is easy task for modders.

I have already tried to fix this bug and I want to make another attempt for v1.05. The problem is that G3 engine doesn't correctly save changed parameters of graves.

[Trolleule]

Yes, it is possible using cheat "show 1", see documentation for details.
....

Hi zandr,
i used this "cheat" since i've asked for it and currently after having a short break of 2 days my Gothic 3 freezes every time when i write "show 1" in the console. I tried a early save game but the same. Immediately after typing "show 1" Gothic 3 freezes, one time with "Wheres the Guru" window and then iam not even able to kill the process so i've to log out from system to get control :D

Do u have an idea what happened here?

[Sagrido]

How's this update coming along, is 1.04.11 done anytime soon?

[PnCIa]

There is a bug that i have since upgrading to .10...hitting zombies does not make any sound. The impact sound on the zombie and the "kill sound" that plays sometimes is missing.
No other creature or NPC seems to be affected by this.

[zandr]

Sorry for very late answers, comrades.

This new type of cheats may increase lags (especially "show 12345678"), but does not cause any critical problem on my PC. So for now I have no ideas how to fix that.

I don't know that, sorry. Maybe few weeks, maybe few months.

I know about it, the same thing happens with ice golems. I'll try to remake this feature.

Cool :):gratz

Now...if anyone could take a couple of years off work and create a new combat system xD

[mybad]

thank you for making this, it makes the game much more fluid, i can't believe i could watch that many item pickup animations before.


I never played g3 without the community patch, so i don't know if this issue was in the original game, but whenever i disable shadows, torch and light spell dynamic shadows remain. This sucks because of the performance impact, and running with a torch in a cave is like a disco.

Would it be possible to fix this?

[George]

Would it be possible to fix this?
Yes, it is possible, though I am not sure that it will cure cure the performance issuses.
I disabled the CastShadows property in the torch and light spell templates.

Copy the content of the attached archive into the Data directory located in your Gothic 3 install folder.

you're amazing, it works! thank you very much :dup:

[Aztec2012]

Please make a worn weapons repair option. No repair is so stupid.

[zandr]

Please make a worn weapons repair option. No repair is so stupid.Probably it will be done for v1.05. Some other long-awaited features are also in progress, e.g.:

Maybe this year.

Hello @zandr I have three questions to you. The first question, is what important changes and new features will be in the final version of the Update Pack ? Two, what is the progress of the final version of Update Pack ? Three, when is the final version of the Update Pack most likely to be released ?

Thank you in advance for your replies, and I look forward to it :gratz

[zandr]

...what important changes and new features will be in the final version of the Update Pack ?
I have no ideas about "final version". I hope for further development of our project. Take part in beta-testing if you want to know more about new features on which we are currently working. This is one new screenshot for you:

Two, what is the progress of the final version of Update Pack ? Three, when is the final version of the Update Pack most likely to be released ?
Sorry, I really don't know. Maybe in 2017, but most likely in 2018. Progress grows slowly, maybe about 50% is ready.

I also hope that the project will be further developed, you are doing a good job. Is it possible to improve the combat system? I think this is the main problem of G3. And maybe some new things from Risen ?. When I have any new ideas, I'll let you know :gratz.

@zandr

What a progress ? What new features will be available in 1.05 ?

[Jogos]

@zandr where are you ? :dnuhr:

[zandr]

Sorry, comrades. There is no progress since last summer. I'll inform you when it happen. There are two screens which have not been published before:https://upload.worldofplayers.de/files10/G3_NewSavegameFormat.jpghttps://upload.worldofplayers.de/files10/G3_TradeQualityIcon.jpg

[miky miles]

@zandr: Is there any chance of releasing new UpdatePack with current features in near future? Thanks for your effort! :gratz

[Barracuss]

I would like to know if it is possible to scale the names of NPC's that appear above their heads when facing them, when play at a high screen resolution as part of the update. At the moment the names above their heads do not scale to the correct size at higher resolutions.

[Jogos]

@zandr

I was hoping that you would release a new version after the new year :(

[zandr]

I was hoping that you would release a new version after the new year :(
31.12.2017 a new Gothic 3 v1.75 Update Pack v1.04.11 released (https://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1347969-Release-Gothic-3-v1-75-Update-Pack?p=22705533&viewfull=1#post22705533).

Fixed bugs of the previous v1.04.10:- It was impossible to read more than one stone tablet from the inventory menu.
- Graphical glitches in some occasions of armors using.
- Game crash when the hero tries to smoke the joint at the campfire without interaction points nearby.
- When falling into a knockdown damage receiving is possible again, however the falling can't be interrupted.
- The hero could move when approaching and exiting the interaction mode with alchemist's bench, cooking pot, tree felling and repairing.
- The messages about received items, when pressing the "Take all" button or trading, could be displayed in the order inconsistent to the items sorting.
- A pierce attack with a blunt weapon could knock the opponent off his feet.
- Now (when using the "show 1" cheat), NPC' body names are displayed in brown as well as armors.
