v 1.5 or wait for v2....

i'm using bp..ctb... and this mega mod...

any advice on this....(eg...eta of v2)

It pains me to state it (knowing the additions and fixes we put in already), but we'll need at least two months, probably.

More, if we do the TD stuff (yet I'd prefer to do it and close the 1st component).

Wh-aaa-aa-aaat???!
2 months??? Gods, are we going to Ibiza for a month or so?
If we don't include TDs (which is very likely at this point, we'll see), I think the final touches can be done in one month or even less.

Of course all this depends on many little things, so no deadline yet.

Oh well, you remind me of Quitch's ETAs.
No worries, I will be proven right once again

Heh, it is actually fairly easy to say so, since you are the one who codes the mod - which means it will be ready when you put everything in

who-aaa, are you fearing you'll have too many pizzas to pay me
Come on, let's not be childish.
Consider that we have to do still all about multiclasses, do Whirlwind for druids (this is tricky and falls upon me), the new Elemental forms (and this again falls upon me, together with the installing complications I told you about), fixing the issues I identified with Fallen Paladins and Rangers (and this again falls upon me), conclude many unfinished abilities, test everything, debug everything, proofread everything....

Two months would be quite optimistic actually (you might have noticed that I'm having close to NO modding time during the work-days, I hit 11 clean hours of work today.... no kidding!)

About TDs: we should do them now anyway, I've offered a wide range of solutions... if you don't want them now, it means you don't won't them at all, since the BG2 engine isn't going to change.
AND, I really don't want to re-alter the HLAs system after V2.
V2 will have to be final in this sense, or we'll never get out of it

This is our weakest point actually, but since we cannot help this, we will keep at this pace.
On the other hand, I'm positive you noticed that I work like a madman to produce all the required stuff (and mostly bugfree and well organized!). If I would know what/how to do with Whirlwind and the Shapeshifts, they'd be finished already.

Then we should use that "alternate drawback instead of cooldown period", as you mentioned in the Help forums.
