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

Im really enjoying this modlet, thank you.

Some quick questions for clarification on my own part... Im trying to figure out the flow chart in my head of how Spellcasts, Essence, Runes, "mods", and perks all match up.

Hi, glad you're enjoying it! Happy to clarify... quite frankly, a Wiki is definitely needed as we're only gonna grow from here!

 

SPELLCAST(S): The weapon used to "cast spells"; load spells of its elements into it.

ESSENCE: Harvested and "fed" to a Conjure as a resource to craft Fire, Ice, Lightning Spells, Armor, Runes and other elemental sorceries.

 

RUNES: Sorcery exclusive "mods" typically possessing Sorcery abilities, functionality, effects.

 

In general, I understand the concept of stacks but Im not sure if this is visibly represented by the rotating orbs near zombie's feet or if this is something totally different.

ELEMENTAL STACKS

You're correct, "stacks" of any kind are represented by the Rotating Elemental Orbs found at the feet.

 

• Stacks are applied by base spells only (Fire, Ice, Lightning), unless you have special abilities/mods/armor changing that.
  
• Stacks are a damage and chance multipliers for just about all spells and effects (very important for higher tier spells).
  
• Stacks expire after several seconds of no Fire / Ice Spell hits.
  

 

** A good strategy is cast a upper tier spell and "stack up" using base spells to amplify damage/effects

 

 

The description of the fire spellcast lists a primary function, secondaries, and passives which are unlocked via Perks.

 

Also, if I hold right mouse button I start flaming up but again Im not sure what Im doing, if anything, other than burning stamina/spirit. I have yet to unlock the meteor fall/jump or the super speed but the description says while channeling/casting. To add to this, Fire Mastery perk mentioned "alterations" to spellcasts. Is this related to modding the spellcasts or something else. Then if I "mod" a spellcast by adding a rune, this adds a chance to proc an addition debuff/dmg bonus?

SPELLCAST ABILITIES

PRIMARY: "Spellcasting" refers to holding your Primary Action Button (Spell in hand FX).

 

SECONDARY: "Channeling" refers to holding your Secondary Action Button (visual effects when enabled). Base Channel power of a Spellcast is increased damage and spell projectile speed.

 

SPELLCAST MASTERY: Unlocks the the ability to learn Fire, Ice, Lightning exclusive Spellcast abilities, just as you unlock the ability to "alter"/learn Spell abilities via their Mastery: Fire, Ice, Lightning. Just as with Spells, once "unlocking" via Spellcast Mastery, you'll still need to "Learn" the ability of the Spellcast you wanna use.

 

E.x. "Cauterize" of the Fire Spellcast requires: Spellcast Mastery Level 2 because you can't "alter"/unlock/learn any abilities until then.

 

 

Hope that helps shine some light! At some point, I'll start building and provide a proper Wiki.

Good Jop @Devrix.U rly awesome

 

Umm When i click try to continued (in d.falls) get game crash but maybe my bad

Are you using 17.2 (b27) of the game and latest version of DF?

Make sure you're following the Modlet install instructions for Sorcery and dropping the Sorcery folder into the Mods folder of DF directly (additionally, you'll need to follow the Localization instructions for installing). If all else fails, I'd recommend a clean install/resync with Steam.

 

Hello, we hope that one day it is compatible with Ravenhearst

I plan on looking into adding Ravenhearst compatibility once its updated to the latest game version. Sorcery relies heavily on the latest buff system features (Spells).

[The 7D2D Mod Launcher - A Mod Launcher for 7 Days to Die]

Sorcery is now integrated into The 7D2D Mod Launcher

 

Thanks to @sphereii's hard work, Sorcery is now fully integrated into the Mod Launcher!

 

You'll find it in the Mods list of the newest launcher version.

 

If you're new to using the launcher, visit the Sorcery thread for detailed instructions.

 

Don't forget to thank sphereii for his hard work... enjoy!

[Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...]

Darkness Falls and Sorcery Fully Compatible

 

Darkness Falls (17.2/latest) and Sorcery are now fully compatible!

 

Simply follow the modlet install steps of Sorcery and replace directories with your Darkness Falls install and enjoy.

 

As always, backup your saves first just in case of an apocalyptic abnormality!

 

How to easily install Sorcery with Darkness Falls:

Ill leave this here:

<<How do i mix the 2 mods?

 

sphereii:

In Darkness Falls, click on Manage Modlets, and search for Sorcery. Click on Download.

Voila!

Localization may not work on all mods.

