+Buskers
+by Len Popp lpopp@igs.net
+Version 1.0
+
+A pair of buskers that perform songs and magic tricks several times per day.
+
+NOTE: Requires Neverwinter Nights version 1.25 or later
+
+How To Use
+----------
+1. Import the file buskers.erf into your NWN module.
+2. Place the two NPC's in the area where you want them to perform:
+    Alia (lmpPerformer1) and Donie (lmpPerformer2)
+3. Optional: Place any or all of the following objects near the performers:
+  - The waypoints where they perform: lmpPerformer1Perform, lmpPerformer2Perform
+  - The waypoints where they wait: lmpPerformer1Home, lmpPerformer2Home
+  - Their Collection Purse (lmpPerformPurse)
+  - Their sign (lmpPerformSign)
+  - Chairs, stools, bedrolls or rugs to sit on at the home waypoints
+4. Optional: Change the frequency of performances by editing the script
+    lmpperfmisc and changing the value of nHoursBetweenPerformances. Build the
+    module after editing the script.
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+If you have a previous version of this package in your module, import this
+version of buskers.erf and select all resources to overwrite the old ones.
+NOTE: The "Collection Purse" placeable was updated in versin 0.9.2, so you
+should select it in the palette and Update All Instances. (Or not, it's not a
+critical change.)
+
+What They Do
+------------
+At various times during the day, the two performers move to their "perform"
+waypoints and put on a little show for whoever is around. Sometimes Alia sings,
+sometimes Donie does a magic trick (or tries to). If anyone has an idea how to
+simulate juggling in NWN, I'd like to hear it.
+
+Players who enjoy the show may put money (or other goodies) in the collection
+purse. Players who are caught stealing from the purse will be asked to give it
+back; if they refuse a fight ensues.
+
+Between shows, the performers sit at their home waypoint or on a chair or stool
+nearby.
+
+Thanks to Rhodan for RemoveEffectType.
