1. Description
--------------
This mod adds a new amulet to the game, which when worn will grant you the
ability to speak to the dead. It has the same effect as the "Chant of the Dead",
and my other similar mod "Speak with the Dead Spell".
This mod is fully compatible with existing saved games.
2. Usage
--------
DeadAmulet.ds2res
**************
Contains the amulet and is needed for it to show up in game. It should never cause any conflicts
with other mods and it doesn't modify anything - everything is new content. I believe it should
drop randomly throughout the game, off mid level monsters.
DeadAmulet_Purchase.ds2res
***********************
Forces the amulet to appear in the magic shop in Eirulan. Requires DeadAmulet.ds2res.
The icon is an amulet shaped like a skull.
Place into your Resources directory, usually:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Dungeon Siege 2\Resources

let me know and I'll try lower it a bit.

You are free to use any content in the mod (the tank is not protected). Credit would be
nice, but it's such a small mod I don't think it's worth the effort of typing my name

I can not find the amulet in the magic shop in Eirulan or so far in any monster drops. Yes I have both resource files installed.
some possible solutions to try:
1. try installing the mod to the bw resources folder instead. gpg changed the ds2 world shops in bw v2.3 via the xds2world.ds2map file in the bw maps folder so putting the mods' files in the bw resources folder might solve this issue. u can also try retanking with a slightly higher priority but i dont think it wud do anything.
2. also try this mod using ds2mod.exe in the ds2 toolkit to see if the amulet appears and/or drops. if it does, its likely a bw ds2 world shop related resource conflict issue as described above.
the maker of this mod shud have said this mod might conflict with other shop mods as modifying the shops.gas file to force the amulet to appear can cause a mod conflict.
I will try the things you noted thank you.
being the age of the mod, even installed in bw resources it probably wont show up, as bw is newer than the mod so would overwrite the shops.gas file, and the fact the amulet is a unique means it wont drop from monsters very much either. the mod should be retanked with a current shops.gas file combining any mods u use that have a shops.gas. the amulet itself cant be sold or pet eaten, so that part should be changed as well assuming one would get more than one of these amulets.
Sounds like a good Idea DE I shall do that.
