FCR2 Missing Items Fix

Be it by accident or by design, there are a lot of items that are missing from the game in FCR2 (see the the list below). This mod brings them back by making them available for purchase at the Innkeepers of all Acts. To avoid overpowering the game, items have been set to become available only in the same Act as they naturally appear the Vanialla game (for example, ActIII items won't be purchasable in ActI).

Unlike other xml based mods available on the Nexus, this one was made specifically for FCR2. Meaning, the xml files I used to make this mod came straight out of FCR2 so it will not mess with FCR2's stats (which would not be the case if you use non-FCR2 specific xml mods).

If you don't have FCR2 installed, don't use mod as it will change your vanilla stats and mess up your vanilla stats. Needless to say, if you decide to uninstall FCR2 at some point, don't forget to remove this mod.

Missing Items Restored by this Mod:
------------------------------------
- DLC items are back! Blue Stripes Commando Jacket (which has excellent stats by the way), Herbalist Gloves and Magic Pants
- Diagram for both Kayran and Hunter's Armor available in ActI
- Dragonscale Armor, Armor of Loc Muinne, Ban Ard Armor and Quilted Armor available in ActII
- Diagram for Armor of Ys and Ysgeth Armor available in ActIII with trollskin for sale for Ys. Without Ysgeth Armor, you can't make the Vran Armor.
- If you noticed something else that I missed an item. PM me and I'll add it (just keep in mind I'm trying to bring back items that Flash omitted and not make an Innkeeper cheat).

Option 1: Hoodless Kayran Mod FCR2 compatibility patch
------------------------------------------------------
-you'll have the option of installing a FCR2 compatibility patch for the Hoodless Kayran mods available on the Nexus. You'll need this FCR2 compatibility patch for those mods because if you use the xml files that they give you, you'll mess up your armor stats in FCR2. This probably should have it's own page but seeing how the diagram for Kayran was removed by flash, you'll need to install the item fix mod anyway. Here's a list of the available Hoodless Kayran mods:

dragonbird's mod (my personal favorite Kayran mod): http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher2/mods/223/?).
supmatic 1 (my favorite armor modder if not my fav Kayran): http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher2/mods/280/?
supmatic 2: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher2/mods/349/?

Option 2: Wild Hunt and Draug Armor in Act II:
----------------------------------------------
- Components needed to make Draug armor are made available earlier than FCR2/Vanilla at the Inkeeper of ActII (so you could make it at the
beginning of ActII instead of ActIII when there will better and more interesting Armors available).
- Wild Hunt armor set was initially available in ActI in early version of TW2 but was later removed by CDPR because they deemed it overpowering. I simply dug up the schematics for it and placed an at the Inkeeper of ActII instead of ActI. The models  for this armour set are not unique. The set is effectively a less poweful version of Vran's armor with the Elder Blood set. If you like the way those armors look, this is one way of getting that look early in the game without the overpowering stat of end game armor. See Vran and Elderblood mods below for way of making these items look way nicer then vanilla. There are two textures mods for VRAN so you can install one texture while you're playing with the Wild Hunt set and install the other texture when you upgrade to VRAN Armour.

Installation Instructions:
-------------------------
- Base Install: Open the "Base Install" folder and copy the contents into your the Witcher 2 main directory. Merge with CookedPC. If there are file conflicts during move, it means that you already have another mod installed(which you shouldn't unless it's FCR2 compatible). Backup any conflicting xmls before overwriting.
- Option 1: If you want to use the moded hoodless armors, copy the contents of the "Option 1 - Hoodless Kayran" folder. Just be sure to install the Hoodless Kayran mod before you install my compatibility patch or their xml will overwrite mine.
- Option 2: If you want the earlier Draug armor and the Wild Hunt Armor, copy the contents of the "Option 2 - Wild Hunt Set and Early Draug" folder.

Uninstall (be sure to do this if you've uninstalled FCR2):

- Delete ...\CookedPC\items\def_shops.xml and def_item_armor.xml
- If you've backed up xml files during the installation put them back.
