<p>This is a collection of kits and an item pack from <a href="http://www.sorcerers.net/">Sorcerer's Place</a>. The mods were originally in an older, harder-to-install format and I have converted them to use a <acronym title="Weimer Dialogue Utility">WeiDU</acronym> installer and implemented several bugfixes. Item restrictions are also applied dynamically, meaning that the item restrictions for the Arcane Fist and Archer of Sylvanus kits will be implemented across all items in the game, including those added or altered by other mods.</p>

<p>Due to hard-coded limitations of the Infinity Engine, only a limited number of kits can be installed for each class. The Darkest Day mod fills all available slots and as such the kit components of this mod will be incompatible. It is unlikely but possible that the Arcane Fist, Sylvan Mystic, and Archer of Sylvanus kits may cause some compatibility problems with mods that alter the Undead Hunter, Cleric of Talos, or Cleric of Helm kits due to some usability hacks that were implemented for the item restrictions. It is recommended that the kits be installed after other item and kit mods but before tweak mods.</p>

<p>This mod will work on Baldur's Gate II, with or without the Throne of Bhaal expansion; the Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, and Icewind Dale; and the conversion projects Tutu, Baldur's Gate Trilogy, and Enhanced Edition Trilogy. </p>

<p>The installation of the Archer of Sylvanus kit will allow all druids to use bows and crossbows; similarly the Arcane Fist kit will allow bards to wear mage robes. These are design compromises necessitated to try and get the kits closer to the original author's idea. </p>

</strong>Good Old Games (GOG) and Steam both package the additional content for Siege of Dragonspear in a method that WeiDU, the tool used to install this mod, cannot access.

<p><strong>Enhanced Editions Note</strong><br />

The Enhanced Editions are actively supported games. Please note that every patch update will wipe your current mod setup! If in the middle of a modded game you might want to delay the patch update (if possible) as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. Alternatively, copy the whole game's folder into a new one that can be modded and will stay untouched by game patches. For BG:EE it is important that you install the mod to the language version you are playing the game in. Otherwise, the dialogues of the mod will not show but give error messages. </p>

<p>Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from <a href="http://www.weidu.org/%7Ethebigg/">WeiDU.org</a> and copy WeiDU and WeInstall to /usr/bin. Following that, open a terminal, cd to your game installation directory, run tolower and answer Y to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lowercased file names. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet.</p>
