V1.29 
CREDITS and CHANGELOG at end of file

Note:
----------------------------------------------
If you already have a older collection installed you can remove some old files.
You could leave them on your system because they would be overridden anyway - but that would help you
keep track of your mods and your system clean.

Remove files: (prior v1.28)
----------------------------------------------
bugfix_Lazarus_lightspell_duration_fix.dsres, cosmetic_fix_magic_missile_incantation.dsres
(this fixes are now combined in a new one)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultima 5 Lazarus bugfix and modpack  (recommended to install everything)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a collection of all the current available bugfixes
+ selected mods.
Included are also important or great mods of other U5 Lazarus fans.
The intent is to give you a great and less buggy playing experience without
beeing overpowered.
There are more mods on  http://www.u5lazarus.org/forum/  in the modding forum.
You will also find detailed descriptions of the fixes there.

Installation:
---------------------
To play the game without to many bugs (it still has a few)

UNZIP  u5lazarusv1.2_bugfixpack.zip   into your

 --> Lazarus\resources  folder.  (this is the folder where all mods/fixes go)

BUGFIXES SHOULD BE INSTALLED COMPLETE  to ensure maximum stability.
Some bugfixes will be maybe only cosmetic - but enhance overal gameplay.

If you absolutly want to remove some mods/fixes move the files to another location or delete them.
Description of files follows.


Art/Interface changes: (u5lazarus_font+userinterface_changes.zip - recommended to install everything)
----------------------

	Lazarus_DS_Mysticora_12pt_font_patch.dsres
		a much better readable medieval style font for Lazarus.

	mod_adapted_formations.dsres
		party formation adapted an for 6 partymembers - since DS is 8 partymemberbased
	
	mod_lazarus_provisoner_sign_art_avatar_font.dsres
		replaces the general store sign by a more ultima-like provisions sign

	cosmetic_fix_chair+benches_level_of_detail_adjustment.dsres
		will give chairs and benches a higher visual priority.
		If your setting of gamedetail is above 25% chairs will always be visible.

	Quick pocketwatch.dsres	*** Ozzy's Comfortability mod #4 ***
		pressing the hotkey(J) for the unused DS journal brings up the pocket watch now.
		
	mod_new_spell_icons_v2.dsres *** Shaellas Spellscrolls with Icons mod ***
		spellscrolls receive unique icons in inventory.
		Note: modified for my (Cheerfuls) spellsystemfix compatibility


(Weapon) Modselection: (u5lazarus_weapon+modfixes.zip - recommended to install everything)
----------------------
Magic Weapon bonuses didnt work in Lazarus 1.2
The basic weapons are already fixed with the bugfixpack - but i recommend you
install the u5lazarus_weaponmods.zip too.
The mods are in the spirit of the original Ultima 5, however , two mods 
enhance the Weapons a bit more.

 --> this mods are recommended too - but more optional than the other mods:

	modcompatibility_addon_cheerfuls_weaponfixes.dsres (base file)
		(adds missing weapon effects and better reflects weapon damage)
	+ modcompatibility_addon_cheerfuls_silver+glasssword_mod.dsres
		will enhance Silverswords by giving +1.5 damage to Undead
		and the Glass Swords power is increased to 1500 damage
		(wich is still not an instant kill to some monsters!,
		 the Glass Swords are one time use only and limited in number)
	
	mod_ranged_throwing_axe.dsres
		especially interesting for new players, a ranged (thrown) axe.
		The original Lazarus v1.2 Throwing Axe was melee only.
		Also placed 3 of them in starting areas.

	bugfixmod_Lazarus_improved_summoned_Daemon.dsres
		summoned daemons tended to get stuck very often in an animation loop
		when melee fighting enemys. The mod will enable summoned daemons to
		cast two low level damage spells. They will switch to melee when enemys
		are in melee range. Usually resulting in less animationbugs.
