ya the guy wont even fix it for 1.5

it sucks i hope staff wont take this as a reason to not use vault \custom content not of there own making

the lead devloper on the vault comments -

" Status Update: As of mid-March, I really have stopped NWN2 development for a number of reasons. I don't plan on updating or supporting this package. Everything is, of course, out here and available in this package. I'll be available for contact on the BioWare boards and I'm happy to coordinate or do whatever I can to support others carrying this project further into the future.

I'm sorry to hear that 1.05 broke something, if it did in fact.

If you have an interest in the project, please feel free to run with your idea and/or apply to the DMFI. "

Yes I read that. I think there is an industrious enough team behind Demetrious (the original head of the project) to keep it going. Let's hope at least.

There isn't, but given the near mythic status DMFI has reached and it becoming a necessary tool for NWN1, I doubt the community will let it go. Everyone's still a little hesitant about filling in Dem's shoes.

Well, there's a lot of talent out there in the community, and as you said its almost a requied script set now so I'm sure some of them will come together to keep the project afloat. I wonder if Obsidian hooked Demetirous or something....

I guess I can be pretty objective since I didn't even DL it.. but someone will probably take it up if its that popular.

Players could probably live without the DMFI fluff, but it provides absolute necessities to DMs.

You don't need to be script/mod savvy to understand how crucial these features are:

And more.

As a player, pure randoms and randoms with skill mods are the only parts that will really be missed, and they don't sound that hard too build.

That DM stuff is absolutely godly though.

Well, there are alternatives, of course. Some even look snazzier. But they don't focus as much on DM oriented stuff as DMFI did.

E.G.. http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NW ... ail&id=132

PC Tools.

Wow very cool.

After playing around with PC Tools a bit, I'd strongly vote for the server to adopt it. The fact that you can sit down (not kneeling!) is reason enough. From what I can tell, it's a great rp tool.

Haven't clicked it (at work), but if I can sit down, I say DL it. I'm so tired of having my character's stand.

For it to work the server must be updated with an erf (i think) that's included in the package. It's a mere 314 kb or so, so it's no big hassle. *puppy eyes*
