    *Features*
    Changes to behaviour of NPCs:
    - granted full access to inventory of npc (that is, no more restriction to take items from npc's inventory).
    - disabled autoselling to shops (manually dragging from npc's inventory to shop window works ok. Money goes to pc account.).
    - disabled autolevelup.
    - disabled looting.

    Another simple patch...

    Drifter u dead-set legend

    Very nice... but auto-levelup was Co8 patched out a while back, wasn't it? Whatever, keep em coming!

    Hey Drifter, being the clever fella u r, by all means take a crack at those sound issues i have been cataloguing, I haven't had time to make any headway and as Gaear says it would make a significant difference to gameplay.

    On a related topic, can u tell me what a call to the Mersenne looks like in the .dll?

    I did the patch and it said "patch successful" but it doesn't seem to work. The maxhp one works okay. Do you need to start a new game? I'm pretty sure I installed it right because maxhp works.

    Yes, that's great, really! Does it interfere with the "NPCs level up like PC" patch? I hope it doesn't, and anyway it must be integrated with the next relases and with the bard spell fix lately relased.
    Bye!

    Now it seems too easy to "take" all those classy magic items Elmo is carrying ;D.

    It's up to the player.... c'mon. If for somebody it's funny, let him do.
    All the others that don't like power Playing will avoid such actions.
    And anyway, better this than a foolish looting where NPCs get encumbered or keep items that are completely useless for themseves.

    Hey, relax. It was not a complaint. It was just a comment after some minutes trying to put the most stupid equipment in some of those annoying NPCs.


    ... but the path to the Dark Side is sooooo easy ;) .

    Well, maybe it was. Then there is also a mod which disables looting among other things. Then there are some script solutions to that npc-inventory-selling thing. All of these change data files, so are prone to be overwrited by other fan mods and to compatibility issues between mods, and most of them require to start a new game.
    My patch doesn't change any data files but temple.dll directly and doesn't have aforementioned problems.

    No. Just ignores it.

    Describe how it doesn't work.
