I just noticed that (just took a look at the comment David was quoting). I don't know if that's an insult to other people for being gregarious/unthinking or to David... But it definitely sounds unfriendly and bitter. (EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm only mentioning this, because it felt pretty ironic, considering the talk about being friendly, and passive-aggressive...). Anyway... It's still baffling to me that people would be competitive about modding this game, in any event. Edited July 17 by RoyalProtector Quote Link to comment
StummvonBordwehr Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I dont think its just completion @RoyalProtector. We have been blessed with many mods over the years, and the good ole IE have been strechted and tinkered with beyond imagination. And I am truly happy for that. Many modders have different approaches to modding. Sure competition may surface, and sometimes dispute is the result, but more often people are left wiser than before. I am glad the hatched has been buried. We all win this way. And we can leave it there as I see it…. Quote Link to comment

mickabouille Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I'm not sure there's anything to be gained by reopening this thread and reviving some select pieces. Quote Link to comment

You're allowed to make mistakes and feel under the hood. Aim that energy towards self-improvement, not self-hate. I wasn't trying to revive it, but I think it's possible to have a conversation about legitimate issues without losing our minds, but I suppose I don't know if the strong feelings and distress around the topic in this thread are still on -- it's something that for the most part I can't relate with and therefore I struggle to gauge.

I don't megamod but I haven't played without other people's mods in twenty years. (Not that I've actually done a playthrough in a while, alas.) - I'm not a trained programmer. Huh, I thought I remembered something from a long-ago discussion about component placement of IWD spells in SCS, but maybe I misremember. Or maybe it was only about certain categories of mods. I apologize if that was an inaccurate supposition. The programming thing I guess was an assumption based on the guess that stuff like this and this were unlikely to be from someone who is self-taught. But, I am occasionally wrong!

That's ridiculous. Trying to gin up a fight? Stir the pot a bit? Eh, nice try. Quote Link to comment

Don't be paranoid, there's no intention to fight. Just pointing out what seems to me like a shitty thing to say, take that as feedback if you want. I would qualify saying David is people's "god" as that. It's rather condescending towards people who like his mods, or at least that's how it comes across to me. If you think it's not shitty you can just explain how, perhaps I'm wrong (I am wrong occasionally). Or not, whatever you prefer, I don't mind either way. Talking about these matters doesn't have to be cause for any hostility -- though if you think I have sounded hostile in my message, I apologize, since public condemnation wasn't my intention at all. Cheers. Edited July 26 by RoyalProtector clarification Quote Link to comment

It is not what you do since the beginning of the thread ? It's a pity that you always want to have the last word and are always convinced that your perception is the right one, because most of the time what you have to say is clever and interesting. @CamDawg, @jastey, @DavidW I don't understand the reasons of this thread being still up... Each message shows how pathetic we all are... I understand that you have some confidential restriction about what happens within the scope of moderation but any of you could say his modder opinion about the so-called "incompatibility". Why didn't you mention that the only real problem between Tactics and Mih was caused by SCS and was resolved by DavidW several months ago ? If it is really impossible for G3 to clarify anthying at all, please, at least make this shit stop... Quote Link to comment