Thanks, @voodoov and @sphereii. Added to this a little, but sphereii's instructions are definitely a step easier than taking the complete manual modlet install route... just be sure to get that Localization in there or Sorcery will essentially be unplayable:

This works perfectly, then you can copy the Localization.txt contents for Sorcery over to the Darkness Falls Localization so you have crucial text in-game:

 

Copy Sorcery Modlet Localization into Darkness Falls Localization after installing:

1. Open Localization.txt found in this directory after installing Sorcery Modlet with DF: (C:\7D2D\Alpha17\Darkness_Falls\Darkness_Falls\Mods\Sorcery\Localization.txt)
   
2. Copy ALL Localization text: CTRL+A then CTRL+C.
   
3. Open DF Localization.txt: (C:\7D2D\Alpha17\Darkness_Falls\Darkness_Falls\Data\Config\Localization.txt)
   
   
4. Paste Copied Sorcery Localization at the very end / new line: CTRL+V / Paste.
   
5. SAVE: CTRL+S ...you're all set!
   

​** This will have to be done for every DF and Sorcery update (that changes Localization), but at least it works! Perhaps we'll be blessed with native support for this later.

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

is the first page install upgraded too? and do we have to start a new game?

Yes, the main thread is updated. No need to start a new game.

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

1) About the localization copy paste. Can't we use a xpath "append" command to do so ?

 

2) Magic alteration: Is it possible that casting ice spell on water changes it to snow, and the contrary with fire spell ? Same with burnt tree etc

 

3) About magic resources:

- Would it be a good idea to link the spell power/ recharge with the surrounding biome even more ? Each magic would be more powerful in a biome (eg ice in snow, fire in burnt forest...) - with whatever mechanism (resources, grounds amplifying some magic and reducing others ...). We would then favor some magic depending on the biome we start on, but then would raise difficulties when moving to another biome. For instance an ice wizard in the desert would only be powerful when near water, an ice wizard in the snow would require torch / molotov /burning barrel etc.

1. Unfortunately that's impossible atm; this is a restriction by the game infrastructure itself.
   
2. Technically, there could be a few tricks to achieve a similar effect. ATM, you'll see when playing, there are impact effects that'll "catch an area /entity on fire" or "freeze an area/entity" on impact. This is probably as far as I'll be taking it for moment in order to focus on other areas.
   
3. This is currently planned and in the works; spells will "empower" during biome specific events and effects, such as storms.

How to Update Sorcery:

 

You update Sorcery just as you install it, with one difference regarding the Localization step. Again, 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).

 

1. Download: Sorcery.zip (0.65)
   
2. Unzip: Sorcery.zip directly into your Mods folder (\7 Days To Die\Mods). Create the Mods folder here if it doesn't already exist.
   
3. Verify Mod Path: (\7 Days To Die\Mods\Sorcery)
   
4. Open Localization: (\7 Days To Die\Mods\Sorcery\Localization.txt)
   
5. Copy All Text: CTRL+A then CTRL+C (or right-click: Select All then Copy)
   
6. Open Game Localization: (\7 Days To Die\Data\Config\Localization.txt)
   
7. DELETE OLD SORCERY LOCALIZATION TEXT: 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.
   
8. Paste New 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)
   
9. Verify & Save: If everything looks good, Save the Localization.txt file: CTRL+S
   
10. AWAKEN ESSENCE: You're ready to play as a post-apocalyptic harbinger of the elements... may your training commence!

I've been rocking Sorcery hard this past week. Slammed it together with Devrix Tool EXP, Firearms Expansion, Flamethrower, and Summerset Villa . It works well and my inner pyromancer is very happy. Looking forward to friday 0.65. Oh with the new gear will we be getting magic melee fists if we enchant the gloves right?

@Morphan thanks for your feedback.... happy to hear Sorcery is satisfying your inner pyromancer!

 

As teased earlier, the Rune Mods are very powerful and add a ton of new and potential gameplay. Although these are starting out as requiring a "Spellcast" weapon, there are future plans to integrate Sorcery into all weapon types:

Hey nice mod!

 

How exactly do you perform the transmutation ritual? Also the level 4 and 5 bits don't seem to be dropping unless there's a specific thing I'm supposed to be farming.

 

Other than those two things, which may be my fault, it seems to be working perfectly.

Thanks, the Transmutation Rituals are disabled atm.

In order for Level 2-5 Essence to drop, you must put points into Fire/Ice Mastery. Once you do that, they'll have a rare chance to drop off all the same sources as the others (see Essence Guide on main thread).

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

It does appear that there are issues with Sorcery and every backpack size mod I've tried. I think I'll have to modify some things to prevent this. Sadly my play testing is dead in the water for now.

@Krazzykid2006, I can look into a simple workaround for this. The "Conjures" simply use a modified Forge interface. Expanded Backpack mods probably move around the layout of the Forge and other crafting stations. We can easily adapt to or create a patch for this. Which backpack mods did you try?

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

Sadly can't get this to work on 17.2 stable

 

I just have bags in my hands and when I try to click nothing happens. Don't get any errors. Don't even get the starter quest.

Hi Elsher, there shouldn't be any issues with 17.2; most likely another element at play, let's take a look:

1. Do you have any other mods installed?
   
2. Are you trying a new game or existing world?
   
3. Are you trying to cast spells directly from your hands (bags in hands)?
   
   • Spells must be cast through a "Spellcast" weapon, not directly
