I've read that there are issues regarding the incompability between the "new" NEJ and the "old" version ( 6.9.1 and 4.2 which is used in the megainstall )
Now, what exactly are those? what kind of game breaking issues does the updated NEJ have? It should be possible to work around those if someone makes a BWS exclusive version of NEJ, no? The question is, what would be involved in that?

I'm asking this because I always liked Dorm's Deep and the Wyrm Tooth dungeons and I miss them. I hate to keep two instalsl ( BGT + NEJ6.9.1 + item, spell etc mods to ensure compability between exported char's and my BWS install ) on my disc just so I can play some additional content.
Isn't it theoretically possible ( with the use of CLUA at least ) to just add the maps and mobs, without actual quests, of the later parts of NEJ without also introducing the game breaking things?

Again,

Now, what exactly are those? what kind of game breaking issues does the updated NEJ have?


depending on how much work it is, I'm gonna call in a few favors and rally up a few people to get this done and done. if it is, indeed, possible.

Also, according to Vlad's post over at the black wyrm forums, he would be willing to share his material for episode 3 of NEJ with someone who is willing to continue the work. I don't think it would be that much a issue to get his approval for a "fixed" version of version 6.9.1

Try and contact White Agnus, he was busy to fix that a few weeks (or months ?) ago.
But I don't know how far he went. He said he needed to testing and fixing.

Maybe -- no for sure he can tell you something about the issues.

He was busy with Dark Horizon and Tales of Anegh and casual fixes, so it was not 1 priority lately.
And I can't guarantee that he has that much time to spare to do it asap himself. ;)
THINK! - It's not illegal.

Testing I can do. I have time. a LOT of time.
Maybe I can even work on it a little myself.

Yes, but not much - he's mainly on rosenranken.de. However, you might also try erebusant here, who I believe had a BGT-compatible newer version of NEJ he was testing and said was working fine.
