[CLASS] "Valkyrie II" Mod

[enemantik]

... I'm getting ready to try giving her some new skills, so feedback from other users would be really great!

I have had a couple of skill ideas for the Vanquisher in my mind ever since I started playing Torchlight, all of them revolving around and focused on one single, rather controversial activity. It would require some serious modding, and I am not sure if the finished product would be generally approved/understood by the community. But no, there would be no nudity or sex (in the strict sense of the word) involved. Absolutely not. Anyway, thanks again to you and other guys around, who keep on making new mods for Torchlight SP. Your work is really appreciated.

Doing this gives me a big kick! It's my pleasure.

Hey Robcallis, I'm really gald you like the mod and thanks so much for the praise!

If you think of any ways that the mod could be improved, please tell me about it. I'm getting ready to try giving her some new skills, so feedback from other users would be really great!

No problem, it is a really nice class. She looks awesome in the Valkyrie armors. I have to figure out the posting pic thing and I will have some up.

Makes an internal clean-up so that the character creation screen draws the valkyrie icons from a new icon imageset in the mod/UI/itemicons folder.

This change is supposed to make it easier to combine this mod on a single character creation screen with other custom class characters.

Other than this, version 0.3 makes no gameplay changes to the mod.

Pls use the DL link in the original post. Thanks!

I can't download the class from the link you gave. I think the link on the fan site is false.

[Phanjam]

Hi Genesis003 and thanks for checking out the Valkyrie II mod!
That DL link on the RGF page was pointing to fileden.com as the file-host and I've been meaning to change it so that the file is stored on RGF itself.
I went ahead and did that, so could you please try downloading from the RGF page again. It should DL just fine for you now but let me know if there are still any problems.
Thanks again!

[Genesis033]

Download is working fine now.

[Phanjam]

Great! Hope you enjoy it.
Time permitting, I still plan to tweak the mod. I kinda feel that the Destroyer skill set she uses, while fine for the male Destroyer, is kinda 'off' for a female character
If you get any tweaking ideas while playing the mod, I'm happy to listen!

Oh I'm not using Windows 7 (I'm on XP) so the first thing I will do is call out to anyone else running Windows 7!

Are there any Win7 users who have been able to run Valkyrie II mod with/without problems?

Windows 7 x64 bit

It runs decently for me, PM me any specific behavior you want me to look for though, I honestly just started using this mod today

[Akura]

Valkyrie armors??? I have yet to find any. Are there rare?

Thanks so much Cirathorn! For now could you help us by
1) describing the directory structure in Windows 7 to get to the TL mods folder?
2) How does one do a "mod cache clear" in Windows 7?
Thanks much again!

"Valkyrie armor" is a set of armors for the Vanquisher class. You will encounter them in the later stages of the game (like level 40 and up). There are also "rare" versions of this armor.

1) The mods are located here: [install drive]:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\runic games\torchlight\mods
This location holds true across multiple logins, and versions of Win 7. I installed TL on my laptop, and 3 other machines to verify, and 2 other login ID/ User names

2) not sure what you mean by Mod Cache clear, I am new to Modding TL by about 2 days. Gimme a hint of what you need though and I will get it for you.

Thanks so much Cirathorn!

2) not sure what you mean by Mod Cache clear

Clearing the mod cache is just removing all the .ADM files which the game engine makes when compiling all your mods upon game-start. It can be "automated" by using a batch (.bat) file, but I don't know if Win7 allows .bat files to run or not.

You've been very helpful, thanks much! I'll look up "mod cache clearing under Win7" elsewhere on this forum or on RGF.

Hi Bebetoc. I'm trying to use the same mods as you to see if it's a mod conflict. When you say "Dragon" mod, what is the exact name of that mod please?

Win 7 does allow BAT files to run, that I know for a fact.

Thanks Cirathorn! So maybe the batch file for other windows OS's can work on Win7 too...

Bebetoc, please make a batch file with the following contents...

Code: Select all

REM Remove all the compiled mod files
del "..\..\*.adm" /Q/F/S
del "..\..\*.cmp" /Q/F/S

REM Remove the aggregate mod files
del "..\..\massfile.dat" /F
del "..\..\masterresourceunits.dat" /F


You can just copy the code above, paste it into wordpad then save it with any name you want, as long as it has the .bat extension. Put the file into your Win7 torchlight folder (not the mods folder) at...
[install drive]:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\runic games\torchlight\
and run it.

It should delete all .ADM and .CMP files in the directory where it is and in all the sub-directories too. In addition it should also delete the aggregate mod files massfile.dat and masterresourceunits.dat. But I've found that it doesn't always do that, so you may have to delete those manually. When that's all done your mod cache is cleared

Then try running the game again. It might still crash anytime from just before the character creation screen, to right after you create the new character. If it does crash, run the game again but this time without clearing the mod cache. It should run smoothly from then on (or until the next time you do a cache-clear again )

I tested this out this morning, and it worked for me, but could not find the *.adm files.
