Doublecheck the readme on the game-hosing item scripts. You need to install those if you want to be able to wear armour, etc... Not worth it IMO.
Can anyone else confirm the Tornado bug?

I'll second the tornado bug.

Really made me sad ... I really wanted to use that spell.

Some invisible creature appears that you can move around, stays around for a little bit, and then goes away. I was a little underwhelmed. :-)

If the tornado spell works like I think it would, that would be the i/i creature that forms the focus of the tornado. It looks like it just isn't playing the tornado animation or effect, though I couldn't say whether this is a problem with the creature script or spells.

The best I can suggest is to open the spell and trace the effect to find out what creature it summons. Then, check to see what script that creature uses. That should give you a start in figuring out what's going wrong.

Of course the tornado spell might now summon an i/i creature, and I'm just babbling. ;)

It does, I'll look at it when I get a bit of time.

This is all i can find about the game hosing scripts

Version v1.5 makes the painful script overwrites which hose all the NPC scripts as an optional component. I recommend you
don't install that component. Unless Tatmaster comes back and asks it to be removed. (Remember, I just packaged the kit, I
didn't write it!)


What exactly does this do? I checked the rest of the package and couldn't find any information besides i do not recommend installing this. What exactly does it do? Make the sorceror wear armor? And why is it exactly not recommended that you install it?

The DS is limited. It starts out as a druid kit, but due to game limitations it switches the class to Sorcerer with a few tweaks. In order to wear armour as a druid, Tatmaster modified the in game armour to be usable by a sorcerer. However, this also allows a regular sorcerer to wear it. To circumvent this abuse, every item has a script assigned which causes it to drop to the inventory if worn by a non-druidic sorcerer. This script assignment replaces an ingame script slot on many NPCs, thus killing romances, etc...
Not worth it IMO.

i'm confused (not difficult), does the DS kill all romances if you put leather armour on or is there something i've missed.

every romance and every NPC quest, yes: far better, even soloing, to play the DS unarmoured. but hey, given how powerful the DS is, you need *some* sort of challenge! ;P

It'll kill romances if an NPC wears a modified item. That's why I don't recommend you actually install that component. It's included in the mod as Tatmaster originially created the mod, and I was not about to remove that large content during the conversion. I find that the DS is still a kick-ass kit even without the use of druid weapons/items. If it bothers you that much, add the UAI ability to your character, and/or use the Ashes of Embers mod to expand weapon use. ;)
