INSTALLATION:

Extract the files to dragon age origins/packages/core/override (leaving them in their folders is preferable). To uninstall, delete. Due to some changes in the way ZDF is fixed, it is very important to delete any old version of ZDF, and of party_banter_5 (either version) if you are currently using that file as a standalone.

If the /override folder does not exist, create it.

Note: The way ZDF now fixes Alistair at the gates regarding whether he knows of the dark ritual or not has changed dramatically. He now will know, properly, about the ritual. It is possible for him to perform the ritual without knowing the purpose of the ritual, so even if he performed it, he may not know what it does (and this will show at the gates). You may notice some differences in the dialog when talking to Alistair about the dark ritual.


*to make compatible with other mods*

Dialog Tweaks: Use the Dialog Tweaks compatible version of ZDF. If using the manual version of Dialog Tweaks, delete leliana.dlg/dlb and zevran_main.dlg/dlb from the Dialog Tweaks .93a folder.

GateKisses: Delete party_events.dlg/dlb from the ZDF Base folder. NOTE: Gatekiss does not handle Alistair knowing/not knowing about the ritual in the same way as this version of ZDF. It should not cause any game stopping bugs, however.

Alistair Combined Romance Scenes: Delete from ZDF's Alistair folder:
alistair_main.dlg/dlb from the Alistair folder
63010_party_camp_kiss_dwarf.cut/cub
63010_party_camp_kiss_ef.cut/cub
63010_party_camp_kiss_hf.cut/cub

Charsen's kisses: From Charsen's kisses folder (leave mine intact), delete:
zevran_kiss_ef.cub
zevran_kiss_ef.cut
zevran_kiss_ef_two.cub
zevran_kiss_ef_two.cut

ZevRing: Delete my zevran main fixes folder. I suggest downloading my ZevRing optional addon as I repair quite a few bugs. If you download it, if using the manual version of ZevRing, delete zevran_main.dlg and zevran_main.dlb from the ZevRing folder in addition to my Zevran Main Fixes folder, and extract the correct version (DT or non-DT) into the ZDF folder.

Morrigan Restoration Patch Fix Pack. ZDF and MRPFP are now compatible -- all overlapping files are identical.



I no longer have repairs to Morrigan_main.dlg in ZDF proper. This is available as an optional update, but as Terra_Ex does a much better job with Morrigan in his mod, I recommend using his instead.


Here is a full description of the files and the changes they make:

ZDF base files:

-You now get Zevran's proper dialog at the City Gates. If he's in love, you no longer get his "friendly" dialog and if he's at friendly, you no longer get his "warm" dialog.
-If Alistair is hostile and in your party at the gates, his dialog no longer cuts off prematurely, ending the entire scene. You now will get his entire dialog, and the dialog of your love interest.
- Zevran's discussion with a human noble who is marrying Alistair/Anora no longer can trigger anywhere, leading to a glitched screen. It now can only be triggered in camp, as intended.
-Alistair no longer refers to himself as king if he isn't king at the city gates. His "in love" and "still in love" dialogs should also appear as appropriate.
-Alistair should no longer know about the ritual if the warden performed it.
-Alistair can now perform the ritual without knowing what it was about if the warden does not tell him the purpose (thank you so much, Terra_Ex, for making the changes in the script to enable this).
-If Morrigan is in love and left at the gates, her dialog will no longer cut off before she says her final goodbye.

Zevran Main:

-Zevran now will not refer to a female warden as a man during his jealousy talk regarding Leliana. However, he now gives the same response as he does to a female warden he has not had sex with with associated approval differences.
-All first time sexytime responses lead to a kiss.
-When Zevran thanks the warden for freeing him from the crows, the line "I think of you as more than a friend." now only appears if the romance is not active and able to be started (this line starts the romance). If Zevran and the warden are in a romance, there now is a line, "I think of you as a friend, and more." that appears, and leads to his friendship declaration ("Then allow me to say this...") with the associated codex entry.
-At Arl Eamon's estate, if you're in a romance with Zevran, you now get his proper romance greetings.
-If Zevran offers the earring the second time, the warden now receives the earring and the conversation ends with the scripted kiss (non-ZevRing versions only as ZevRing not only fixes both of these issues, but gives an equippable earring instead of just a plot gift).
-After the Taliesen encounter, if the conversation leads to a public kiss and Zevran is not leaving, (the line is, "It would be hard to kiss you if you left,") the relationship now properly updates to love. (non-DT versions only -- Dialog Tweaks had already fixed this).
-Fixes the bug introduced in DT .93c. If you approach Zevran for the tent, then change your mind, the conversation will no longer cut off when you approach him again. (Dialog Tweaks only).


