You've NEVER played good?!?
Good rulez

Ideal party will have a disgustingly neutral-goody goody leader, who will score the
lowest number of kills ever (excluding monsters)
Maybe just Neb and some slavers..

[T.G.Maestro]

Nay, sometimes (or perhaps: many times ) it is so much better to play a character who isn't affected by law or any other rules, nor by the destiny of others... someone, who lives for himself, and for the goals of his own.. and finally has the will and strength to get what he want's from life
BG2 is a perfect game to play this type of person.

[Littiz]

I often play like that, the individualistic hero who happens to do some
good deeds on the way:)
But the funniest I've played is the, uh, "life preserver"
Anyway Goodness has nothing to do with Law (and now Chev will haunt for me!! )

It's been to damn quite here. I guess i'm the only one posting here.......

We are still working on the next build... still called 3.1.2.

We are going to try the Tispack. I've had some good results with quality on it... and it will save about 14MB total looks like... maybe more.

Total tileset (tis) size for RTW is currently 70,978,872 bytes compressed with RAR to 19,636 kb

The new tispack will compress the tilesets into .tiz... then decompress them back to their original size. This gets the total tilesets down to
8,711,507 bytes at -q 85 ... then they can be RARed:p

I did a test with the newest area and did not see any noticeable change in the quality of the graphics. This should be great news for people with a dialup:D:D

And you are?
What I meant was; I'm the only RtW Beta tester that keeps posting here

Heh, we've talked about it a few times via ICQ. I know you and Quitch (and lets not forget Dyara and Xyx) are working hard on the mod. It just looks to me that i'm the only one left from the first batch of Beta Testers. (Outside the IEES group in-house testing of course)


That size decrease looks promising Cuv.

Hurray for Magervalp.... great work on that program.

I know of a few people that wish to continue testing... its just that they are burned out on BG2 and only wish to play this mod...hehe. Just hang in there Michel... it wont be too much longer.

Blasphemers!! Bg2 is life!

I'll be here, you won't get rid of me.

I'm still here and waiting for the beta, I'm just being silent because I'm afraid of people.

I'm still here and waiting for the beta, I'm just being silent because I'm afraid of people.

I'm checking every couple of weeks or so as well. Delvar's got it right on. These aren't very friendly forums (FW, not RtW), so I've decided to avoid it. I got tired of waiting for the mod and VERY bored with BG2, so I decided to play Final Fantasy for a while. Like I said, I'm still lurking and waiting for the release.

Well, i'v been here since the first Beta was released and i'll definetly wait untill the final release. It seems that there are only a few really dedicated testers that are willing to wait.

RtW is (as far as i'm able to say) compatible with all other WeiDu mods. Rtw uses it's own "new" areas so they don't overwrite original areas.

I'v played RtW with:
Sola
Tashia
Ease of Use
Item Upgrade
Kelsey SoA-ToB
Tactics. ( one or two components caused RtW to crash but I think that's solved now)
Dungeon Be Gone
Ascension (WeiDu Version)
Redemption 1.0.1
Valen
Expanded Thief Stronghold
Flirtpack

Not a problem at all.

I think I can safely say that RtW will be compatible with all other WeiDu mods.
I can't say anything about the NON-WeiDu mods though. Maybe someone else can answer that.

Huzzah! :-)

Keep up the good job RtW crew, and a special thanks to Magervalp, for helping us dialupers.
