2. Mod description

A shop mod, this is.
It adds some great items.
Adds a store conjuring item and 3 new stores.
Adds over 20 items.

This mod was originally designed to add some L33T items to my games,
but it is currently used as a shop mod that adds powerful and expensive
items to the game.

Any suggestions are welcome to my e-mail, and i am often at the 
sorcerers.net boards.

The mod seems to be missing something, anyone finding it please mail it to me.

3. Mod technical notes & Random data

Programs used:

WeiDU
IEEP
Notepad
ConTEXT
ShadowKeeper
Near Infinity

The mod version updates are done by renaming the store files, so
the save game has not saved it.

5. Waves of insanity & Echoes of the God's voice



One has lots of time for reflection while waiting for the ENDLESS WAVES OF BAD DOGGIE WEREWOLF MONSTERS THAT CHEW YOUR TOES WHILE YOU SLEEP!!


Many many pretties... piled high beyond the sky. (sigh) 


Ooo!  Shiny ones!!


"I once knew a Red Mage of Thay
 Who dreamed of lichdom some day.
 He said he knew how to do it
 But he still managed to screw it
 up in the funniest way"


"Hmmm...  find someone rich, and kill them.  Find someone richer, and kill them, too!  Hack and slash your way to fortune!  Woo-hoo!!"



Tiax fails to see how this will aid in his ascension!

When Tiax rules, breeches shall not ride up so wedge-like!

Night would DARE hamper the sight of Tiax?!

The day comes when TIAX will point and click!

7. FAQ

Q: Why does it not install?

A: I don't know, but me guesses that you do not have the folder tzshop01 in your
   BG2 folder. If there is, check that inside the tzshop01 folder is the "backup"
   folder. Those 2 reasons have caused 2/3 of problems and 100% of install problems
   in my mod's history.

A2: You have ToB, right? 'Cause i have no idea about non-ToB using.

A3: Do you have anything in the BG2 folder write-protected?

8. Thanks

Westley Weimer - for the main tool

Jason Compton  - for some VERY important install help
(and because of Kelsey, of course)

Ghreyfain      - for the great WeiDU tutorial
(which did though cause most bugs in v.1.01)

This section is just notes for keeping track of the bigger updates.
Unless you are helping me to build te mod, i guess it will not benefit you much.


Added a lot of items

The mod works for people with no "TutorialNPC" folder in their BG2 folder.
(A Micro$oft class bug)

Added the Conjurable Stores upgrade to the mod.

Divided the items into 3 shops.

Maked sure the unzipping process with WinZip would create the backup folder.

Updated the Conjurable stores to check if you freed the slaves
to open the special Copper Coronet. (There was the first good global)
