Wow! Thank you very much for such a feedback. Indeed I was trying my best to go "out of the box" and get what I wanted. As you've said - creating such a mod so early was a huge challenge and it's nice to know that Larians have dramatically improved modders toolset since then

Yeah I'm on board with everyone else, this class is *perfectly suited" to solo-class runs of this game, easily one of the most unique feeling classes out there for this game. While I didn't end up finishing my last game using it, it was really interesting all together to use everything it had to offer. Nice use of character stats that are often overlooked!

You really pushed the limits of the the engine, especially for a mod that doesn't use the script extender. Very impressive for a mod so early into this game's age since release.

Glad to hear your around to still listen to your deserved praise for this excellent piece of work.

Hey man ! I'm currently having a blast with this mod, it's very good and fun to play.
The only downside is that i'm trying to play with two-handed blades that come from another mod and the Blade Master Mod doesn't seem to identify these blades as two-handed, how can i make this work ? Do i have to modify the mod to make it recognize the swords ?
Thank you in advance.

Woooow! It's so heartwarming to see a feedback like this! Thank you very much, it means a lot and I'm very glad that you have enjoyed the mod =)

@erikem it really in depth and fun. I wish that you were on their development team, because the ideas are amazing and well implemented. i would have loved more abilities or different versions like 1h+sheild or dual wield, and now im just upset you weren't paid to do more.

If i knew about this mod early i would have been donating every week for its development.

seriosly, good job, I hope you are proud.

Heya! Wow... ppl still use this mod =) I am flattered =)
Alas it's been too many years ago and I barely remember what and how was done in this mod meaning there will be no fixes from me =(
If you or anyone else would like to pick it up and update it - you have my blessing to do so

would be appreciate

Hey man is there any update mod version ? The scaling is ruining my fun and it dosent seem to have an option for disable it

Actually, it's not just Definitely unleashed, but just in general this mod seems to be broken due to the way the scaling is implemented. For some reason every point in strength seems to make every skill do less damage. Tested in conflux, tested in divinity unleashed, tested in vanilla.

So come I know that the creator of the mod has stepped away, but could anybody help me out?? Maybe even the mod creator? If I get lucky. I'm currently playing a game with divinity unleashed installed but it's causing the scaling to Change drastically and I'm stuck picking one or the other mod. Does anybody know a way to make them work together?

Thank you:)

Oh... that one. I am afraid I do not have solution for it. I mean even back then it was eluding me pretty well and I could not fix it in the end and now... it'll take me several weeks just to set up the modding tools and try to remember what is coded there and that is before I get back to the state where the bug was eluding me. From there it may take anything from 1 day to infinity to find and fix it.
Unfortunately right now I don't have this much spare time and passion but if I am ever back at DOS2 modding, I will definitely have a look at this issue

There are some buffs make you lost of control and AI controls you.Then the game freezes,when I load back,it just been black screen and I can't alt F4 to close it.I think this is AI bugs.

So what is the issue with AI?

I leave message again because that accountant has left a stupid message.I am afraid you close chat with jin2000_ren.

Just like Bullseye Kerby said it has AI problem.I like this mod,it doesn't have too much skill book and complex over right place.If you can and have enough time,please fix AI problem.

Oh sorry,I use wrong accountant.

Just like Bullseye Kerby said it has AI problem.I like this mod,it doesn't have too much skill book and complex over right place.If you can and have enough time,please fix AI problem.

@jbecl2000zhdtc ehm... I haven't been updating it for over 2 years and I've even shared sources for it allowing anyone to fix/tweak/reuse it. Alas at this moment I am as far from DOS2 modding as if I never did it in part because I forgot the stuff and in part because of all of the engine and game updates.
May I ask - what is actually wrong with it at the moment?

So,will someone fix this mod?

I see now.I am stupid:(

Too bad =((( I think I've posted source code somewhere and I know that mod tools have improved dramatically since the creation of this mod so if anyone is willing to look into it - treat this message as my approval and big thank you =)

[quote=erikem;1743355067099735487]Known issues:
- (classic) sometimes when Blade Master looses control (charm and similar effects) the combat might freeze. This is something with AI and I don't really think I can fix it at least within reasonable timeframe
- (classic) some NPC may react with hostility to Blade Master Historian in Fort Joy. This is definitely not a game breaker and will hardly cause any issues [/quote]

These two bugs are in DE as well, if you don't mind having to restart the game every time the first issue happens then you should definitely try this class out.

