Aetherial Endeavors Fixes

The fixes mod for the Aetherial Endeavors modpack, for Outward Definitive Edition.

It's already included with the pack. Update it through r2modman and launch the game normally. There are no settings to change. If you play together, everyone should use the same version.

What it fixes

• Broken trainer dialogue, including Leo.
• A Quests of Aurai error when loading areas without its Vendavel quest.
• Errors with NPC Weapons loot setup and blood-weapon pickups.
• Several broken skills and effects, including Avatar of Ice, Trail Blaze, Freeze, Mild Migraine, Ice Nova and Heal Self.
• Cooking Master effects and Decay Sigil's cleanup.
• Thief's backpack stealth bonus and Lost Memories' mana-cost penalty.
• Several missing visuals, item labels and mod-loading errors.
• Repeated ExtendedEffects messages and an unnecessary missing-file error from Mods Communicator.

Experimental

Version 0.1.3 still needs an in-game test. Automated checks passed, and the latest game log confirmed that the earlier fixes are working. This does not fix every issue in the pack yet.

The missing Shadow conversion items, some other missing references and NPC movement warnings still need work. This update adds more information to the log to help identify the movement problem.

The fixes keep the mods' existing values wherever possible. They don't change your pack settings or edit your saves.

The patch backs up supported files before repairing them and leaves unknown versions alone. Removing the patch does not undo those repairs; reinstall the affected mods with the patch disabled to return to their original files.

More fixes will be added here as issues are confirmed. Thanks to the original mod authors for the content that makes the pack possible.
