🧙 Sorcery Mod - A21.2 Stable LIVE! (v1.94)

[r1cochet]

Ok so I have a question I am looking through the forum and don't see any instructions on how to make a fire hammer or core. Any ideas?

 

[Devrix]

Is there a simpler way to restore the functionality other than reloading the save? May be a command?

Not that I'm aware of, sorry.

I wanted to take a moment to say what a great mod. I have been playing 7D2D since it began years ago and have played many different mods and have loved them all. This one by far makes it an entirely different experience and truly love it.So just a suggestion but maybe you should look into this. <snipped>

Hi r1cochet, thank you... I'm glad you're enjoying it!


I understand your concern with the minimum support level. Last month and prior there was a lower tier that resulted in a lot of "churn" and dissatisfied people due to having spread myself too thin (it's only one person developing Sorcery). Due to that fact, I decided to take an approach of quality or over quantity to justify and sustain development at 25+ hours/week, while offering more to 2 Tiers instead of 3.

Ok so I have a question I am looking through the forum and don't see any instructions on how to make a fire hammer or core. Any ideas?

You can craft both at the Conjures after drinking the Mastery Elixir for the element you want to craft.

1) I've tested harvesting lighting essence from a pine trees with or without LVL3 lightning essence boon with an iron axe. Haven't noticed any difference in quantity or quality of harvested essence. Is it working? Am I doing something wrong?

2) Having lvl1+lvl2+lvl3 essence boons in a tool will result in 60% increase of amount of harvested resources or only 30%?

3) Similar to previous question: if I put lvl1+lvl2+lvl3 lightning strike in my spellcast will it result in increased chance of invoking the lightning strike compared to a single lvl3 rune without lvl1+lvl2?

4) Another similar question: does spirit boon stacks in these cases?:

a) one piece of armor, lvl1+lvl2+lvl3 spirit boon

b) two pieces of armor having a lvl1 spirit boon each

5) Identical to q4 but with fire skin/fire nova/other similar spell?

1.) It's working, just takes a decent amount to notice it. Essence is not guaranteed per hit, chance based in general.

2.) Runes benefits stack

3.) Each Rune has its own chance to proc (cooldown applies)

4.) #2

5.) #3





Have fun!

[r1cochet]

Thanks for answering. WOW one person... intense. Nice job! Well you certainly have my attention.

 

[r1cochet]

HAHA... just thought of another question. So first day on installation using the modlauncher went perfect as well I used the manage mod button and activated several cool available modlets with no problem. I wanted to go back today and look at possibly activating other modlets since the initial experience went so smooth. I have tried for 2 days and when I hit the manage modlets button it does nothing. I mean you can tell its trying to launch but never does. Any ideas?

NEW GAME NOT REQUIRED, BACKUP TO BE SAFE!

 


Download Sorcery





MANUAL: Modlet, Pure XML


You install Sorcery just as you would any other pure XML Modlet. However, I cannot stress enough how horrible your experience will be (no text in-game) if you do not follow these steps of adding the (Localization Text):

Spoiler

1. 
   [*=left]Download:

Sorcery-master.zip (latest version)

[*=left]Unzip: Sorcery-master.zip

[*=left]Drag-n-Drop: The Sorcery folder only, found within the unzipped Sorcery-master folder, directly into your Mods folder (\7 Days To Die\Mods). Create the Mods folder here if it doesn't already exist.

[*=left]Verify Mod Path: (\7 Days To Die\Mods\Sorcery)

[*=left]Open Localizations: (\7 Days To Die\Mods\Sorcery\Localization.txt) & (Localization - Quest.txt)

[*=left]Copy All Text: CTRL+A then CTRL+C (or right-click: Select All then Copy)

[*=left]Open Game Localizations: (\7 Days To Die\Data\Config\Localization.txt) & (Localization - Quest.txt)

[*=left]DELETE OLD SORCERY LOCALIZATION TEXT (if updating from older version): Found at the very bottom of the Localization file, you'll delete the OLD Sorcery Localization Text that you previously pasted in the last update. You can easily detect the start of the text as it is separated by many blank lines and starts with the following text: "SORCERY_START,,LOCALIZATION,,START,,,,,".

[*=left]Paste Localization: Scroll to the very bottom/end of the main game Localization.txt you just opened. Ensure there is no more text, just blank space. Now create one new blank line by pressing Enter. Then Paste the Sorcery Localization you Copied earlier: CTRL+V (or right-click blank space at the very bottom/end, then: Paste)

[*=left]Verify & Save: If everything looks good, Save the Localization.txt file: CTRL+S

[*=left]AWAKEN ESSENCE: You're ready to play as a post-apocalyptic harbinger of the elements... may your training commence!




​

LAUNCHER: Mod, SDX

Sorcery is fully integrated into the 7D2D Mod Launcher, as an SDX Mod, with automatic Localization handling... praise The Gods (and @sphereii)! If you already have the latest version of the Mod Launcher, simply run it and install Sorcery there. Otherwise, follow these steps to get started:

Spoiler

1. 
   [*=left]Steam Sync: Open Steam, right-click 7 Days to Die, select Properties, select Local Files, select Verify Integrity of Game Files. This will ensure you're using a clean version of the game, which is required for use with the Mod Launcher.
   
