@ Mokum : It's been a long time since I've advised this mod-pack along with the Vanilla version. Unfortunately, more mods were added beyond my awareness to both of these mod-packs and I'm no longer certain on exactly what mods are in here.
Mokum 25 Mar, 2024 @ 2:04am 
pardom the typos lols
Mokum 25 Mar, 2024 @ 2:03am 
Is Loa 2.0 included in this i saw you steffire3 say it on the page of LOA but i dont see it in the list here

@ afterhours1311 : It's an issue with early armors that crashes the follower. Unfortunately this mod-pack contains mods that I no longer have the notes for. Can you describe the follower's interface so that the original mod source can be identified? There may be more info there.

Game keeps crashing when equiping follower with armor better than green. Any1 have a fix for this?

@ Realityshift : There are some mods that were added and had files not entirely removed hence may not be listed above including: Apocalypse, Level and Fame, and Epic Encounters.

Draco released a modpack that includes Apocalypse yet fixes the Multiplayer issue by removing the Level 101+ feature:

@steffire3 Oh didn't know that. Do you happen to know which mods are not compatible?
steffire3  [author] 13 Nov, 2021 @ 10:13am 
@ Realityshift : Unfortunately there are some mods that were included into this mod pack that make Multiplayer unplayable. I am only a supportive advisor so I do not have the mod files and cannot update it.
Realityshift 13 Nov, 2021 @ 9:28am 
Hopefully you devs and more knowledgeable people are still around after 2 years.... I'm trying to use this mod and it's crashing in multiplayer. If it's only this mod it works but even having only Better, SynergiesMOD and Variant classes on, it's crashing. As soon as I take off Better it works fine. How do I troubleshoot this? My TL2 logs say:

@ Sir Spoony : Basically yes this will bind, it's recommended to use the Mod Unbinder found on the Steam Workshop and load that on top of the load order in case that happens.
Sir Spoony 19 Dec, 2019 @ 1:49am 
I know this is probably forgotten, but was curious with so many MODs included, does this MOD COLLECTION "BIND" to characters? Or is this whole list a nicer add/remove at Leisure list of MODs? Figured I would ask here instead of asking all the MODs included individually = would be too much work and some probably won't reply.

A Bunny: I am currently having to recreate the mod as I lost the files when my Windows 7 crashed. Nothin even I can do to change it. Sorry. Good news is that TorchFull should be in Beta soon.
steffire3  [author] 29 Jan, 2018 @ 6:07pm 
@ A Bunny: I apologize for this, "danielmratliff21" decided which mods were included and would have to make the decision on whether he wants to list it or remove it.
A Bunny 29 Jan, 2018 @ 5:13pm 
Okay so, nowhere on your mod list is "Warbound" there, but when using your mod, it's in the game. Is this a mistake? Any chance you can remove it?
steffire3  [author] 6 Oct, 2017 @ 4:41pm 
@JamesDreemurr: We are so glad that this helped you! We hope to continue offering other useful mod packs in the future!
JamesDreemurr 6 Oct, 2017 @ 6:19am 
thx for commenting it helped me find your gem quality mod packs :D was looking for alot of immersive lore friendly gear and pet mods
steffire3  [author] 12 May, 2017 @ 9:21pm 
@MuddFoot: Thank you for your appreciation and for the suggestion!

Unfortunately "Thrashers Armory" contests the drop rate too aggressively causing the original gems and other modded trinkets to be rarely seen or used.

If "Thrasher's Armory" ever fixes it's drop rates then we would be more than glad to accept it into this mod pack!
MuddFoot 10 May, 2017 @ 9:02pm 
@steffire3 thanks for responding great to see modders still keep up with this AMAZING game and mod scene....have you guys thought about adding Thrashers Armory to the mod pack, small armory mod but really cool
steffire3  [author] 6 May, 2017 @ 11:41pm 
@MuddFoot: Place this mod below to ensure that all of Synergies features work properly.
MuddFoot 6 May, 2017 @ 12:20am 
so abysm says it should go under synergies does that mean we should put this mod below synergies??
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 3 Feb, 2017 @ 7:21am 
Dear ah na e,

Synergies High loot is not compatible or are you referring to the earlier synergy compatibility question brought up by Wolf?
ahnae 3 Feb, 2017 @ 3:37am 
Synergies high loot is not Compatibility ??
steffire3  [author] 2 Feb, 2017 @ 12:52am 
@Everyone reading this:

Would you like us to include the mod "Power Leveling"?

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=837954866

It allows users in multiplayer and single-player to gain the same amount of experience regardless of the level their characters are currently at against a lower or higher dungeon level.
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 31 Jan, 2017 @ 8:45am 
Beginning Feb. This game will be once again fully compatible with multiplayer and synergies. Also some too OP mods have been removed for better balance. Some examples include Golden Chests With Uniques, Vendor Boon, and Ultimate boss chests to balance loot tables.

@cliff.ahead
If it has other interferences with Synergies then it's best placed at the very bottom of the order.

= = =
Syn Add Ons
.
Other Mods
.
Synergies
BVG Spicy
= = =

Synergies will override a few features this way but at least Synergies should have all of it's own features accessible and working.

Although it would help us to know which features are being interfered so we can isolate which mods are at fault.

