The Soundset is from Nightmare from Soul Calibur. One Portrait comes from 3rd edition. Don't know where the other one comes from.

You are tempting me to make a Raphael soundset. Do not invoke my wrath.

I'm for IRC instead of TeamSpeak (I'd have to get my microphone back from a guitarist; it's my singing mic, but I have audigy2 platinum pro with front interface--so even "real" mic's work ).

Next week would also be better, but I can pull it off this week. Eastern Time should be 11:00/3:00 actually (in the north, at least), until Sat night/Sun morning (daylight savings time ends this week).

The patch should be makeable within minutes, so no issues there.

I'll check in on IRC when I get home from work tonight (~10:00 PM GMT) and see what the overall concensus is.

I agree that IRC will be easier for all of us. I have tried your chatroom, Bill Bisco, but the window "Do you want to stay" that pops up every 10 minutes is really annoying.

Horred, I suppose you will be on SHS channel, right ? That is : irc.gamesurge.net, channel #spellhold

Sure, I'll be there--I'll check in at Bill's channel as well, popup or not. I also hang out on pocket plane's and G3's channels, from time to time--so when I'm on, I'm easy to find.

I tried Downloading mIRC today but it was really confusing. I'm sorry about the pop-up, If you could come onto my Chat room it would be cool

I wouldn't mind Doing IRC, but I will need someone to tell me step by step everything involved to download and work it.
Um, As far as time, well, hopefully once you guys get on, we can discuss Time issues and then maybe we can decided something That will appeal to more people in the future.
I knew that If I didn't just make a commitment or something, that likely nothing would happen.



*Just to let you guys know, I am in the Chatroom now.*

So tomorow at 8 PM GMT will be a general tryout . Everyone who wants to play should be there just to tray if everything works correctly and if so play some game. Probeably i would host and my IP is 85.89.166.136
I might be about half an hour late but be free to come earlier

[horred the plague]

I got the same parse errors when installing TB#Tweaks. I'll make a manual override-drop package to fix this, and post it on one of the ftps before gametime. Erinyes.bcs from bpv176 is fouling up still--even with the fix tp2 code (it was just a quick guess, anyways).

EDIT: Be sure to grab the fixed BPv176.tp2. This also gets rid of the tb#tweaks parse errors. I saw zero errors in the installer part, with bp & tb#.

@Anomaly: This is more recent than the one I DCC sent you. It fixes ERINYES as well, at least in my bp install.

We are three (avenger - thief / mage - bersecker) in Friendly Arm Inn ; if someone is willing to join us, please install mods as listed and create a new PC with 1300 xp. We are looking for one more frontliner, and one mage.

Please create your character in single player mode, buy yourself some basic equipment at Candlekeep's Inn, give you 1300 xp [ CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP(1300) ] then export it.

Multiplayer is really fun compared to single player game.
By the way we play without pausing, it is much better and more exciting !

Next gaming session is Sunday, at 4:00 PM GMT. Join us at Bill Bisco's chat room !

About mods, do not forget :
- edit Setup-BGT.tp2 as appropriate before installing BGT here
- apply BP v176 patch before installing BP here
- apply TB#Tweaks patch before installing tb#tweaks here

[horred the plague]

Just a reminder, about this, before it gets buried by the pther threads.

There is still a couple of hours to get set up and ready for this (as of this post).

This is a LOT more fun than I had anticipated. We are experiencing no lag on my PC, and no issues thus far.

We have room for a couple more, and we're not very far into BG1 yet.

So get off your butts, install the mods, roll a PC, and get ready for a day of pure fun.

We'll meet in BillBisco's chat room (see thread above), and you can get the server IP there (plus any guidance to get you running).

Cheers, hope some people make it and we can play a 6-person party today!

[dragonian]

We are still playing 3 chars cause no one came:)
Maybe next week someone will come
will someone help us on our crusade?

[Anomaly]

We are looking for a single-class mage, so a sorcerer can do it. If you can stick with us (a BGT+BP game is very long), you're welcome !

Gaming session are planed saturdays and sundays between 2:00 PM GMT and 10:00 PM GMT. Please note that we play without pause, without save & restore (unless where there is no choice, of course), and at maximum difficulty (improved difficulty system ; game level is normal).

Start a new single player game with normal difficulty (to get maximum HP), rollup your character, buy some basic equipment at Candlekeep's store, give yourself 15000 XP - CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP(15000) and export your character.

We have explored Friendly Arm Inn, Beregost, Nashkel and Gnoll Stronghold. Next time we'll be heading for Nashkel Mines.

Next gaming session is Saturday, GMT 2:00 PM. Join us a little earlier (1:30 PM is good) at Bill Bisco's Chat room.

[dragonian]

Sory guys but i`m out of town tommorow so i won`t play with you. You can take my char and play with it and i`ll get it on Sunday

[Gaias]

I will join you in a multiplayer game as a sigle class mage. Though I am unsure of what time zone you are refering to for the game session.

Edited by Gaias, 07 April 2006 - 02:50 PM.

[Anomaly]

Great news !

We are using GMT. So, for example, if we tell you the gaming session starts at 2:00 PM GMT and you are, for example, in GMT -5, the gaming session will start at 9:00 AM on your local time.

You'll be ready tomorrow to play at 2:00 PM GMT ? Have you installed the same mods ? Join us tomorrow at our chatroom.

Edited by Anomaly, 07 April 2006 - 02:58 PM.

[Gaias]

Hmmm. From your description of how GMT works, it would put me at 7:00 AM. This is not doable for me as I will be at work (I know, sucks to work the weekends) It would seem that I could not make it after all.

Well I can make it on Sunday (just read the whole post ). But for me to make it on Saturday it would have to be at GMT 9:00 PM. One day is better than nothing I suppose.

Edited by Gaias, 07 April 2006 - 03:15 PM.

[Anomaly]

Well I guess you are in GMT -7 then

Since dragonian and me are in GMT +2 this explains that we have some problems to find a common time.

You work all Saturday's mornings, or just this Saturday ? In the latter case, this is not a problem, since dragonian cannot play tomorrow anyway (we will miss you dragonian ).

And you can play all Sunday (well from 2:00 PM GMT to 10:00 PM GMT) ?

In any case, try to go to the chatroom at 9:00 PM GMT tomorrow (as soon as you can, in fact). We may find a solution for you. They are several possibilities : players can temporary play other players's characters (but we will need to pause if someone is controlling more than one character), or we can kick out a character for some time and reimport it later when its player is there.

[Kalindor]

Please keep a slot open for me as I have not forsaken you and will join the next session of your grand adventure when I return home from my vacation Sunday evening. That was me earlier posting as "guest"... I forgot to log in on this old laptop.

[Bill Bisco]

No Worries. At the Very Worst, there will end up being 7 players. If that happens, then you guys can just open 2 games, one with 3 and another with 4
