Well, it had to come soon...

Member ShadowTek found a old subrace a while ago trying to find a mod that adds new races. Since that mod went unmantained due to the death of TeamBG, I decided to setup up and try resurecting that mod.

Ideas can be found on the origonial post at CoM:

http://forums.chosen...hp?topic=2645.0

And yes, Sola did give me permission to resurect the mod, in case you were wondering.

At this point, I'm not really doing much Baldur's Gate related. More focused on Skyrim modding and the Born of Legend tabletop roleplaying game. Don't expect much activity here.

Getting the blessing of the originator/maintainer is a beautiful thing.
{A link showing the approval would be nice, if available, but we'll take your word for it, lol.}

And linking back to the 'original' forum - nice, polite touch.

Love the fact that someone wants to resurrect it.

I got approval from a PM conversation with Sola, actually, so there was no thread. But he did say that I should host the mod at CoM, which is why I posted there as well.

First relase, it will just be converted to patch files instead of replace them, and will be traified, and possibly fix the drow leveling up (possible workaround - reset levels to level-normal, level up, then apply dayblind penaltites).

Will it still be a drow walking up to your cage? Because that was absolutely hamfisted and out of place. Also,

...I see... You're aasimar then... interesting... tell me more about yourself...

Well, I have some more ideas for the mod, as shown on the CoM forum. If anyone wants to chip in to help, that would be much appreciated.

(also, the creature used for the dialog will just be a bird or something, like what A64 did for spell selection. And it's just you recalling what your mother looked like.)

If the mod you are resurrecting is the following: BGII-Subrace, may I let you know of a bug that I found in it before you start.
The Teifling are supposed to have a lower charisma and actually get a higher charisma.

A minor point and one readilly corrected using Shadowkeeper, but I thought that the sooner you know of any bugs in the original, the better.

I don't think that you should make restrictions as to alignment of any race. Drizzt is a ranger for example.

There are evil and good humans, why not the same with drow?

With the current subrace mod I have been making unusual builds and like it.

One would expect most duerger to be evil or neutral, but all of them?

That's a bit racist.

There are fallen Devas, why not the opposite?

I have seen a complaint that in the original mod the drow lost their handicap in the light upon levelling up.

It isn't as simple as that. Sometimes they have that handicap at midnight!!!

I am no modder, but it looks to me as if the clocks go wrong or something like that. Or perhaps the clock just stops.

Due to the lack of reply, I am wondering whether or not my posts re problems with the old mod are helpful.
If you already know this stuff, I'll stop posting, but if helpful, I will add any further problems that I come across.
I really like the mod a lot and it is just the bugs that I don't like.

Thanks for the posts - you can keep posting. It's just that life is busy for me right now.

Hello, I'm back. And you can't find it because I haven't worked on it. Will soon.

By the way, about my activity, I may not be as active as I used to be, mostly because of a little something called Play-by-post.

Yes, this will. However, due to DnDOG, I've been busy for a while. I'll check back in here at points - and I'll still be working in this.