Alistair:

-Alistair no longer refers to himself as king if he isn't king.
-If you are marrying Alistair for political reasons and are at Friendly or Warm, Alistair will now give the proper dialog both post-landsmeet and at the post-coronation ceremony.
-When discussing the dark ritual with Alistair, responses that should be available only to a hostile/neutral Warden no longer appear for all Wardens
-The proper "still in love" dialogs should appear if Alistair is still in love with the warden.
-At the funeral, if Alistair is still in love but Zevran or Leliana are in love, Alistair will give the friendship dialog so the camera will focus on the love interest.
-During the conversation Alistair has about the other companions, the choice, "He and I have a connection" appears when the romance is active with Zevran, as intended.
-Alistair now discusses not being made king with the warden if the warden becomes engaged to Anora or makes Anora the sole queen.
-If you do Alistair's personal quest after the Landsmeet is over and Alistair is not king, he will no longer be called king, though Goldanna will still call him a prince a couple of times.
-A dialog choice for male wardens when giving Alistair his mother's amulet is now available to females who are friends with Alistair as well.
-Fixed the gender check on a response Alistair has when the warden asks him about his past as a Templar.
-Fixed a dialog cutoff that could happen after Alistair broke up with the warden.
-The broken kiss cutscene is repaired. tmp7704 fixed the elf and the human kiss. Thank you for letting me use them!

City Elf Alienage Fix:

-Now when a city elf returs to the Alienage with their romance partner, the romance partner asks for an explanation; it no longer defaults to Alistair or a glitched screen.

Leliana:

-Leliana's "Your Zevran" conversation no longer loops
-Leliana's conversation that she has at "friendly" when Zevran is at "Adore" or "Love" no longer has a loop.
-Leliana's declaration of love is different if she's hardened.
-Leliana will respond appropriately the warden is marrying Alistair/Anora. If she is the love interest and hardened, the proper dialog will trigger. If she is not involved in the warden, she will no longer break up with them.
-There are now a couple of appropriate responses for a gay/bisexual male warden when Leliana confronts him at "Care" if he's slept with Zevran.
-Leliana will no longer confront a male warden who had agreed to marry Anora before the landsmeet but does not end up engaged to her.
-Leliana now gives the proper response if hardened when asked what her future plans are.
-When discussing the afterlife, a choice that was only supposed to be visible to humans now actually appears for humans but no one else.
-Leliana will now always declare her feelings and proposition the warden after she falls in love.
-Now a dialog choice that should have only been available to females who were eligible to start a romance with Leliana will now only show when those conditions are met.
-If you break up with Leliana, she should break up and stay broken up.
-Males should now get a second chance to start the romance with Leliana.
-There should be fewer instances of Leliana ninja romancing a female warden (though, true to Leliana, if you're not clear with her, you still may end up ninja loved).


Isabela:

-When playing the card game with Isabela, if Zevran offers to help cheat, the additional action is now available

Slide_Show_Fix (fixes to Morrigan's slide are made by Terra_Ex):

-This corrects the problem of a male warden getting the female warden's epilogue slide.
-The "Morrigan's Ring" epilogue slide will now display correctly regardless of whether the player speaks to Morrigan AFTER the "Dark Ritual."

Riorden_Loghain_Fix :

-This should fix Loghain speaking from the dead in the conversation with Riorden in Redcliff castle if Alistair is still alive but not king.

