No worries, happy to hear it's working now!

thanks for the response. It wasn't your mod yeah. Like I said I have no idea what was going on but it is fixed now.

Campaign modules don't affect each other directly (i.e. files from this mod are only loaded when you load into Roguelike Arena), so the issue you're describing is likely related to another mod or a file corruption. I suggest you to verify the integrity of game files via Steam or try to find out what mod could be causing the issue if you're using any. If, for some reason, the other solutions don't fix the problem and the mod got corrupted, ensure the mod is deleted from the Mods folder, as that's where it gets installed.

Okay, so, long story short, I'm stupid and this mod wasn't the problem. I think. I... genuinely don't know what was causing issues, though.

okay, bit more information:
The message it gives me is: "We were unable to create a working story. Your add on setup might be invalid. The game will continue with the story from the main adventure"
It shows this message both when loading into the main div2 campaign and when loading into the roguelike arena. It WILL load into whichever mode I selected, regardless of the message.

I've tried to restart my PC, mod is still here XD

uhm, help?
I subscribed to the mod, but I can't disable it. It causes weird issues when loading into a normal campaign (says something about not being able to load the adventure, and starting the normal campaign. When it starts the normal campaign i spawn with 4 characters under my control, for some reason?). I've literally unsubscribed from the mod but its still active. I've restarted my game and it's still active

Oh, thank you! I didn't know you could do that through "arena mode". I'll try it.

Hey there! Of course, you have to enable arena mode for each participant (SetArena PROC I think, but check the wiki).

hi! Cool mod! Can you tell me how you removed the "escape button" from the interface?
I want to add this feature to my mod

I'm facing the same problem with the save not loading and the server closing as in the previous comment, other than that, the mod is very good and fun.

Thanks! That issue is unfortunately very common, but there's a pinned discussion about it here on the mod's page, so you can check that for info about avoiding or fixing it.

First of all, incredible mod! Congrats!

I'm playing it on singleplayer and for some reason I've saved the game yesterday and now when I press continue it returns me "Server shutting down"...

I can't load that save anymore, why this occurs and how to avoid it?

The mod needs to know about the existence of skillbooks to drop them, so if they don't already appear (i.e. they're not included in the common treasure tables), the only way to get them is either by creating a compatibility patch, or using a "cheat" mod (if it exists) or a 3rd party tool to add skillbooks directly.

Is there any way to force merchants from other mods to spawn in? I'd like to be able to use some of the modded classes I have in this but have no way to get their skillbooks currently.

incredibly cool and high-quality mod 12/10
I would like 1-2 more arenas, but otherwise everything is perfect

Best mod ever. I will give you money if we have new maps and enemies, could be incredible.

I'll take a look at these, thanks for the reports.

I have a lvl 21 necro im doing, Love it so far. Im killing everything and it's not even close, only complaint is no one is selling any rune frames of power. I only have 50ish int and it sucks.

One more potential bug, one character in my party died during a fight before level 4. When the party leveled up everyone got their second source point, save for the character who died. Potentially being dead or getting resurrected caused him to miss the flag for it I'm not sure. I'm going to roll it back and try to win without deaths.

Additional notes: This was a destroy the spirit chickens fight, he was dead when the last chicken was purged by source vampirism. All living characters gained their second source point on level up to 4.

The previous level-up fight to 3 had 3 fatalities, it was a survive event, no apparent issues were experienced.

Player characters should have a buff with a star icon that explains the rules. If this is not the case or the fight truly never ends, there's likely a mod incompatibility issue or a game-breaking bug. Let me know if either of these is happening and I'll investigate it.

Quick question, is there any information on what the modifiers are and how they work? I have just gotten my first "Undying" modified fight and i cant figure out how this isn't just a instant soft-lock because the tool-tip just explains enemies re-spawn ad infinitum.
Do i have to get a full team wide execute in one hit (extreamly demanding compared to other mods)?

Yeah, I agree! Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks! I thought I was going crazy. It's good to know that things will be fixed in the future. Love your mod, keep hard at it!

It would be wise if possible to keep as much variety as possible in the shop for mods like Crafting Overhaul, seeing that the general store sold soap randomly gave me hope that not only your mod makes the game feel fresh, but also adds an rng element to the most random items one person could need.

