I. Introduction
Dungeon Siege Revived is a modification for Dungeon Siege(TM) by Gas Powered
Games, Inc.(TM).
It adds a load of new features, including quest saves, new items, new
playable characters, and new spells. Each new item and spell has been
meticulously balanced with the other items in the game to provide seamless
integration with the stock Dungeon Siege items and spells, 80+ new items in
ALL!
Other notable features include dynamically adjustable camera angle
restrictions, a playable armored gargoyle, enhanced spell selection, and
multiplayer quest saving. Here's the hopefully complete list of new features:

II. Installation and Usage
There are a couple methods that you can use to install this modification.
The first method is the most robust, and allows you to easily change from
running Dungeon Siege Revived to not running it. First, unzip the Revived
.zip file you downloaded into your root Dungeon Siege folder. (Usually
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesDungeon Siege"). This should create
a new folder named "Revived_LoA" with all the Revived files in place.
(revived_loa.dsres, ikkyo_loa.dsdll, and readme.txt). Now you need to setup
a new shortcut to run Revived. The easiest way is to make a copy of your old
Dungeon Siege shortcut and change the target. An example is provided in the
zip. Set the TARGET of the new shortcut to
=============================================================================
"C:GamesDungeon SiegeDSLOA.exe" res_paths=Revived_LoA
dsdll_path=Revived_LoA
=============================================================================
or wherever your DSLOA.exe is located. The res_paths and dsdll_path
entries are the most important. Make sure you didn't make any typos! This
way executing the new shortcut will automatically start a game of Dungeon
Siege Revived. While executing the old shortcut will start a game of
unmodified Dungeon Siege.
The second method is to copy the revived_loa.dsres file into your
"Dungeon SiegeDSLOA" folder.
(Usually "C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesDungeon SiegeDSLOA")
Also copy the ikkyo_loa.dsdll file into your root Dungeon Siege folder
(Usually "C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesDungeon Siege")
More installation help can be found here:
http://www.siegeworks.org/article.php?51.0
If you are using Windows 95/98/ME, you will also need to copy the dbghelp.dll
file provided in the zip into your root Dungeon Siege folder.
Make sure to remove any previous version of this mod when upgrading from an
older version.
This modification starts working immediately after installing it. Quests are
automatically saved periodically (every 60 seconds) and when you exit the
game. There's no extra interaction required from the user. To be extra
safe, the user can click the "Save Quests" button on the game menu.
The "Reset Quests" button will erase all quest state information stored in
your character file. This can only be done from the host of the game, and
will only affect the character who clicks on it.
All items new to Revived will _not_ function if you go back into an
unmodified game of Dungeon Siege.
III. Removal
To remove this modification, delete the revived.dsres, ikkyo.dsdll, and
dbghelp.dll files. Or, more simply, the Revived folder if you chose that
method of installation.
IV. Compatibility Issues
This mod will conflict with other mods that modify the base templates. I
don't know which ones, but be warned. This mod should be compatible with all
versions of Dungeon Siege >= 1.1. There are no conflicts for characters
brought in from "normal" Dungeon Siege games, quests will just be uncompleted
initially.
All players need a copy of this modification to play in other's games.
You are advised not to use other modifications while running Dungeon Siege
Revived, as you will most likely run into problems.
This mod will only work with Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna's DSLOA.exe.
To use this mod in normal Dungeon Siege or with LoA's DungeonSiege.exe,
please use the non-LoA version of Revived instead. It's a seperate download.

I'm just a freelance coder. My biggest project has probably been Desert
Crisis (www.desertcrisis.com), a Half-Life mod. There I am the lead/only
coder. I also created the semi-popular Multiplayer Quest Save mod for the
original Dungeon Siege. That mod is integrated fully into this one.
Send any bugs/issues or suggestions to me via email. You may also contact me
on the siegeworks.org message boards if you wish. I haven't tested the whole
game yet, so the comments will be appreciated.
