XC_Bags

Main Features:

- automatic inventory handling with 'Magic Bags'
- new homestead containers
- Cyseal crafting station
- many changes
- 4 player enabled, although two players will have to use hired companions (see below)

Way too many changes to put here. Extensive info can be looked up in the Larian forum AND is included ingame in books that are in one of the players' inventory
(The book about crafting pages has over 30 pages, so there is too much info to include here.)

See: http://larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=589467

Due to heavy scripting, this mod does not work with existing savegames and requires a new game. I will try to make updates to the mod itself compatible with existing savegames - made with this mod - in any possible way.

Please consult the guide here on Steam https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=548760493 for additional steps required to make 4 players work.

Should be compatible with most if not all Nexus mods that only make graphical changes, because this mod does not overwrite any graphics.



Due to ever reoccuring questions about the bags, I've written some - potentially confusing (let me know) - information about them in a separate discussion topic How do Magic Bag work below.
Please consult this discussion thread before asking questions that have been answered numerous times before already ;-)



A User has re-uploaded XC_Encounters. A link to the new download is provided in a discussion article found above the main discussion section of the 6-man-party version of this mod (there's a link to that version below). I haven't checked this link though.
I might be able to answer questions about XC_Bags parts of XC_Encounters, but I cannot answer questions about the new download itself. Please post questions about the download on the Nexus, not here.


Achievements

The mod does not mess with achievements. So achievements will work just as in the unmodded game (... unless an engine bug occurs).


An important note about the tooltip display bug

If any container - including a character's main inventory - becomes very full, wrong tooltips might start showing up, i.e. a tooltip of an item does not belong to the item itself but to the one that's before or after it in the container.
This is caused by an engine bug that dislocates tooltips if a container contains many items AND additionally contains one of the books I added (... which have very many pages).

Workaround for this problem

Move the books to another container. The best way to do this is to right-click the book icon and choose 'Send to Homestead' which will send the book to the 'paperwork container' at the Cyseal Crafting Station. It could be any other container, e.g. any barrel, crate or chest you place at the station (need not be the station though, could be anywhere).
You can still always pick up the books if necessary and read them (but if you do it while your inventory is pretty full, you will encounter the display bug again.), just put them back into the container again after reading.
You will most likely never need the books while you're 'out in the wilds', so the Cyseal Crafting Station is a good place to store them.

I hope that the workaround is sufficient. Unfortunately, I cannot really fix this bug because fixing it could break existing savegames.


Other versions:

- a 6-character party version of this mod can be found here: XC_Bags 6Man QnvD
- a mod that merges this mod and Epic Encounters mod can be found here: XC_Encounters


Other languages:

While it is possible to translate this mod to other languages, it cannot be done in the mod itself, that would require an additional external download with manual installation of the language files, which I'm no big fan of at all.
It could of course also be done by creating yet another mod which has the other language built-in already but that would probably create more confusion than anything else and would depend on a really bug-free and seamless implementation of Larian's language handling.

It does not require the 'ultimate knowledge' of English - which is not my own native language either - to play this game in English, especially if you have played it before and already know what's going on. That also has the advantage that dialogs and the voice-overs are synced.
Give it a try ;-)

2016-10-19, version 0.5.1.10 contains some workarounds for the Homestead Mirror bug, see the changes section or
the discussion for details.
The problem with skills no longer working after using the appearance mirror in the Homestead should be gone


2017-07-26: v. 0.5.1.14

- changed the scale of one metal helmet from 1.5 to 1.0 which hopefully fixes the 'metal helmet display bug'

This change will unfortunately not work for existing metal helmets which triggered the bug because the 'fix' cannot change stuff that is already stored in the savegame.
If hair that eventually disappeared together with the helmet does not come back after replacing the buggy helmet - test it by temporarily taking the helmet off -, try using the appearance mirror in the personal quarters in the homestead to fix that.

New players should never encounter the bug (if the mentioned fix works and the wrong scale was really the cause of the bug).
