Please update forums/website news/download

Mod has been updated, the link here should work.

 

 

The mod apparently was updated January of 2015; the link provided in the above post by author reports a version '2', but the updated version isn't reported in the main G3 website news, and the link provided in the main G3 page still links to a version 1. Would be helpful it this were clarified; maybe adding version number to the file name is a good idea as well.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get in touch with a G3 admin; I have no direct power over website news or the main G3 page.

I can create an official package and update the download center and announcements. I should be able to get it done tomorrow.

Mike does this new v2 of NPC Stronholds at G3 is the one compatible with BG2EE? Kish said that CawDawg make it compatible, but I wanted to be sure if it's this version indeed.

[Mike1072]

My understanding is that the mod is compatible with regular BG2 and BG2EE.

According to the above thread the latest version is .... 8... updated in 2016? Yet the latest version in downloads seems to be 2 from much earlier. Anyone aware what the story is?

[Mike1072]

Fixed.  v8 is now available from the download center.

[Arthas]

question: why did mod's version go from v2 to v8, instead of v3?

Also, will the mod ever get fixed?

See thing is, it was v3, v4, v5, v6 and v7, before the v8 came up, if you just look at the linked posts version data... but the G3 download centers file was not updated, just the dropbox one, was. Assuming a little here.

Oof... Someone dropped the ball a little.  

Still, thanks for updating the download page finally... better late than never I suppose, although it's too late for my current run (installation order has it before SCS and other major mods; there's no way I'm reinstalling all those at this point).

Hopefully I won't run into serious bugs still running version ... 2... holy cow... that's 6 updates that have been MIA for who knows how long.

 

This is a highly underrated,  conceptually wonderful mod imho, much better than 90% of NPC related mod content out there; some of the writing/characterization is arguably better than Beamdog/EE added NPC content. It's a real pity that it's being treated like a one legged stepchild (no recent updates/bugfixes, newer version not available for download etc.)
