You just have to decide to not cheat. :) After all there is many ways to cheat and this just introduces one more. Just resist one more temptation. As it is single player game cheating affects only yourself so nothing bad in it if you want to do it. Just don't cheat so much it ruins the game for yourself.

And thanks for mod. It is very nice. Saved me from so much standing around twiddling my thumbs.

I'm not understanding you on this one. You mean a chest gave you 60 more max mana? Unlikely it is this mod since the only thing this mod "writes" in the game is the current mana and rage It never updates max mana. But if you can repeat it...

You are right, it's not connected with this mod at all - I was able to repeat it both with and without the mod. Sorry for false accusation!

But game bug there is! I open box which says 7000 gold and as a side effect my max mana is raised by 30. Very nice positive bug :rolleyes:

I think there may be a bug when this mod is combined with version 1.65. Namely, my mana keeps rising; I'm a level 5 mage with 112 mana, with no recollection where I accumulated that much (i.e. I couldn't have).

And when I remove the mod, the mana remains at that level, which feels like cheating. :-x

I don't see how that's possible unless bman made an error in his calculations. Try replicating the bug only when the mod is active, otherwise you're having the same problem as the poster before you.

Well, this is the first time I'm using this mod, and I have never had mana increase like that before, so I don't see how it could be something other than this mod causing this.

Unless it's clashing with one of the other mods...I have two other mods in addition to this one - the next generation, and the improved user interface. I can try removing these, but I doubt anything will change.

EDIT: Nope. Eh, I guess I'll keep playing this game, I can't be arsed to restart.

P.S.: I have decided to keep using the mod after all. I wonder just how much the mana pool will increase still. Perhaps I'll set some kind of record. :D

Well mine doesn't deal with character stats and interface mod is purely cosmetic so there shouldn't be any relation. Like I said, to make sure it's actually a bug in the mod, you need to be able to replicate it and only with the mod active.

Read earlier in the thread. Someone else said sometimes the max mana just goes up by 30 for no reason when opening a chest. He did some tests and proved it wasn't the mod's fault but a bug in the game. Anyway you can use the console cheat to lower your max mana back to a normal amount. I don't recall the exact command but I think it also is earlier in the thread.

If it's a bug in the game, how come it has never happened before, in three full games and a couple partial, without the mod?

Don't get me wrong, it's great that we have people who are willing to spend time on improving or diversifying the game, I just can't make sense of this being a core game bug.

Well it stands to reason that unless you can find a liable cause for the bug or an instance of recurrence, it's more likely an error within the game code (which covers everything) rather than the mod (which supposedly has nothing to do with max mana), and the fact that it's happening now merely a matter of circumstance.

(sorry for the fancy words) :P
