WHAT IS THE SiC SKILL PATCHER?

This patcher is intended to alter the normal version 2.21B of
Sanctuary in Chaos to do two things:

1) Change the Druid's Armageddon skill into a cold-based skill
called Celestial Tempest

2) Improve damage on several Amazon spear/javelin tree skills


WHY WAS THIS PATCHER MADE?

Because many people noted that the druid had only one cold-based
skill in normal SiC, and because some people complained the 
spearazons couldn't do enough damage.


HOW DO I USE THE PATCHER?	

First, make a copy of the normal Sanctuary in Chaos patch_d2.mpq
file and save it someplace, in case you don't like the changes
made by this patcher and want to go back to the "old" patch for
the mod.

Second, put the "original" SiC patch into a folder along with ALL
the files in this patcher download.

Third, once the original SiC patch and the patcher files are in the
same folder, double-click the mymod.bat file (NOT the mymod.txt file;
only double-click the .bat version of the file).

Fourth watch as a window briefly pops up, some text scrolls, and then
the window either disappears or the text stops scrolling.

Five, put the now-altered SiC patch into your D2 folder and play
the mod as normal. The Armageddon skill should now be changed and
spearazon damage should be much better.


IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

Yes. The changes to the Armageddon skill crash Diablo 2 on some
computers. Not all computers, but enough that you shouldn't be 
surprised if it happens. That's why I told you to save a copy of 
the patch_d2.mpq file for the SiC mod so that you can trash this
altered version you just made, in the event that it causes you
to crash the game.
