Are the changes made in this mod file direct copy overwrites, or are they done by patching?

Patching cre is not easy.
You probably think this mod only make things a little better by correcting "easy" things like Thac0, AC (set to 10), saving throw (according to level & class)... But in fact, most of the .Cre have been reviewed with lots of attention. Same thing for monsters. The changes are quite unique and depends on many factors. Of course, it should be possible to write a patch for each cre. But I would take a long time to do so. The best thing is to install this mod just after tutufix or tututweak. Then, install other mods. |
