IA v6.2 discussion, random questions and thoughts Options

[critto]

So, the v6.1 is out. Most notable change is a step towards new platform, internal re-design and full (I hope) support for BG2EE. That means that IA should now install and play with any distribution of BG2:EE on any platform. I personally developed and tested it on Mac OS X, with the Beamdog's official distribution. Nicoper, whom I want to thank for helping me with testing and pushing this version out, did tests on Windows, although I have no idea which version exactly did he use.

Anyhow, with BG2:EE come two new good-aligned NPCs who are tweaked to be serious choices for a party member. To facilitate that we did a nice overhaul of the Monk class. It's kind of a beta so keep in mind that your experiences may vary. But should be fun nonetheless.

There is no new tactical content added to the BG2EE content, but the potential is there and, hopefully, we can explore it in the future builds.

There's also some miscellaneous stuff done here and there but the major things are listed above.

I took a liberty of assuming a different approach towards development, with shorter but faster releases. Hopefully, this will bring us towards IAv7 quicker. Afterwards, we'll see.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

EDIT: this was converted into primary discussion thread for 6.2

Thanks, I found what you were talking about and fixed it - adding the line didn't help since there is already one present with the wrong flag in that file. Changing the value in that line did the trick. The new player section of the readme page suggests that R/C is the best tank because of the ability to cast iron skins, so it may be worth amending the installation instructions if you don't want to patch. Not sure whether there is an easy way to patch that file, which is now located in a My Documents folder.

Location of the configuration file differs from installation to installation and will never be patched during the mod installation. This is left for players to decide, I can only provide recommendations on what to do.
