Glad to hear, fingers crossed. Thank you.

This looks so amazing it makes a sad panda that's it's EE only. Congrats on the teaser release.

Publicly release a mod or maintain one?

Rereading this thread, I feel the G3 logo shoud have its "Infinity Engine Modding Community" moniker updated to "A site for IE modding, for fuck's sake". Make it happen, Cam.

I probably wouldn't take my own advice (who listens to randoms on the internet on games you want to try out??). That said, you can consider this as the universe giving you fair warning (?) Completely avoid Fallout 3 and 4. You can safely omit Mass Effect 2 & 3. Arkham City is the best one and really the only one you need to play from that series. Witcher 1 and 2 aren't BAD but the 3rd one is miles ahead in everything. I love Bloodlines and Kotor 2 to death, absolutely play those, and make sure you play with Wesp's patch and TSLCRM (but avoid the droid planet, that one was cut for a reason). If your taste is similar to mine, you're going to want to replay the BGs anyway. EDIT Also, y u no Planescape: Torment???

Can you try doing The Five from Throne of Bhaal?

Then you have several more concerns as well, because as I expressed earlier, there are many other mods around that use other games' assets. Heh, if I was as great as you at creating areas, I wouldn't reuse assets from another game either. But still, to my knowledge, since I've been around (says 2007, was a lurker before), no mod has been "undone with the snap of a finger".

I'm sorry I can't allay your fears, but I won't lift an eyebrow based off of the opinion of some random gaming journalist. Most of them are trash anyway. IMO, Microsoft has bigger stuff to worry about and probably doesn't need the extra negative points with their own public that go along with persecuting non-profit modders. Furthermore, they might even consider this as beneficial ("hey, those maps look nice, why don't I check out the original game ?"). Fun fact, I pledged to the Kickstarter and loved the maps as I played it,, but didn't recognize them at first as belonging to PoE. What a snoozefest that was.

Congrats on the release.

It's not an argument for saying it's alright, it's an argument for saying this isn't a red line that has been crossed just about now. And that the consequences for such actions (infringement notwithstanding) were (as it seems from behind the counter, at least) null. But of course, this should go without saying. Frankly, the only time I was ever concerned witht the prospect of legal repercussions for the IE community was when Anvil went behind a paywall (sorry, "donation based"...), and that seemed to turn up nothing. Uh, no? Ive just mentioned a mod with another game's assets that is still available in SHS. Pretty sure there's more out there. This is even worse, because it uses and represents CHARACTERS from another game/IP. Almost 5 years and counting and is still up (was happy to play it upon release, happy to see it's still there). But you've just mentioned Tyris Flare in passing as if it was OK... This has been happening and is happening right now as we speak with already hosted mods, why is it different if a new mod does it? They should be restricted to a different standard because they arrived late to the party? Again, I perfectly understand if you don't like or think it should change, but it's nothing NEW.

I don't see why this would be an issue NOW. The Bigg Characters uses soundsets from Half-Life and Team Fortress (both by Valve, not a IE friendly company by default like Beamdog) and that has been around for 14 years, to name but the first one that came to my mind. Pretty sure one or more of the early mega mods like The Darkest Days, Shadows Over Soubar, etc etc lifted assets from Arcanum and other games as well. And those are ancient.

I've attached the last batch of bams to this post. Some more things I've just remembered: * At the very beginning of the mod, I think there was a reference to "Ascathla" * I believe the inventory BAMs for rounds 1 & 3 of the gauntlet medals are inverted. Thank you again for maintaining the mod. Sometime I'll give it another try using all the NWN NPCs. last bams.rar

I wanted to highlight this. Weidu has spoiled me when trying to install multiple mods in other games. While several others have done something similar with a monolithic install tool (unity mod manager, TSL patcher, etc), no other game I play has both the sheer amount of mods together and the stability that weidu/the IE community have provided.

No no, I was talking about the original NWN since Morgoth asked. I prefer the mod as well.

The whole game. But yeah, chapter 3 feels out of place. Spoilers if you're 20 years late to the party, heh:
