As you all may know, I am a uni student and I value my marks greatly (actually, the degree I am in is prestigious to the extent that I have to have a running average of a HD in my courses). At the same time, I am overloading on courses this semester, have a part-time job, and am a musician that is rehearsing heavily for an upcoming musical in May. If that is not a mouthful, try adding BGT-WeiDU on top.
Please note that I am NOT saying that development is halted indefinitely, nor is the development halted, in a manner of speaking (i.e. I still do like 10 minutes of work now and again). I love this project greatly and am not willing to throw it away (which means I'd better backup all my stuff on CD first...), so please don't think that this is the death of BGT-WeiDU from me.
@King Diamond - please keep posting those bugs up on the Bug Report topic you made. The work is great that you are doing and I wish I had the time to do so much as you have done with this. I do request that you not make your own release of a BGT-WeiDU, as that would really confuse things for people and might throw my current work out the window (because you don't know what I have done from release of 0.94 BETA up to this time) :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
@Yacomo and Waywocket - keep doing that great work with the GUI, because it looks absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to see it on screen (I have downloaded the file, but haven't had time to load it up yet). :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
@horred and Sir BillyBob - I'm sorry that this may dent some plans (if at all) for compatibility and the like, but in time this will be worked out I hope.
For all the anxious/impatient/patient fans out there, please be a little less anxious/less impatient/more patient for these couple of weeks/months to pass. Delay is a bad thing, and I hate it too, but sometimes it becomes inevitable.
I will still be checking on the forums occassionally to see how things are going or to help out beleaguered newcomers to the world of BP, so this isn't the last of me.
To finish up, I'll let you know what I am/will be working on in BGT-WeiDU 'at the moment', leading to a much improved/stable mod:
Current Work (more than halfway done with these)
- final clean up of all unecessary files (as much as possible)
- importation of dialogue and stores instead of having them in package
- SORTED JOURNAL ENTRIES
- KD's EscapeArea() to EscapeAreaDestroy(90) massive fix - will make optional
Will Be Work
- adding of the Yacomo and Waywocket GUI
- Chinese translation (you'd better believe it...) - all thanks to CatLeo
- option of transitioning BEFORE finishing all TotSC quests
- implementation of Sir BillyBob's transition idea (or other ideas that pop up that people might be more inclined to)
