DavidW Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ... though no ETA. (I'm only really posting this because I see CamDawg is around again at the moment and it would be silly if we both ended up doing parallel under-the-radar IWD-in-BG2 fixes!) Link to comment
CamDawg Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well... last time I came back I promised a lot and delivered nothing (thankfully aVENGER has picked up Tweaks & Fixpack). Let's say that I would very much like to see this finished, but I don't want to leave another batch of promises unfulfilled. Link to comment
DavidW Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Actually, iirc you did a huge amount of very tedious manual fixing - exactly the kind of thing I hate doing. All of that found its way into v7, which almost passed critical-path testing. I don't actually think there's much to do to finish off now (I just got busy around late Feb and haven't got around to returning to it till now) and I don't think it'll take too long for me to do.

CamDawg Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ha, I meant more along the lines of Tweaks v10, Fixpack v10, IWD UB, IWD IU, etc. I actually had most of those close to completion before losing them in a comp upgrade and couldn't bear to re-do them. Link to comment
lynx Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I suggest the likes of github. There's nothing better than a free distributed backup system. Plus it makes contributions easier for those who know the details. Link to comment

I think IWD-in-BG2 is cursed. I lost the source-code for version 6 and had to recreate it from the v5 sourcecode and the v6 distribution version. (And I'm normally incredibly anal about realtime backups, remote backing up etc.) Link to comment

CamDawg, If you don't start someday, the situation will only repeat itself eventually. You're preaching to the choir, actually--for some reason people pay me for code IRL. I've just never bothered for what I consider to be my hobby stuff as it's, you know, a hobby. Link to comment
Azazello Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 ... though no ETA. I would very much like to see this finished, but I don't want to leave another batch of promises unfulfilled. Y'all can take as long as you like to finish this. No rush, imo. I just want to see it happen, whenever, however. The thought of playing {the-horrible-mess-currently-known-as} un-BG2'ed IwD again--even with your great efforts to fix it thru mods--sends shudders and shingles all thru meself. Link to comment
DavidW Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 New patch (v7.11, if I haven't lost count) in the next day or two. Link to comment
