Section I. Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0. IMPORTANT! Launch game and go to 'Game Options' > 'Display' > 'Display Creatures Using Animated Sprite'
MUST BE DISABLED (red cross), otherwise you cannot play
- while you are in 'Game Options' > 'Gameplay' also disable 'Dialogue Music', it is highly recommended

1. Extract or open and 'Drag & Drop' the contents of the 'Salthill_Adventures.7z' archive into KoTC2 game directory.
- for instance D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Chalice 2

2. Overwrite the files if asked
- 'Graphics' folder includes files that disable artifacts around custom tokens*
- 'Module' folder includes the campaign itself

3. Launch the game > 'Launch Module' > 'Salthill Adventures' > 'Launch Selection'
> Create 6 new characters > Set Avatar > Click 'Start!' button

* if you have the game on Steam each automatic update will restore files that cause ugly artifacts around tokens,
therefore navigate into \Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Chalice 2\Graphics\Glows and delete
files: Glow64x64.png, Glow128x128.png, Glow192x192.png and Glow256x256.png, also works on non-Steam copies.
