    Imminent, as in should all be released in the next few days. :)

    ------------------------------

    Name: Area Descriptions mod

    Description: Adds pop up text box area descriptions (like in the tutorial) to the following worldmap locations: Hommlet, Nulb, Moathouse, ToEE, Verbobonc, Emridy Meadows, Hickory Branch, Welkwood Bog (which doesn't exist yet). May in the future include other localized places within towns etc., such as Church of St. Cuthbert, Burne & Rufus' Tower, Fire Temple, Earth Node, etc. We'll see how people like the worldmap versions first. Also still kills the tutorial, as I couldn't figure out Sitra Achara's method.

    Status: Done.

    Name: PC Voice Sets mod

    ------------------------------

    Name: Portraits mod

    Description: Adds 48 new PC portraits from our artists Half Knight and Daadamo (originally done for KotB), increasing the PC portraits total from 37 to 84. Also adds a variety of new/improved NPC portraits, such as individual portraits for Nulb's whores, etc., many done by HK. Also adds a few new/improved monster portraits, many done by HK. Also intelligently re-deploys the existing NPC portraits so that there are no repeats and that sort of thing.

    Status: Almost done, waiting on one more PC portrait from HK. If he doesn't get it done in time you'll have a yellow smiley face in its place until we can patch it. ;)

    ------------------------------

    Name: Schools of Magic Colors mod

    Description: Standardizes the application of colors across the schools of magic over scrolls, wands, and potions. Now all items pertaining to a particular school will be of the same color. Adds a few new wand icons and potion icons to represent these colors. Colors: abjuration - orange; conjuration - dark blue; divination - yellow; enchantment - light blue; evocation - red; illusion - gray; necromancy - purple; transmutation - green.

    Status: Done.

Removes the NPCs in favor of chests. Removes overpowered items from inventory. Adds additional numbers of normal items. Adds a greater variety of clothing, as well as some additional armors and weapons, and adds some potions and stuff like that. Also adds a variety of new item icons, many done by HK.
