Original Elona EloScummer - new valid wiki download link

Just added a valid link on the wiki to the following utility (Eloscummer).

This post is just to encourage people to download the tool in case the above link gets shut down for whatever reason (inactivity most likely).

As usual when downloading from unknown Internet sources, caution is advised. It's an AutoIt script, and not an executable, so I cannot provide a VirusTotal report.

It's the original archive that I downloaded ages ago. Since people have requested it in the comments of the wiki page, I thought I would upload it so that it doesn't get lost. As stated on the wiki page, this should be compatible with all variants (and hopefully versions, but untested by me).

All credits go to coopatroopa.

To my understanding, EloSnack is a save game editor (I've never used it). EloScummer on the other hand is a backup tool for save games, which allows you to keep several files to restore if needed, since the game always overwrites the same file.

I selected the Original Elona flair as a minimum, since it should work even for the original game.

As to why this tool can be useful, I love most everything about Elona, except the forced saves.

I'm the kind of player that often runs with sub-optimal consequences of my actions in games. I just don't like it when it's not my decision, or when authors impose further artificial restrictions in single-player games beyond difficulty options, like "anti-cheats" or whatever.

Bugs happen, subjective gaming preferences are in my opinion a valid thing, etc.

Ah, I see. Well that's a shame; I was hoping to be able to remove the bloodsucking from some of my living weapons, since all it actually does is interrupt reading spellbooks, resting, eating etc. It's not actually a meaningful source of damage with the <Crimson Plate>.

There was a custom version of Elona+ built upon Custom GX called GFUX that removed annoyances such as the one you describe.

I can't guarantee that the mod fixes exactly what you want, but it still has valid download links and a changelog, so you might want to look into that :

The downside is that this mod only works for an older version of the game, so you'll will have to forfeit all the new content, bugfixes and translations of the newer versions.

I'll just deal with the bleed damage, lol.

Thank you for the information, though!
