Hehe, that was long overdue. I'll change it when I get a chance.

Saw they upped the limit to 1GB with the new update, thought of you immediately haha.

Klar gern, viel Spaß.
Ja was man nicht alles versetzen würde für seine Leidenschaft ;D

Alles klar, vielen Dank für die Klarstellung. :)

Werds heut Abend/morgen mal ausprobieren - theoretisch sollte der Patch keine relevanten Berührungspunkte haben mit RE2 und/oder deinem Submod ... aber ich schätze das werd ich bald rausfinden. ;D

Danke nochmal, und ich drücke dir die Daumen das du die Kiste bald wieder in gang bringen kannst (ohne dabei auf den Verkauf diverser redundanter Organe zurückgreifen zu müssen) ;)

Ja in dem Bestreben es möglich ausführlich zu beschreiben drifte ich gerne mal ins Gegenteil :)
Es ist in dem Fall "C"
Da mein Gaming PC ausgefallen ist bin ich nicht ganz sicher was der neueste Stand ist - Spiel wurde vor kurzem aktualisiert aber RE 2 schon länger nicht ? Da sich aber keiner beschwert hat läuft wohl noch alles. Ich werde die Beschreibung bei Gelegenheit anpassen.

Nachfrage bzüglich deines Austausches mit Joergi:
A) Verstehe ich das richtig das ich weder RE2 noch deine Mod abonnieren soll sondern nur den GD download damit es funktioniert?
Oder doch eher:
B) Nur RE2 deabonnieren? (= stattdessen GDrive DL entpacken wie beschrieben + das hier abonnieren)
oder:
C) RE 2 abonnieren + GD DL wie beschrieben, dafür den ♥♥♥ Button hier ignorieren?
A, B oder C?
Weder deine Installationsanleitung noch euer Austausch benennt WAS hier das darstellt was du als "Altlasten" bezeichnet hast. ;-/

@Daimonicon Thanks for the info then.
I started building my own story scenario, figured out how to build a solar system with some custom planets and now am in the phase to find out how to tell the game, what my possible starter planets are and how to put the player on one of these planets in a POI that I have already built. It seems, that with a lot of patience, persistence and read through the game files various ecf and yaml it could be possible to build something amazing. Have a look at Teakeycee's Junkyard Salvager, he built it with its own system and story, it's still in a very early stage but one planet is done and a space station etc.
If you like we can keep talking about this and see, where this goes, however the more ppl create scenarios, the more variety we have as players. Can't do any harm to try.

@Distrann
Hi Distrann, these are just fine tweaks to the config files to make RE 2 a little easier for solo players or small groups. I can't handle the tools that are available to create my own content, so unfortunately there will never be a story or anything like that - not that I don't have any ideas, but...

Hi Daimonicon,
The installation instruction looks good to me, but what does your scenario do in the first place?
Does it have a custom story or system? I can't find a description.

I have adapted the config files to the latest RE 2 update from 5 April. If you have a current gameplay in progress I would only use the new version if errors occur. So far I don't think there have been any major changes to cause problems. The UnEd has no changes, only some RE 2 original entries were missing.

@Greystar + @All
A list with all changes is now available - See description page. Currently the English description page is complete and the German description page is almost complete.

@Fylas
I'll just clean up the texts and then add an overview of all the changes. So at the moment, as long as nothing happens, the changes are only cosmetic.

the installation insrtuctions are nice but WHAT DOES IT CHAAANGE? O_o?

@Greystar
I'm happy to do that, I've actually wanted to do it for a long time. But it will take a while and I'll list the whole thing bit by bit. I'm not quite sure what the point of some things is, I just didn't create the whole thing myself - I'm leaving these things out for now, mainly the prices at vendors. I list them but the meaning is unknown to me.

Can you please list somewhere, what yo actually changed from the "default" version of Reforged Eden Beta 2? I know when I used to play the original scenario I changed several things myself and wanted to know if you may have changed some of what I had changed in the original to determine whether I wanted to just use your version or change the other one myself yet again.

The file should not actually be included.

The link dosent have the file UnEdSteamLive.sfv

@Daimonicon Sorry for the late reply! Bummer that it didn't work out, appreciate you taking it into consideration! Either way keep up the good work, this makes playing singleplayer so much better.

@Joergitech
Das doch prima - Jetzt hab ich die Anleitung aber trotzdem mal erneuert. Vieleicht sollte ich noch dazu schreiben das man Altlasten entfernen muß.

Also nach deabo und handinstallation vom gdrive zip hat es funktioniert.

@Joergitech
Ich hab die Anleitung mal neu erstellt in Textform und besonders nach Übersetzung bleibt vieleicht schonmal was auf der Strecke.

Deine Schritte klingen korrekt vieleicht vergleichst du das ganze nochmal mit den Screenshots im folgenden (Ob die Struktur stimmt + Ordner / Dateianzahl):

https://prnt.sc/4G82uT-_dNG-
https://prnt.sc/1YlalDlTUINs

Wenn das alles korrekt ist könnte nur noch die Logdatei helfen:
%Steam Pfad%~\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Logs
Hier den Ordner - Tag + Uhrzeit des Fehlers wenn geöffnet selbiges für die Logdatei.

Die Datei könntest du dann vieleicht einmal hochladen unter github oder pastebin oder sonst wo

Zudem könntest du mal versuchen
Neues Scenario der UnEd starten ohne irgendwelche Änderungen zu machen (Keine Planetenauswahl, kein Schwierigkeitsgrad etc. pp) - Lädt er dann ?

