Recent EE Game Changes

[CoM_Solaufein]

Since I've been out of the modding loop since, lets say 2016, has there been any changes in the EE games in regards to modding? Coding, scripting, mod installation, etc.

[Jarno Mikkola]

Well, one thing is the EET that was say announced in 2016, has had it's 12 release candidates. It's technically not complete yet, but it's very playable as is. Or so I am told.

So is this the Big World Project or whatever that mod is called at SHS, replacement?

[Jarno Mikkola]

No, it's a replacement for BGT-weidu, and that sorta mods, like TuTu.

Ouh, and the BWP and BWS are dead. Now there's Project Infinity, or as I call it wee, A no managed install tool to not give you a mod install order, but rather automate installs. And a BWE, a BWS variant that was made to be used only in the EE engine and features Roxanne's own mod as the principle piece.

Big World Project is not dead? @Leonardo Watson has some cycle times for updates and might not be available in between.

Lovely.

We also have this install order guide, a work in progress.

The EE 2.6 patch is in beta.  Further details TBA.

Please don't use Github as download links for G3 stuff. Use the links to the download center, e.g. this for Tweaks Anthology.

Since 2016?  I don't remember exactly when the change occurred, but I think Description Icons for items went back to being BAMs (for a while they were 32-bit BMPs).  Also, areas no longer need MOS files.  That one might have been when the version jumped to 2.
