A July- December marathon, What's planned for IA V6 Options

[Sikret]

I will start working on IA v6 in July 2008 (I'm too busy till then to add any new major content to the mod, though if we happen to find any glitches or bugs in the current version of the mod, I will be here to fix and release new versions; but working on the nex big new version will be postponed to July) and will probably release it before the end of next year.

thetruth has given very good suggestions to me and we have good plans for IA v6. Other players' feedbacks about the content of the mod will also help me to enhance the mod further. For now the general outline of the new plans for IA v5 is as follows:

1- Adding a very big (huge) quest to the game which will probably contain a number of big quests inside itself.

2- Extended Twisted Rune (new big quest)

3- Expanded Fighter Stronghold

4- Improved TOB Final battle at throne of Bhaal

5- Expanded Druid Stronghold.

I will write more (and will add many more new features) as soon as we start working on it and I will pin this topic at that time. For now, I just wanted to say that we have our plans and new ideas for future and that you (everyone) should not hesitate to send me your suggestions for new quests/features to be added to the next version of the mod. This mod belongs to all who love it. (Of course, to be able to give good suggestions, you will probably need to play the current version of the mod completely for a couple of times with different classes and protagonists to see all of the existent features of the mod.)

Cheers

Actually iitems adds items to random creatures at installation...

If you provide a link (in a PM), I will download and check it.

However, even if the mod you mentioned adds its own items to random creatures, it's something much different from what IA does. IA doesn't add merely new items to random locations; it removes the vanilla game's items from their original places and then re-distributes them randomly each time you start a new game.

I downloaded and checked it, Shaitan! (thanks for the link)

As I had guessed what it does is much different than what IA does. Its randomizing feature is limited to stuff such as "If a creature already has a potion, then there is x% chance to give him another potion" and similar things like that. What IA does, on the other hand, is that it removes a good number of vanilla game's items from their original locations and then redistributes them randomly each time you start a new game. IA is the first and only mod which does this.
