It takes about five seconds for the script that gives you the magic bottle to work, so once you've installed the mod and started the game, wait 5 - 10 seconds.  You should get a notice that says "Received Magic Bottle."  The magic bottle goes in your regular inventory -- so you can drop it afterwards if you want to -- but that means that you'll need one free space in your regular inventory.  If you wish for an item, of course you'll also need enough space for whatever you wish for.

When you right-click on the bottle to use it, the tooltip will say "right-click to read." This is because if I'd made the bottle a potion, Geralt would have drunk it, and that's not what we want. By tricking the game into thinking the bottle is a scroll, I'm able to give you a pop-up that says, "A genie has appeared!" So yeah, I know it claims that you "read" the bottle. WE know that Geralt actually rubs the thing. :-)

Of course you recognize who's being the genie here. ;) In recoloring Azar Javed, I took a much closer look than ever before at his model and textures. I swear, that man must be the vainest guy on the planet! He's got armbands and piercings and decorative stitching and decorative cutouts and necklaces and belts and buckles and godknowswhatall! I had originally envisioned recoloring every piece of his outfit, but after I got a look at how extremely complicated it was, I decided to "only" spend a couple of hours recoloring him.

The genie will teleport out after he's given you whatever you asked for. In theory, you get ONE wish. But in practice, if you want more, you can just rub the bottle again. I thought about making the bottle self-destruct after the first wish, but given that we ARE cheating here, I figured letting you use it as often as you like was better.

Is the mod very cheaty? Yes, it's very cheaty. :-) A user I admire told me that he sometimes uses the Witcher Saved Game Editor to hack his saved games when he feels like cheating, and I thought that wasn't much fun. If we're going to cheat, let's do it in a fun way, via gameplay. That's why I made this mod.

INSTALLATION

Download the folder and unzip it.  Put the unzipped folder into your The Witcher Enhanced Edition\Data folder or your The Witcher Enhanced Edition\Data\Override folder.  Notice that the folder for the mod does NOT go into the Witcher folder where your saved games are; it goes in the Witcher folder where the game data is. This is The Witcher Enhanced Edition\Data.

CONFLICTS Many other mods conflict with the Genie Wish Mod!  Any mod that uses the custom_script.ncs and def_arealoaded.ncs scripts -- which includes FCR and many others -- will conflict with this mod.  Also, any mod that uses the appearance. 2da file will conflict; this includes the Scabbard Mod, FCR, Rise of the White Wolf, and many others.

It's easy to work around this, though!  You don't actually need the genie for very
