Pacov/Kalel's QA testing for Sorian's current DG mods - boots of better speed and the fire TB fix - see for results

November 20, 2009 4:47:11 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I ran several test scenarios with Kalel's assistance to better understand how the modding system works and used 2 of Sorians mods for these tests...boots of better speed

The boots of better speed mod can be found here: http://sorian-ai-mod.googlecode.com/files/Boots%20of%20better%20speed.zip as discussed here: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/369563

The fire tb fix mod can be found here:  http://sorian-ai-mod.googlecode.com/files/Fire%20TB%20Fix.zip as discussed here:  http://forums.demigodthegame.com/369610.

No, only the host can enable sim-mods.

It would be useful if maybe the name of the missing/outdated mod could be displayed.

And are the Better Boots of Speed balanced?

No, you just have to extract the archive into the bindata/mods folder of Demigod.

If you have Vista, the built-in extractor is extremely nice.

I personally use WinRar but my second favorite is 7-Zip.

Anyway use whatever suits you.

It is. When you hover over a game any mods that you are missing have an asterisk(*) next to them. There is even a pop-up window that tells you that if you try to join a game that is using a mod that you don't have.
