hehe have you made a forum request yet for hosting for old hublepot lol

Nope, but I guess I should.

This'll learn me not to joke about potential mods, eh?

[BobTokyo]

Request: Mazzy Dialog.

I can't believe I forgot about her. Could anyone contribute something? Avoreen versus Chauntea, life in Trademeet, or Halfling garden design would all be good topics.

[SConrad]

! where and will this be available for download? I'd really like to try this one! among all the serious npcs it'd be great to have one like this

Thank you Imm. I was hoping that the scripts would go out to the voice actors tonight, but at this rate I don't think all the writing will be done before Wednesday. Conrad has been coding like mad, so we're OK there. Hopefully Hubelpot will be released sometime next week (fingers crossed).

After which I'll owe Sconrad a ton of writing for his swashbuckler.

"Coding like mad"...

Well, maybe so. But it sure is a lot of fun!

Hubelpot'll turn out great. I promise. And it won't take too much time before we release it.

A hosting would be great.

The picture looks very good. But we need to make a decision if we're finished with it or if we should tweak it even more.

I'm happy with the picture as is, but if you and SK feel it needs further tweaking then that's cool as well.

We still need:

1) Mazzy Banter
2) Minsc Banter
3) Korgan Banter
4) Four non-turnip related Jan Banters
5) Any interjections or banters folks would like to submit.

I still need to do:
1) Joining dialog
2) Four quest dialogs.
3) Leaving dialog
4) Tree of Life dialog
5) Hell dialog
6) Pocket Plane dialog

[BobTokyo]

No, the portrait looks fine by me. I'll include it in the mod.

What about Hubelpot's advisement to the PC when he has to decide about being a god or not?

Should he have any banters in ToB?

TOB banters are beyond what we can reasonably get done in the next few days. I'm working this week; it'll be hard enough to fit in the writing and editing as it is. I will however add some advice on becoming a god.

After we do get this done, at some point maybe we'll do a TOB expansion.

[BobTokyo]

One more item: I'll add a TOB epilogue.

[SConrad]

Great, that was my next question.

[SConrad]

Wow... 7 pages. Just for little Hubelpot...

[SConrad]

Oh, so, i mean, will you open a new forum for this mod as well? or will it be a diversion or.. uh? You see 7 pages in a few days means "popular" in my book

I thought about a new forum as well. 7 pages is a lot, in a few days, as you say. And when we release the mod, people will give bug-reports and such (well, hopefully not, but most likely). And we'll probably have a FAQ. So... should I pm Neil and see what he says?

Just some kinda off topic and old comment: SConrad, that 1st farmer portrait was just great!! Thats the only reason why i wish this npc was a crazy gnome    :turnip2:

I liked it too. But as Bob has said, we're not trying to do a parody of other NPC's. Hubelpot is just a farmer trying to do his best in a world not destined for him.

Well, I already sent in an aplication for hosting, so lets wat a day or two before we PM Neil. There's a fine line between "eager" and "annoying".

True. But there is a more distinguished line between "hosting" and "forum".

Argh, right you are. I'll PM away.

Okay. Sounds good. I take it you'll move this thread there, if we are allowed to start a new forum.

[BobTokyo]

Yup. If I feel really industrious, I might even seperate out the banters and response into one thread, mod info into another, etc. I asked for both of us to be forum heads, so (if it goes through) feel free to reorganize the threads as you like.

Thanks. I'll get into that, later. Need to sort out my bloody innate abilities for the VF-kit...

By the way, you may want to be careful with that Stun ability. Hubelpot is not meant to be unbalanced compared to other NPCs, and stun is a major league trick in BG2. The save should be easy to make, or he should get the ability late, or both. Jan's Bruiser Mates are the model I'd suggest using, and as Hubelpot is more flexible in what he can make I think he should actually get the Stun Veggies at around level 10.

Just a thought.

[SConrad]

I know... I'm thinking of removing the stun.

We've got our own forum. I don't know if I'm able to move this topic, so please, Bob, can you do it?

I'll try and sort the posts later...

No problem. Moved.

[BobTokyo]

We now have our Mazzy banter, and another Jan banter. We could still use:

1) Minsc Banter
2) Korgan Banter
3) Three more Jan Banters
4) Interjections
