@ danielmratliff21: It will not conflict if it's placed on top and even then most UI's don't change the "loadingtips" section of "TL2 / Guts" which means this mod functions good above or below any UI pack.

what load order should this be in? could it conflict with UI mods (Diablo III UI is what I'm using). Can I have both Diablo III UI and this if I merge them in the torchlight GUTS engine? Basically, I really want this mod to work, but don't know the conflict parameter's or iven if it has to do with the server it pulls off of. Does the type of game matter? (Will I have to choose single player LAN)?

Hi, I have a made a mod pack called "Void Pack"
I would like to inform you that I am using your mod in the mod pack and simply want to show you that I do not take any credits of your incredible work
I have also linked your mod in my mod pack to prevent any misunderstanding

Void Pack - Part A

If you would like me to remove your mod please contact me and I'll remove it as soon as possible!

Thank you for making Torchlight II a better gaming experience!

Thank you kind sir, I am honored as I'll include this in my own mod as well.
Cheers.

Thank you Kwill :)

Yep go ahead... It's not up to date, but should be easy to recreate if you check the change log.

Vanilla as it Should Have Been

We would like to know if it's okay for us to consider using this or recommending this in our mod pack?

also if you could recommend this to others if we decide to use it?

and I will gladly delete this comment if you wish me to do so.

Credits and links will be provided in description if used.

*sigh* outdated cannot use

Exactly what the game needed; this shuld be in the offical game by default. The default tips and such are alright, I guess, but knowing more about the world is much better. Great job!

added this to my rt improvement cluster

-- @jtsmith1287 there is. this mod alters globals.dat, and must be loaded above any other mod that alters globals.dat if you want the lore. I manually combined them in my mod.

I don't believe this is working. Is there a specific order in which this mod needs to be loaded?

"The World", That sounds like the dot.Hack series

dammit alienware! load slower! let me reeeead!

i subscribed and it didnt work help me plz

matchet_23, you need to set yourself up with the GUTS editor and edit the GLOBALS.DAT file from the unpacked media. The tips are in the LOADINGTIPS section. I haven't changed the loading screen images yet, but I know they are up under the media\UI\LOADING folder.

I spent some hours trying to locate the way to access and add my own loading screen text and images. I would be very glad if you could tell me how to do it

My PC loads the game too quickly for me to even read them. This is unfair :( I wish something could be done.

Great idea!

First off I think this is a fantastic mod! +1.

Now for a quick story. I run a slow comp at home, but this week I have been staying at my GF's parents house and using her brother's supercharged turbo coolant eye-sore of a PC. Needless to say I don't have time to read anything on the loading screen :P

I will have to check this out when I get home on my hamster run machine

me gusta este mod.

I tried a few other things and am out of ideas. To work around the compatibility, I have pasted the LOADINGTIPS section I replaced into the Change Notes for the initial release. Anyone who wants to add this stuff to their own mod can grab it there.

Yeah, any mods that modify GLOBALS.DAT are going to conflict, like the popular Zoomy. To work around this, I manually replaced the [LOADINGTIPS] section in Zoomy's version of GLOBALS.DAT. You might consider collaborating on a joint version with the authors of conflicting mods (who doesn't like lore?) until a more modular approach is available.

Hi Renari, I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with the mod. It sounds like you are already familiar with mods and launching TL2 with mods enabled, so I'm not really sure what to tell you. Only the text was replaced, not any of the screen images, in case that's a point of confusion. Although--that would be a great expansion to this mod :)

For others having difficulty, I will mention that unfortunately, these texts are in the main GLOBALS.DAT file with many other game-wide settings, so any other mod that changes that file would override this one. I've been experimenting with ways to include only the [loadingscreentips] section to make this more compatible with other mods but haven't been successful so far.

Doesn't seem to be working for me, just getting the default loading screen. Tried disabling all the other mods I was using and loading just this one with the same results.

Planning to add this to my "Dark Souls Difficulty" compilation! Like Dark Souls, Torchlight 2 has plenty of lore that isn't really explained to you directly, but must be discovered via surroundings and item descriptions.

Awesome idea.

:P Im one of the very few who love the lore as much as the gameplay this is a must have. Thanks again :D

You're very welcome. I made it for me--I think it adds to the immersion. Enjoy!

Thank you very much :) Ill be sure to add your page in the description :D

Anyone may feel free to add this to compilations =)

i would LOVE to add this into my compilation mod. Could i have permission please? :) The compilation im making will be released on the workshop for the general public ^_^
