[Metathron]

Thank you so much, spamm! I'll get those as soon as I'm done downloading the game! :grin:

[DGDobrev]

Great work :) The interface mod (especially) is extremely useful. I also saw that you were one of the co-authors of the KBTL fan-based guide. Great work there as well.

[Zhuangzi]

spamm, we need to create a mods directory in the data folder? I am asking this because previously I had the camera mod file in the data directory and it did work from there.

[Metathron]

I created it, and all three mods are working fine.

(Though I do remember someone saying to move mods to your data folder, so perhaps it doesn't matter?)

[Kosiciel]

Works perfectly. Thanks a lot, spamm!

Thanks. Your interface mod is excellent. I really like it. Anyone who hasn't got this yet, should. :)

Camera mod very useful, thanks.

[Mandea]

not quite a mod, but a very useful thing:
http://www.aurelain.ro/HeroScreen/
it's not made by me, but by Aurelain. he also did a skillwheel for HOMM 5.
you can see many useful things with it, regarding AP.

[spamm]

http://www.aurelain.ro/HeroScreen/
Amazing!
Aurelain again peerless!

[Harakiri]

is there a respec mod? to redistribute your skill trees?

[blueshrike]

Echo nice work!

Both interface and bounty mods seem to work for me but the camera mod didn't... it's sitting there with the others but I noticed no change.

Maybe I'm using it wrong? In KB:TL the camera mod worked by just scrolling out with the mouse wheel to a large distance.

Thanks!

Really, any workarounds for this? Seems strange and I have a lot of game left...

If its the same as the russian version, you just need to go to another area, like another island.

Also, some of the russian mods work on the english version.

[blueshrike]

I seem to have found my own workaround!
Enter a dungeon with the mod installed and the mod works. For me it was the dungeon in Montero. Then exit and you should from then on have a full range camera, without having to start a new game.

[Mandea]

What exaclty is that screen supposed to improve? :confused:

your knowledge about characters (armor bearers), about items and about skills. I guess you've noticed that you can click in certain places and you get certain screens with info.
it is very useful.

Not exactly peerless, but indeed, this is a great tool. The only problem it has is that KBAP has a general level cap at 60, not at 31... Heroes can also go over lvl 60, but that is not viable and it can't be done.

[Mandea]

I know, I already talked to Aurelain. I also telled him about medals and about pet dragon, who are missing right now. I will keep you informed.

[iycgtptyarvg]

Spamm... you are totally awesome!

This is HIGHLY appreciated!

[01neo01]

Great mods !!

Just a question: I installed some of them, and suddenly some letters in the game appeared in russian (i have the spanish version). Letters like "é", "ó"... which seems not to exist in russian. The thing is that i have moved the mod folder out off the data folder... and the problem keeps.
When you run a mod, ¿is it saved in the saved game configuration?
It's the only explanation i find to the theme that when you remove a mod the effects perdure.

[wargamerjack]

Any chance of font increase...thanks

[stubbie]

The camera mod doesnt work with ver 1.3 :(

please could the author of this mod fix it? :|

[iycgtptyarvg]

It would be great if all the mods could be converted to be compatible with Crossworlds.

Alot of mods already are, like the camera mod etc..

Just put them in the right folder ( orcs/mods ) and it should work fine:)

yeah you are right! Somehow i didnt realise there is a session folder. lol

i thought right place for mod is the "\data\mods" folder... should've known that... shame for me

im gonna try this, thanx :)

[iycgtptyarvg]

I noticed the camera mod worked, but the others I'm not sure about.
Anyone have a definitive answer?

[TheOne]

Quiet a few of the mods of KBAP work with Crossworlds. An easy way to find mod compatibility is to check Kings Bounty Armored Princess\sessions\orcs\orcs.kfs... If the contents of the mod file are not in this "archive" then you can safely use the mod.

For ex. camera mod works fine but extra runes mod won't unless you manually edit. Some of the mods like mana regen don't work even after editing.



In short, if the files in the mod and orcs.kfs are not same, then the mod SHOULD work, else the mod will require editing to avoid issues.

[bmcelvan]

I cannot get any mods to work including the camera. I purchased CW from amazon.com and installed it that way. I just started the program and created a new game of AP, after the cut scene it has me in the main debir sqaure at a zoom level and I saved the game and closed the program. I put the mod_a12_eng_camera01.kfs file into the sessions\orcs\mods folder. I restarted the program and then opened the saved game and cannot zoom out any further (like I used to be able to in the reg AP program) and then also started a new game again and it has the same zoom level - am I doing something wrong? Does it have to be the "Steam" version of the game? Help

thanks

[KNK]

it's possible that someone make a mod that forces the game (new game) to give all the items in that current game,because i bellive the game doesn't gives all the items and is just too bad whan you want to make a certainly hero with specific gear and the game do not allowed it,and i dont see this as a cheat

[Fatt_Shade]

I`m not sure where to ask this. Cant find topic about map editor for Crossworlds.
But is it posible to make mod where you play demon hero conquering Teana world ? To try to be a bad guy once in while :-)

[Boozie]

So I can't find an English version of the "Army Shop" mod which I desperately want so I am taking it upon myself to make one. I figure I can take the mod from KB TL and modify as needed.

