Unofficial Revival SP modification 4.4 (english)

[Kaganari]

Hi.

Trying to install mod with options and getting the error
"Error: Value cannot be null
Parameter name: value"

What this could be about?
If I leave options by default (so first 3), it installs correctly. Same with "Expanded Storage Mod". But when adding, for example, "WOW item inventory size", I'm getting this error. And this is not the only one resulting in this error, I'm still trying to figure out which options are safe, just taking a long time.

2007 year copy of the game, not the current Steam one. SP 1.2 and MP 2.0 patches are installed, started the game with patches, then starting to install the mod, so everything according to instructions.

Thanks in advance)

UPD: There is another error. Tried "Faction Combined" option with only the default ones (so first 3 and this), and getting "Error: The given key was not present in the dictionary". I feel like I'm missing something obvious. but...
UPD2: Found more substantial problem. Even if installed successfully, when I'm clicking "Single player" in the game menu, for a second there is a loading screen and then it crashes.
I tried the 1.5b release and it works, so it's some interaction with this version.

Unfortunately, i can't say exactly what the problem might be, but i know from experience that almost all errors that show "Value cannot be null" have something to do with a bad game installation. Sometimes can help revert mod from the launcher, start once again both SP and MP clients and finally re-install the mod.
Expanded storage, WOW item inventory size and Faction Combined are quite problematic functions, errors mainly occur due to incompatibility of gamesave files. Try after instaling mod delete whole folder with gamesettings and saves (documents/my games/Hellgate) and "clear" gamestart.

Hi All,

I've successfully installed the mod, but when I try to "unleash hell" all I get is a black screen. Any suggestions? The issue is definitely related to running the mod, as once I revert everything the game launches fine. Wondering if it's a specific mod that I'm choosing to run, but I REALLY don't want to go through each one 1 by 1....

Ed: I think I figured it out! Needed to run the dx10 version and not the default dx9

Thanks!

new question, sorry if this information can be found elsewhere:

I activated all the special events, but there's no explanation or guide as to what any of these event items do (apart from the usable ones). Anyone have a guide or spreadsheet they can point me towards?

Ex: Soccer event, candy, zombot, etc.

Hello,
i'm glad you got it running. 
You can find a basic description of all events in the file "complete patch notes un revival mod to v4.4 .txt", which is attached to the mod package.

Hey Kikina so I was wondering is it possible to change the stack sizes of all event items and consumables and then also add the event items to be auto picked up. Like Zombot blood/footballs etc. Because having to pickup every single event item one by one takes forever especially in some areas.

Is this something that is possible?

[Kikina the templar]

Stack sizes of all items can be changed using by Reanimator (table "items", parameter "stackSize").
Autopick can be changed by Reanimator (table "items", set parameter "autoPickup" in "bitmask03" to "true" and then set parameter "autoPickupDistance") or directly in the mod (file "install.xml", search for function "Auto-Pickup Quest Items" or "Auto-Pickup Consumables" and add to line with "entity id" numbers of your items).

[GeneralDelta]

I have tried using the following

<script type="optional">
         <title>Auto-Pickup Event Items</title>
         <description>Your character will automatically pickup event items when you are close enough.</description>
         <table id="items">
            <entity id="185,156,187,188,189,190,192,193,194,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,202,203,204,205,206,208,209,210,211,212,213,214,215,216,217,218,219,220,221,222,223,224,234,240,242,243,244,1822,1823,1824,1825,1826,1827,1828,1829,1830,1931,1932,1933,1934,1935,1936">
               <attribute id="bitmask03" bit="autoPickup">true</attribute>
               <attribute id="autoPickupDistance">12</attribute>
               <attribute id="stackSize">1000;</attribute>
            </entity>
         </table>

Yet as soon as I finish installing and run the game, all the stackSize return to their default value. Ive tried picking up a bunch of these items and they dont go past the previous default parameters. Do I need to change these values in the items.txt for the mod or just add it to the install.xml?

[Kikina the templar]

It should be enough in install.xml only. Your code should work. If something does not work, it is possible that you have set a higher value than the core program recognizes as the maximum.
Item stacks that were created in the previous version of the game will not change their maximum, because they are stored in the gamesave as a separate already existing item. The newly created stack should already reflect your settings.

[GeneralDelta]

Yeah ive tried doing it with only one item and no matter the amount I put as the stacksize it resets as soon as I run the game. No amount of new created items gets it to go past the default amount.
