ToB news

[Demoneq]

Seeing as the mod's website doesn't exist anymore, it's probably abandoned for good, sadly.

Roxane has taken over the mod and made the TOB content

Roxane has taken over the mod and made the TOB content

"Has taken over" without consent of the original author, as far as I know. There would be other words for that, but I will not write them.

Oof, I thought this sounded too good to be true. Thanks for calling out the BS for what it is Jastey.

Do you actualy know that or you are just speculating

[jastey]

I am speculating with my knowledge as G3 staff. I am also speculating because Roxanne did nowhere write that she has permition from the original authors. Which is part of why I am speculating that she doesn't have it.

True, but you can always ask her/him. But then again she/he only did the TOB addon for Amber so I don't see any problem with that since this mod is dead for 8 years. And if it is on BWinstaller I think she/he has permission.

Being as the ToB add-on also removes the singular, unique feature that prompted Darios and Meira to write Amber, the answer's a pretty clear no.

 

Though I admit I love the fact that it still carries the original readme, which includes the line "This mod may not be sold, published, compiled or redistributed in any form without the consent of its authors."

You are aware that the EE Setup Tool is maintained by Roxanne, yes?

The Player2 romance.

[jastey]

Exactly, there were some precautions and criteria mod NPCs needed to fulfill to prevent the romance to trigger for an NPC, so it's basically for a second PC-like created NPC for e.g. two players in a Multiplayer game.

Technically, a second PC in a multiplayer game, which is specifically not an NPC.  The intention was to keep it from triggering for any NPC (original or mod), but since this required some quite tricky scripting due to the limitations of the original Infinity engine, it may not be completely foolproof in the case of mod NPCs if they don't follow some of the technical conventions of the original NPCs.

Just to clear the issue and avoid any misunderstanding: no, Roxanne most definitely does not have our permission to host, much less alter or expand the mod (in fact the readme of the mod explicitly prohibits this, as Cam pointed out), and what little I have seen of the added content, it most definitely does *not* represent Meira's or my original vision of Amber or our original style. We are currently working on getting the unsanctioned versions taken down, since there is no justification for them, considering that the version hosted by G3 (with our permission and cooperation) should be compatible with the new versions of BG2.
