was just wondering if anyone out there has played dungeon siege 2, i just got done playing it and i must say it was amazing, what is everyone elses thought on it?

i played for a while but then it crashed so i dont play anymore plus got starcraft 2 and that sux your time fast

I have all Dungeon Siege games and expansions, at the mo they are on my old PC, I haven't finished them yet. If you download the http://garage.gaspowered.com/?q=node/9313 you can have the camera get to eye level which is cool. To unlock the camera in DS1 you need to do this...

INSTRUCTIONS:

-open the siege editor
-from the "file" menu select "Convert .dsmap to Files"
-In the window that pops up hit the "..." button to browse for the expansion map named "Expansion.dsmap"
-the default locationis: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesDungeon SiegeDSLOAExpansion.dsmap "
-hit the "Open" button
-Make sure the the "Use default destination folder" is checked and the other two checkboxes are unchecked
-click "OK" (will take a few moments)
-Once it is done the status window will show Success!
-(if it shows failure, you're probably trying this a second time and it refused to overwrite the existing files)
-hit the "Close" button at the bottom
-minimize the Siege Editor
-Browse to the uncompressed map files, and find the "main.gas" file
(default loaction for XP: "C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorMy DocumentsDungeon
SiegeBitsworldmapsmap_expansionmain.gas")
-open the "main.gas" file with notepad. In the "main.gas" file is a section you need to replace
-find the "camera" section and replace it with this:
quote:


[camera]
{
f azimuth = 70.000000;
f distance = 13.000000;
f farclip = 70.000000;
f fov = 60.000000;
f max_azimuth = 85.000000;
f max_distance = 27.000000;
f min_azimuth = 1.000000;
f min_distance = 2.000000;
f nearclip = 0.100000;
f orbit = 0.000000;
position = 8.000000,4.000000,14.000000,0xF0AC542F;
}



-open the Siege Editor again
-from the file menu select: "Save Map as .dsmap..."
-the only thing in the window should be "map_expansion"
-click on (select) "map_expansion"
-warning: the checkboxs need to be in their default states - don't mess with them.
-click on "OK"
-wait for awhile
-(done)
-use explorer to browse to the modified map file
(default location: "C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorMy DocumentsDungeon SiegeMapsMapExpansion.dsmap"
-copy the map
-browse to the LoA map folder:
(default location: C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesDungeon SiegeDSLOA")
-(I hope you made a backup somewhere of the mapfile)
-replace the original "Expansion.dsmap" with the modified "Expansion.dsmap" (as in Paste)
