Hi Lava,
fist let me congratulate you to another creative and very imaginative new mod from you. From a glance at the readme it seems to me as if these additions should have been part of the vanilla game from the start..
One thing bothers me though. I'm playing EET with as many mods in one playthrough as possible (let's face it who has the time for several) and as I tried to installed your mod via EET modsetup tool I got the following warning:
"Shades of the Sword Coast is a mod that adds new quests and enhances existing areas in BG1. NOTE: The mod is a stand alone effort and does not notice most other mods that add BG1 content. Mixing it with other mods leads to countless conflicts in game. Conflicting use of areas/game resources:
SotSC is conflicting with:
DrizztSaga
Rose re
BoneHillEET
The Grey Clan Episode 1
The Beaurin Legacy
Balduranas SeaTower
Indira NPC
Sirine scall
Ascalons Breagarquest
CorwinEET
deepgnomes
dsotsc
finch npc
gavin
mur'neth
tenya thermidor
the calling
The Rune
BG1NPC "
That's quite a list and these are only the known conflicts. I really don't want to risk my setup as I happen to play with all the above mods and more. So my questions to you are twofold:
1. Could you maybe - and I know its quite a task - contact the other mod authors to work out patches that resolve the worst conflicts
OR
2. Split your weidu install into seperate components so the user has the choice to pick and choose which parts to install and which ones to skip, whereas each component contains neccessary info which mods clashes with it ?
There are a lot of users out there who either never played the older mods or want to play through EET once but not 3-5 times in order to get the fullest modded game. So my guess is solution Nr 2 would be best?
However you decide - rework the mod or change nothing at all - let me tell you that I totally respect all the work that went into creating all your mods. That you decided to share them with the community is a great thing to begin with..
Thank you a n have a nice day.
