    I started this forum because I want to keep the game and toolset separate. Now that it's been announced that the beta of the toolset will be downloadable (300MB though), I'm wondering how many of you will download it and play with it. ;)

    Dradeel's Recipe #752

    - 56k dial-up
    - NWN preachers
    - d&d rules
    - no party
    - Dave Gaider
    - 300Mb?!?!?!

    You slice & dice those, mix them up, cook on a dragon's breath and you get the answer:
    NO DOWNLOAD!

    I'm interested to see what it looks like - and how it all works (especially the scripting language). But 300 MB!! Yikes :eek: Not sure if I'm that dedicated...although, maybe I'll leave it downloading while I'm at work...;)

    I'll certainly be loading it up and seeing how 'user friendly' it really is. Broadband has its benefits. :)

    I want to play with it, but I want the modules created with it to work in NWN. :)

    Bateluer, didn't they say that they would try to create a converter that would make the modules created with the beta to work with the full game?

    Anyway, I might download it, but I'm not sure how much time I'd have to play with it. They better include some tutorials with it :).

    [​IMG] 300MB doesn't sound too bad. I will almost certainly download to see what can be done with it. After all I downloaded NWN video from GameMeca's visit to Bioware which weighed in at about 200MB ;)

    I'll download it for sure. My only concern is that they will only put it on fileplanet so I'll have to stand in line for a day or two......:rolleyes:

    [​IMG] You can be sure it'll only be on FilePlanet. Only site that can afford downloads that big. Unfortunately.

    However I might be too lazy too make my own game, I still suppose I'll practise a bit with the toolset... 300 MB... that's just 2 hours of sleep to get that :)

    [​IMG] Suppose I'll have to spring for an account on the personal server thing on fileplanet then....

    Is there a release date or something on this thing?

    Any day now. We'll post on the front page when it's released, of course.

    Luckily I have ADSL, but even with a 56k modem I'd try to down it. Not from fileplanet of course :).

    But once people got it, it will be accessible from other sources as well.

    I'll just peep in line at fileplanet and wait patiently.

    For really, really desperate people I'll even burn it on cd for ya and send it to ya.

    I guess I'll just share it on Kazaa or put it on FTP server and post the link here or something.

    [​IMG] I recently downloaded the NWN Model Viewer, unfortunately I can't use the Viewer because you must have a 32-bit resolution to use it, well mine is only 24-bit, does anyone possibly know where and how I can upgrade my res. so that I can use it?
