Essential improvements

Patches

  • Patch 1.01 - this patch is already included in the Booster Pack as the pack brings the game to v1.05.

Booster Pack

Intro logo videos may only show black/grey screen with sound. Keep pressing ESC until you reach the main menu. The only way to fix this is to run the game in Windowed mode
The Booster Pack was a goodbye present to SEK's fans. The Pack contained 2 new heroes, 3 new missions and files for 9 wild animals as well as several bug fixes and an SDK for the game; however, the pack released was the beta version, so there were many bugs, including files missing for 1 of the wild animals, and it was only released in German.
Booster Pack and the SDK Editor

To enable the Booster Pack, create the shortcut of the Paraworld.exe with -enable boosterpack1 command line arguments.

<path_to_game>\bin\Paraworld.exe -enable boosterpack1 

To run the SDK Editor, create the shortcut of the PWClient.exe with -leveled -enable boosterpack1 command line arguments.

<path_to_game>\bin\PWClient.exe -leveled -enable boosterpack1

Translated Booster Pack with Community Fixes

Fan-translated versions of the pack which also contain several bug fixes caused by the beta version in the community patches as well as adding additional dinosaurs to the pack's SDK.
