Template:Infobox Torchlight (series)
Key points
- Linux version only available through Ubuntu Software Centre.
- Amazing modding capabilities
General Information
Availability
- The demo is available on the official website.
Best Version
- For Windows users, the GOG.com version of Torchlight is the best because it is DRM-free and includes extra downloads including artwork, soundtrack and a level editor.
- For Mac users, the retail version of Torchlight is the best, it is still DRM-free, but only includes an artbook, which is comparable to the GOG.com version.
- For Linux users, the Ubuntu Software Centre version of Torchlight is the only version available, and therefore the best. WINE emulation also works very well[1].
Improvements
Official patch
- The latest official patch is v1.15. It can be found on the official website.
Mods
- Torchlight is designed to be extremely friendly and open to modders and has an extensive and strong modding community. Almost everything can be modded in; from translations, graphics and sound to maps, classes and conversions.
- TorchED level editor can be found at GameFront.
- Most mods are found on the Runic Games Fansite.
- Mods are located in game's application data.
HotSpot
- This is a portable Torchlight mod manager for Windows. Using this tool, users can immediately download and install mods from Runic Games Fansite directly into the mods directory.
- Currently in beta, v2.0.
- Planned for future:
- Mac and Linux compatibility
- Mod packaging ability
- Torchlight II support
- Full features list is available on the RGF forums.
Obsolete mod managers
Recommended mods
- These are all conservative mods that only change the game in small areas and essentially conserve the original gameplay.
- SSS Torchlight Texture Project - Retextures most of Torchlight
- GenderMod - Adds opposite gender variants of existing classes
- Merchant Pack - Adds additional merchants
- Better Balanced Sale Prices - Balances the amount of gold acquired when selling
- Total Respec Mod - Adds 10 different respec potions into the game for resetting character's stats and skills.
Utilities
- Utilities can be found at Runic Games Fansite.
- These are not mods so don't download them with HotSpot.
TorchKit
- This is a Windows-only portable settings and mod configuration editor for Torchlight which uncovers all hidden settings from "settings.txt", (but not local_settings.txt or Ogre.txt) configuration file which includes camera shake, blood, keybindings, automap zoom etc.
Other notable utilities
- TorchlightCam - Enables camera control
- Torchlight Multiplayer - Enables Internet and LAN multiplayer (only works on Steam; possibly obsolete)
