Improved Anvil V6.5 (Enhanced Edition), now available! Options

[critto]

The new version is now available!

What was initially planned to be a small maintenance release has turned into quite a major one. Lots of new changes and extra content (of various nature). During the course of our work we came up with many new ideas on what could be added and improved in the future. Our future plans and, eventually, progress report will be outlined in the progress report thread.

The next release will be 7.0 for sure. Key focus is on modernising the platform (to set up stage for any long-term plans that we have) and, of course, the long-promised druid stronghold. We're short on staff these days and work time is limited, so if anybody wants to contribute ideas or any other help, it would certainly be welcome. The new readme contains a small database of knowledge for the new players. We would love to have more content in it as well!

I would like to thank SparrowJacek and nicoper for their help in preparing this release. Without them, it wouldn't have happened and even if it did, it would not contain as many cool features.

Be sure to check out the brand-new readme and, of course, grab the mod!

We're striving to make IA as bug free and fuss-less as it always was, but our possibilities are limited. If you do encounter any issue or come up with a good idea, let us know!

Cheers,
critto

Improved Anvil 6.5 is now available. This is a minor release, nothing new and drastic, a few bugs are fixed, more are introduced. We've added a bit of new content (items and tweaks, mostly) for some of the overlooked NPCs. There's now a new mod called IA Tweaks which contains certain quality of life features that I've found useful to have in one place, ability to choose alternative classes/kits for some of the NPCs and a variety of content hacks for more experienced players.

Big thanks to Bulian, a long term player of the mod, for being the driving force behind this release. Good news is that our work on 6.5 has put some life back into once abandoned IAv7 project and it might just be happening in the upcoming months (I wonder how many times I've said that over the past years).

As usual, both mods are available at the download center. Bugs are a possibility, and we try to fix them fast as long as we are around. We'll try to keep the versions located at the download center updated, but the most bleeding edge stuff is usually found on github: here and here.

Have fun.

Cheers
