Please follow the Install Directions Carefully. I will gladly help if I can, but, as many of you may know it's rather hard to explain things to people without actually being there in person. All folders are labeled so it should be really easy to figure out where things go. Enjoy!!!
Installation:
1. Place the folders "UR" and "Gfx" in: Documents\My Games\Elemental\Mods .
2. In that directory you'll see the folder "Gfx". When placing the Gfx folder from the mod in there you may be asked to over-write, do so. Don't worry, it will not over-write anything else you may have in the folder, it will only place the new files in the folder.
3. Place the "UR" folder in Documents\My Games\Elemental\Mods .
Note: You may need to hunt down and delete any old files from previous versions you may have. Those files are old and don't work and may cause problems if you install the new version over them as the new version's files have been re-named to a new standard naming convention.
MAJOR Credits and props go to Impinc for helping me out with the Fix for the XML's for this version!!! Thanks Imp!!!
Zombies!!!!
Zombies are now in league with the forces of the undead. Notice the flesh damage and bones sticking out. Not to mention some extra blood and gore.
Undead Rising 2.1 features a Fully Functional Undead Faction. The faction of "Ravenloft" from the D&D realm by the same name. Ravenloft is more precisely known as the "Demiplane of Dread" and it is populated mostly by powerful undead creatures and Lords of Darkness. One of these lords is a powerful Vampire named Strahd and it is he who leads the forces of Ravenloft in Undead Rising 2.0. You can either play as the faction yourself or place it in the world and it can fight against you and the other Elemental Sovereigns. The AI will use both the custom Skeleton Skin OR the Custom Zombie Skin when creating units, so expect to see both. The Mod also allows the player to create either a Skeletal or Zombie Sovereign.
Here's Strahd's Story taken straight from his Sovereign Background in the Mod. This explains how the forces of Ravenloft got to the world of Elemental to begin with, enjoy:
Strahd is the Vampire Lord of Ravenloft. Trapped on the Demiplane of Despair, the ancient Vampire longed for a return to a living world, fresh with the blood of the living to sustain his eternal hunger. The Dark Powers that have kept Strahd a prisoner of Ravenloft for so very long have finally slipped up in their ever vigilant watch to keep the ancient Vampire trapped in their dimension. Using a great planar gate and the life force of many many innocent people, Strahd was able to open a planar gate that swallowed all of his capitol city. When the gate finally sealed its-self, Strahd, and in fact his whole city, were transported to a new world in a new dimension. The World of Elemental. Now Strahd has only one goal. To defeat the channelers and drain their life essence. Then he will assume his place as the New God of Death in the world of Elemental. Who can stop him and his ravaging hordes of undead minions?

A Note on Creating New Units:
When creating a new Undead Unit, if you click "Design" and get a Skeleton and want a Zombie, just click "Cancel" and then click "Design" again. There is a 50/50 chance of getting either skin to show up. Enjoy the faction of Ravenloft!!!!
Special Thanks:
Everyone give a very Special Thank You to Impinc and Dhuran from the Dragonlance Team, because without their knowledge helping me this Mod would Not have been possible. Thank You Impinc and Dhuran!!!! Also Special thanks to Heavenfall for a last minute Clothing Hotfix!!!
I don't want it to be good. I just want the ability to add one more faction of undead to a game I play. So instead of facing 1 undead team I can face 2.
Kind of like how you can add both Tarth and Capitar to a game. They're basically identical, but still different factions.
Ahh, ok. Yeah I think we can do that. I'll brain-storm on another undead faction we can use.
What's the status of this mod? Is it still alive? Undead rules!
Right now, I'm afraid all my modding is on hold, or "hiatus" while I'm getting ready for the surgeries I need. I've been pretty sick (I have Crohn's disease) and I've been in too much pain to stay in a sitting up position for more than an hour or so a day. Makes it really hard to sit in front of the PC.
After my surgeries my modding will continue full force. I've seen some of Heavenfall's recent work on here that looks simply AMAZING and I've been planning on talking to him about incorporating a few things into the next version of Undead Rising and John_Hughes our resident Super Tile Maker has sent me some tiles I have stored for insertion into the next version.
Unfortunately I've lost pretty much all contact with my Team, which is my fault for not being around, so hopefully I can get back in touch with them when I'm ready and I need them.
What's up, RavenX? What did you have planned?
Let me work up a plan of what I had in mind. I have to go back and find the posts in which you showed the work you did (which I think is very impressive btw ). I don't like to go on about my health issues but it's relevant to the topic so I don't have much choice. I've been in this chair for a couple hours already today and I'm already starting to pay for it with queasiness and pain, so I need to go back and lay down for a couple hours until the queasiness calms down and the pain subsides. Either later tonight or tomorrow I'll work up a draft of what I have in mind and either reply here or send you a PM on it and we'll see what we can do . My uncle who has the laptop I use when he's home will be here this weekend and I can use that from in bed with minimal discomfort so that might be a pretty good time to get some work done on what I'm thinking. Thank you brother.
Alright, looking forward to it. Take care.
Take care.
Best regards,Steven.
