This alters most of the core scripts. As such, it will conflict with anything else that also edits them.
Of particular note are the ability_core.ncs, rules_core.ncs, and sys_chargen.ncs files.

- Description
- -------------------------------------------
This is a, semi-Modular, re-mastered combination of a large number of the Mods I've previously released on this site. It also extends the default Shapeshifting/Summoning/Dispelling system (read the configuration Readme for details).
How modular is it and what does it contain? Read on.
Note that it is strongly recommended that you uninstall any of the below Mods if they're already installed before installing this. You should also deactivate any sustainable abilities and use the "remove_all_modifiers" console command if updating an existing character from an older Mod version.
- --------------------------------------------
- Configuration
- -------------------------------------------
The jxmods_config.gda is the main switchboard for most of the Mod's functions. It is suggested you create a shortcut to it somewhere easily accessable so that you can quickly turn features on or off.
Generally, a 0 turns the module off while a 1 turns it on. There are a few exceptions however:
~~Immersive Specializations~~
Turning this on will abolish Specialization points and make default Specialization learning possible only through select Single Player events. The Ritualist Class is not affected by this, and it won't do much of anything if active while playing Awakening.
~~Advanced Abilities~~
Also known as the "Class and Specialization Pack". The abilities are no longer tied to Specializations, as there was no real point to that since you couldn't spend points on them anyway.
They are still learned the same way however.
~~Enhanced Shapeshifter~~
This adds several new shapeshifting forms to the default Shapeshifter Specialization that are learned by killing specific creature types.
Setting it to 1 will enable the forms for the PC while setting it to 2 enables them for everyone. The reason for the split is because the following forms have severe graphic issues with their models if a NPC uses them: Genlock, Hurlock, Shriek, Ogre, Desire Demon, High Dragon, Werewolf, Wild Sylvan, & Grand O
