I hope not ;), but indeed just recently some people checked out all the sounds in the game files and pointed me to a lot and a few NPC lines too, that were not heard, so I restored what was reasonable.

>improved King's Way level
How?

There was a hidden room that I made accessible, also I placed some furniture into empty rooms and improved lighting details.

I saw this room first time I decompiled the map...

Very nice!

Added hi-res Tseng shelf texture

Awesome, can't wait to try it! Still haven't played through with 10.3 yet lol

[Wesp5]

Awesome, can't wait to try it! Still haven't played through with 10.3 yet lol

Then please finish with 10.3 first, then as always saved games are not compatible!

[Happydeathclaw]

Ufff... just few days ago finished 10.3

[MadamePhoenica]

Then please finish with 10.3 first, then as always saved games are not compatible!

I hadn't even gotten around to starting a playthrough with 10.3 before 10.4 came out lol

[Barabbah]

That happen to me occassionally....

[DarkZephyr]

Is it possible that mods like "Seduce dialogs for males" could be incompatible with this particular update?

[Barabbah]

Yup. The only safe way to keep these mods is to do this:

- pick the old UP patch designed by the mod to work on
- install the old UP, if not already installed, rename the mod directory to something like "Unofficial_Patch_OLD"
- pick the new UP and install it
- pick the mod, extract in a folder (named for example "Base")
- in a second folder ("old UP mod files") copy, from the old patch directory, all the files the mod should had modified (if not present on the mod directory pick it from the vanilla files/archives in the "Vampire" folder, if present)
- in a third folder ("new UP mod files") copy the same files but from the new directory (and in case the vanilla directory)
- now use any program to detect copied files (like "Searchmyfiles" or one of the extra utilities on CCleaner) and use it on both "old UP mod files" and "new UP mod files"
- whenever the program detect two files identical (and by that I mean with the same directory structure) delete both

If none where left then the mod should work. Otherwise:

- compare each couple of files manually. If comparing text files, like dialogs, Notepad++ with the compare files plugin (if not already present) is a life safer
- pick the respective file for each inspection in the "Base" directory and add every modification, wherever is present, into the file

It should work now. If not then other files in the new UP changed the file paths necessary for the mod. Then you must find out where is the problem. Good luck with that.

Did it before alot, now before installing (yet another) new UP I usually save all the stuff I don't want to be changed and then put it back with overwriting everything.

Well, keep in mind this works better with completely changed files (like textures). But if you have a file like a dialog, where modders usually modify only a small part, if the unmodded sections had a bug corrected in the newer patch you have to do this job. Specially if new content is added on the UP plus and only in dialogs you can see them.
