Each of the above Mods should be installed into a unique folder within your override directory.
Then the zMerger folder should be installed into that directory as well (delete the included quickspell.xml file though).
See the Screenshot for an example.
The letter ordering is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. The Merger folder has to be last alphabetically in order to override the other Mods.
The Mods are kept separate for (relative) ease-of-updating and to hopefully reduce reliance upon perpetual updates for every minor change in the parent Mods.
This combines Kaedrin's PRC Pack with the Tome of Battle, Mage Tome, and Wild Mage Mods, and then adds in Reeron's Maddening Scream, Blast of Flame, Freezing Sphere, Time Stop, Mystic Theurge, Palemaster, Harper, and RDD abilities.
It, unfortunately, does not simply require merging/updating a bunch of 2da files. Quite a number of scripts also have to be merged and expanded to recognize PRCs or abilities added by non-parent Mods. Afterward, those scripts had to be recompiled.
That is what this does.
----------------------

Spellcasting Sneak Attack Support
Force Wall support for line/chain spells
Zombification Support

----------------------
Version Numbers
----------------------
Kaedrin's PRC Pack: 1.39.3
Mage Tome: 0.75
Spell Fixes and Improvements: 6.01
Tome of Battle: 1.102
Wild Mage Class: 1.3
This only updates the Dialog.tlk, .2da files, and Dragon Shape script (as well as fixing some Mage Tome related things). I may get around to updating the scripts as well... but that's a lot more effort.
Since most of the scripts are not updated, new(er) spells/abilities will not have cross-mod support and there may be oddities with their functionality. Use at your own risk.
And a recompiled animal companion spell script. Strange that Cyphre doesn't include that in his download. The include alone won't do anything. _________________________ Nemo non Morior Anime Overviews MP3 Player Playlist

Awesome... Add in RoF, Cyphre Loki's Companion/Familiar packs, and you could rival LadyD as the master assimilator (not to mention becoming my favorite download...

Idle Comment: These x2_s0... scripts are horrifing. Cure Other does Negative damage to Undead, and Combust is all kinds of screwed up. _________________________ Nemo non Morior Anime Overviews MP3 Player Playlist

Do note that most UI Mods are installed to your Neverwinter Nights 2/UI/custom folder. Not the override folder. Still, I don't know why they would cause you to not be able to cast spells. The xmls do call the Wildmage spellcasting hook, but lack of that hook should not completely disable spellcasting. I assume you do have both Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir installed, are patched to game version 1.23, and have the most recent versions of each of the parent Mods? _________________________ Nemo non Morior Anime Overviews MP3 Player Playlist
