Disguises?

Post by CragOrion » Tue Jul 17, 2018 1:23 am

What's the word on these? Do we think we'll ever get NWNX working with them again? Or are they kaput

They will return with time. Currently, it’s too difficult to update the NWNX Names plugin with each new game version.

I can’t pretend to have much insight on that end of things, but I’ve talked to those that do. Word was the functionality will come to the base game, hopefully.

Unsure if that’s still the case. I’d not expect it back in the immediate future, but hopefully in a reasonable timeframe.

Thanks for the answer :)

I've asked the NwNX team about this.

I'm told a fix that involves a permanent* name change would work, and wouldn't be too much hassle to implement (i.e. about 30 minutes). For whatever reason, NwNX development seems to be on the back burner, though.

Fingers crossed, I guess?

(* Permanent in the sense that the game would view it as permanent, but it'd be possible to switch back. In other words, different implementation, same end result player-side.)

The ebb and flow of time and motivation. The reality of any community-driven open source project!

The unspeakable things I would do to or for anyone on that team, for disguisomancy to live again....

Done.

How about starting a donation gofundme for Liareth and supplying her with the best motivation out there: cash

Fair. Guess I'm just a bit grumpers about it. Despite many promises to the contrary, NWN:EE has been a direct downgrade in nearly every way.

Hoping you find your motivation soon!
