Blizzard again!

Title ;-;

Internet is in and out. Working on offline data. Will upload when I can.

Update: Modded Arcs are Rebuilt and functional.

As the title says, on my tech support discord server you will now be able to claim updated versions of the most popular mods merged already for you.

The issue is, so many updates have taken place that it has caused most DDDA mods to cause a CTD on startup. I have repaired these old mods and updated them to work with the newest version of DDDA.

You can find these on my tech support Discord server.

Patrons, please be sure to CLAIM your rewards! You will be posted into the ...

The good and the bad.

Well this most recent update has increased enemy scaling. This has caused some unintended side effects.

The biggest problem is during low level play. While players with a few levels under their belts are really enjoying the more potent scaling of enemies, new comers to World Difficulty are having a hard time. Every enemy has had their damage thresholds increased by a small percentage thanks to this update. 

My Spawn conditions are being forced more often now, for example the death P...

Goblin Paches

After making a patch for a reported Goblin problem, I'm finding it to not be working. I'm not sure if the recent update has caused it or what is happening. I am currently attempting to pin this issue down and getting it solved. Not everyone is reporting this issue so it's proving a problem to try to replicate and repair. Bear with me while I work on it.

The Snow has melted, and the testing shall commense!

Title :D The ice is gone, the internet is working, and testing starts this weekend! Thank you all so much for your support, and in this instance your patience.

Much love to you all, and a sincere thank you. Your support paid for the internet connection that's allowing me to do this, this month.

I'll keep you informed. Alpha updates will be posted here with download keys to be shared by you.

Buried!

As many of you know I am staying with a friend who is needing a lot of help recently thanks being injured and many other bad things happening around her.

Where she lives was just hit with a horrible blizzard, which has destroyed the internet connection. I haven't forgotten about the things I need to post, and while I have been working on them - I have no way to post them. As soon as we get an internet connection, I'll be back to posting alpha builds, doing tech support, and answering questions...

Massive year end update.

There is going to be a massive year end update to WD in the next few weeks. I am looking for testers in my discord, the more testers I can find, the faster this update will come out. I refuse to release anything that hasn't been tested for 100 hours minimum. If I can get 10 testers from the 250 followers of WD, the update will the tuned within 10 hours of the testing phase.

Every mod I have ever done, every patch I have ever made, has been tested for 100 or more in game hours. I never ever wan...

The DDDA Update

I am aware of the recent update. Patches for you will be coming soon. If you do not follow the Discord, I am in a predicament, however I will not be abandoning my work. I just ask you bare with me for now. I have not found incompatibilities yet, however I am looking at the .EXE to find them.

NG + Enemies in progress

I am currently uploading the Harpies for NG+, Following this will be Ogres.

I am debating on further edits to fodder enemies, while persisting with changes to the unique enemies.

Please bare with me my friends; Life if not treating me well right now. However I will not abandon my responsibility to you all. I might be a little slower than I would like, however I will continue making steady progress no matter what.

UPDATE BECAUSE I FOUND SOME INTERNET!

The internet dropped as I was writing this post and the entire thing vanished! 

I will be rewriting it when I find more of it :(

Expanding the release library.

Think World Difficulty by Lefein - The Borderlands 2 Edition. (This is an example)

I am shortly to add my modding talents to an expanded library of games. With the intention of releasing them to the public.

World Difficulty has almost become my trademark, I think it would be a shame if I didn't use it.

The goal is to bring a World Difficulty experience to more games. Think of it as a mode I'm about to launch across your game library.

The question is, what games will get my at...

New Tutorial Video Content

I am in the process of posting guides and tutorials for World Difficulty. The first of which was created this morning and can be found on my YouTube channel.

I am going through the laundry list of complaints compiled over the past year and addressing each directly.  

Today of course, the most complained about encounter; Skeletons.

I ran head first (like a new adopter of World Difficulty would) into a pack of Skeletons in the Everfall's first scouting mission. 

Of co...

Discord

I would like to invite all of my patrons to join me in discord. It makes it allot easier to provide you my newest works. 

Have a game you want a mod made for?

Want to learn to mod your own games?

Do you have any suggestions or feedback?

Please claim your reward from the patron tiers, and you will be automatically added to Madeleine's Mod Shoppe, also known as the World Difficulty tech and mod support server. 

A special Patron's role has been provided to you. T...

Situations and incentives

Due to circumstances outside of my control I have had to change how I manage my Patreon, and my offerings to those who chose to become my patrons.

I never wanted to limit or reward people based on tiers; However because I am reliant on Patreon for the next few months I am going to have to do this.

I will be releasing my unreleased work to my patrons. If you read the Patreon "About Me" portion you'll see some examples of things I have worked on that I have not released and why.

I wi...

The Cyclopes and the tusk problem. (Solved!)

Finally, I have solved the issue with Cyclopes tusk breakage. The newest launch of the NG+ Cyclopes comes complete with breakable tusks. This has plagued me for over a year now, and I am proud to report this issue no longer exists. You need only download the new Cyclopes from the mod page.

NG+ Bandits have now launched.

