1.05 Installed

I have now installed the 1.05 final patch. It worked fine. The toolset opens and seems to be working normal. Course in my paranoia I have backed up all progress at this point on a cd just in case. I have done alot of work on random items and filling in interiors lately while waiting for this patch and now I am ready to start planting some trees. I just need to figure out exactly how to have them automatically cut from the walkmesh because some of the more forested areas would take forever otherwise. Hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly.
Each time I learn a new part of the mod making process I am amazed at how much time each little detail can take. I have probably spent two weeks just writing item descriptions and books for the campaign and still have many more to go. Also if you haven't yet checked out Adam Millers Dark Waters you should. His new build eliminated the only bug I had and its good. I can't wait for part 2.

1.05?

I have been out of town for a few days and returned to what I was hoping for 1.05 released. So I loaded up NWN2 and ran the auto-patcher only to find that the patch was gone. I went to the forums and its been pulled because the toolset won't run under it! I guess I am glad they pulled it because that would have sucked but I am afraid I am going to or already have done things that the next patch may break so until the patch comes out I am going to detail areas. Also I am looking for someplace I can keep older screenshots so viewers don't have to go back to the older posts to see them. Any suggestions would be welcome and thanks in advance for any you give. I am sorry that the screenshots I promised aren't up yet but I really want to start putting in the trees but don't want to have to cut them out of the walkmesh and I know 1.05 will break the plug-ins that automate that process so once again I will say it will be soon. If I had know that 1.05 was going to be in beta for a month I would have started already but it should be ready soon. Course so will be Dark Waters chapter 1 and thats may steal some development time for a few days but I will keep plugging away.

Update on Progress

I have learned how to create custom items now. I have spent a few days making writing some of the in-game books. It takes along time to create all the history books but once they are done I will be able to use them throughout the mod so it will be another large chunk out of the way. I have had some problems getting a script to work that updates the journal once the inventory of an item is disturbed so I am going to try to simply connect the script to the item directly. Hopefully this works better and I will have learned another of the required skills I outlined for myself to make my campaign. I will post some more screenshots soon.