I think you're right: I've checked the treasure tables and the game categorizes the Long Branch as junk for some reason, so it won't even drop as part of the ingredients table. I'll probably include junks in the general trader's inventory in the next update, but until then you might randomly find Long Branches in arena reward chests, rank 1 (weak) enemies, and the Chest of Fortune. There is also a small chance to find them within the containers found inside the lobby, so you might want to check them as well.

I tested with different saves with and without mods, I am either very unlucky or it could be possibly missing. Seen a lot of items on repeat such as Short Sticks I'd assume Long Branches would be just as common as those since they are a very inexpensive ingredient.

I've re-rerolled a couple of times! No dice, are the drops pre-defined at creation of the game by chance? So that re-loading doesn't help it?

It should drop, unless it's missing from the related treasure tables for some reason. Are you sure it never drops, or it's possible you just didn't encounter it yet? These tables contain tons of items, so finding a specific item might be hard, even if you reroll them several times.

Is there a reason why the general store cannot drop long branches? It would be nice to have 'em for the crafting overhaul mod.

first there is bg3 roguelike mod, now this. cool stuff

Just checked: both hosting and joining works fine for me, so the issue is likely related to another mod or file corruption. The best I can recommend is to disable all other mods (if you have any) and verify integrity of game files. If that doesn't help, I suggest you to Google the issue and try any fixes you find. If you still can't make it work, I can help you debug the issue if you add me.

All players updated to v1.1.1.0 and any way we try to connect it gives the same error.
"Doesnt match servers"
I can send a screenshot if you need

Depends on what the specific issue is. Are you unable to join/host a multiplayer lobby? The first thing to check is if everyone is on the latest version of the mod. If you can confirm that and share some additional details about the issue, I'd be happy to take a closer look at it :)

Any updates on the multiplayer fix?

We've started looking at the possibilities, but no specific plans yet.

any update on if Unique Loot Drops is being integrated into this?

Can you confirm from the in-game mod menu that each of you are on the same version? Should be 1.1.1.0.

after today's update i cannot play multiplayer because of files corruption issues (seays the game), even after i uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game and the mod

That's great to hear, have fun! :)

Dude you are awesome! This is my first time playing it and I am blown away!

Yeah, you're right. I've just checked it and something went wrong while publishing the update to the workshop. I've republished it and tested that it's now working correctly, but you may need to manually move over the update after downloading it. Sorry for the inconvenience

Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\Mods

The mod is in this folder as well as the workshop folder, it does not appear in game.

There's an issue with Steam where it downloads workshop mods but doesn't place them in the game's mods folder. If this is what's happening, you need to manually move the file.

I cannot get the mod to show up in any mod list, have mod downloaded but it will not appear anywhere.

Currently you automatically level up after 5 battles, but the next update should change it so you gain some XP per battle instead.

Not getting any experience. Playing with Lone Wolf character with 4 player scaling. I'll test further when I have time.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I believe recognition and community engagement is what helps the most at this point. By showing the mod to your friends and providing feedback, you've already contributed by a lot, so thanks again!

Thanks so much! I've shown the mod to a few friends and it's so well done they can't believe it's not by the developers. If you had a donation link or something I'd happily toss some money your way as a thank you for hours of good fun.

Glad to hear you're having fun! I've checked the noise you mentioned and the desert ambient sounds used for the oasis arena contains a high-pitched sound of an exotic bird. I can see that being intrusive, so I've replaced it with a different one, but there are a few things I need to take care of in the mod before I can push the update.

As for the arena selection, it is completely random, and thus easy to see skewed results. I'd like to keep the randomness to some extent, but I'll think about either a weighted random selection or some kind of manual selection where you can choose one from multiple random options. Great suggestion!

One other question, it seems like the arena maps are heavily skewed in their chance to be chosen. The outdoor sand arena is by far the most common, followed by the beach island, followed by the clockwork arena. I have only ever seen the volcano map twice, and I've never seen the indoor sand arena featured in the first screenshot of the mod page. Am I just terribly unlucky? Would it be possible to implement a choose map feature?

This mod is absolutely amazing. It adds so much replayability to the incredible combat system that Divinity already has, it's incredibly easy to jump into with great features, and the formula of 5 progressively harder waves with a boss encounter than levelling up is incredibly intuitive. I also highly appreciate the chance to level your character at the start and skip to the level you want to play at!

My only gripe with this mod whatsoever, is that on the outdoor sand arena, there's a kitten sound that plays every few seconds. I have otherwise been totally addicted, but the more I play, the more I hear that meow, and it feels like it's haunting me.
