Unofficial Arcanum Patch (Original Thread)

[Tigranes]

Yeah, these seem to be some kind of Unfinished Business style mod additions. Maybe back in the day your friend had installed some shit off Terra Arcanum or whatnot?

The quests might have actually been put in as part of someone else's mod because I don't remember those quests nor do I remember seeing them in the strategy guide but given the sewers that makes sense.

I don't know. I can't remember running another application to install over the basic installation at that time. I only remember doing the old-school install, then copy-paste crack, then play with CD.

Originally they were cut content most likely. Someone put the quests in, but maybe not with this Mod.

Maybe cut content but it's hard to verify that one. I don't have a hold of my friend for decades. Or whoever helped made the game. Mod? Possible but highly unlikely. I borrowed the CD in 2001. Google says Arcanum was released in August 2001. Highly unlikely anyone could've made a mod within four months... I'm surprised that Terra Arcanum was created in 2000 but the game wasn't release until a year after.

Anyway, I'm just glad I could play this game again. Thanks Drog for the mod. Also to you guys for your patience with helping me.

Hmmm. It might have been a quest that was cut out of the original game with a new patch. A lot changed from the unpatched game to the first patch. Big time. If I recall, they all out removed some things that were part of the 'Arcanum charm' like if you were trying to sleep outside on a street the guards would wake you and tell you to move along, that they didn't like bums, etc. That wouldn't surprise me in the least, that the unpatched game has shit that the patches broke and all out removed. Troika was amazing at that type of stuff unfortunately.

I've never modded arcanum before.

Installed:
- HQ_TownMaps
- Drog's unofficial patch
- HQ_Music
- HighRes patch

Question about HQ_Music. So I downloaded the wav into the correct folder and ran Drog's renaming script. The result is this:

What about these 3 files that weren't renamed? I have a feeling the game just won't play them at all, because it's now going to search for the .wav in this folder and is not going to find them.

Any idea about that, anyone?

I hope you're still following.

As what I can remember, the game doesn't use those three music files. Instead, the game uses the movie clips which have the same music as those three albeit edited to fit the video length.

Did Drogg get conscripted?

Did Drogg get conscripted?

God help his fellow soldiers if he did, it would just be constant grumbling about "fucking kids don't know what a real war is" and "Why am I still writing patches fighting this dumb war, I've always hated it".