Fergus_post_coronation:

-This now has Fergus properly mention the wedding to a Female Warden who's marrying Alistair.

Anora_post_coronation:

-Now Anora will not mention marrying Alistair if he did the US.

Party_Banter_Fix

Restores 12 banters in all, 7 between Alistair and Zevran, 1 between Zevran and Leliana, and 4 between Oghren and Shale.

In addition, it fixes the following bugs:
-One of the restored conversations with Alistair and Zevran will only trigger if Alistair is in a romance but not in love.
-Several banters where companions talk about Alistair having sex with the warden will now only trigger if the romance is active and Alistair and the warden have actually had sex.
-A banter between Zevran and Oghren now only triggers once the Orzammar questline is done, consistent with other discussions where camp is mentioned with Oghren.
-A banter between Morrigan and Leliana will now only trigger when Morrigan is in love and Leliana is not romanced (thank you Terra_Ex, for this fix -- I am utilizing his work with permission).
-A banter between Morrigan and Sten will now only trigger once per game.

Sarel Fix

-Fixes a conversation bug in the conversation he has with a Dalish elf where under one circumstance the dialog would cut off prematurely and in another the proper lines would not trigger.

Denerim Priests

-Fixes the conversation occasionally cutting off while talking to the two priests outside the Chantry. Thank you setiweb for finding this and pointing it out to me!

Cullen Fix

-Fixes the camera angle if Zevran gives his line to a female mage.
-Fixes Sten's approval and Wynne's dialog.
-Adds a line allowing you to agree with Zevran if he pleads for the mages (thank you Nonvita, for writing the additional line).


Slideshow Fix

-Zevran's in love slide, if leaving Denerim, should now trigger properly for male wardens.
-Alistair's in love slide, if staying in Denerim, should only reference Queen Anora if Anora is actually queen.
-Morrigan's in love slide should now trigger if Morrigan is either in love or still in love (rather than just still in love).
-If the werewolves are cured and allowed to go, their proper slide should trigger.
-If a city elf asks for the Alienage boon, the proper slides should trigger.
-The flag for a city elf Boon and the Mage boon when Alistair is king is now set properly (thank you Terra_Ex for fixing this)
-the Dalish boon no longer triggers for everyone under a certain circumstance
-The proper slides for the fate of the Sacred Ashes now triggers if Brother Genitivi is alive.

Epi_Eamon Fix

-Eamon now properly acknowledges the fate of Connor and Isolde in all circumstances during the post-coronation ceremony.

Kaitlyn Fix

-Sets the proper flags if you give Kaitlyn money after the Siege.
-Removes an inappropriate approval loss from Alistair during one of the conversations with her.

Eamon Fix

-The warden can no longer ask Eamon a question about Alistair post-landsmeet if it is not consistent with how the landsmeet was resolved.

Howe Fix

-Allows the proper dialog to trigger for a human noble when confronting Howe in his estate dependant on whether the HN confronted Howe or not at Eamon's estate.

Epi Oghren Fix

-Friendly and warm wardens will now get their proper dialog instead of the neutral/hostile dialog.

Epi Leliana

-Now a romance has to be active for a male to get one of the dialog choices
-A neutral warden will no longer get a friendship response.

Sten Fix
-Sten's conversation no longer loops when asking him about why he came to Ferelden
-If either Sten or the Lothering Grand Cleric has told you the details about Sten's crime, you should be able to question him about it when he is ready to talk about why he was caged.




1.7.2 Fixes the bug in Fergus_post_coronation, adds Anora_post_coronation, and fixes a bug in Morrigan.dlg

1.7.3 Fixes the problem of the glitched screen in the Alienage if the warden has more than one romance partner (City Elf Alienage Fix). It also fixes the Zevran/Dwarf kiss where the warden kisses Zevran's nose (Zevran Dwarf Kiss).

1.7.4f Fixes quite a few issues with Leliana. Also, I'm trying for a simpler installation.

2.0 Changes the way the flags in the dark ritual conversation are handled -- the new script and addendums were written by Terra_Ex. A few more fixes to Alistair were added as well.
