I have one suggestion: some of skill icon don't look too nice. Or maybe I'm wrong, and these icons with brown frames, are from scrolls? Try to make all icons the same type - with frames, or without whem.

But it's your decision ;)

I Disagree very much... I think they have done one hell of a good job.

[quote=sPoT";p="158481"]with frames, or without whem.[/quote]
Here i agree with sPoT...

But anyways... No time-pressure... As long as you'll release something soon :twisted:

Yeah... But I mean this: these skill icons should be with frames or without them - otherway they looks not too nice if they're together. But some skills are on scrolls, so they have frames... And... Nevermind... ;)

Remember they are still working on the mod.
Remember they also merged two mod(s bases) together.

Give it time.. theyll standardize everything soon enough

Those borders might just mean something. Like maybe it's an aura, or something like that. Besides, uniformity is boooooriiiiiing......

Here a few preview shots of the City of Paleth A2 town. They are taken well constructing the map so are as always subject to change. And do not have all the fluff added yet.

Here we have a shot of the militia HQ from the outside.

Here we have an inside view of main HQ hall with the entry to the Blacksmiths shop.

Here is a shot of the entry gate to the lord’s manor A3 town.

And final we have a quick view of the entry to the into the walls quest I have not made the Tbl modifications yet.

Great... Really looking good...
I'm assuming that you guys have been working so hard on the mod lately and that's why you keep us waiting with very few news??? :mrgreen: :)

Edit:
You might wanna visit that Blacksmith and repair your gloves... :lol:

Chapter 1 Act1, Act2 and Act3 are all located in the same location. The towns of the first three Acts are sections of the city Paleth witch are located in wooded setting. Similar to tile sets found in act1 in D2.

i dont like the idea of cursed items, cause i simply would never use them. why should i o_O. the positive bonus would have to be awesome so i would use them.

I would for sure use a cursed item if the possitive bonus brings me somethings it normally can't. I suppose the cursed items have higher possitive bonus than it normally can have? :)
