Instructions:

STACKS, MAPS & TWEAKS MOD - For Arx Fatalis by Soopytwist ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** IMPORTANT: This mod requires Arx Libertatis! *** Q. What's all this then? A. A mod that makes most inventory items stack to 20 (instead of 10) and makes some items stack that didn't before. Q. Is that all? A. Nope. It also improves and fixes a few bugs with the in-game maps (both minimap and full maps). Q. Anything else? A. Yes. Some localisation text has been changed, e.g the portal transport names match the new map names. Q. "New map names"? A. Correct, the images that appear when a map loads now displays the level number and location that is about to load. Q. So less likely to get lost and confused eh? A. Absolutely! Q. Anything else I should know? A. Sure, check it out:- Other modifications: - Inut's Sword and Bow now have proper names and descriptions. - Inut's Giant Sword damage has been doubled and strenth requirement is 15 instead of 18. - Inut's Magic Bow is orientated vertically in the inventory. - Two-handed sword mould in the Dwarf Factory is orientated vertically the same as the sabre mould. - Book text in the Arx Palace for mixing mana potions now says powdered "Morning Glory" instead of "lily". - Added a brief chapter on enchanting to the same book as above, so players have an understand of this before they find the Ultimate Weapon book. - All enchantable weapons, armour and shields have better descriptions once enchanted (e.g DMG+20 +Strength 3) - Various item name replacements and better descriptions. - Liches can no longer cast Curse and insta-kill the player. - Putting on Ylside armour no longer plays Kultar's voiceover and cut-scene due to being able to trigger it at inappropriate moments. - New book "The Mysteries of Finance. By Ottoman Nodge" replaces the placeholder book about money. Q. We done? A. Yes, now go play. But remember to start a new game! Q. Oh, why's that then? A. No idea, the game seems to chose what works for exsiting saves and what doesn't. Annoying I know but also unavoidable. Q. Well that sucks. A. That wasn't a question, but yes I agree. It does suck.

Arx Improved Maps

Description: "A minimap and map mod that makes the background transparent."

Instructions:

This is a simple map edit that makes the white background cluttering the minimap and map completely transparent. Which means you only see the areas where you are able to move.

This will make your minimap and map look clean and less noisy.

Simply place the Graph folder in your Arx Fatalis folder.

But keep in mind, that if you already have a levels folder inside the Graph folder, you need to delete the levels folder, since these files are .png and doesn't overwrite the .bmp files or jpg files, if you have any. If not, you're good to go.

I used the map.bmp files from soopytwist's Stacks Maps and Tweaks Mod, converted them to map.png and made background transparent. So please credit him and check out his mod, as it has some great features.
