Is anybody out there?, Feeling lonely here... Options

This project is a solo effort, so there is nobody to banter with. I would appreciate comments from users. Love it? Hate it? Meh? Bugs? Suggestions? All good. Let me know that I'm not whistling in the wind.

[ALIEN]

Don't expect any feedback if you use dead forum (except for IA, NeJ and TS). Post you mod at official/SHS/G3 forums if you want to have more players/testers/feedback.

[nullset]

Thank you, ALIENQuake,

I have found SHS and G3 to be difficult to impossible to signup for, let alone register a mod. Guess I will stay here at BWL where the people are friendly and very helpful. Who knows? The site might rise again!

Are yo serious? What was impossible to put your registration details, answering anti-spam question here: http://www.shsforums.net/index.php?app=cor...l§ion=register and upload you mod via "Upload File" button from "Downloads" tab? G3 registration is similar. People there are also very helpful and know IE engine (also new EE features and possibilities for modders) and new WeiDU very well. There are many people which preforming beta test for eg for Item revisions and Spell revision or for upcoming "Faiths and Powers" mod. If you want real feedback for you NPC, i suggest you to go where people are.

Tried to send you a PM but don't know if it went through. The Black Wyrm hates me!

Hi! I got your message. Two of them, in fact. Or, actually, the same one twice. Finally: someone who has USED the mod. On your two points:

1) I will look into Dace and Isra. I thought I had found all the mods with a female NPC romancing a male PC. Good reason for having corespondents.

2) I really did try to get my mod registered with what I was told was The Bigg, and ran into instructions that were confusing and on a site (not sure whether it was SHS, G3 or BG) that you had to be either young with great hand/eye coordination or a computer with advanced AI to solve the I-am-a-real-person security measures. Black Wyrm loves me! Maybe because I speak a little Hungarian.

I am currently working on the next revision, which has some fixes for action delays and some minor stuff so is tentatively set to v4.2. If I add a couple more NPCs, I might bump that to v5.

Praise is nice, but I would really like to hear about WHAT it is you like/dislike about the mod as I have only suited myself in the design. Oh, yes. Are you aware the I also have an Eternal Imoen mod on Black Wyrm's Lair?

[Ser_Elryk]

Hi! I got your message. Two of them, in fact. Or, actually, the same one twice.

Sorry for the double PM. As I mentioned: TBW and I seemed to have a personality clash or something

1) I will look into Dace and Isra. I thought I had found all the mods with a female NPC romancing a male PC.

There is also Amber, who is fairly popular as well. I love both Dace and Isra so I really appreciate you looking into them =) Isra is a Chaotic Good Cavalier of Sune, and Dace is a tomboyish country-girl Bounty Hunter. But you'll read all about that once/if you research them.

2) I really did try to get my mod registered with what I was told was The Bigg, and ran into instructions that were confusing and on a site (not sure whether it was SHS, G3 or BG) that you had to be either young with great hand/eye coordination or a computer with advanced AI to solve the I-am-a-real-person security measures.

I strongly urge you to give it a try on SHS. Also there's a user called agb1 whom is very friendly, helpful, and tech-savvy who I correspond with frequently. I'm sure he'd be happy to help you with anything or at least point you in the right direction.

Praise is nice, but I would really like to hear about WHAT it is you like/dislike about the mod as I have only suited myself in the design.

I'm going to rip from T-Zero over on the G3 forums to answer this:

"There's something I've been pondering for a while, since I installed the BG series and played through it the umpteenth time. Pretty much as soon as the game was released, good hard-working modders gave us the ability to pursue all three of the vanilla romances at the same time. But something that always nagged at me was that, while the mechanics of the romances were tweaked to permit a harem, the story wasn't. It's bugged me enough that I felt I needed to post and ask if anyone's made a mod that took all three romances, made them available, and then dealt the the subject of having more than one lover... and those lovers interacting in such a way that polygamous love could follow?"

Finally: someone who has USED the mod

Are you aware the I also have an Eternal Imoen mod on Black Wyrm's Lair?

I think my response to these might be too long so I'm going to try and send you another PM regarding them

[Seewead]

Hey nullset, thank you very much for your great work! I only registered here to tell you: I can't understand, why your mod is not sky-rocketing and downloaded thousands of times. Well, maybe it ist - it should anyway.

Keep up the great work, Rob

[nullset]

Thanx, Seewead. It is good to hear that someone is using the mod and likes it. Actually, I was quite impressed when the number of downloads went over 700.

I hope you saw my teaser for v6.0. Release is still a couple of months away, but I think you'll like the new stuff. Because you were so kind as to let me know that I am not programming in a void, here's another little titbit: Rjali mod and BG2EE NPCs who are romanced can be parked in the deArnise Keep, thus allowing more than 5 *RomanceActive=2's.

Gotta get back to work, or this thing will never get out.

[Seewead]

Wow - super-cool!

You bring this game to a whole new era!

[Seewead]

Mmmm, uh. Now. The last hour I've been thinking. Turns out, I do have some questions for you. Maybe you would be so kind to help me out?


1.
So, I was wondering: Uh, at least your readme made me wonder, just wanted to be sure, not to "nit pic" :-):
There is this thing with the version-numbers of the various NPC-mods. Is it compatible with / did you update to:

Imoen Romance Version 3.4 (it says: 2.4, 2.5 and 3 in your readme)
Tashia Remix 1.4 (it says 1.3 in the readme)
Fade 4.0 (it says 7.3b?)


