I buy domain gemsite.org, where will be moved this site, after i complete new version.

April - August ^[en]

For past few months, and possible in next 3 months, there will be no updates on site. I focus on getting done major script change under hood, so i will be able make changes in code more easily.

PS.: I hear that Dungeon Siege 3 was released :p , but this site is focused only on DS1, so don't try find something for DS3 here.

Some interesing mods:

• Meriwethen - minimap, very beatifull map, with simple, fully functional quest and with original music.
• Hard Cider Farm - minimap, small minimap built for new ranged players, or other new characters. Map is not for newbie, because there is a LOT of monsters. Map have 3 starting position for multiplayer. Good for team work training.

May

Pages have almost a complete administration for Download section. Some bugs was removed and some download added.

For mods and maps besides common data (filesize, number of downloads, etc.) will be stored also information about mod CRC, through which it will be possible in future to identify for example whether mods are compatible with the opponents mods, when playing via network. At the same time for mods and maps are provided also record for changes on the gameplaying.

The record "Changes" has values: Legit, Balanced, Neutral, Unbalanced, Cheat and Unknown. It will serve as a guide, when selecting modes with regard to character development. Legit, balanced and neutral are the changes that will not destroy the character in the sense that you would need less effort to get more experience. The unbalanced and cheat will be exactly the opposite. Mods changes will be discussed in the forum (in time). Until then i will set changes myself, or according to your written contributions.

Game Setting

After a month there is something new ...

A Article describing the game settings to give you maximum enjoyment from the game was added. Its describe the video card settings, startup options and commands in the game, including cheats. For the future, i want write a article how to run Dungeon Siege on the account with limited privileges, on Windows Vista, etc. But before that, there should be published a FAQ section.

Moreover, I worked on the administration interface.

Download section and articles

Download section its released. There is still lot a work, but most basic function is finished and functional. An important feature is "Changes" parameter. Parameter "Changes"  has this values: Legit, Balanced, Unknown, Unbalanced and Cheat - the meaning is quite self-description. Another novelty is the ability to determine whether the mod is not compatible with any other mods. (user-end not yet implemented)

In other sections were added two articles. The first describes the basics of game mechanics - how to calculate statistics in combat, experiences and points to some errors in the game. The second article is transcribed from the old site, and includes sets from DS and DS:LOA. These articles are not yet translated.

What's new...

First thig, you can already register. If there were any problems, it is possible that registering will be sometimes suspended, until the problem its solved.

The menu added further translated articles. Specifically: Titles from DS, guide for LOA, link to old forum (czech only) and basics for Multiplayer. Ad. Forum: there will be also multilangual forum .. in time.

The most important news is that we will have a replacement for Zonematch. Gemsite.cz hire a programator to create a program DS-Tray, which allows to monitor who host DS-game and all the necessary information. In addition, the application will be able store items from the inventory. This will allow us trade on the Web, and perhaps it will also expand DS community ;). The application will be issued in March.

First articles

In menu You find first three articles. They are even translated into english (somehow - be patience with my gibberish, or send me email and you get rights to edit articles ;)

Link for registration will be there before end of Month.
