/* ***************************************************************************** Dungeon Siege 2: Add Lectern for Broken World ____________________________________________ Mod Title: Add Lectern for Broken World (experimental) Author(s): KillerGremal/F3 Mod Version Number......................: Alpha 3 Release Date............................: July-2006, last update 9-Nov-2006 Mod Size (approx.)......................: 15 kb Contact Information (email / forum...)..: KillerGremal: http://garage.gaspowered.com/?q=node/4833 Web Site (for the mod / author...)......: http://ds2.bplaced.net/mods/ ******************************************************************************** * Description If you have now no a char at appropriate level to start playing the Broken World map, then you have to choose choose an empty 'pre-made' char. Unfortunately there are no possibilities to find chants on Broken World map, so this mod now adds a lectern to every Incantation Shrine so you are able to complete your chants collection during gameplay. Sometimes that lectern is empty sometimes it even contains a more advanced chant version. ******************************************************************************** * Known Bugs Although this (experimental) mod is intended to work specially for Broken World this mod will make shrines impassable if used with the DS2 v2.3 (addon/BW). However there is no problem for maps based on original DS2 v2.2, there lecterns will be added correctly (due to alpha testing there is no map restriction) and incantation shrines will remain accessible. Meanwhile this feature has been implemented in 'Aranna Legacy' (pure addon mod) where this shrine matter is fixed. That's the reason why alpha 3 still bases upon v2.2 and intentionally does not cooperate with v2.3. For alpha 3 generally only a function library and this file have been updated. ******************************************************************************** * Installation Instructions - Offical procedure: Download and install the DS2 Toolkit, then rename this Mod file to *.ds2mod and save it in the folder: "My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2 Mod\Mods" Then run DungeonSiege2Mod.exe to play the game.
