Is there a reason why the graphics files aren't included in a GFX subfolder in the main archive? Normally when you have something youw ant to distribute to people, you reduce barriers to entry for its usage, i.e. make it "fail safe" -- this is called Poka Yoke.
Here though what what we have is "reverse pokayoke."
I guess it's to weed out idiots? Make things as complicated as possible to ensure only people who read your description can get it to work. That's what academics do, right? Narcissists, all of them.
Oh hi again (coming here straight from Black Market Bazaar). Well you're the very first user to voice such a complaint since 2013 and yes, I really do expect people to read a few (really a very few) lines of text before installing strange files on their computers. Anyway, your post was funny this time around so yeah, sorry for that unnecessary extra drag & drop in order to perfect installation.
- 34 additional champions for a total of 253 - All level 9 champions updated to 10 skills (just like their official counterparts) - The Amethyst Automaton gains the Uncontrolled Rage ability & the reward for defeating it is increased to 350 gold (was 250) - Fixed Yellowbelly's treasure drop by removing the Skath Fin which sometimes replaced the intended rare item (instead of getting both, you'd only get one)
I hope to upload an update sometime this weekend with some new content. The current version is 100% compatible with LH 1.6, the only difference is that level 9 champions will have one or two less skills than their official counterparts.
Now presenting Champion Bonanza compatible with Patchwork Mod.
All 219 champions have been updated to Patchwork Mod specifications with changes to stats, additional skills and equipment.
Then Webusver worked his patching magic to provide a compatible version with Demons & Wizards for those who wish to use both in the Patchwork Mod universe. Further instructions to be found within.
Pertaining to CB install instructions, running this version as a mod is probably the best way to go rather than placing each XML file in its own folder. The same rules for the "ChampionBonanzaDLC02.xml" file still apply, if you don't have the Quest Pack DLC installed then delete this file (otherwise kaboom).
It can be downloaded in the optional files section.
Once again, many thanks to Webusver/Gif77list for his great ideas and enthusiasm. The true meaning of collaboration.
- Adds 46 more champions for a total of 219. - Includes two new random events which spawn two unique monsters: Yellowbelly and the Amethyst Automaton.
I've concentrated mostly on expanding the lower levels (1, 3 and 5) in this update. The AI players almost always reach these fame milestones so I've added variety where I thought it was most needed. 6 of the new champions have features from the Quest Pack DLC and come in a separate file to be used only if you have the aforementioned DLC installed. Otherwise strange and spooky things might happen. The random events are completely optional seeing as you might not care for two extra "I will be cautious of this creature's passing" type of monsters. If you don't want them (but you do don't you?), simply don't install the BonanzaEvents file.
I'm afraid there's no working around the random two champions per fame milestone. I could be wrong but I think this stuff is hard-coded. The only suggestion I have is to edit the ChampionBonanza file and remove the champions you don't care for in order to increase the likelihood to get the ones you're interested in. But wouldn't that be virtual murder?.
Hellions1 i like this mod this is probably a dumb question but is it possible change this mod so i can pick my preferred hero out of all the available ones of that fame level and not just have a choice of two. for example i have a save just before i get enough fame for a new hero so i can reload it and see the various hero's available but it is very inefficient.
thanks ether way and i look forward to the next update.
