About this mod

This COMBO MODS it's a messy mix between mods from other creators and changes and mods that I, Mardanos, created myself to make the DS2 "hardcore".It's beta and NOT compatible with legendary mod(for now).

ATTENTION: This mod combo is most likely not compatible with most mods. And maybe not compatible with existing savegames either. If an error occurs when entering the game, try to start with no savegame active. The game also takes an average of 3 minutes to load. So be patient, I'm a layman.

// BUGS
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
List of BUGS that I remember off the top of my head that exist in the game and for now there is no solution:

1 - "Double summons" do not have the chiclet icon on the buff in the character portraits. He's still there, but he's icon is insivible. 
To cancel this type of summon, just place the mouse cursor over these buffs (in the portrait) and the buff that does not appear any description is the summon. Cancel this and the summons will disappear.
"Double summons" are spells that summon more than 1 summon at the same time.

2 - Whenever you join a game, you need to update the stats of all characters. There are two ways to do this:
a) open the specific character's inventory (updates only the selected character's stats).
b) open the in-game menu (updates the status of all characters.

3 - This mod was made just for me, at first not intended to be shared. So there are features in the game that I ended up abandoning because I didn't pay much attention. 
This is the case with pets. It is possible to play with pets and there are new pets in Eirulan's shop. 
But they haven't been tweaked at all, so they'll probably be pretty weak to fight and the new layouts won't look very pretty. 
I'm only talking about animal pets, not human pets.
4 - I'm a layman at creating mods. So there are things that I call "gambiarra" that didn't turn out very nice, but work "well". 
Example: The layout of portraits and the numbers of new stats of characters in the inventory are not updated instantly when changing. 
You have to move the cursor in the inventory area for them to update. Just move the cursor in inventory area and status will show nice.
It's different from the case mentioned before (opening in-game menu and etc), here it's just appearance.
5 - It is not possible to select some POWERS through the skills tab(dragging to slot), so you need to select them through portrait (click and hold on the slot and select the desired one).
6 - It's not exactly a bug, but there are spells and items with the description "only for test mods". 
The phrase is self-explanatory. These are items that I created to test my modifications, so they are not meant to be used in gameplay.

As said, this mod combo was created by me, MardanosT, at first not intended to be shared, so some authors might be missing as I can't remember them all. I apologize and if any author is missing, let me know. Once again, I apologize.
