    Well, our goal is to have our release before the release of 1.5/1.6, so we won't have to decide this. Will we meet this goal? Who can say, but we're going to try.

    If it fixes the bugs then you can be sure we'll at least move to the non-BI one...perhaps the BI one, we'll have to see. Pending, of course, on the determination that we can do everything we can do now in the new system.

    I don't know why they would kill off any current functionality, but who knows.

    From the readme it doesn't even seem like it makes any real significant changes.

    If "Early next week will see the release of two new patches. Check out the readme for more info"then does "Well, our goal is to have our release before the release of 1.5/1.6" means what I think it means??!!

    .
    Some sources, which should remain confidential, told me of an informal conversation between an, umm, undisclosed software developper and, err, a mod leader about the unannounced news of the delay in the release of the patches planned for a game that undisclosed software developper had been involved with for, uhh, an indefinite period of time. However, my other sources claim that the said source is infamous for spreading false information, while yet another source discredit the latter informer for inaccuracy. Go figure.

    hahahahahHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA

    That actually made me laugh.

    I feel a bit sorry for the guy that came up with the idea to put sparkles in the game, Just imagine him waking up in the morning really excited to see the early reviews and opinions of barbarian invasion, only to see everyone make fun of his idea and call it gay.

    he must be heart broken, I mean, all he wanted to do, was lighten up the fairly grim content of the game with a few magic sparkles, only to have the entire world turn against him and hate him for trying, ahhahaha oh the humanity

    Honestly, i think that mods are better then patches, to an extent. hell, EB would be worth it even if it was for 1.1.


    1.3 got rid of the load/save bug. On the other hand, it's still very easy. But EB will might be an actual challenge (Something that very few mods have done, if you don't count insane stat chnages to slow the player down...)


    Any way, would anyone would be interested in starting a MP campaign with EB? would be fun...there might be one problem though: wuold any of the script changes that EB has effect the game?

    I would, but diplomacy isn't working at this point.

    I would suspect that as we have 6MB+ of scripts, that there would be problems working together with the MP campaign script. However, not being a scriptor, I have no idea, and we haven't done any sort of discussion about this yet.

    Mmmm. It should be possible, but it requires quite a lot of redoing in the scripting side.

    Ok...

    So 1.5 and 1.6 are out. Since it fixes the save/load issue, isn't that reason enough to make the jump from 1.2 to 1.5?

    Probably, once we've released the OB on 1.2.

    The same discussion sprung up just before the release of 1.3. Just be patient. It is not wise to decide if there is still uncertainty whether there are any hidden bugs or so.