First question: how the hell do I open the kfs file? Everything I try just gives me garbage characters.

Also taking any other pointers/tips people may have for me.

The KFS files are basically archives; open them with WinRAR, 7zip, etc.
Inside, you'll find various other types of files.

TXT files are easy enough, open with any text editor such as notepad. They're usually simple configuration scripts and such. LUA files are also text files that can be opened, but of course they're written in LUA code. Again, easy enough to decipher as it's just like any other basic programming code.
LNG files are another type of text file, and these normally contain descriptions of things in the game.

So far those are the only files I've really played around with. For more in-depth modding, you may need to access the ACT, QST, HERO, CHAT, etc. files which are compiled files that must be decompiled before you can work with them. I've heard people having success using hex editors on them, but it's easier to use the KB DB EDIT program (find it in the savegame scanner thread) to decompile those files, make your changes, and use it to recompile the files.

That's all I've got right now; hope that helps.

[Boozie]

Certainly a good start. Thanks.

[Boozie]

So where can I get the "Master Mod" that I keep reading about? I am having no luck finding it.

This is a late reply, but... the newer Versions of the game don't work with that camera mod anymore.

Unfortunately nobody has made a new one.
And 1C hasn't listened to our cries for a better camera for more than 3 years now, so we're shit out of luck.

Oh god thank you!! I've been reading all these forums complaining about the camera, and praising the camera mod, but whatever I do I cannot seem to make it work. Turns out it is outdated :( I hope someone makes one soon! How long ago did the last version of the game come out?

According to Steam the last (major) update to Crossworlds was on December 23rd 2010.

I mean the game itself runs good etc. and doesn't really have any problems. It's just the damn camera zoom on the overworld map that is annoying me.

[1darklord]

It works fine on Crossworlds for me. I don't have the Steam version though.

[grimeleven]

Late reply but someone updated the mod to work with CW, some of you use the wrong file for camera mod, mod_a12_eng_camera01.kfs is for Armored Princess, you need mod_cw13_orcs_eng_camera.kfs from http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?p=189400. It works for me also with Red Sands.

Doesn't work for me.
Does it work for you if you play the AP campaign via Crossworlds ?

It does work if I start the Orks campaign though...

EDIT:
So is it possible to import an AP savegame (that I can play via CW) into the Ork campaign ?

Why didnt you play CW? I dont see the point of playing AP instead of CW. Is there any interesting thing in AP and CW cannot provide :confused:

Obviously because I bought AP when it came out and started my campaign then...

Typically you have to restart the campaign for mods to work.

What are you talking about ?
For the camera mod all you have to do is switching zones.

[1darklord]

Like I said for many mods you will need to restart the campaign for them to work, I have no idea if that applies to the camera mod or not.

What exactly is your question?

I just browsed my previous system files and found it! 4 working mods, incl. camera! I'm sharing with all who still wanna play this great game!

[Balin69]

Only the camera mod is for Armored Princess, the other 3 are for Crossworlds expansion and I'm not sure if they'll work on the original game.

All in all, thank you!

[JaffarVN]

All the mods work fine in AP, though their names are a little confusing.

Thanks for the re-up Say10.

Try my new huge mod, The Trent War, with a new story, quests, maps etc:

A tester Erkilmarl who played it thru to the end wrote:
So, now I’ve played the new mod through. I think it is so ready as a game that there isn’t much to say about any changes apart from the details I’ve mentioned. It is a tough game, even at normal level, which corresponds to about hard level in the original game. I did do most of the final island, but perhaps there the difficulty step upwards may be too much at hard and impossible levels.

Landscape building is very good, I didn’t get anywhere above ground the feeling that I had seen this before in the original game, except perhaps for the final island, which was built from the same material as the lizardfolk island in the original. Already in Crossworlds it was the island I liked least. Hopland was familiar to me from another mod, but it has ideas and features that Katauri never used.

The mod is relatively short, which is a good thing, since KB games are long. I’ve played them for hundreds of hours, but I rarely play to the end after I’ve once seen that it is possible. Years ago, there was the talk that WoTN isn’t as good as Crossworlds and that Darkside was even worse. It is a pity that we now have a new and fresh game made from the Crossworlds material, Trent War, that is as good as the Crossworlds was, but nobody seems to care.

Hi All,

Is anyone still playing CW? Do you know if there are ways to adapt the camera mod (or other mods) to the latest GOG version?
