Progress report (2011+) Options

[aigleborgne]

After all this years, it's good to start a new thread

Side work:
- Monsters : preparation task (sort, group, and find stats) : 100%
- AI script (complete rework in progress) : 50%

Main component:
- BG1 Monsters : 10%
- BG2 Monsters : 0%
- BG1 Adventurers: 0%
- BG2 Adventurers: 0%

At this moment, it seems that I undo some of my previous work (compared to old progress report).
This is true, but it isn't the same quality, it is a lot higher now.

With my new own tools and material, I'll be able to work 5 times faster on main components later on and still get an overall better result.

These are great news, aigleborgne!

Thanks for putting so much time in refining the scripts. I personally believe SCS to be a great modification. I like SCS II less because it might add to the crazy power's escalation in a way that practically every single fight becomes a serious menace to the player, forcing difficult challenges one after the other. And when it's not difficult, it can be practically impossible, an exercise of metagaming and reload.

I am thankful to DavidW because he kindly allowed (although he does not support it) for stripping the AI of detectable item, which is something I really loathe. I am happy to read that Enhanced Creature also allows for enabling or disabling it (if I understood well).

My criticism to your approach is one (and you perhaps understand it because I moved the same criticism when I was collaborating with you): you force the user to have some mods installed.

I personally have SR in my installation (but definitely not Divine Remix) but I believe that it should be possible to play Enhanced Creature without SR too! In this, DavidW is ahead of you, I think. SCS does not even require (only recommends) the BG2 Fixpack.

Good luck with your demo release!
