Gothic 3 - CP 1.7 Countdown - #3 and #2

by Dhruin, 2009-03-20 11:20:41

Ooh, getting close now. The Gothic 3 Community Patch v1.7 countdown thread at World of Gothic has two new additions.  Number three sees a sample from the changelog:

[Extract]Savegames
+ To reduce errors when loading and saving savegames, the game will check if enough RAM is free. Otherwise loading/saving will be refused.
+ To reduce savegame errors, a temporary savegame is used to save data, and then the desired savegame will be overwritten.
+ Separation of the savegames (CP 1.70 without alternative balancing / CP 1.70 with alternative balancing / before CP 1.70).
+ The savegame number is displayed in the load and save menu.
- Exploit by quicksave while reading a stone tablet resolved.
- Defective savegames with a size of 0 Byte can't be loaded.
- Quickload key deactivated while talking to or trading with a NPC.

[Extract]Items
- The recipe for antidote has a new composition.
- Recipes for poison and special arrows revised.
- Gold value for special arrows revised.

[Exctract]Mixed Topics
- "One hit kill bug" during large battles fxed.
- Respawn reactivated and corrected.
+ “Take all” to plunder NPCs and chests works by pressing a key (Default: “Z”).
+ The spell "Transfer disease" now has an effect on NPCs: It will slow down their combat moves.
+ Crossbar added to window near Karrypto.
- The hero's shadow is not headless anymore in first person mode.
- Stamina exploit when sprinting while looking back removed.

[Exctract]Framework
- Menu bar in marvin mode is available again.
- Mouse pointer in marvin mode can be moved under Vista 64.
+ VSync can be (de-)activated via the video menu. (Only works when VSync is selected as "controlled by application" in the driver's menu.)
- VSync does not slow down the loading of savegames anymore.

...and #2 is a manual for modders:

This time we have something for the modders. The following small manual explains some small inventions we implemented for you. We hope that they'll be useful.
Chapter 2 contains technical information about two new aspects that regards potentially every player.

As you see, this countdown turns out to be more technical.

Grab the manual here or head over.

Thanks, Kostaz!