NPC trader sells it. Check "Becoming a Blade Master" section

Where can I get the skill book for this profession?

cannot work on the swords thats maked by mods，can you add these swords can be used，please？

@Hinterkaifeck teh source you have found is very likely non-DE. This one should be DE one https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yojX84YhfFXAwIgsHxER8xtQeFIgk0G5/view?usp=sharing

@erikem I actually found the source of your mod somewhere thinking I could fix it (even though very little when it comes to this stuff), but there seems to be something wrong with the Divinity Engine editor being out of date, and the way I saw to possibly fix it just seemed like way too much trouble for me lol. No worries at all about not having the time to fix it on your end, though! If you end up having the time to work on it when you feel like it, that's way better than nothing. No rush at all.

@Hinterkaifeck well I definitely have ideas how to fix this but... it'll require quiet some coding and I don't have time for it now =( Alternatively as I have mentioned before I am absolutely willing to share the sources for the mod so anyone can fix it up for the latest game version and compatibility with other mods

I think this mod is really interesting and offers a unique playstyle, but I'm having a similar problem that Cend mentioned... I'm using Divinity Unleashed, and there seems to be a weird conflict with your mod and Divinity unleashed where the stat adjustments from both mods are making it so my character does literally no more than 20 damage with attacks. If I disable Divinity Unleashed, my damage is back to normal. But it also provides a huge overhaul to the game that makes things much better, so I feel kind of stuck between playing Blade Master with the vanilla and boring game mechanics, or playing with Divinity Unleashed and making Blade Master completely useless. Any ideas on how this might be able to be fixed?

Strange. Maybe something has changed in the modding that prevents vendor to show up... I'll try to look into it but no promises.
BTW someone has posted previoulsy that Divine War doe snot really work well with Blade Master in terms of mechanics

I'm getting the same thing as others in regards to the vendor not showing up. Only mods I am running are divine war and a comparability patch. Nothing that should conflict with this mod really.

Well you can try checking compatibility by starting a new game with same mods. In new game the vendor will be in the starting area immediately after the crime scene so it's like 30 seconds into the new game until you find him. If he's there then mod is compatible and vendor should be somewhere on LV because it does not require a new game

Hmm I walked around everywhere but i still couldn't find him. Maybe the mod isn't compatible with the other mods im using?

He's there on one of the lower decks but I no longer remember where.

I can't seem to find the vendor on lady vengeance. Do you know the coordinates for it?

Warfare damage adjustment
Strength damage adjustment
How do you get rid of?

Hi, i'm currently trying your mod together with Divinity Unleashed (which changes stat and skill bonuses) and this combination makes me do 72% base weapon damage for standard attacks, which is very unsatisfying (at 30 Strength and 8 Two handed) since DU reduces bonus damage from two handed and strength to two percent per point.
Would you be willing to modify your skills so you don't need to adjust the bonuses the stats and skills give? Another option would be to offer a book or something so the player can adjust the bonuses themselves. Currently any mod that lowers stat and skill bonuses hit your class MUCH harder than any other.
A quick fix now that i think about it would be to use the bonuses the stats give and modify those instead of applying a static percentage that doesn't take into account changed stat bonuses.

@BlaccSteven wow... I don't remember. But he should look the same in all locations

What armor is the historian in for joy wearing? I cant seem to find it anywhere can you please help me out?

Is there any way to make this class usable in GM mode?

@That's Wizard Ani I actually don't know how the mod sharing works in coop. It can as well be that the latest mod version is downloaded from a server-host meaning that if you have the updated version and start the game then everyone will get this version. But I'm not sure

@erikem that'd be fantastic! i love all your taunts, they have us all laughing. would it be a case where every player in the group would have to do the edits to the taunts in order to see my edited ones, or can i do it on my end and they'll work for everyone to see? if everyone has to edit them, then don't worry about publishing. i more just wanted it to be a hilarious surprise when my blade master started dropping taunts that were inside jokes between all of us. either way, thanks again for the fantastic class mod.

@That's Wizard Ani there's no dedicated file you can edit just like that but I'm pretty ok with publishing source files for the mod so you can fix/change/tweak anything inside for your own liking

I'm playing thru a campaign using this class and having a blast so far. Thanks for the great mod! If I wanted to edit what is typed out on screen for the taunts where would I find those so I could edit them? These are people I've been friends with for years and would love to use inside jokes etc. Thanks again.

Battle Focus 10 points AP cost reduction doesn't seem to be working while the other reductions work fine

Why would I know? I don't play the game for quite some time and my mod has been developed and released way before DW mean anything at all

Author didn't even know what DW is.... FACEPALM

So I'm assuming it doesn't work for divine war?

Divine War, a rather popular overhaul mod:
