Noceur, it's law of the internet. If you mention Codex it'll dominate at least some of the following conversation. I'm really hopeful as far as GUI go. Revised KotOR 2 GUI was great and A LOT better than K1's (which wasn't bad either) and in my opinion NWN2's UI is very good (apart from occasional camera problems). As far as old skool GUI's go Fallouts one is winner. It is simple, it doesn' cover too much screen and it is dead easy to use. You can access everything with one click of a mouse - even skills can be just chosen with 1,3,5 etc. Only thing that keeps it from perfect is not so good inventory. So I have no doubts GUI will be great

I did, I just forgot to put it in "natural" as a qualifier to geography. As in, the weird placement of deserts, forests, swamps, mountains, etc. Tale was referring to the political landscape more than the natural landscape. That was for Gorgon

I doubt Krezack ment that. I think it was quite clear quotes were from Actiontrip (since when codexians have cared about graphics anyway? )

Tigranes hit the nail there. And I don't get what you mean with bad storytelling. For mod Dark Waters I's storytelling was quite great. Unless you approach it from roleplaying side of things which is once in a while overrided.

Gay Women Not Lesbians, Says Lesbos
I see where Kaftan is coming here. It is quite annoying travelling in the world because words "I'm swede" universally translate to "I'm gay"

Adam Miller has pretty much always been genius of NWN modding. In original NWN1 he managed to stuck in riding on ****ing dragons and god knows what else. Seriously In NWN2 he has already made MtG style card game, fireguns, whole bleedin' Pirates! styled ship system with combat et al and now THIS Obz you really must hire that fellow If he refuses then you kidnap his family

The scrolling image and UI are awesome. How long did this take you to put together, and what obstacles did you face? First off, I was insane to even attempt this. The scrolling buttons and image are actually all static images. Movement is simulated by hiding and showing individual elements so that it gives the illusion of movement. I ended up using Excel to create the XML file because there are 470 lines just for the background images. Amazingly, it worked and the game engine didn't complain too much. The second huge problem was one of timing. The script that checks notes fires every .01 seconds, but the reality is that it may fire quite a bit later than that if the script engine gets busy. I ended up doing some very complicated things in order to figure out how far I was into the song and what frets should be displaying on the screen. The module is also extremely taxing on the game engine, and you can easily stutter if there are a lot of things going on. I ended up having to do a funky "caching" step before the song plays in order to get it loaded into memory. I also ended up creating an option to switch to a low quality setting which hopefully helps run it on slower machines. I spent a few days getting the camera controls working relatively well. There's actually a hidden GUI I made that lets me control the lighting, effects, and camera settings. I used that to create a large number of camera movements I could string together to pull off the American Bandstand feel of Death's Domain. Finally, getting the songs into the game was very challenging. I end up with two sound objects, one for the vocals and another for the lute. I had to write a program to translate the MIDI file into a 2DA file I could read. Getting all of that to work properly took a ton of time. Read rest here I share Zoma's concern. I wonder how you'll deal with it but I trust you'll come up with something

Crates never get old ...how sad is it I already started to plan my first two groups? Other one will be bunch of misfit heroes (aka alignments from neutral to good) a la OOTS (minus Belkar who got transferred to other group) Second group shall be bunch of raving, pillaging lunatics lead by hopelessly lost Genasi wizard from Sigil (he was on family holiday in Faerun or something and then paladins came and killed his family!!!!) and whose right hand man is psychotic halfling barbarian

If you noticed Krezack said Obz was making sequel to Baldur's Gate 1, not new Baldur's Gate game That looks like it'll be spiritual successor of sorts

That "some of us" doesn't include me Rofl I will get you for this... I agree with you that there is no way for a company to restore some or all of their games' cut content. It would be indeed ridiculous to ask them to do so... On the other hand, I consider that my complain is accurate in the present case because all these races and prestige classes already exist in the codes and it would require minimal work to restore them. Obsidian could have done this either in the previous expansion or in one of their patches... Well, NWN Magus and NWN Agent are clearly OC Campaign related and are quite likely linked to some cut content. You don't have to be genius to see NWN Magus is mage equivalent of NWN Nine class and NWN Agent is rogue/bard/etc. equivalent of NWN Nine class. Those races - lizardfolk etc - were never ment to be playable anyway. Sure their files exist but they were made with NPC's in mind. They don't have even close the range of animations and such PC races have. And did you think how godamn BUGGY AND BROKEN these unimplemented classes are propably in their current state? If it was matter of just acticating them someone would've already done that. There's definetly more to it. Of course I wouldn't mind them restoring those classes, but doesn't matter much to me.