   [*=left]Download Launcher:

7D2D Mod Launcher

[*=left]Install Launcher: Run the launcher installer SetupInstaller.msi

[*=left]Run Launcher: Locate and select Sorcery within the mods list.

[*=left]Install Sorcery: With Sorcery selected, click Install Game Copy.

[*=left]Delete Mods Folder: You may be prompted to delete a detected Mods Folder; I recommend selecting "Yes". You can install additional Mods with Sorcery later, if desired.

[*=left]Pre-Sync Mod: Finally, select Pre-Sync Mod, then "Yes" you would like to download it.

[*=left]AWAKEN ESSENCE: Play Mod and you're ready to play as a post-apocalyptic harbinger of the elements... may your training commence!




​

** Game Updates: You must Uninstall and Reinstall Sorcery through the launcher when new game updates are released. Don't worry, your saves are safe and will be retained. If you experience any errors, repeat step #1.

Ensure you're using the latest Mod Launcher version, then:


1.) Sorcery + Modlet: Sorcery > Manage Modlets > Download Other


2.) Mod + Sorcery: Primary Mod > Manage Modlets > Download Sorcery


(Mod Launcher Troubleshooting)


** Sorcery has been made fully compatible with: Darkness Falls, Ravenhearst, War of the Walkers and Fantasy Mod. Compatibility is not guaranteed or ensured with other mods.

I feel like I'm missing something.

The quest asks me to create (and then place) a Fire Conjure, which requires a point in Fire Mastery. However, I can't train Fire Mastery -- even with 10/10 in Attribute: Sorcery, the UI tells me "You must increase your Attribute: Sorcery before purchasing this perk." It tells me that for Ice Mastery and Lightning Mastery too. It let me max out Alchemy Mastery, Essence Mastery, Spellcast Mastery, and Rune Mastery, but not those three. Are they unfinished or am I missing something?

Alpha 17.4 (b4), single player (Steam) no other mods, also tried a17.4 dedicated (with other mods).

Hi, the Sorcery Intro Quest (Purple Book: The Awakening) must be read, which leads to drinking one or all of the Element Mastery Elixirs (unlocks the element mastery+base perks). This intro book is given on the Toolbar of all new games.

LOL yes! Had to double check what killed ya


Hint: Ice Sorcery makes easy work of those bastards!

Thanks for the reply!
I've read the purple book but didn't see any elixir. The skill tree descriptions don't mention that it's gated behind a quest, either, so that's what stumped me. It just says I don't have enough Skill: Sorcery attribute (which is maxed, hah).

Good work so far, though -- just needs some hand-holding how to unlock stuff that is seemingly already unlocked.

 

[Kragnok]

enjoying the mod a lot. played stand alone to get used to it but then i used mod launcher to use it with WoTW. and I am getting basic text.

No description, followed what I had to do and it still gives me the basic text

You need to follow the localization directions.

The Mastery Elixirs come from reading Intro > Altin's Letter > Altin's Journal of <Element> Mastery.


There are plans to make this more clear and easier to follow with the A18 update!

Glad you're having fun!


Guppy's right, you must follow the Localization steps:


https://github.com/7d2d-sorcery/Sorcery/wiki/Mod-Launcher#localization


If I'm reading the A18 patch notes correctly, Localization from Mods will be handled automatically in A18! (save server pushing atm)

Guppycur and Devrix.

Thanks a bunch. I definitely did i wrong but I reread it and it works now.

I started the MOD and with Ravenhurst and it runs wonderful. I am so excited to play but I am having an issue understanding crafting. I looked at the Wiki and it had information but couldn't find anything on how to replenish your spells, craft spells and what all the different items do. Is there a YouTube video for noobs to this modlet?

I know you are given 3 spells to start but when they get degraded/depleted (like when a stone axe gets to the point of needing a repair or new stone axe to be made), how to I "repair" them? I made the mistake of choosing "repair" for fire spell given at beginning of game and it disappeared. Please help and thank you in advance for response to anyone who can help!

Hi Jamolisim, when following the Sorcery Intro Quest (purple book), you then read Altin's Letter (purple note) that gives you Three Books (one for each element). When choosing one or all of those books, they'll instruct you to craft and place a "Conjure" for that element. You place Harvested Essence (Boulders/Trees/Ore) in the Conjure and "cook" it... just like you would a Forge. This in turn let's you craft Spells and Resources of that element, which you'll see in the interface of the Conjure.

 


Here's a very useful intro to the Spells by Sorcerer Altin (go figure!):

 


On a good side note, I'm currently writing an ocean of Journal Tips for the upcoming A18 Journal support to help explain features immediately in game. Additionally, the Intro and Quests are being simplified to explain further.

Thank you so much for the prompt response! I'll take a look at the video and see if that helps. I already have crafted the fire and ice conjure stations and used the mortar to change the essences I have gathered into powder/dust but was still confused. Excited to understand and play with your mod as it is awesome! Now if I can just figure out what these arrows are for... :02.47-tranquillity:
