Description:
Rebalanced all game. Easy difficulty is Easy and Hard is Hard.
All item stats and locations are changed.
Most Skill stats are increased or changed.
Now if playing as mage, you will deal damage. Except for Hardcore mode, there it takes forever to kill an enemy at late game.
All NPCs has different stats. Made game a bit more challenging, at least for the beginning.
All NPCs will use better weapons as you progress in the game. Guards and Healers now won't die from one hit.
Every enemy will die when Impaled. Reason for this is, on Hardcore mode, killing one enemy required at minimum 5 minutes which is fun at the beginning but gets boring really fast.
Duncan has a special equipment.
I created a Newgame+ option but Ryan- did it in a much better way with optional Hardcore mode (Endurance by original name) from Unlimited Edition mod.
Because of compatibility reasons, I had to redo all my work on Unlimited Edition lump files, otherwise it was either my or his mod. Now you can use both, just install my mod after his.
Had a very nice armor balance, but because game has NewGame+ and how armor system works, had to revert it. If player had 20 armor points, enemies with lower damage weapons couldn't deal any damage at all. Armor system is great but not for this game.
Altered Skill cost and Skill Point rewards. Total of 195 Skill Points per game.
Every secret now rewards with one Skill Point, so now even useless secrets are worth to get as this has impact on how powerful player becomes.
Some secrets were not marked as secrets, now all of them are.
Added new weapons to the game. More or less, all class weapons now have same effects. Except for bows as Life Steal and Mana Steal works only on work which is useless.
Need to mention, Blades of the Spider Goddess (Weapon was already in game but bugged. After crazy amount of time, I finally got it to work as daggers)
Critical Hit damage increase was only 10%. Now Critical Hit deals double damage.
In map L06_B, where you encounter huge worm, it is possible to avoid it.
Fixed frame corners when pointing at interactable item for 4k resolution
Restored Chapter numbers and Titles in loading screens for 4k resolution.
Altered font colors and increased size for 4k. If you play with lower resolution, replace files from "Font_Size_Regular".
Sadly game has a lot of limits like it's impossible to add new rigs to work on ring slots. Only option was armor slot which I didn't like, so I gave up on this.
It was planned to add usable helmets in game, but it was never finished, thus helmets can only be acquired by cheating.
Permissions to use models from their creators were given years ago but I never finished or uploaded the mod.
Because of game limitations, mm_game_difficulty_easy set to 1 enables Normal difficulty. If set to 0, enables Easy difficulty, if mm_game_difficulty_hard is set to 0.
In file "game.cfg" you can change quality settings as some of them keep resetting on every launch.

Installation:
Extract "AddOn" folder to your game directory.
Open "gameinfo.txt" in "mm" folder and add line "Game AddOn" above first "Game" line

Uninstallation:
Delete "AddOn" from your game directory.
Open "gameinfo.txt" in "mm" folder and delete line "Game AddOn".

Warnings:
I still need to replace 3 staff models in game, but weapons are fully functional, just using Collector weapon models and icons.
Game still reverts to Easy mode if using map cheat code.