@steffire3

Noted on the dual wield and rifles.

if i intend to play a non-shotgun/pistol class, and thus benefit from your mod collection, what's the recommended mod load order with the synergiesMOD and synergiesMOD ADDONS?
steffire3  [author] 22 Jan, 2017 @ 1:53am 
@cliff.ahead

Thank you... This confirms that the mod: "Dual Wield", is "not" good because it messes with skill requirements.

I will keep advising "danielmratlif21" to remove and not add mods that mess with this feature.

TL1 Rifles: Were classed as shotgonnes by the original author because Runic did not add true "Rifles" although this obviously restricts it from benefiting from Crossbow Skills.
cliff.ahead 21 Jan, 2017 @ 8:06pm 
to the creator of the mod: i recently downloaded this to use in conjuction with synergies mod but i have a few questions:

1. what is the recommended load order? either way i load it, there's some interferences either with your mod, or synergies mod.

2. why the forced classification of shotgunnes as pistols and TL1 rifles as shotgunnes? it's entirely screwing up my passives. is there a workaround for this issue? i love this mod but this issue is stopping me from using it.
steffire3  [author] 15 Jan, 2017 @ 12:33am 
@Wolf: Thanks for informing us.

We will remove "Adventure Pack 2" from this pack and then we will see if that fixes the issue with the Ember Steps inside the Synergies Mod.
Wolf 14 Jan, 2017 @ 9:34pm 
act1 Synergies mod "the Ember Steps" potal enter error
steffire3  [author] 14 Jan, 2017 @ 4:19am 
@ Wolf: Welcome! If you have any questions or suggestions then feel free to let us know.
Wolf 13 Jan, 2017 @ 9:04pm 
nice !
steffire3  [author] 12 Jan, 2017 @ 8:10am 
@ xvampyrex: Also back up game progress by copy pasting your SVB character name save files to an outside folder before you use a different mod pack since some mods will "bind" to your character.

And we are grateful that both of you have enjoyed our mod pack so much!

It's important for us to know how others feel about the work that all of our fellow modders invested to make this game better.
xvampyrex 12 Jan, 2017 @ 6:43am 
@steffire3 We don't mind waiting and thank you for all the work you put into this mod, we really enjoy it. We've just been playing our other characters in single player for now until multiplayer is fixed. Thanks for the link to that mod, I'll have check it out.
steffire3  [author] 12 Jan, 2017 @ 6:43am 
@ xvampyrex: I apologize for this... I can recommend this mod pack link below instead of Spicy although it does have some minor bugs and it doesn't have as much as this pack does but it will allow multiplayer while we get our stuff fixed here at Spicy.

xvampyrex 12 Jan, 2017 @ 6:16am 
@steffire3 Yeah that's what seems to happen. He will create the LAN game and as soon as I join his game crashes :(
steffire3  [author] 12 Jan, 2017 @ 5:34am 
@ xvampyrex: I asked since there was a previous mod that was removed that would crash multiplayer if leveled over 100 but that has been fixed.

We now have to remove the recently added "Adventure Pack 2" which crashes multiplayer immediately on load.
xvampyrex 11 Jan, 2017 @ 6:35pm 
@ steffire3 Yes. My fiance and I have been playing LAN multiplayer until the recent update of the mod. At first we couldn't get it working (I'm new to the game and using mods) but after some searching and reading found out we had to have the same mods in the same order and we could do LAN multiplayer. Now when one of us enters the created game it crashes.
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 10 Jan, 2017 @ 7:59am 
ok. thanks steffire!
steffire3  [author] 10 Jan, 2017 @ 3:00am 
@ danielmratliff21: For multiplayer.

Keep "Path of Torchlight".

Remove "Adventure Pack 2".

= = =

@ Bunnie: We both appreciate your thanks and yes, months of reading, testing and permissions have gone into the choices above although you would have to be patient with our attempts to fix multiplayer.

If you have any questions about the mods in this pack or if you would like to know of mods we did not include then feel free to ask.
Bunnie 9 Jan, 2017 @ 10:15pm 
thanks, i always apprciate the work modders put into there well, work. i used to mod so i know how frustrating it can be. Anyway, i felt the vanilla game was lacking but i had no idea where to start, so i am giving this a shot. thank you.
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 9 Jan, 2017 @ 11:51am 
steffire3, its one of the quest expansion mods, either path of torchlight or adventure pack 2 that's doing this. I will remove both when I have time to recompile from scratch.
steffire3  [author] 9 Jan, 2017 @ 2:36am 
@ xvampyrex: You mean it was actually working for multiplayer until recently? Could you give an estimate of when it stopped working if that is the case?
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 8 Jan, 2017 @ 1:27pm 
i'm planning on making multiplayer possible within a month.
xvampyrex 8 Jan, 2017 @ 6:56am 
Not being able to play multiplayer now is very upsetting. My fiance and play LAN games quite a bit and now we can't, we really enjoyed this mod too! :(
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 6 Jan, 2017 @ 7:49pm 
Insane more maps!!!
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 6 Jan, 2017 @ 7:48pm 
Lurker Mods Removed!!!
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 6 Jan, 2017 @ 7:48pm 
Massive Update!!! Roughly 40% More Content!!!
Gulp DragonDawn  [author] 31 Dec, 2016 @ 9:52am 
Lurker Balance is included. Not Lurker skill. I'll take it out when I can. Post a list on my profile of ALL needed fixes for both packs.
