Domi Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hmm... while we are on that, maybe we can do some sort of History of IE Modding? Since I was no here for that long, please, feel free to correct and add events: 1999 - A YEAR OF INFINITY - this year started it all. The modding community sort of emerges (?) from the core players... 1999 - BG1 is released. 1999(?) - TeamBG established c 1999/2000 - TDD is released c 1999/2000 - first fan made fixes are released (?) ? - NI released ?- Older DU's? ? - IESDP established? c 2000-2001: Arnel's Nalia and Tashia are out (?) In 1999-2000 the TeamBG utilities are the main tools on the market 2001- BG2SoA (or was it 2000?) 2001 - A YEAR of WeiDU (?) I think that's when not satisfied with TeamBG tools Weimer creates WeiDU 2001 - WeiDU is created, Weimer works on Solaufein (?) 2001- FWP created to host Kelsey 2002 - FWStudios is established as a separate site from FWP 2002 - Mods stop being a rarity and modded NPCs are in works 2002 - (?) DLTCEP is started in order to create a Total conversion from BG2 to Dragon Lance world and promotes creation of DLTCEP tool c 2002 - CoM(?) forums created c 2003 - Blackship (?) forums created 2003 - G3 forums created 2003 - TUTU is created and lunched as the first successful application of Weimer's WeiMORPH 2004 - PPG created and FWP and FWS are merged into FW Link to comment
CamDawg Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 In the interests of being a RAEL MODDING COMMUNITY, I feel that G3 must also have its own biased version of events. As such, I've used Domi's post as a staring point for an IE modding history. 1999 - A YEAR OF INFINITY - this year started it all. The modding community sort of emerges (?) from the core players... 1999 - BG1 is released. 1999(?) - TeamBG established c 1999/2000 - TDD is released c 1999/2000 - first fan made fixes are released (?) ? - NI released ?- Older DU's? ? - IESDP established? c 2000-2001: Arnel's Nalia and Tashia are out (?)

Domi Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I should have thought about it! So much simpler! Link to comment
jester Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 That would set the record straight! Link to comment
jcompton Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Igi once proposed doing a "modder family tree" but abandoned it about 10 seconds later when he realized how much work it would be. There were a couple of attempts at partial modding history submitted to a Blackwyrm contest, but they sadly didn't get much attention. So, yeah, we'll just stick to our own personal histories which all look a lot like Cramd0g's. Link to comment
Domi Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Well, I am mostly curious about the prehistoric period... before anno Domi that is Link to comment
icelus Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Well, I am mostly curious about the prehistoric period... before anno Domi that is Anno Domi. I like that. Link to comment
BigRob Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 -1 AD was an interesting year. Lots of prepostrevisionism. There was also a rogue camel, which was later discovered to be a shrub. Link to comment
Domi Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Damn, and I missed all that?! I wish my Anomen's romance get screwed up earlier! Link to comment
Ghreyfain Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 As for the facts, I'm pretty sure it was 1998 = BG, 1999 = TotSC, 2000 = SoA, ToB = 2001. And as for biased histories: Kelsey and WeiDU started it all! I am 33% responsible for the mod revolution! Woohoo! Edit: Wait, wait, if we're to be really biased, I'll skew things even more in my favour. I am 34% responsible for it all. Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Well I think the stripdowns started it all. Sorry. Link to comment
NiGHTMARE Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I belive Circle of Eight was the first ever BG2 quest mod (predating even TDD), though I could be wrong. Link to comment
Echon Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I think DSotSC may have started it all. -Echon Link to comment
Kish Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I think DSotSC may have started it all. -Echon Nearly finished it all, too...it all being my computer in that instance. Link to comment
