------------------------

INSTALLATION:

	How to:

		The .dsres file in the .zip archive goes into your Resources directory.
		If you have installed Cosmetics 1.2 or earlier, please delete the .dsres file from the Resources
		directory, and extract the newer version from the Cosmetics 2.0 archive.

WHAT IT IS:

	Cosmetics:

		The 'Cosmetics' line of mods aims to enhance Dungeon Siege with the aid
		of SiegeFX scripts. SiegeFX is the scripting language that is used to script
		all of Dungeon Siege's effects. Spell effects, item effects, torches on the
		walls, the list goes on and on.

	Version 1.0:

		Staff Effects:

			Every single staff in the game, magical or non-magical, now has a clone.
			These clones can be found everywhere normal staffs are found, and can
			be identified by the color of their names. To make sure you know when they
			are dropped in combat, a angelic voice will sound when one is dropped. If
			you miss the sound, do not fret, as the staffs are marked on the ground by a
			blue flame. These staffs are dropped as frequently as their normal counterparts,
			and are also sold at vendors.

	Version 1.1

		Cosmetics 1.0 Included:

			Cosmetics 1.1 includes all of the content from Cosmetics 1.0.

		Balance Fix:

			Fixed some balance issues with a 'special' staff that was included in 1.0.
			The intelligence requirement was too low for the amount of damage the staff did.

		New Staffs:

			Added a few more 'special' staffs to the game for finding. These staffs drop
			quite rarely, so just keep on looking. They don't any new functionality, instead
			they are assigned special names and models, with funny, crazy, or just cool effects.

	Version 1.2

		Cosmetics 1.1 Included:

			Cosmetics 1.2 includes all of the content from Cosmetics 1.1.

		Staff Fixes:

			The 'special' staffs added in version 1.1 weren't dropping correctly.
			has been resolved. The 'Visually Enhanced' staffs have been tweaked; the color of the
			text has been changed to 'Combat Magic Orange', and the 'Visually Enhanced' description
			has been tweaked as well.

		Staff Updates:

			The 'special' staffs added in version 1.1 have had static modifiers attached
			to them. They also won't have random modifiers attached to them when they are dropped.
			The 'special' staffs also cannot be sold at vendors.

	Version 2.0

		Cosmetics 1.2 Included:

			Cosmetics 2.0 includes all of the content from Cosmetics 1.2.

		Arrow Tracer Effects::

			In place of the simple gray-white streak before, it has been spiced up with particle
			trails as well as sparks of varying colors. The bolts, trap arrows, and magical arrows all have
			separate variations in color from the base arrow.

		Gauntlet Effects:

			Just as I did with Cosmetics 1.x, all of the base gauntlets were duplicated and assigned
			special effects. They can be located by their special 'Cosmetics Sparkle' that became famous in
			Cosmetics 1.x, along with the angelic voice that sounds when a pair of 'Visually Enhanced' gauntlets
			are dropped.

		Potion Effects:

			The normal potion effects have been replaced with new, system easy, effects. This includes effects
			for drinking, and placing upon the ground.

WHAT IS COMING:

	Tutorials & Community Support

			With Cosmetics 2.0 behind me, I will be focusing on community support, my web page
			design skills, and SiegeFX tutorials. The Cosmetics line of mods may or may not continue. I
			might begin to release smaller effect packs, that are not full blown mods, but instead just
			effect showcases for the aspiring SiegeFX designer. I enjoyed creating Cosmetics 1.0 and 2.0,
			and I want to thank you all for your support.

EXTRA INFORMATION:

	Extras:

		No Copying:

			If you decide to go ahead and extract the contents of any tanks from the
			'Cosmetics' line of mods, please do not copy any text directly from the tanks,
			or use content from the tanks in any mods you might be working on, and/or
			releasing. A person recently broke the copyrights of a siegelet, against it's
			creator's will, and was banned from every single forum in the Gamespy network.
			I tell you this to show that breaking copyright laws is a VERY serious crime.

		Issue(s):

			The only issue so far is this: Equipping a staff while the game is paused
			causes some effects to not show up. Just un-equip, and re-equip the staff. Fixed.
