The Island - Very Incomplete

ATTENTION! *THIS IS VERY INCOMPLETE*

Explore the breathtaking landscapes of an island in the Utraean Isles as you witness firsthand the downfall of one of Aranna's greatest civilizations.
-Place the DSRES and DSMAP files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Dungeon Siege\DSLOA\

Sorry to add another incomplete map/mod here, but I figured it anyone is interested, I would add the map and mod here. I'm not entirely sure how stable it is, as the last time I did any work on it was 3-4 years ago. The map itself is too big for adding here, so I created a google drive folder for it. As stated above, it is incomplete, but can still offer a decent singleplayer and somewhat solid multiplayer experience, with about half of the mapping done (the core areas are almost done, with side areas being the most incomplete). There should be starting areas for multiplayer as well, to allow access to different places on the map. The map starts at level 0, and goes up to the 100s, but no area is specifically meant for a certain level, as enemies are linked to generators which somewhat scale with the player.

As far as compatibility goes, this map messes with a fair bit of the games code, so it probably won't be compatible with much at all.

Additionally, some cool aspects are:
-Respawning enemies that level with the player: Based on generators, a radius, and level checking - not optimized for multiplayer
-A day/night cycle: This works on any map so long as you are using the DSRES file, and the maps lighting is set up to allow for changes
-New green set items
-Some new gear
-New enemies (custom reskins)
-Non linear world design, where players can journey to different parts of the map though various paths: Many sidepaths are incomplete
-Experimental work with booleans and actions affecting the world: in one area, clearing out the enemies will spawn a merchant and some guards.

If anyone wants to work on continuing this project, please feel free, though it will be a fair amount of work. I made a hand-drawn map of the world, as well as connections between various regions that I have to find so I can upload it. This should make journeying and finding new paths a bit easier. Additionally, if anyone wants to use anything in this project for their own project, again feel free... fair use blah blah blah.

I downloaded and will give it a go. Thanks!

I do not remember when I was here before, many years ago I think. The people and the landscape feel very familiar. Nice to have the files again.
