K4thos Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 1. Are we there yet? no 2. When the version 1.0 will be released? no ETA unfortunately. Sorry that initial "around patch 2.0" estimation didn't work out 3. What's left to do? - finish testing new patch 2.0 features (among other things deciding if/how MoveToCampaign action will be used) edit: done - testing new BG1 -> BG2 transition system based on SoD code (NPCs are moved to BG2 location not during transition but once you visit that area, characters disabled via DestroySelf) - updating mod patches (after decinging what to do with global scripts) edit: done - testing SoD implementation - updating readme and documentation - publishing "release candidate" and waiting for feedback - waiting for WeiDU update that supports new file format extraction 4. Reasons for the delay - moving from unemployment into full time job (if you can call working 12-16 hours a day full time ), - rather late access to EE builds with all features implemented Link to comment
Ulb Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Damn, a full time job.. that's poison for the release schedule! Seriously though, glad you found something. Good for you! I'll hold off on SoD until I can play it in my first EET run. Link to comment
AL|EN Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Don't worry! It's better to wait for fully featured and tested mod then struggle with is after installation and being at the half of the game Link to comment
Roxanne Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Damn, a full time job.. that's poison for the release schedule! Ah. there was a 17-18 year wait...so what is another month or two...real life still has priority - and honestly nobody could have expected EET on the very date of SoD release anyway.... And you know, first impressions are important, so rather wait a bit longer but have a new game (and new modding platform) that works well and encourages a lot of players to try it out. Seriously though, glad you found something. Good for you! Same from me. I'll hold off on SoD until I can play it in my first EET run. Definitely, it is supposed to be the missing link between the two parts, so I will wait to have the ONE game available. Link to comment
subtledoctor Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 heh heh, looks like the 2.0/SoD release is a bit... bumpy. On OS X with BGEE direct from Beamdog it all works pretty well for me. But Windows/Steam users are hosed. Link to comment
AWizardDidIt Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (if you can call working 12-16 hours a day full time ), O.o I don't call that "full time" I call that slave labor! Take your time and I hope the job works out well for you! Gives me more time to edit and revise the IWD writing portion of the mod anyway Link to comment
AL|EN Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Ach yet another "windows being bad for you" rant...Game works fine for me. Link to comment
White Agnus Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 - waiting for WeiDU to acknowledge SoD separate KEY file Didn't need to wait for that, the separate mod.KEY file is not needed (everything is handled through the chitin.key), I think this was only some debug file... Link to comment
Fouinto Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Fell free to take the time you need (or even more : the time you want ) Link to comment

Hmm, I've to correct my post, the steam version uses the mod.key file, but the better question is when weidu is ready to add support for the sod-dlc.zip (SoD is completely packaged in it, weidu have to unpackage, then install the mod and repackage and use the centralfix.exe to install Mods for SoD... ) Link to comment

So no chance to extend any mod into SoD for the time being. Is it not possible to just unzip the stuff , rename mod.key to chitin.key and move it all to override?? Sorry, forgot that at the moment it is just an extension, not yet part of the game until EET integrates it... Link to comment
White Agnus Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Sure, EET could unzip the file, rename the key file, reload everything and then progress, but that's not really modder friendly... Link to comment

Agree - not every modder will contribute to EET - but those who did work for BGEE mods would probably like to extend their mod into SoD. And not exclude all those (like me) who made the mistake of taking the steam or Gog version of the game. Link to comment
DrakeEB Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Any news on this awesome mod and a potential release? Also will it be integrated into BWS? Link to comment
