| Oops - Mod delayed indefinitely |
|
Hmm. Iīm in Argentina right now. Afraid I didnīt get The Trial, the mod I was working on, finished in time. Itīll be at least delayed indefinitely and quite possibly not finished at all. Thanks to those who had offered to test etc.
Itīs a shame. The basic idea was that of a courtroom dama, and the player was alternately in a courtroom, being quizzed on his actions, and in action scenes, carrying those actions out. I had the transitions between the court and the flashback scenes working, and within the flashback scenes you could:
- build parties from the people you met - swordsmen, archers, or mages - up to pretty large numbers (a dozen or so) all of whom used their own individual combat AI. Watching your party of 10 attack a dozen enemy was pretty spectacular. 
- give orders and missions to the other characters who were friendly ("Clear that Bridge", "Move to the High ground" etc)
- Choose what kind of character you played as, and whether things happened over day or night...
Ah well. Cést la vie. I donīt know if Iīll bother modding for Gothic 2, even if itīs possible. The tools are painfully unstable, and itīs not very satisfying working for months on something that only half a dozen people comment on.
Maybe PB will give me a job
See you,

Cheers.
If Iīd been a bit more organised, I would just have packaged up what Iīd done, rough edges and all. But the source code is in England, and Iīm not. Sorry.
No, Iīm not here for good, probably for a few months though. And um, yes I scuba, why?
Anyone know if there is still no word on mod support with the G2 engine?

| Any way you can retrieve the data? |
|
Can you perhaps have a friend or relative send the file to you, or another modder to continue the work on it? It sounds like a very good mod.

Not sure.
I think all that would be necessary would be to build up the .zip file, as the actual mod files are already compiled.
Iīm a little reluctant to release something thatīs so rough though.
What do you think? Does anyone want to see this very rough bit of mod? Itīs more of a tech demo that a fuly playable scenario...

Yea, definately. Perhaps when you release it, other modders will get ahold of you and then they can build on it while you are off working. You still have email right? Then surely members of the mod commune can converse and get your opininions on it.

Hope you get a job at PB, though.

Releasing an unfinished mod isnīt a good idea. Youīll still see your name connected with it...

I agree. And some of the less than competent testers will be bugging you night and day to get their thingy to work properly. I'm probably one of them.

Well, just have it as a release to the mod community so they can help build on it and not let it die out.
