Detailed Tooltips

Name: Detailed Tooltips Version: 1. 6 Tested for DA:O Version: 1. 02 Date: 12/9/2009 Author: Bibdy Homepage: Description =========== Modifies existing ability, potion, trap, grenade and inspiration bonus tooltips to give more detailed information about what various effects are. Details ======= Modified entries in the core_en-us.tlk file for ability tooltips to display more detailed information, derived straight from the game\'s scripting. Information such as base damage and scaling factors, effect durations, attack/defense buffs/penalties etc. will be shown in ability tooltips. Note: Some abilities will use \'SP\' to denote Spellpower (equal to your magic attribute -10). The general format will be _base_damage_ + _scaling_factor_SP, e.g. Cone of Cold deals 34 + 0. 34SP cold damage, meaning 34 base damage plus 34% of your spellpower attribute. Difficulty levels affect abilities in certain ways, such as CC (crowd control) effects lasting a shorter duration, damage being reduced, healing reduced and such forth. These tooltip descriptions do NOT reflect these effects. There may also be typos, or places where I just read the script code horribly wrong and made a mistake. Feel free to contact me with a description of the problem and I\'ll look into it. Install ======= Simply copy the core_en-us.tlk file to your override directory. This can be found in various places (depending on your OS, although I think there are multiple places you can put the file and it will still work): _install_directory_\\packages\\core\\override\\ My Documents\\Bioware\\Dragon Age\\packages\\core\\override\\ Uninstall ========= Delete the core_en-us.tlk file you placed in the override folder. Incompatibility =============== This mod should be fully compatible with the base game, but may not be compatible with future patches if Bioware chooses to extend the core_en-us.tlk file. It will also be incompatible with other mods which directly alter the core_en-us.tlk file. It is \'compatible\' with other languages, if you change the name of the file to the same language you use (e.g. core_fr.tlk). Look in the \\packages\\core\\data\\talktables folder for the correct file name (DO NOT OVERWRITE THAT FILE!). HOWEVER, this will overwrite much of the core game text with English, such as the main menu. So, be prepared for a language clusterfuck. Known Issues or Bugs ==================== None To-Do List ========== - I completely missed the \'Dread Howl\' ability for Dog when scanning through all 69,000 entries TWICE, so this tooltip remains the same. - The Shapeshifter spells and form ability tooltips remain unchanged. - Still need to modify tooltips for poisons. Haven\'t got any accurate information on how they operate, yet. - Move combo tooltips to the combo codex entries, so not to spoil things...if I can find them. - Give more info in tooltips for \'increases monetary/experience gains/blood magic\'.