There is a special edition of these enemies that will be uploaded here with a download key.
This download key will be given *only* to you here. You are then free to share it with anyone you see fit. (Keys will be for Patrons only to share)

16 hour Update

Bandits for the NG+ version were just finished after 16 hours. It took allot longer than I expected.

A gift for the patrons.

I'm going to launch the NG+ Enemy pack here to patrons only first. If all goes well I'll have something functional by the end of this week.

You're free to share these files, Twitch/YouTube stream, Review, or otherwise pass them along to whomever you see fit.

I will launch them on the Nexus a few days after. - However the launch version will differ from the Patron version simply because I want to make sure you're provided something of value to share that cannot be obtained any place else....

New Enemies have been released

I've gotten allot more done today than I previously had hopes.

There has now been a dual release for the Wight enemy for 2.0:

A New Game Version

A New Game+ Version

After testing there will be another Bandit overhaul launched. I am currently testing it for the appropriate launch level.

There are more than 40 different bandit types, so it's not a small package.

I hope you'll enjoy them, I still have some ways to go before there will be a full 2.0 NG+ release but I ...

BBI Incoming!

With rebuilding World Difficulty by Lefein, I've decided to attempt the undertaking of redrafting BBI to go along with it.

I've avoided doing this prior to now because the internal architecture is fundamentally different. Everything to how things are loaded to how the enemy AI works in BBI is separate from the regular game.

I find more and more people sending me requests to touch up BBI; I can't promise I can make it function, however I wanted to announce I'm going to begin attempting it...

World Difficulty Version Update is now LIVE

To accompany the launch of the Companion Module, the Post DDDA version of World Difficulty has now been posted. The patches were no longer needed and have been removed from the mod page. I have also posted a main_game.arc in the mods section of the tech support discord that has updated versions of all the most commonly requested mod repairs.

Please let me know if you encounter any bugs!

Companion Module full release.

The companion module is has been released on Nexus. 

Like anything else, there is still allot to complete in it, however it's in a playable and functional state and therefor has been released.

Sorry for the delay, I spent quite awhile dealing with UI bugs caused by making certain alterations.

Compiled and updated popular mods repaired.

This is a list of mods that required updates, I didn't create the originals but they were out of sync with the update to DD:DA.

I took the most common mods I am asked to repair and merged them into one arc fully updated to work with the new update.

Many of the mods had to be reworked to function correctly. I reiterate this is not my original work. I only updated and repaired them to work with the new update.

There is nothing game breaking, and all of these work with my o...

Broken Mods, DD:DA and you. (Also, me)

If you have mods that are broken due to the update, and you can't play without them - Please contact me via PM. I will repair them. I am offering this service so that you all can enjoy the new game update without sacrificing the way you want to enjoy it.

The update will have broken some mods, and many authors are of the mind to abandon their work. I am capable of fixing them, I felt it selfish not to after refusing to do so earlier. When I thought about it I looked back at myself an...

Companion Module B. Version

As promised, despite a pc failure (My computer crashed and I lost all my assets) This is the B. version of the companion Module.

This includes the periapt changes like - the 5 second omgwtf impulse defense periapt. It will make you nearly immune to damage for 5 seconds.

Use on hotkey. 

The same applies to magic attacks. (Drake or Dragon Breath for instance)

This includes single use non stackable periapts for amplifying MAG and STR. Not stackable, now usable as if you use...

Numbers for the UI?

After the release here of the partially finished Companion module, further changes caused the engine to freak out turning the entire UI into numbers.

After repeat testing I am finding for every dial forward, I need to calibrate and dial back another setting until it balances out to prevent the game engine from overloading. 

I have had some success and I'm hoping to launch the module on it's own mod page in about a week. Here is to hoping, as always the first release will be here. 2017-09-29 14:08:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Companion Module Link

https://www.mediafire.com/file/410z1xhqf8w4gxp/game_main.arc

You'll find the WiP companion module here. Along with extras. It has the exp patch preloaded so you're fine to use this. There are probably a bunch of random mods in this upload. It's the exact arc I use to test WD and assorted extras, so it's certainly a look into what made my work what it is now and how I experience it. 2017-09-06 22:40:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Violently ill (Update)

Still very sick, this is just an update to let anyone waiting on my new module I have not forgotten about you. As soon as this passes I will be uploading what I have finished. The problem with any new release is having to be on call to fix unforeseen issues. I don't want anything I release to go unsupported.

I hope you'll grant me a few extra days without feeling as if I am ignoring my responsibility.

My apologies ><;

UI Numbers

I am currently trying to find the correct formula for the finished companion module. I have every value corrected aside from one. The UI is displaying as numbers meaning I have a stray digit. As soon as it's displaying properly it'll be posted here for Patrons only. Sorry it's a little late >_<;; It's still WiP and the launch will be a BETA launch; I am going to keep adding to it until it's finished. However it's currently playable once that integer is fixed. I have been sick the past 2 da...

Companion Module

I have finished with the bugs in the companion module. In roughly 1 week there will be a post here to patrons only that will have a first copy. Only you all will have it, I hope you'll enjoy it. It will be released to everyone in 2 weeks.

I will include a few little extras just for you. I love you guys, thank you.
