    So exactly where would one get the KotB mod- and is it worth it?

    There's a ModB link under "KotB Demo Final" under Keep on the Borderland. It's very good, but it has problems.

    Glad to see the mod is not dead! Are you ready to announce a release date for the first version?

    Actually, I think the project is dead. At least for now.

    That's too bad since this project was a really good idea. Did he announce he is giving up or are you assuming the lack of updates means the project is dead?

    I don't think KotB is quite dead at this point, but after reappearing a few months ago to announce its revival, Ted has been absent again for a few months.

    I think family life has taken a hold on the Shining One for awhile.

    I have faith that he will return when life permits it. :)

    Hello lads and ladettes.

    Apologies, yet again, for my absence. I moved house back in March and what should have been straight-forward led to the sort of fiasco only my life seems able to generate. Ah well.

    On the upside, my full-time night position continues for the moment and I have gotten a lot done. The plan (for anyone who remembers) was to finish the Caves and do some testing while I finish the Inner Bailey (which is mainly simple stuff like making hordes of soldiers and sectoring a bunch of tower rooms, plus a couple of complicated scripts for 'what are you doing here?' responses that are intelligent without being annoying / intrusive.

    Then release :)

    That plan is nearly achieved as I am in the process of packing up a testing version - the Caves are done for the sake of the first release. I'm having a few issues packing the whole thing (its 700mb or something and I haven't had to pack a release in a while) but I'll get there. Also, I am well into the Inner Keep stuff with a pleasantly complicated Disguise skill thing under way (so you can creep around as a Guard if you can nick a uniform, etc).

    For the moment enjoy 7.9 when it arrives and I will let you know what's happening with KotB as it develops. I should be around here regularly and may post a screenie or two :)

    WHAAA? I thought KotB stood for KILLing of THE BUGBEARS!

    I was looking forward to killing a horde of bugbears due to the lack of bugbears in TOEE.

    Fine .... I'll just have to settle for a well thought out and expertly executed group of areas and scripts wrapped up in an adventure that will most likely go down in history as the greatest achievement of the TOEE engine.
