Been Playing through Torchlight again on PC (I beat the Xbox Live version, but for some Reason I like it on PC better)

Anyways, I learned the Level I "Fireball" spell awhile ago, and I recently found the Lvl III and Lvl IV "Fireball" spell scrolls, but when I go to learn the spell by right-clicking on the scroll in my inventory like it says to, Nothing happens. In my spell book, it still says Fireball Lvl I. So my question is, why can't I get my character to learn the Lvl III or Lvl IV Fireball spell ? I am lvl 33 or 34, something like that, so I kno I am more then high enough, level wise. The only thing I can think of, is that I need to learn them in order from lvl I to IV maybe. So if that's the case, then I need to find the Lvl II Fireball Spell Scroll. Is this true ? Or is there some other reason it's not letting me learn Lvl III or IV ?
 
Tried that, awhile ago, didn't work. I am pretty stumped, no matter what I do, i cant get the version of the Fireball spell i currently kno to go from lvl I to lvl IV or even lvl III. I am really starting to think that maybe I do need to learn them in order, but I can't seem to find the lvl II fireball Scroll.

Also, I had a question about a quest chain. The "Quest for Glory" quest chain. In the quest info, the champion it says to slay, is never the one you actually seem to slay to complete the quest. Whenever it says Quest complete, its always after Slaying someone with a different name then what the quest info says. Like the one I am on right now, says to slay Earthmangler the Unholy. But I can not find that name in the FAQ i have, which list all of the quests in that chain, who to slay, and what floor its on. And like i said, whenever i complete one of the quests in the chain, its after slaying a Champion that is not the one Named in the quest info. Whats up with that. Is that just a gltich maybe, or do they do it on purpose to f**k with you ? lol
 
no you don't need to learn them in order, you can up/downgrade to whatever level scroll you have. I think you just need to un-learn the old one first to free up the slot, then it will work.

those quest targets names are randomly generated, so it would not match the walkthroughs. just kill the guy and get your loot. they're kind of boring imo, the hero mods are much better. all sorts of user created missions and maps you can do, with custom loot as well.

That has to be the problem - you can only have 4 spells learned at a time. To free ip a spot, control click on one of the spells (on your character page I believe) and it will unlearn it.
 
What are the "Hero Mods" you mentioned ? And where can I download them ? is it pretty much just user created DLC/Mods ?

check the steam forum stickies, there are a few major mod db sites that aggregate most of it.

runicgamesfansite.com also has a mod manager (torchleech) that can dl and organise them all for you, also useful to check for conflicts when some of the mods have duplicate files. they're easy to install manually, there's a dedicated mod folder in your userdocs where the save fiiles are that you can just drop all the packages into.
 
Having trouble getting mods installed, whats the process for installing them for torchlight ? I downloaded teh recommended Torchlight Mod Manager, but when i tru to launch Torchlight using it, it says there was an "Unexpected Exception" and then goes back to desktop.
 
How do I get the mods installed. I found a folder in the Torchlight install Directory (I dont have it installed through steam) that says mods, do I just download the mod, and drop the folder into that folder ?
 
well it was playing fine last nite, and now i just dropped a mod I downloaded for additional Gem types, into the mod folder I found, and now when i try to open Torchlight, it wont work, it just goes to a black screen and starts to act like its gonna load, but then it stop responding and I have to Ctrl+alt+del to close it. So I removed the folder of the mod i dropped in, and it still not working, so I don't kno if the mod was what happened or something jsut got corrupted. Either way, this is pissing me off, I've never had a problem using mods on any games in the last 20yrs of being a gamer !
 
go to run menu or path -
%appdata%\runic games\torchlight\save

those are your char saves, should be 0.svt if you only have one. delete it, then rename backup.tmp to 0.svt (or whichever one you're trying to fix). torchlight saves a backup in addition to the main save whenever you make any progress, so you can just replace it with the last good one if you load something that breaks it.

I would look elsewhere though since these mods don't usually mess with your files, if you just use the drop-in ones and not total conversions. I have over 30 mods installed in mine and they've never messed up a save before.
 
Yea i figured it out. I am still having trouble figuring out how to get these mods and custom maps to work tho. I kno that they are at least being read by the game, cause after dropping a couple of them in the mods folder for torchlight, i loaded the game up, and at the main menu it says, "The mods enabled do not match the current saved game. Continue at your own risk". And one of them is the additional gems mods, which adds new, and better types of gems, but I dont see any new ones at the Gem vendor, and no new ones have been dropped yet. I also added a custom map, but I have no idea how to get it to work, or what I am supposed to do, to be able to go to the new dungeon. So can anyone help me figure this out please,lol.
 
I think I figured it out, cause some of them are noticeably working now. Like the Strangeland map one works, except you need ot be high level otherwise you are gonna die super quick, cause the Enemies that are right at the start of the dungeon are all level 50 and up, and my main character is only level 37 or something like that. I installed a few gem ones, and I've seen a few new gems pop up, which I think the mod mostly makes them drop in the dungeons, as well as have some randomly appear at the vendors. And I just installed the "Jedi Mod" and that one definitely works, gives a new character class of Jedi, and you also can have a lil R2-D2 as your pet lol and you rock a lightsaber and everything, its friggin hella sic. If you haven't tried that one out, you should, and there is also some other Star Wars mods, like a Sith one, but you have to make sure you have the main Jedi Mod installed before using the other ones. So yea, i Guess it is working, except for the Wamingos Map one, cause from what I understand, its supposed to make a new map scroll available at the vendor, just like the Strangeland one does, but the stock scrolls and the one from the Strangeland mod, is the only ones showing up, so I don't kno whats up with that one.

So now, i was hoping someone could recommend (and give me the link for it) some good custom maps to download and drop into my mod folder, I think I am at the end of the main quest with my main character so I wanna start playing around with user made maps (as well as make my own, I just got the Torchlight Map Editor last nite, gonna start messin around with it soon) So yea, hook it up with some links to some good custom maps, and any other mods any of you think are worth while.
