Hi, I'm Chris Smile

I am currently making a big mod for this game, and will be making many changes to the game. These changes mostly revolve around challenge, balance, and variety. Key features of this mod include:

- New enemies. With old one's being changed as well as entirely new ones being added.
- New weapons and armour. Which you can find in a variety of ways, editing a few old ones and adding new ones.
- Landscape edits. Nothing massive, just many slight modifications to existing game worlds.
- Misc. Lots of other little updates such as house prices, removal of experience orbs, edited health and mana bars, different effects for potions.
- New music. Improved music in areas that don't have suitable music. (Don't worry, all new music will sound perfect for this game, There will be no slipknot/eminem or whatever in my mod ;D)

I will be changing the game in order, so at the moment I am working on greatwood, then I will work on darkwood etc.


I can pretty much do most of what I need to do myself, but help would be greatly appreciated, and would improve the quality of this mod. These mostly include new models, weapons and armours, as well as little problems people have resolved in the past.

I will make a seperate topic for screenshots (hopefully, with a mod's permission, that only I can post in for easier browsing), where you can find visual changes to the game.


Thanks for reading, hope you keep updated on my mod as I make changes Smile

landscape edits are impossible (not quite, but we can't do it, just take my word for it), and I doubt you'll be able to change the health/mana bars (I believe it's an effect, and I don't know what the effect is, nor can I find the texture if it has one, and if it isn't an effect, I still can't find the texture so...)

other than that, I'd be putting all those in Fable: The New World if you would want to help me with that instead.

Besides, isn't there already a post about this mod anyway?

Aye, the best I can do so far is spawn buildings, doors, if the Hero is inside he can't see that he's walking on air.

I smell a merge coming along.

Edit: No, I don't. Other thread locked. Smile

No, it's not a duplicated map, it's an existing one, just moved.

I did a retexture of a balverine, and got this strange glitch where they look fine from a distance, but as they get close to the screen they get all different colours on them (they are supposed to just be black and red). Does anyone know anything about this? :S

Thanks.

Edit: A little more info on the problem:

If I have my new creature mesh use the original balverine texture ID's, it works fine. But, if I save the original textures (Balverine skin and hair files), then open them up again but with my new texture ID's, then I still get the problem in the picture, even if it's using the original textures. Is it something to do with how chocolate box exported the texture?

Corrupted texture. Try importing it again.

Read my edit Razz

Edit: It's strange. No matter how I try to give my balverine an imported texture, it does that, but I've had no trouble doing the exact same thing with other creatures? =/

I'm not sure if this is considered necroposting or not since it has been a few months for this topic but I am only trying to be helpful. Anyways, I think the problem with your balverines is that you may be making them too dark.. I had this same problem when retexturing the apprentice outfit to make it black and red.. The black was too dark and when I played it just showed a bunch of weird colors like in your screenshot. The way I fixed this was to lighten it up just a little bit.. enough to where it was still black but not too black.

I dunno how active this forum is because I haven't been here for a long time, but if you read this, hope it helps =P

The guy doing this as far as i know is LONG gone. Darkness in the texture makes no difference, because the texture is corrupted.

It does if the alpha is black and they are trying to make something black. If you make something too dark it could be mistakened as part of the alpha and causes this to happen. I had this happen to me multiple times because of alpha issues. Like if the alpha was blue and I was trying to make something blue it would have this problem but if I changed it to purple I had no problem. I can also tell you for a fact that the alpha color for the balverine skin texture is black, so if you were to try and make the skin solid black it would have this problem. But making it almost black it would be fine.

Alpha isn't a color, it's the amount of transparency. That's not the problem, the problem is corrupted and shoddy texture work.

1. We'd rather you only talked about what you 100% knew. I used to talk about what i didn't know and it got people into modding trouble.

2. It's pretty pointless giving a guy who left lessons Wink
