Unofficial Revival SP modification 4.1

[Kikina the templar]

Hello.
This weapon is really only for newbies - its low level atefact without possibility of upgrade it. I think so revival no  need classic "god mode", players on high level (all three faction) can kill all bosses in game without problems...
For editing items you need some experience with Reanimator. Working with the reanimator is always quite complicated.

Alright then. It's not that I have problems with the game, I played through it on elite/nightmare enough, but sometimes messing with god mode is fun, and there aren't any rings and trinkets whatsoever in the early-mid game so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if that gun can be swapped to a ring with the same effects by editing a .txt in the mod archive. Anyway, thanks for continuous work on this mod.

G'Day Sir!

2 problems: uloz.to is not accessible from german IP's and the mega.up download results again in this very suspicious EXE file that installs.....something.

Can you have a look at the download links?

[Kikina the templar]

Resolved via Discord chat.

For others people:
How download Revival from MEGA.UP - after click on link, main screen appears with time limit. Click once to screen and close pop up window. Then wait to timelimit  ends. Click on download button, close pop up window. Click again on download button and close pop up window again. Third click on download button is link to rar file with Revival.

Link to Google drive was added to start of topic, thanks to Frickeladmin

Hello 

Revival cannot be installed on Steam version of Hellgate, only game client from 2007 year is supported.
If you have original client and both patches (SP + MP) installed properly, try run mod installer like a administrator - on some systems is it necessary.

[Elsevier]

Steam version is bugged, heavily cut and completely incompatible with mods for proper versions. Jury rigging it is possible, but you'd need some know-how about Hellgate modding, and obviously it wouldn't run as smooth. General advice - avoid Steam versions.

HELLGATE.London-PLAZA and HGL.Multi8.LossyRepack

Those sound like pirate versions of the game. And judging from that "lossy" thing, not identical to official version.

1. Get a clean non-Steam version. Install it.
2. Download and install patches SP 1.6 and MP 2.0.
3. Run both single-player and multi-player game once.
4. Run Revival launcher and install the mod.

As Kikina says all must be done with admin privileges, but I think your problem is using Steam/pirate versions and, perhaps, not running both MP and SP games before installing the mod.

Greetings.

I'm trying to hunt for top-tier helmets that are supposed to drop from Moloch, and I get none. The side areas around St. Paul station do not produce hellrifts at all, so I'm running between that station and Liverpool Street, finding lv. 48 Moloch with only Seraph/Cybernet/Feral sets. For what I know, the requirement for these helmets is killing Moloch at lv. 44+. Any advice?

The current version installed is 3.9, and I have found these helmets previously, in 3.5 or so.

Hello. 
Apparently you're just not lucky.
If you're talking about Veiled Threat/Eyes of the Maverick/Face of the Crusader, in v4.1 of Revival have Molly 20% chance to drop one of them on kill, regardless of level. All three helmets can drop from normal mobs (with very little chance) from level 48, and can appears at merchants.
Helmets was added to Revival in version 3.2 (after switching to new player 3D model) and drop chance is unchanged in all subsequent versions.

[Antediluvian]

Those are part of the aforementioned Moloch sets that drop even in NG. What I'm looking for is Viz Guard for Hunt, some Sydonai-looking helm for Cabal, and (Seraph) helm for Temple. I believe there was a picture marked "Hellgate Global armor" for those, with a note saying "lv. 44+".
To clarify: is hellrift spawn possible within the last 4 side areas around St. Paul station?

One more thing: the last version's changelog mentions Russian localization of makeshift quality. I'm a native speaker, and I volunteer to help translating in-game texts. I need to know the total amount of text in words to assess the time required. Also, some details need to be settled, like whether or not to translate unique gear names. Interested?

[Kikina the templar]

Dark Visage/Techa VizGuard/Angelic Visage is part of Abyss "uber" armor (from test center MP patch). From Revival patch 3.1 can be looted from Moloch.
Excerpt from patch notes:
"- Moloch now can drop Abyss "uber" set armor with original look. 100% chance on kill, one from 7 pieces per class, always for current class only. All pieces have same chance for drop. Armor can have legendary, double-edged, mythic or unique quality. Level of armor is not fixed, depends on Moloch level. Uniques have same affixes like armor from Vitava"
Vitava can drop same armor with other skin. Third option is loot from Berial - armor from Berial have few modifications (splash damage on each piece) and skin from Hellgate Global "red" armor set. This skin have 3D model from old Hellgate, new is only textures. Armor set with properties from Hellgate Global is not in the Revival.

Chance on hellrift - Church yard, Paternoster Row, Cheapside and Little Britain have 15% on spawn, hellrift cannot appear on West Smithfield.

About translation - any help is always welcome. Attached are all three localization files for Revival. Files have a unicode text format. If you want, its possible to change all the texts into quotation marks in russian version. You will need a text editor that will also show you invisible characters (tabs, ending lines ...). These characters form the file format and cant never be changed, otherwise the file will stop working. Also be aware of the two types of so-called "soft spaces" that are found mainly in flavor texts and through which new rows begin.
Do not change line names ("stringid") and control characters (singular, default, [string1] ...)
Unfortunately, the final text can only be checked in the game itself.
Any questions post here, or write to me directly.

Hello,
I wanted to thank you very much for this very nice job that you propose, it's amazing! So amazing that I have refunded my Steam version to have fun on a game more complete and less buggy than the original!
I would like to know if we can hope for a French version of the game later, or not!
Again, thank you to those who offer us a good game, and excuse in advance my very average English that googole translation offers me!

[Kikina the templar]

Thank you 

Currently, the proofreading of Russian is almost finished, but no other language version is, unfortunately, under way.
It is very difficult to create a working translation file, not so much for translation but for working with the file format.To work, a volunteer is required, who is able to program at least a bit and also speaks two languages.
We'll see, maybe someone will be found in the future...

[ocb5lim]

Hello Kikina the templar, thank you for the return, good luck on the work of revival and see you soon!

[Antediluvian]

As someone who's had a glimpse of Hellgate text strings, I can confirm that the problem of translation lies mostly with figuring out which line is bugged, and knowing why it's bugged is not always possible: sometimes identical edits (even as trivial as switching lower/upper case) made in different or same editors are accepted only after a couple of attempts. The process is not complicated – it's tedious and repetitive (verging on frustrating sometimes), so a lot of patience is required.
