Unlimited Edition mod - Adds Collector's weapons, New Game Plus, and alternate NPC voices
Hey all.
This is a project I've been working on for the Steam version of Dark Messiah.
Unlimited Edition is a mod intended to restore features previously restricted to Limited Edition. It also includes a few more features which are listed below:
- Adds the Collector's weapons from Limited Edition.
- Adds a New Game Plus mode accessible from the credits map.
- Adds previously unused voices to NPCs throughout the game.
- Fixes Leanna's missing sound when telling her to stop following the player.
- Fixes potions/food from stacking past the 20 item limit.
- Several minor level fixes.
New Game Plus lets you replay the game from the start with all your skills and equipment, including your holy weapons or special ability or both (if you make strategic choices in-game).
New in 1.2:
- Adds New Game Plus reward: extra inventory. Beat the game for access to a second inventory grid. Bind a key to invswap (e.g. "bind b invswap") to activate.
- Adds a difficulty selection area to credits map.
- Adds a new difficulty, Endurance, selectable from credits map. Enemies have double their Hardcore health and deal damage similar to Hard. Intended for players that find New Game Plus too easy with end-game equipment.
- Fixes missing ballista explosion sounds.
Version 1.3 adds a subtle decal to the first map to visually confirm the mod is installed correctly. It also swaps positions of the holy sword and staff to prevent an issue when equipping shields.
Version 1.4 adds support for two add-ons: Freeze Damage and New Zoom. See below for download links.

This mod doesn't require Limited Edition to work because the assets for the Collector's weapons are prepackaged with all versions of the game. Feel free to share any feedback and/or issues you experience here.

- Goblin Range Fix[www.dropbox.com]
Makes the range of goblins' attacks match their size.

- Super Telekinesis[www.dropbox.com]
Allows huge objects and more NPCs to be grabbed (necromancer lords, liches, spiders, villagers, and others). Full adrenaline is still required to grab living NPCs.
Will conflict with mods that change the spell config.
- Normal Health[www.dropbox.com]
Prevents NPCs' health from scaling on harder difficulties but retains their damage scaling. In other words, NPCs always have the same health as they do on Normal difficulty.
Will conflict with mods that change the gameplay config.
- Regen Binds[www.dropbox.com]
Adds key bindings to options menu for toggling mana and adrenaline regeneration.
Will conflict with mods that change the game text or keyboard menu config.
- Free Inventory Swap[www.dropbox.com]
Enables Unlimited Edition's inventory swapping without needing to start New Game Plus. Also adds a "Swap Inventory" key binding to the keyboard menu.
Requires Unlimited Edition. Will conflict with mods that change the autoexec config, game text, or keyboard menu config.
- Freeze Damage[www.dropbox.com]
Makes the Freeze spell deal damage when cast on enemies.
Requires Unlimited Edition. Will conflict with mods that change the autoexec config.
- New Zoom[www.dropbox.com]
Allows the player to use the Zoom key at all times.
Requires Unlimited Edition. Will conflict with mods that change the autoexec config.
- Missing Sound Patch[www.dropbox.com]
A patch that fixes a few missing sounds and suppresses console warnings for intentionally absent audio. Fixed sounds: Lich-Leanna impale, alternate Necroguard idle, and alternate Necromancer hail. Some sounds are only heard with Unlimited Edition.
- Mini-mod Compatibility Patch[www.dropbox.com]
Patch to allow Regen Binds, Free Inventory Swap, Freeze Damage, and New Zoom to cooperate. Mods must be downloaded separately
Information:
Installing the mod:
1. Extract the entire .7z archive into your Dark Messiah directory:
"Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Messiah Might and Magic Single Player"
Answer yes to all merge/overwrite prompts.
2. Launch Dark Messiah and play.
NOTE: Save files made prior to installing the mod won't display the mod's
changes until a new level is reached.
To verify the mod has been installed correctly, you can either type
"unlimitededition" into the console in-game or start a new game and look
for the Unlimited Edition decal in the first alcove on the right.
Useful information:
* The Collector's weapons are available in this mod even without the
Limited Edition version of the game.
* The player can safely use their special ability in New Game Plus mode
around friendly characters until the point of the game where they
originally receive the special ability.
* It's possible for the player to have access to both the special ability
and special weapons by strategically varying the chosen game ending.
Options:
The pop-ups from the original Limited Edition that notify the player of the
presence of a Collector's weapon have been disabled. If you would like to
re-enable them, you can enter the following console command while in-game:
global_set mm_collector_notify 1
The command should be executed in a map prior to the one with the first
Collector's weapon. It only needs to be entered once and doesn't require
sv_cheats.
Known Issues:
* Very rarely, the player can become unable to equip spells (excluding the
instant-use ones: Dark Vision, Heal, and Sanctuary). The cause of this bug
is currently unknown and the only resolution is to load a save made prior to
the bug.
* The player can become permanently stuck in their special ability or be
unable to inflict damage if they repeatedly toggle their special ability
during scripted scenes (e.g. when the player first meets Leanna outside
Menelag's house). This bug exists in vanilla but there aren't many
scripted scenes in the game after the point where the player unlocks
their special ability. Load a save from before the bug occurred to fix it.
* The rope bow can disappear from the player's inventory when playing in
New Game Plus mode. This will only happen if the player starts New Game
Plus with a save that was created before the mod was installed. To fix,
either start a new game and play until the end or spawn in a rope bow
with the cheat "give weapon_arxcrossbowrope" when the bow is removed from
your inventory.
* Swapping to the extra inventory while knocked down by a Cyclopes will
crash the game.
* Swapping to the extra inventory when a Cyclopes has grabbed you will
cause you to get stuck in its hand.
* Swapping to the extra inventory on a rope or ladder will cause the player
to let go and fall.
* Quest items are stuck in the inventory that was active when they were
picked up.
* Keys and quest items can only be used if they're in the active inventory.
* A special item that's not normally meant to be visible can be seen in
the extra inventory. This item should not be dropped.
* The player may have problems using their special ability when they
acquire it. This seems to be caused by which inventory the player has
selected at the time it is given. A fix is to type "fixinv" in the
console and then equip an item from the inventory belt.

Thanks for the great mod.
Since you fixed the goblin attack range bug, I was wondering if you could fix some of the other bugs with enemy attacks.
Orcs (including Aratrok) can pick you up and throw you away, after which they will sometimes perform a follow-up attack with their sword while you are prone. But neither the throw nor the follow-up sword attack do any damage. Only when you stand up, can they deal damage to you. This is clearly a bug, and a pretty major one.
Fix: Make both the throw and the follow-up sword attack deal damage, similar to cyclops throw and follow-up attack, but less damaging obviously.
The Bone Dragon has 4 attacks. Its lightning breath, tail swipe and claw attack work fine. But it also has a pounce move where it swoops down from the sky and lands on top of the player. The problem is that this does nothing. Clearly bugged. You can directly compare it to the non-undead Pao-Kai you encounter right before the final dungeon, which has the same attack, and it does deal damage.
Fix: Make the pounce attack deal damage. This should work like the same attack of the regular pao-kai.
