C O N F I G U R A B L E S T A F F

[edit 14/5/2018]: Added a new version of the mod (you can use both together if you want two staffs/staves) that should allow players to access the staff earlier in the game (as requested by dhague2cfo in the Posts section) - it should be available from the Dwarven Bookseller in Redcliffe and is the Keeper staff schematic.
This file has a much larger selection of abilties to choose from.
Multiplayer abilities are unlikely to work without another mod that adds them to the map bundles.
Some abilities seem to be repeats of others (these are multiplayer abilities that do the same thing as single player ones, but have different names - things like that). Not all 197 abilities are tested - I think there will be problems if you use the wrong weapon ones at the bottom of the menu. I'm not sure about others.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you choose an ITEM passive ability.
Note for fellow mod authors: Also, Turn the Blade on the menu is called ShieldSpecialization in the files, where Bear Mauls the Wolves is called TurnTheBlade - it's confusing, but that's what the game files are like!
Turn the Blade (ShieldSpecialization): Any blow you can see, you can turn aside. All damage coming from the front is reduced.
Bear Mauls the Wolves (TurnTheBlade): [..]you can't be flanked by enemies, and you're less likely to be staggered when hit from the front.

Configure a staff schematic. Replaces Witch Staff schematic, but you can choose Witch Staff appearance to bring it back!

Download ModManager
At the time of writing, Frosty doesn't support daimods. Note: Many people are reporting problems with the "DAI Tools Suite Loader", so use the direct link from: http://daimodder.tumblr.com/post/128958896369/modmanager-59-available.

How to use
In ModManager, click the mod's name, click configure, drag the bottom edge of the window down, configure, click save, merge.

Please note, some staff heads will disappear when you add grips/blades to them. This is a known issue with the game and seems to be related to the fact that many staves are one-piecers. It is probably the reason that many weapons come with no upgrade slot by default. THIS IS NOT A BUG IN MY MOD.
If in doubt, use Please use Sapphim's image (below) for appearance numerical reference on the menu. -as you can see, the one-piecers are on the left, these are the ones that have problems with upgrades.

Multiple Abilities Quirk
Fenix9514 tested this and came to the following conclusions:
If you make this weapon, then save the game, then re-merge with other passive abilities selected, the weapon retains both abilities.
Workaround
I believe the abilities are stored somewhere on the save file because deleting every merged file did not help. I have loaded up a savegame prior to installing this mod and the [weapons] (even the ones i haven't crafted) reverted back to normal). So [the issue is that abilities are stored in] the savefile[.]

If you find an ability gets stuck on your character, shafyrewynd found a fix. You can make weapon with those abilities again, equip them and go into combat, then leave combat and unequip them. That'll clear the slate.

IE, if Permafrost gets stuck, change the weapon ability in the mod back to Permafrost, make a fresh set and do the above steps. Next time you go into combat, no Permafrost.

Passive power slot and extra recipe slot were added using Frosty binary export (Advanced Mode).

CREDITS
I want to thank everybody involved with the Frosty, Mod Manager and Mod Maker projects, especially Galaxy/Eham, Zhentar, Dawnless Sky, Chrono414,
Tirnoney, esCanor, Dheuster and VoidRealms for their tutorials, without which I couldn't have done any DAI modding.
Thanks to ethicalinfant, plus electricfish, wavebend and munchyfly on Discord. drag6295 for belief that I could actually do something,
I also want to thank Nexusmods.
Even more thanks to people who have taken the trouble to report issues with the mods! It is only through your efforts that things get discovered and fixed.
Thanks to Fenix9514 for extensively testing this mod's multiple-abilities quirk.
I do not apologise for my crappy, inefficient scripts - the coding snobs can bite me!

MY MODS

OPTIONAL
Manually Changing default values:
Get Notepad++ from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download (DO NOT USE NORMAL NOTEPAD, it will break the mod)
Open the daimod in Notepad++
Scroll down to this code...
ConfigElementsList.AddIntElement( "SOS", "Slot 1 Size", 5, 1, 99);
The numbers at the end of the line are what you are looking for (highlighted in bright green), here 5 is the default, 1 is min, 99 is max (any bigger and the game doesn't let you craft it)
ConfigElementsList.AddEnumElement( "STM", "Slot 2 Material",typeof(Material), 1);
Materials are 0=Cloth, 1=Leather, 2=Metal
ConfigElementsList.AddEnumElement( "STT", "Slot 2 Type ",typeof(Slottype), 0);
Slottypes are 0=Offense 1=Utility
ConfigElementsList.AddEnumElement( "Hat0", "Templar Helmet ", typeof(Appearance), 0);
The 0 at the end is the number of the appearance on the dropdown menu (starts at 0)
Remember to File > Save from the menu
Done.
