FtG Codex ToC v1.0
===============

Author: FollowTheGourd.
Project Name: FtG Codex ToC.
Project Home Page: http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1174.
Mod Version: v1.0.
Game Version: v1.03.
Release Date: May 2, 2010.
Description: Instead of looking through tooltips for specific Codex entries,
you now get a linked table of contents for each section. Click a
selected entry to unselect it and get the table of contents back.

BUGS
===========

In the mod:
-----------
* There is an unavoidable, minor cosmetic issue because of the game's UI system and cascading
style sheets.

If you scroll the text field or move the mouse cursor very quickly across the codex links,
then the link's hover color may not update until you move out and then back onto a link again.

You will, however, always click the correct link. It's just the color may not have updated.


In the game:
------------
Game patch v1.03 seems as
if it may have introduced a host of them on its own:

* Character portraits not displaying the mana or stamina.
* More crashing (reportedly during fights - may have something to do with pausing).
* Virulent walking bomb lost its tooltip description.
* The damage score in the inventory is not updated when disarming until you open the
character sheet.
* Probably other stuff. So if you see an issue, please see if it's reproducible with
this mod disabled.


Compatibility
=============

* Do not install this mod if you have my other mod, FtG UI Mod, installed. In fact,
if you have FtG UI Mod v2.0 Beta 2 or higher, then this mod is included but disabled
by default. FtG UI Mod comes with a configuration utility to enable this mod's features.

* There shouldn't be any other mod incompatibilities at this time.


Installation
============
1) Double click the file �FtG Codex ToC � v1.0.dazip�.
2) Select the row with the mod, and then click the button Install Selected.
3) After the mod installs, close the updater window.

If the mod doesn't appear to be active in game, then follow these instructions:
1)In the game's main menu, select Downloadable Content.
2)Open the Installed Content tab.
3)Look for the entry �FtG Codex ToC ~ v1.0�.

Here are some possibilities:
1) If it's unchecked, then recheck it and restart the game to ensure the mod is properly loaded,
even though it doesn't prompt you to restart.
2) Make sure you have game patch v1.03 installed or the mod will not load. I can backport this to
earlier versions if I can find people willing to test it on them.

3) If you have FtG UI Mod installed, then that mod will take precedence over this one. Either
disable it or enable this mod's features in FtG UI Mod using its config utility.



How to Disable the Mod
==============

1) Select Downloadable Content from the game's main menu.
2) Click the Installed Content tab.
3) Uncheck �FtG Codex ToC ~ v1.0� in the content list.
4) Restart the game to ensure that all UI resources have been properly reloaded by the game.


Changelog
=========

May 2, 2010:
* Initial Release


Redistribution
==============

All I ask is this: please make it an OPTIONAL installation and keep intact all
the files included with this mod - which include the READMEs, manuals, and
configuration utilities. It's a pain to make sure that future versions of this
mod won't conflict with itself if people have renamed override versions floating
around. That being said, it'd be better to redistribute only the dazip version,
as override versions are provided as a convenience and have a greater chance of
conflicting with future versions if a user is unaware that it's installed or
where it is - which could easily happen if included in a mod pack.
