Last of the Dana'an - Unofficial Patch

The Dana'an modules by J.E. McKellar are my favorite entries on the Vault. They combine less well known Celtic mythology and folklore, epic poetry, American colonial history, politics, economics, and an appreciation for the chaos and logistical difficulties of actual warfare with good storytelling. 

Inspired by Travus’ series of Unofficial Patches, I decided to fix the known bugs, mistakes, and one or two irritants in these classic Ranger adventures. Travus made this possible by fixing the scripts that too often failed during the large battles that are the hallmark of this mod. I fixed the conversations, item blueprints, and loot drops. All his fixes have been tested by three different players so if anything is broken, it's my fault.

I've added a couple of non-plot items that may make life a little easier but they can be ignored.

I have not changed the plot in any way. 

I have not changed any of the NPCs or creatures.

In-game time has been slowed from two minutes/game hour to three minutes/game hour. That will make certain short duration defensive spells a little more useful in one or two tough spots. It will also give you a few extra minutes to get across the map for a couple of time-dependent quests. Depending on your style of play you will probably not notice anything.

I must thank Travus who made this possible by figuring out the complex combat scripts and debugging them.

I usually check the vault a couple of times a week for questions or problems. If I don't respond to you here, you can try to PM me on the forums here  - https://forum.neverwintervault.org/

The files on this project page are as follows:

- The Last of the Dana'an Unofficial Patch.mod - My edited version of LotD ver 1.07. I changed the name so it will NOT overwrite the original if you have it installed. If you do have both installed, both will appear on your list of modules when you start the game. Please pay attention to which one you are playing. Save game files are not compatible between the two versions.

- Override LotD UOP - Contains Travus updated scripts, Adonnay's Elven Weaponry, Escrimator´s Hand Axes, and some corrected blueprints. Note that this override package will also work with the original Last of the Dana'an ver 1.07 module if you wish to play that way.

- Last of the Dana'an ver 1.07 Read Me - The game description and tips for new players from the original project page for those who have not played it before.
