=================================== Overview =================================== * Sacred 2 Enhanced Edition (S2EE) is the continuation of my work on older mods such as Enhanced Spells and the Community Patch, of which S2EE is meant to be the successor. * S2EE contains hundreds of bugfixes, as well as numerous gameplay improvements that are not strictly fixes. * S2EE is designed for the player to install the CORE module, then they may install some optional add-on modules. * See the "S2 EE 3.2 Manual.pdf" for full list of modules and features. =================================== Requirements and Compatibility =================================== * This mod requires Sacred 2 + Ice & Blood expansion with the latest patch (2.65.02) installed (or simply Sacred 2 Gold). * This mod additionally requires that Community Patch 1.60 be installed. * No previous versions or components of Enhanced Edition should be installed. * No mods that alter scripts will be compatible with S2EE unless explicitly notated as compatible with EE. This includes: Diablo 2 Fallen, Boss Arena, Age of Heroes, Survival Mod, Llama's Mod, Wardust's Mods, Dimitrius's Patch Addendum. * Mods that are known to be compatible: Music Mods, Interface Mods, Main Menu Mods, Reduced Fog, Elite Textures (either official or the unofficial "trimmed" version), and simple texture mods like Eye mod or Grass mod. =================================== Install Instructions =================================== * Download the Generic Mod Enabler (GME) and install it to your Sacred 2 root folder. ** Mod Enabler is available at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Generic-Mod-Enabler.shtml ** For Steam the root folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sacred 2 Gold ** For GOG or disk version, the root folder is wherever you installed the game, for example C:\Sacred 2 Gold * After running the GME once, it will make a folder called "MODS" there. * Extract/copy/move the contents of the compressed zip file into the "MODS" folder. There should be 9 folders (the Docs folder need not be placed in the MODS folder). * S2EE contains one CORE module and seven optional add-on modules. You must install "S2 CORE EE 3.2 - Required" at the very least. * Run the GME and enable the CORE module. The GME will back up your clean files and will allow to you to easily enable/disable the mod as you wish. * - Optional - add-on modules should be installed afterward. Do not install any of the add-on modules without the CORE module installed first. Overwrite warnings are to be expected when you install the optional modules. =================================== Credits =================================== * Flix - Main author, scripts, game texts, textures, sounds, icons. * Dimitrius154 - programming, scripting, advice, asset importing. * Pesmontis - new model importing, text encoding tools. * desm - French translation. * Shadowflare85 - German translation. * KrystianCzach243r - Polish translation. * Nikoleagle and LordKomar - Russian translation. * Deivix - Spanish translation. * Pokolfajzat - Hungarian translation. * Loromir - Italian translation. * Lindor - reworked Ancient Bark FX. * Ysendra - new Daemon textures. * SX255 - new Deathly Spears icon. * Luthal - helped work out how to handle summoned minions. * Caledor - ideas on adjusting balance, skill effects, and the interface. * Charon117 - tools for cleaning & optimizing scripts. * Everyone who played the mod and posted feedback. * Gogoblender and Schot - hosting this mod on DarkMatters. * Llama - making his CM Patch Mod and showing me the way into modding Sacred 2 spells.
