genetix Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Wish you good luck on this one gonna be tough mod to do fluid and really easy to screw up storyline to consider. Link to comment
Senka Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I would play your mod! I miss Khalid, really... If you need beta-tester I'm ready Link to comment
Zireael07 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 I would play your mod! I miss Khalid, really... If you need beta-tester I'm ready Thank you for your kind offer, but there are two points to consider: 1) I already have betatesters at Polish CoB forum. It's mostly me asking 'how to do X' and 'why does Weidu get upset at Y', so it's not much of real testing yet; I don't think anyone has gone and played through it 2) The mod is now only in Polish; the English translation will be done after all the dialogues will have been written Link to comment
lynx Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 definitely include a unique item or two, they're awesome. Link to comment
Zireael07 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 definitely include a unique item or two, they're awesome. I think of modding the Harper Pin. BTW why can't I edit the first post? The boards let me edit any of my other posts, but not the first one... The alternate portrait by Kirara added to things already done. Link to comment
the bigg Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 The forum software is configured to kick you out and revoke editing privileges every time your IP changes (for standard end-user Internet connections, every time you disconnect and reconnect from the Internet). Link to comment

Ugh. So you'll have to follow my new posts, then. Doing it like at SHS was easier... Thanks for the explanation. And now I should really get to Jaheira... Link to comment
Shaitan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 My guess is, that many (most) here also peruse the SHS forum, so if you decide where to post updates those interested might just read that thread anyway wether it is at SHS or here... what I'm trying to say, chose a thread in a forum and just stick with that.

What do you mean? That I should give you a link to the SHS thread? That this thread was unnecessary? ----------- Anyway, the mod now features an alternate portrait by Kirara and a new version of a Harper Pin. I've started redoing Jaheira's dialogues. Link to comment

StrongArmand Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Did you change the story in the irenicus dungeon for this mod ? Link to comment
Zireael07 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Did you change the story in the irenicus dungeon for this mod ? The body is still there, but you don't get Jaheira and Imoen banter over it. Instead, you see a cutscene of Khalid fighting some mooks at the exit of the dungeon. The rest of the story is unchanged. The only lines of Jaheira's (and a tiny few others) that I change are the ones specifically referencing Khalid's death. Link to comment
