I'm Not sure...

But it may have been added when I patched to 2.31.0.0

Or It could have been added because I altered one of the other .txt files

Or because I had added a mod to re-colour My Seraphim's Hair to a Nice Bluish-Whitish Colour
Which Meant I had to unzip

>D:\Program Files\cdv Software Entertainment USA\Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel\pak\graphics02\mq\maps\heroes\seraphim

Then change the hair files and then re-zip the graphics02 folder back to its half original state
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heres two images on what my seraphim's hair looks like...

Ok just want to say in advance: Sorry that I have double posted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But I have a question...

What values do I change in the balance file so that I can zoom IN more than the default settings?

And then there's the opposite question...

What values do I change in the balance file so that I can zoom OUT more than the default settings?


According to the Official Sacred2 Forums "SomeOne" was asking a similar question to this:

quote Start - Zsheezor

In addition, you can further customize your camera options by creating an 'optionsCustom.txt' file.

Paste this in the blank text file:

camera = {
cam1_trackdist_max = 2000,
cam1_trackdist_min = 100,
cam1_rotx_min = -0.05,
cam2_trackdist_max = 2000,
cam2_trackdist_min = 100,
cam2_rotx_min = -0.05,
cam_autorot_speed = 4.0,
cam_autozoom_max = 2000,
cam_autozoom_min = 100,
cam_autozoom_speed = 8,
heromenu_trackdist_max = 1200,
heromenu_trackdist_min = 100
}


Be aware that you will need to use your middle mouse key to move the mouse up and down once you log back into the game. By default the camera loads first at 'ground zero'.

In XP (not sure where in Vista) you will want to make your optionsCustom.txt file here:
'C:\Documents and Settings\Zsheezor\Local Settings\Application Data\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2\optionsCustom.txt'

Hope this helps,

But im not looking to make a optionsCustom.txt

Any help?

sweet site good thing i checked back before messing around with that other file you posted up .. oh and about that camera thing i think the only way you can tweak that is by making a optioncustom.txt i seen nothing in the balancetxt that could tweak it. i gonna do some search on the web see if anything comes up.....well i came across that post on the official forums, then i came across another one


forum.sacredeng.ascaron-net.com/showthread.php?t=49772

on the second page theres a post about a tool you can use to change the angles with out messing with the option txt.
but heres the kick its all in germen
so yeah kinda helpful
heres the download link
clubs.4gamers.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=218

i copied and pasted it in goolge to get it translated, didnt really give anything really usefull just how to install it... guess gotta do some messing around. some trail and error

well hope this helps abit.

Awww Mannnnnnn *Bursts into flames and then turns to ash*

I know while I was going through the txt's I saw something that had to do with camera angles, I'll post again If I find anything of use!!

Meh wth.. going with optionsCustom.txt method

[Edited by AngelSkye, 12/10/2008 12:25:15 AM]

lol.. yeah seems like the more safer route to take..maybe they'll make a english version because when i translated it at the very top it said "Help wanted" to make different languages of the tool and i remeber seeing english on the list. maybe.

Well, not counting the unzipped files, which other .txt files have you edited, if any.

Those 2 lines are not on my balance file and I have patched to 2.31.

I don't know if the balance file is edited when you patch, but mine was not touched.

[Edited by H3L10S, 12/10/2008 6:17:00 AM]

Well Im going to do this list in order, I edited:

C:\Documents and Settings\VampElf\My Documents\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2

Most people dont know this but u can edit the hero##.sacred2stats files

They contain all the info about your charecters!!! (Yes I tryed to edit one of mine, I tryed to edit my survival bonus percentage and my gold to see if they would change ingame) I dont know if it worked or not though )

D:\Program Files\cdv Software Entertainment USA\Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel\scripts\server

balance.txt
Duhhhh...

D:\Program Files\cdv Software Entertainment USA\Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel\pak

The Grapics02.Zip
The original Size was: 2,050,198 KB 1.95 GB
The NEW Size is: 2,050,195 KB 1.95 GB

D:\Program Files\cdv Software Entertainment USA\Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel\scripts\shared

itemtype.txt
(all i did was copy and paste some lines from this to a new txt file so no editing, this is where i discoverd the new sera hairstyle!!)

creatureinfo.txt
I edited the seraphim lines of hairstyles then changed them back because i thought they were causing problems in loading up a new seraphim charecter...

C:\Documents and Settings\VampElf\Local Settings\Application Data\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2

Created optionsCustom.txt

Yeahhh Thats alot of files, and my sacred 2 still runs like I installed it yesterday

I have tried to edit the hero stats file in the past.

It doesn't show all the correct info, and it doesn't seem to work either.

I think i'll try to edit one thing at a time and see which works, I think the save file will have to be edited as well.

What did you do with the itemtype.txt file.

And something I discovered, if you edit the lines below, not quite sure what the second one does, in the balance.txt file you can change the area of effect of certain combat arts.

RangeArea = 200
RangeNear = 45

I tried it while using a seraphim and the revered technology art flaring nova had a massive range.

It might effect the enemy as well though, I haven't come accross one using a similar area effect attack yet.
