Covenant of Souls [Caves Update]

MAJOR UPDATE

- Caves are enabled! Dive into the depths and see what challenges await
- Controllers are now fully supported. Be sure to pull out your favourite gamepad!
- Two new soul gems are hidden in the wilderness and ready to be uncovered
- A whole bunch of new abilities, for both friends and foes
- Numerous bug fixes! Seriously. A lot of bug fixes. Please report any new ones you find though
- Pigman can finally wear hats

Please note that Shipwrecked and Hamlet are NOT supported by this mod

I've marked this update as a beta for now, to give me some time to fix any bugs that pop up

----

This mod completely changes how you fight in Don't Starve, by replacing its combat mechanics with RPG inspired turn-based encounters! So slay monsters, gain experience, and find a way to escape the world in which Maxwell has marooned you.

You're going to need some help though, so be sure to search far and wide for the soul gems of long dead heroes. The spirits of these ancient warriors, trapped within their crystalline prisons, will lend you power and extraordinary skills in battle. Equipping different soul gems will change how you approach a fight. Maxwell's minions have also captured some of your closest friends. Free them, and they will join you in your quest to escape!

This mod has been a real labour of love, undertaken on and off over the period of several years. I'd like to really thank some people that help me make this mod a reality:

@Vivalavie and @UltimaZix for lending their lovely art to the mod, which has jazzed up its appearance to no end, and @Mobbstar and @ImDaMisterL for the many hours they spent helping me catch many nasty bugs :-) Thanks guys!

Please note, that this mod currently supports Don't Starve Reign of Giants, but not Shipwrecked. It is recommended that this mod is played without any other mods running as the changes to the base mechanics of game are extensive and compatibility can not be assured. A new game must also be started for this mod to take effect.

Though this mod is now 'released', there may still be some bugs lurking around. If you can send me a detailed report on any bugs encountered, that would be awesome. But for now, enjoy!
