Problem: If the user is running a mod from a zip file, and the mod contains soundfx.xml, the user will experience all manner of unholy issues, the most common of which is they can select the mod's abilities, but the abilities don't work. Proviso: Things appear to generally work fine if the mod is unzipped. People: confirmed by the tremendously clever and patient Kaidelong. Possibly confirmed by Essence, OmniNegro, and many others, who report problems but not always consistently with one another in description or detail level. Por ejemplo: Dire Gourmand, Tactics mod (be a smart fighter!)
I can confirm this. There are mods that simply make no sense except when unzipped. They can appear in the mod list, be enabled, and the skills they provide can be chosen, and skill points can even be put in them in some cases, but a number of issues come up that defy explanation. Note that I have disabled sounds and music entirely, so this makes even less sense. Would it be helpful to have a list of the mods this effects that I happen to know of?