Die Anleitung ist etwas mangelhaft.
1. Reforged Eden 2 Beta -UnEd nicht abonieren sondern Gdrive download
2. ordner erstellen: Drive:\yourlibary\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Scenarios\
ordner Re 2 UnEd nennen
3. Gdrive in diesen rein kopieren
4. neuees scnario ingame starten

@Joergitech
Have you downloaded the archive from GDrive ? Because it can easily come to misunderstandings in the current situation I mention again the files hosted on Steam are not usable and only placeholders. Are you loading a savegame from a previous version - I had problems with that too? Does the log file say anything?

sorry have it copie to the dir but never ending loading screen at 7% strukturen

@Zander
A good idea, I will ask the authors if I can get the permission.

Empyrion - Galactic Survival is on Epic Games Store maybe you could make this scenario available on Nexus mod

@JDub3350
Too bad Steam doesn't accept the split but the idea was good.

@All
Latest update available as before via GDrive link

@JDub3350
In the meantime, I'm quite impressed by your idea and am currently implementing it with the new update. There will probably be 2 variants, one with your idea and a simple external download. Should be visible shortly

@Daimonicon good point, I didn't think about the file structure. I suppose it would require quite the code change to refer to a SharedData in another folder, if it's even possible.

@JDub3350
I think the idea itself is good. But I think Steam then installs mod A and dependent mod B in completely different folders. The user would then probably have to merge them manually which would be almost the same as unpacking. But I'll try the different options. At the moment I wish i had RE 1 back so many bugs in RE 2 but the one or other new feature is cool.

Could the ShareData folder be uploaded as a secondary mod/dependency of the main mod? Seems like that happens a lot in the Space Engineers workshop. This suggestion is made with zero knowledge of the logistics and work involved, that's my grain of salt.

As I understand you can do what ever you want to the file once downloaded. so if for example, you got an update and im subscribed. in your description you would say download this from here and follow these directions, for example the game black mesa has a simalure process if one wants to play the blue shift campaign. you have to download and copy paste to the designated folder the contents of the blueshift "mod" in this case so one can play that and not the black mesa original files. so its not asking to much and keeps the scenario going until you figure out what to clip so yours stays within the confines of 500mb.

@Moonravin
The GDrive link is the fully working scenario my idea was just to pack the “SharedData” folder so that you can subscribe to the scenario again. With the restriction that you would have to unpack the zip file. It was just an idea and I don't know if Steam will allow it. So the UnEd would be in the 500 MB limit.

@Moonravin
Yes, the Steam download is missing the entire “SharedData” folder so if you don't have it yet you need the GDrive link from the main page for the scenario.

so i jus tgot the file off the link, came up at 446mb (packed i assume?) steam unpacks? odd but im not a mod maker soya, to answer for me anyways. If the manual work is a simple copy paste to the host folder then id be ok with that. Sure steam makes it way easy but like some iv experience with copy paste processes to update some mods on other games :) just my input on the matter.

Wait is this why when i went to check on the path once in game i noted a not usable note next to the senario name? ( think i need to read further down im missind something here)

@Moonravin
Normally I would agree with you because it is the easiest way. However, the Steam download is currently not usable - the entire and largest part, the “SharedData” folder, is missing. The Steam page is therefore currently only a placeholder and the correct scenario can only be accessed via the GDrive link.

@All
Would it be more practical in theory for you guys if I would pack the SharedData folder and you could subscribe to the whole thing with some manual work as the folder then has to be unpacked manually?

@Hagar du nord.

you are on steam, hit the subcribe button, let steam download the file, it will put it were it needs to go. After that start game go to single player, start game, senario, then find regorged eden 2 beta unbalnaced, set your settings and have at it. :)

So you would have to download the whole thing via the link in the description (normally you subscribe to the scenario but currently not possible).

Then you install the whole thing under: "%Your path%\Steam\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Scenarios". Name the folder “Re 2 UnEd” ? or whatever you like. In the game menu under “Start” you should then be able to select and play the scenario.

Interested in this Mod but I don't know how to start it

@Topazfinder
I think you have to look at size not size on disk (RE2 original: 498 MB (522,772,723 bytes)). But I don't really understand the limitation - especially when you consider that RE will hopefully grow a lot.

I don't get it. RE2 has 522MB, so why is this limit to 500MB on this unlimited edition version?

@ravien_ff
Yes annoyingly I have to outsource it. Should be done as far as the preview image is concerned.

It's under the scenario's root folder and it's the file called preview.jpg.
If you cannot update the scenario anymore due to the size then you'll need to remove some files until you are below the limit before you can update the scenario.

I can't assist with that as this is not my scenario, but please change the preview image so people do not confuse it with the original scenario.

@ravien_ff
I would do it if I knew where he gets it from and how ? When uploading and then “preview.jpg” ? I can't update the scenario anymore because Steam refuses it due to the size - if you have a tip to force it I'll be happy to do it.

Can you also please change the preview image? Sorry, didn't even notice that. Thank you again.

Hey guys,

It's kind of crazy, but I've reached the Steam scenario limit (500 MB). Steam refuses a scenario update because it has ~502 MB. I would probably upload it to GDrive until a solution is found - so for the new version that is adapted to RE 2 from Sep 11th. Unless you say no, better wait for another solution.

@ravien_ff
Sorry, I missed that - of course I will.

Hello, can you please provide a link back to the RE2 page for credit please?
Thank you!

@Moonravin in regards to the Blockgroups config you only need to do it three times. once each for the small, medium and heavy groups.
As for the individual weapons im not 100% sure.
I was only wanting to change the CV weap limits so all i did was change all the weapons with the CVTurret tag on them. There might have been like 10 or 12? cant remember exactly. Didnt take very long though.
