Yes, I also like the natural bridge formed out of the rock. I enjoy interesting cave systems.
Even if it is a drow cave.
Harumph!

Again, I have to say, your area design is outstanding. Looking forward to the release. How far along in the process are you?
I have 3 more areas to build and a bunch of loose ends to clean up. So I’m thinking about 3 more weeks I should have a playable beta. How long the beta testing going to take? Hard to say.

Alupini..Looking good I'm going to have to investigate this drow cave hak as you can never have enough glowing mushrooms !
OfficerDonNZ.. That's the difference between games made by people who like making games and want to make people happy with them and ones out for profit. I think Bioware showed which side of the fence they were on by photoshopping Tali's picture while spending time and effort modelling a member of IGN's staff to put in the game then giving an epilogue of don't forget to buy more DLC and forgetting the rest of the crew etc !
I'm just glad I was put off by it needing Origin to play so didn't buy it, but my condolences to you and your Shepherd/s mine are all having a good time on Omega having just destroyed the collector base and that's where they'll be staying forever.
Tsongo.

*UPDATE*
Hey everybody!
Just letting you know that I finally did it, I’ve finished building. Yes I have a working beta version of Fanglewood. I just finished playing my first full length test game and it was for the most part a success. There was no game stoppers but I did have a couple of side quest stoppers.
The campaign took me 23 hours to play from start to finish. Minding you that is if you play every quest. I’m thinking that the average player will take around 15-20 hours to play.
I did find 124 things to be fixed a large majority of these being cosmetic. Most are simple fixes that should be no problem. I do have one that’s got me stumped and that is how to get an Encounter Trigger to reset via script. I’ll start a separate thread on that problem over in scripts.
I will be looking for beta players in the near future. But first I’m going to play test it myself until I get it running as smoothly as possible. I do have a short list of people who promised me in the past that they would be happy to play test so we will see how good their memories are. LOL I really don’t want to open up the beta version to the community as a whole. So I’m going to try sending out pm’s to all respected member of our community (Manly people on my friends list.)and see what type of response I get. I like to get a min of 5 play testers if possible but more would be better. If you want to make sure you get on the list of beta players just send me a pm and I’ll make sure you’re on it.
Thanks everybody.

Congratulations it's a good moment completing a first playthrough isn't it. Only problem I have playtesting my mods is that after a few beers I find it difficult to read my own writing when it comes to doing corrections !.
ps if this comes up double and weird it's because I posted it yesterday and nothing happened !

Thanks! LOL, I hear you about the few beers thing, that’s why I try and do most of my modding in the morning because after a few beers modding is defiantly not on the agenda.

Nice to have the time in the morning I bet that saves on you wiping out toolbars as often as I do too.
Perhaps we should start a what not to do when using the toolset thread I think the most amusing things that happen are when you forget to set factions and war breaks out and horses and chickens start joining in the fighting. Bit of a bummer if it's in one of the last areas of a mod though.
Anyway good luck with the testing I really like the sound of this mod and think that having a tangle in fanglewood will be top of my list during a "now what happens, where the hell is my story going, time for a toolset rest" moment.

Congratulations Alupinu! Looks like you've put a massive amount of work into this - kudos to you :-)
As far as things not to do while working in the toolset - I could write a big list, but top at the moment are not to try watching a film DVD 'in the background' while writing conversations - I really should know by now that I just completely lose track of what node should link to what & it all turns into a big mess!

@Ifmpw, yes working in the morning is nice but that’s only because at the moment I’m unemployed which is not so great. The good side is that it has given me lots of time to dedicate to my campaign. Who knows maybe I can find a job as a professional modder if such a job exist.
@Clyordes, Thank you. I totally understand the distraction thing; I had to move my computer into my bedroom and away from my TV just for that reason.
@kamal_, yea with a total of 10 modules. The funny thing is when I first started 2 years ago it was suppose to be a 2-3 hours mod but the idea’s kept pouring in and well… &%#@ happens. Not sure if that a good thing or not.

*UPDATE*
Hey everybody just checking in to let you know how Fanglewood is progressing.
Well we are rapping up are first round of beta testing. Need to extend a big thank you to Bealzebub and PJ156 for taking some of their valuable time to test my little campaign. Bealzebub finished last night, 7/20, and Pj156 is in the home stretch and should finish in the next day or so.
I am pleased to report that Bealzebub was very positive about his play through. Here’s what he had to say…
Nice little vote of confidence there after two years of work.
Everything has gone surprisingly smooth. Some of the issues are combat and treasure balance as to be expected.
My animated traps were proving to be a little tough so it was decided by all involved that they needed on/off switches. Thanks to kevL I was able to install some. Makes for interesting game play now, you can get the monster to chase you threw the trap, turn the trap on and nail his ass. LOL
Of course there are the spelling and grammar issues that I’m desperately trying to weed out. MinD took a beating because of less then perfect spelling and grammar, trying to not let that happen again.
Yes folks I believe we are looking at a mid to late August release. Not promising anything but that is what I’m shooting for.
I’m almost ready to start the second phase of beta testing which means I need more beta players. If you would like to jump on the band wagon and do some beta testing for me. Please don’t be shy, just send me pm and I will make sure to put your on the list for beta testing.

Well polished, and no bugs to speak of. The story line was interesting and the conversations were witty. It really drew me in.
All the areas looked great, and there were many surprises. Imaginative use of the placeables really helped the atmosphere and made things seem new. Not just the same old tile sets used in every .mod.
You'll get a 10 from me.

Im still on board for this, agree.
The story intro to the story it's self grab my attention from the start. Most mods i would play would either A. Give me a Head Ache, or B. I'd grow so bored of it.
Fanglewood kept my attention, just a bit upset i couldnt fin in time. Great use of placeables and tile sets as mentioned before.
Some how i find my self a lil shock at some parts of the story plots, normally im good at predicting parts of a story. You guys actually slip one by me lol
Looking forward to next phase guys keep it up.

*UPDATE*
Hey everybody!
Good news! Fanglewood may be getting released earlier than expected. Partly because I have run out of beta-players, can’t seem to find anybody else to take the time. But that’s not a big problem, my last beta players seem to be hard pressed to find anything substantial. With the exception of a few mis-uses of the word “there” or “your” everything seemed to be in good shape.
Still have a few loose ends to tie up, re-due my credits and clean up my files.
Another problem I’m facing is uploading. Fanglewood, fully compressed, is still about 345MB to large for the vault or Nexus. Hopefully I can get a hold of the administration to help me with this problem.
I’m thinking if everything goes right and the world leaves me alone, I should have it up and ready for play within about a week. (Fingers crossed) Hope everybody excited.
BTW, one last thing is anybody planning to release there mod with-in the next two weeks? If so please send me a pn and we will see if we can work something out so we’re not on top of each other.
Thank you!
