One question, we install "Item Revisons" at two places in an installation order; the main components very early and the global changes later. Should we install "Cursed Items Revision" before or after the global changes of "Item Revisions"? What is your recommendation?

Greetings Leomar


It doesn't really matter. smile.gif

Since the mod overwrites item descriptions, it should be installed before things that patch those descriptions (like certain IR and Tweak Pack components).

Salk, you have a couple choices for dealing with IR's main component if you want to make the mods compatible:
  1. Take into account abilities that have been changed by IR when you adjust items
  2. Override IR's cursed items with yours by overwriting the .itm files instead of patching them
Deciding between the two will depend on whether or not you want your mod to behave differently when IR is installed.
Ironically the "problem" is that Salk's mod doesn't overwrite. If it did compatibility would be as easy as installing it after IR, just like Mike suggests. I'm not sure he can go for "take into account abilities that have been changed by IR", but there's a third "solution": we include a check within V3 which makes IR not touch cursed items if his mod is detected.

I don't know which solution is better, though I would have preferred Salk to overwrite IR.

Since I am not the coder, I cannot really work out an elegant solution here.

So version 3.4 (I have just emailed Baronius with it) will reintroduce the suggested workaround that has been there since the first version.

I am sorry I cannot do better.

Whoa, whoa, one overwriting mod is suggesting another mod should overwrite *it*? What's the modding world come to? I'm lost.

Well, if you wish to patch and get the original result, you have got to patch the original content and thus overwrite it, or make an exception and not patch at all... in this case the IR should offer to do both... as it's the larger mod if it wishes to be 'compatible', while this mod is specialized... yeah, all the mods today would need more components.

Version 3.5 will be soon available for download from The Dragon's Hoard.

I've corrected a couple of small typos and added a russian translation.

But what does this mod actually do? Where's the ReadMe? N.B. I don't want to have to download the mod just to read the ReadMe.

Sorry for the late reply.

The readme is in the archive.

I expect interested people to be willing to bear the burden of downloading a 1Mb mod in order to find out.

After a long time, I will update this modification to finally become fully compatible with Item Revisions (overriding its changes where necessary) so that the user won't have to meddle with manually meddling with files.

Just thought I would ask to about how this would react to BGEEV2.3 +SoD.
Has it been tested by anyone to see what happens before I tried myself.
Thanks

Version 4.0 should most likely work for EET too?
Edit: Although the mod does not provide EET compatibility I love how you handled the installation by preventing player form installing Cursed Items Revision on EET so the plays avoids the issues. smile.gif
