Welcome to "Unofficial Revival" patch version 3.5"My heart stays in Hellgate."
Kikina the templar
If you like Hellgate and want to remember a bit of old times, this mod is the best solution for you. Contains elements from many versions of the game, while maintaining the original gameplay.
Mod retains original skills, quests and monsters, but adds some things from early game concept (for example using implants), original online game (pets, dye kits, events..), game from test servers (new weapons, rings, many types of monsters), korean Hellgate Global (bosses, weapons) and ideas of members the Hellgateaus community (expanded stash, better monsters info, cheats..).

3.5 Patch Notes---------------
- in game is new mini level - West Smithfield. You can enter to this level from St. Paul station, through Cheapside and Little Britain.Inside waiting for you a visitor from far away Tokyo - boss Glutton Kurodon.
Kurodon brought some of his old acquaintances too - Centaurs, Death meats and Rock demons.All monsters in West Smithfield have always same experience level like a player. Kurodon using original AI, but no have original skills.
- boss Kurodon have chance (100% on kill) on drop one piece of armor from new Kurodon's "miniset". This miniset consists of three parts - unique boots, pants and belt. Each piece exist in six variants, for all professions. Most of this armor pieces have unique skin from Hellgate Global. Armor no have fixed itemlevel.
- new pet buffs: every common pet in game now gives while summoning one stat buff for player. After summoning you can recall the pet, buff is permanent, disappearing only while dying or unlog from game.
Pet buff is stackable with other type buffs (fawkes, halloween, winter holiday, xp), but only one buff is allowed - summoning another pet only swapping buffs between themselves.
Lets recapitulate all pets in game:
Mantawraith - common, all bosses drop, increase health points
Mantawraith FSS - common, all bosses drop, increase health regeneration
Cocomoko - common, all bosses drop, increase mana points
Cocomoko Korea - common, all bosses drop, increase mana regeneration
Fester Festivus - common, reward from winter holiday quest, increase armor
Zombot - common, from halloween blueprint drop, increase shield regeneration
Ancient Clam - common, all bosses drop, increase critical chance
Arachnus - common, Rashaverak drop, increase critical damage
Nautilus - unique, Desiccator drop, healing pet, no buff
Revenant - unique, Desiccator drop, battle pet, no buff
Juggernaut - unique, Desiccator drop, battle pet, no buff
- some pets now have new, good-looking icons
- on some items (egg, cryptex, IOU note..) now should not be a meaningless inscription "cannot trade" (newly generated items only)
- Rashaverak now give one cryptex per kill (chance for other items is with this slightly increased)
- due to problems with monters respawn is all wanted quests from Winter holiday event now repeatable only after relog to game.
- in the recipes for Vitava and Dreadnaught rings in cube was swapped requirements for essences. Newly generated rings have also swapped type of thorns damage (Vitava is spectral, so his rings have spectral thorns and using spectral essences).
- Stonehenge helmets now have same colors like in online game and uniques now keep this colors after identification
---After a long and exhausting struggle, i finally managed to run Kurodon's "miniset" with original 3D models which i found in client of Hellgate Global. Models now working correctly on 32 and 64bit PC, in low and high resolutions, but it was necessary to make some compromises.
Koreans made this armor sets only for one resolution (medium). At the low resolutions they changed these sets to a totally different skin. Now armor pieces working like other common armor in game. So, at high resolutions you will notice that the detail level is lower and at low resolution higher than the other armor in game.
Original koreans armor is for old 3D model of player, so just miniset, with new model is compatible only bottom of character. Unfortunately i found out that belts is compatible only for female characters. For the male characters, which, in the course of a run, lean forward a little, old belt models can not be used.
So, for male characters in all professions is now used spare model (tech_light).
3D model for male guardians boots was damaged, for this boots is now used skin from blademaster boots.
Essentially, if you find any other problems with this armor skins, write about it here. It will always be possible to deactivate them and replace them with some common skin from the game.
Mod is now much larger than before and can not be distributed via Hellgateaus site.
