    I can hear the begging and pleading from modders around the globe. You are their idol. Welcome is a much too weak statment. A LOT of people are very,very happy for you. KotB can use some help, for sure, if you become so inclined.

    Seems like a big Co8 family re-union. ;)
    I wish CtB and Kalshane were back...

    Yeah. Blue's lurked here recently, around the same time as Kalshane's latest post. So, while they may not be active, they are amongst us. I miss Blair, too.

    Holy CRAP! I know you only by reputation, but everyone who still enjoys this game owes you a huge debt of gratitude, and I'm glad to actually have the chance to say so.

    I'd like Phalzyr back too.

    The secret-door-bug-workaround is clunky, unfortunately, but it does keep them in the game as proper secret doors, with DCs to be beaten by the search function etc. And thus far it seems to be working.

    Hey I dont post much but Ive lurked around this forum here and there for quite a while, and just wanted to say that im really looking forward to KOTB and all your [all of you] work so far looks fantastic!

    Everything you people do is very much appreciated - Thanks!

    I'd also like to give special thanks to Liv also, though i never knew you your somewhat of a legend around here! Glad whatever hard times everyone speaks of didnt keep you away for toooo long ^^

    Well, welcome back Liv, didn't know you but you've kept all our interest in ToEE from wandering. Glad you're back, and hope you can stick around to see KotB finished.

    The progress seems to be going great, nice job with the secret door workaround. By the way, I meant it takes them a couple years just to 'make' a game/mod. They already have the idea, while you guys took about the same amount (almost) of time to both get the idea together, collect staff, start the project, work on another persons engine(not easily modded either!), and still be able to get around bugs and blocks from the hard coding. It's amazing really, and I'm glad that I came here when I did, I hit the climax of developement it has seemed.

    Glad to know my little mod attempts made some difference.

    KotB makes anything I ever did seem like child's play.

    Seriously, it is amazing.

    When this sucker gets released I think it will be a huge success.

    Ok, the beta has just been patched with the major bugs fixed and the Secret-Door-bug-workaround added for testing.

    Things have been a little slow from my perspective due to work, but

    - Liv has created a secret-door fix, mentioned elsewhere in the open forum

    - The KotB art department are going great guns

    OK, Ted, I have no status in the community to ask this, but...

    You had a "modgasm" three weeks ago so...

    Damn, man! How long do those things last? Throw the community a bone!

    Well we have finally set some times for recording the voices (end of this month) so release not tooo long after that. I am just putting the touches to the endgame, and we have to assemble the huge number of new portraits that are being created.

    WELL before Christmas, i hope!

    Well before Christmas will be here in no time! I for one am happy to wait until "The Shining One" feels it's ready.

    Great job you guys.

    Hey, Shiningted, if you need another to do some reading and recording, I'm willing to try. If you need another voice.