2.
I did'nt dare, did'nt try yet, did not want to break my game: So maybe I can ask you for help - can I use your mod with:

Imoen-friendship 2.2 as well?
http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/901-im...ndship-soa-tob/

Viconia-friendship 3.3?
http://www.spellholdstudios.net/ie/viconia

banter-pack version 14?
http://www.pocketplane.net/mambo/index.php...&Itemid=78/

romantic-encounters version 10?
http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?a...mp;showfile=931

flirt-pack 1.03?
http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php?board=8.0

iep-extended banters version 4.2?
http://www.shsforums.net/files/category/76...expansion-pack/

npc strongholds version 2.2?
http://www.gibberlings3.net/npcstrongholds/


3.
And... well, in your first message in this thread you asked for suggestions. Please don't get me wrong, your work is amazing, there is nothing to critizise! At all!
Only thought, it might interest you: Here are some other female-romance-mods, that could be worth looking into in the future, if you're up for it:

Skie redone version 3.0
http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/1005-skie-npc/

Alora for bg2 version 1.5
http://www.baldursgatemods.com/forums/inde...sa=view;down=25

Auren Aseph version 9
http://www.gibberlings3.net/auren/

Yasraena version 16
http://www.baldursgatemods.com/forums/index.php?board=18.0

Sarah version 4

Hey, I guess I did write too much. Didn' want to hassle you. If you ever find the time, I'd be delighted. Rob

[nullset]

Hi Rob (Seewead),

1) - Imoen Romance is still at 3.3. As far as I can find, there is no 3.4 yet. I expect that when there is, it should be compatable.
- The Tashia 1.3 was a typo. It should read 1.4.
- It is all very confusing but the Fade 4.0 *is* 7.3b.

2) - Don't know about the Imoen and Viconia Friendship mods. As they aren't romance mods, however, why would you want them in conjunction with Rjali?
- I am running my tests with Flirtpack 1.03 installed, so that is alright. (Mind you, I added flirts for Neera to that one for my own use. They are based heavily on Aerie, and I just don't feel right distributing that.)
- Don't know about NPC Strongholds. Let me know if it causes you issues, and I'll see what I can do.
- The banter packs and RE should be OK. I haven't used them because I have quite enough romance to be going on with. Especially with v6.0.

3) - Auren Aseph and Sarah only romance females. Rjali is haeterosexual only.
- Alora and Yasraena are not romance mods as far as I can tell, so no point me doing anything with them in the multiple romance mode.
- Skie is not so clear. I'll look into that one.

No, you did not write too much. I'm so relieved to hear from someone who is actually using the mod. You will have noticed in the readme that several of the NPC mods incorporated were done by request. I will see if Skie qualifies and, if she does, I just might squeak her into v6.0. I mean, it's already a monster, so why the hell not? It would put off the release date, but not as much as the three all new romances I am working on now.

[Seewead]

Good morning (well, in my time-frame anyway),

thanks for your fast reply, man! Cheers.

1.
Didn't know, that Fade 7.3b equals Version 4 - how did you find out? But I know about Imoen romance version 3.4 - probably your have got it already, as you can find out in its reademe.
Turns out only the version number at the download-site wasn't changed and is stuck at 3.3.

2.
In my eyes the imoen-friendship gives additional content that I like quite a lot. Anyway - I will give the mentioned mods a try in a future run.

3.
Ah - I see, didn't know that. Sure, that makes sense.

By the way, have you took a look into the Kiara-Zaiya-Mod version 1.6.2? There is some optional tactical content I never used, but the romance could be worth to check it out.
http://gamingnerdsrus.co/forum/index.php?topic=269.0


So, I can hardly wait for your number 6.0! Awesome! But take your time, all good things do. See ya, Rob

[Graoumf]

If you want more feedbak on BWL forums, I guess you should make an announcement on Infinity Engine Modding News as others communities do (CoMTBG, G3 of course, PPG, SHS...).

[nullset]

Rob (Seewead),

1 - I found out about Fade by downloading the latest (v4.0) and looking at the .tp2. Thanx for the heads-up on Imoen Romance 3.4.
2 - I haven't (yet) provided an alternate track for an unromanced Imoen or Viconia. This could look a little silly in some of the multiple romance dialog.
3 - I'll have a look at Kiara.

Graoumf,

I'll look into the announcement thingie. Thank you.

[nullset]

Graoumf,

As usual, G3 is making it difficult to impossible for me to create an account. I have now officially given up on this site. I will browse it, but that is all.

[Graoumf]

I think you should contact Mike1072 or CamDawg by pm (you can find them on SHS, PPG, even here I guess).

[nullset]

Sorry @Graoumf

I have been through this with G3 several times before. I have a mod to work on and life is too short. I do not have the time for power games. I'll just stay over here and see who shows up for a game of street hockey. (metaphor)

[Graoumf]

You misunderstood.
CamDawg and Mike1072 are admins on G3, and could fix your problem of G3 registration. Your reaction is strange since I told you to pm them here on BWL.

If you don't want to register on G3, then you couldn't post an Infinity Engine news, and then you will have a few people who will play your mod.
Even Baronius posted news on G3, as this one: http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=25229; and he's still here.

Edit: don't be sorry, I haven't played to BG since... 6 years. My aim is only to give you a clue to increase the number of players of your mod, and so feedback, which is the purpose of your topic. Well, it's up to you.

OK Graoumf, you big bully. I have PMed CamDawg. Now we shall see what we shall see.
