    Default Bad news from Bwian

    This is a post I was hoping I was not going to have to make...but it is unavoidable.

    For those of you who were following what I was up to ( the Metal Mayhem mod mainly ) you will know my modding efforts were cut short by a motorcycle accident last November. Not to go into too much detail, my right hand got trapped under the bike and got mashed into the tarmac.

    Nearly 4 months on, I still cannot spend any serious time at the PC without pain, and my fine muscle control is still sadly lacking. Anyone who has tried to model in Max with a twitchy hand will understand how frustrating this is. I can't do the stuff properly, and it just sucks the fun right out of it.

    It looks like I have done lasting damage to the tendons in the back of my hand, and I have no idea when...or if.... things will get back to the point where I can actually mod again to the sort of standards I can accept.

    In light of that, I am retiring from active modding for this game.

    That's terrible news, Bwian MM was a mod that really defied all the expectations. I can only wish you a full and speedy recovery.

    Oh god. So sorry to hear about that. I'm an illustrator so having damage done to my right hand is one of my worst fears. Sorry to hear that happened to you :( I hope that it's just temporary and you would eventually recover. Good luck and godspeed, Bwian.

    Thats nasty.... Hope it sorts itself out Bwain, and stick around, even if only to check what the latest mods are. Lay back and enjoy some of the modders work. It would be a great shame to loose you from this community completely.

    I am very sorry to hear this Bwain, its terrible news.

    I wish you a fast and speedy recovery and relay the same sentiments that you stick around to take part in dicussions on the forums as it would be a shame to lose you entirely.

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    That's really bad news. I hope your recovery from here on is not too painful and hopefully in the future you can make a magnificant return to modding.

    Best of luck Bwian, there are too few guys like you in the community.

    Thanks for the kind words guys.

    I will still check in from time to time to see how things are going, and keep in touch with events. I'm doing my physio like a good boy, and hope to be fit to mod MTW2!
