About this mod

More detailed tooltips

Requirements
Permissions and credits
More Detailed Tooltips is an extension/sequel to Bibdy's original mod.

It includes tooltips for DLC including The Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, Return to Ostagar, Dragon Age: Awakening, Golems of Amgarrak and Witch Hunt, item properties, item sets, and a large number of additions and corrections to Bibdy's work (including all of his To-Do section). It is also based off the tlk table for patch 1.04, both to keep it up to date and so that I'm technically starting from a fresh source rather than copying existing work.

Contains a total of 1036 changed strings across 12 talk tables, compared to the patch 1.04. It also overrides 13 rows of abi_gxa (those pertaining to poultices, lyrium potions and stamina draughts).

There are 3 versions included for use with my my fixpack. These reflect the vanilla state of the game (including documenting all bugs), with all fixes installed, and with all fixes and tweaks installed. Unfortunately since talk tables are a monolithic object I can't make it modular like the fixpack is.

To install, unzip the chosen version and place into Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override. Do not use multiple. To uninstall, delete from that directory.

COMPATIBILITY
This won't be compatible with any other mods that modify the same talk tables. This includes the original Detailed Tooltips - only use this mod.
Any mods overwriting set items that include the description as a string will use that string rather than the talk table entry. Quinn's fixpack notably does this for all heavy armor gloves for some reason, so they will have the vanilla description.

KNOWN ISSUES
* Some runes currently missing some info, mostly durations.
* Poison info still vague once applied.
The above will require fairly extensive overrides of UTIs and abi and itemprops 2DAs, so no current plans to implement these.

CHANGELOG

V2.0
* Split into 3 versions for use with Dain's Fixes, and made vanilla document all bugs accordingly
* Added (no effect) to item properties that do nothing; these are changed accordingly in fix/tweak versions
* Fair number of corrections and inclusions of some omitted details (39 in total)

V1.2
* Fixed Heavy Plate Armor and Dusk Ring missing set details
* Added set details for Warden's Keep versions of Heavy Plate, Heavy Chainmail, Splintmail and Studded Leather sets
* Added descriptions for fade transformations and golem form talents
* Added support for Darkspawn Chronicles (Ogre and Wolf talents, Vanguard and Darkspawn plate armor sets)
* Corrected "Rite of Annulment" to "Right of Annulment" in the codex. References to "Rite" will still remain in the campaign but I don't want to override the entire campaign talk table just for that.

V1.1
* Added item sets
* Added Awakening potions (adds abi m2da fragment)

V1.0
* Original release
