Dark_Elf's Custom Pets Reloaded v2.0 for DungeonSiege II and Broken World
This mod combines Custom Pets Alpha 1.2 and Vampiric Trasak to make them compatible and no longer needed so they should be removed prior to installing this. Also users of v1 of this mod, may want to unload those pets
and start new, especially the pixie since i had to split it into 2 thus eliminating its original code from the petshop.
This mod makes a Haku Shaman, Battle Gorilla, (original gold values), Vampiric Trasak, Fellspine Mage, Pixie, Shadowy Naldrun, Skath Cat, Hyena, Birath, Vampire Carver Bat, Black Scorpion King,
2 Rust Guards, Happy Frog, Grizzly and Polar Bears, Garganturax, Haku Elder, plus male and female Druid Mercs available at the act 1, 2 and 3 pet shops for 666 gold.
The pets have the potential for 3 inventory pages but have to be fed to get them. the Shaman and Gorilla should do 6 pages if the original code is correct.
The pets should be available in act 1 provided no mods interfer, the petseller will be a Darkelf if the mod loads correctly.
The power i used for the trasak is soul harvest and the aura is 10% leach life.
The powers on the other pets are pretty much original DSII powers as its too time consuming to code new powers.
The Haku Shaman now has new spell graphics.
Added 4 summons: Gargantuax, PolarBear, Grizzly Bear and Spirit Wolf, which the 2 Druids at the petshop have for example.
The Druids have Diablo 2 LOD spells (well not quite but similar to) - Fissure, spirit_of_barbs, inferno, tornado, druid_spirit_embrace, molten_boulder, surge_of_healing, oak_sage, heart of wolverine
and unlike the pets they are true mercs that come with armor.
The Elder Haku (red) used Jolt and Blind as its spells.
The Pixie is a combat mage Naldrun that gives mana instead of life, the Mana Rain spell works but casts every 30 seconds for some reason.
The Pixie has a new spell called Rip Mana which is like leach life except it steals mana instead.
Shadowy Naldrun is a combat mage that uses Fork Lightning and Static Bolt like its evil counterparts.
Birath is melee uses taunt and has a powerful Infect spell.
Fellspine Mage is ranged and has a new spell called Acid Bolt to go with its Jolt spell.
Happy Frog is ranged and uses a spit spell.
Scorpion King is ranged and is similar to Scorpion Queen except black.
2 Rust Guards are melee with taunt.
Vampire Carver Bat is melee uses taunt but has a leech life spell to make it vampire.
Skath Cat, Hyena Polar Bear, Grizzly Bear and Garganturax are pretty much like Direwolf and melee.

Installation Instructions:
1. Place CustomPetsReloaded.ds2res into the resources folder where Dungeon Siege II is installed. (Program files\Microsoft Games\Dungeon Siege 2\Resources)
2. if you are using broken world then you must also place xbwcustompetfiles.ds2res into the Program Files\2K Games\Dungeon Siege 2 Broken World\resources folder this file isn't required for ds2 users just broken world users.
3. Please use AllSaves or Elys Succubus Manager without the succubus modlet checked to play this mod... can use regular DungeonSiege 2 too, but don't blame me for messed up saves.
Uninstall Instructions:
1. Delete CustomPetsReloaded.ds2res and xbwcustompetfiles.ds2res from where there were installed, or use ds 2 mod manager to turn it off. But please be sure to remove items from the pet's inventories and send them to wild before prior to removal.
Requirements / Compatibility
Requirements: DungeonSiege II or BrokenWorld
Compatibility:
1. This mod is compatible with DS II or BW and should work with most mods with some exceptions below.
2. has compatibility issues with other pet mods that modify pet sellers (mainly Killer Gremal's Warhound mod which modifies pet shops) thus may not be available at all shops.
the act 2 pet seller however should work fine with all pets as I have included them in my vendors.
Also conficts with mods that change active_skills.gas since the battle gorilla and haku shaman add powers to it to give them thier own power.
Please dont use this mod with hotfix, aranna legacy or Elys succubus modlet loaded or problems may occur.
Known Bugs:
Mana Rain dont seem to want to stop casting but works otherwise. If you have problems please let Dark_Elf know!
