📋 About This Mod

A hub arena within Caelid Colisseum, meant for modders looking for a place to test their creations.

Welcome to the Testing Arena!

This uses the Overworld Version of the Caelid Arena, turning it into a modder's new hub zone.

Features include:

-A blacksmith, using Hewg's talkscript (but a visual model a little cooler).

-A "mirage" of Roderika, allowing for spirit tuning right in the arena.

-A finger-reader, allowing one to redeem remembrances and purchase Champion Armors within the arena

-A "mirage" of Boc the Seamster, allowing one to alter their garments for free within the arena.

-A "modding shop", utilizing my "Shop of Fingers - Extended Version" talkscript from my other Modder's Tool mod. Add your mod items to the proper categories in ShopLineupParam. Rows are included indicating the Start and End of each range for each category.

-A "mirage" of Merchant Kale - I HIGHLY recommend using user tomclark's Glorious Merchant mod with this for a better experience.

-An absolution stand (Because why not?) featuring Radahn and Miquella.

-Three high-resistance, passive testing dummies with 999,999 HP, inspired by Clever's Dummies in the Roundtable Hold mod.

-A Site of Grace that should be unlocked the moment you begin a new save or load an existing one.

-A beautiful view overlooked by the Erdtree, great lighting (which is what inspired this - Roundtable Hold was too dark), and circling wyverns flying through the sky around the arena

-Coliseum stands filled with decorative, non-hostile Rememberance Bosses as spectators, for a truly epic vibe while testing your mods.

-A Buddy Stone, meaning you can summon spirit ashes within the arena.

Two Versions of the mod are published:

-A "Main Version" which is simply drag-and-drop into a ME2 installation, which you can then start projects on top of

-A "Merge Version", which I imagine will be more used, considering this is meant for modders.

Permissions:

-You MAY use this mod in your own, as long as credit is clearly posted on your mod page with a link to mine. Its meant as a resource for y'all's projects, so go nuts.

Questions and Support:

-Considering this is meant as a resource for modders, the expectation is that you know what you're doing enough to handle the basics. Support on installation and the most basic troubleshooting will not be provided, but feel free to ask for help in the ?ServerName? Discord if you really want.

However, if there are any real bugs or issues, feel free to make a post or ping me in ?ServerName? and I'm happy to look into it and get a fix out.

Suggestions For A Better Experience:

-As I said earlier, check out Glorious Mer
