KINGI talk about my work on making Arcanum a native Windows 10 executable...and why I cannot release it.
Not really much of a deterrent as long as you fill your inventory with mana potions.why not just make it cost more fatigue? It's just too easy to spam.
a mana cost of 20 would mean you can cast it ~twice on a medium level (twice and then passing out on lower levels). I don't think the mana potion route would be sustainable in that case. Even a cost of 15 might suffice and would definitely be warranted considering the spell's power.Not really much of a deterrent as long as you fill your inventory with mana potions.why not just make it cost more fatigue?

He mentioned he might take a look at Vampire. Really looking forward to that one too.
Most mods are not strictly legal even if game companies generally don't do anything to stop them. A patch also isn't automatically free of copyright - and a patch upgrading an executable to one compiled with a much newer compiler will likely contain almost the whole new executable. I'm all for ignoring copyright where you can get away with it but I can also understand how someone who is himself still in the industry (even if semi-retired) would want to keep things 100% kosher. Also, whatever agreement allowed him to keep the source code could have additional teeth.I don't buy it. He can make mods like any other people. The only difference is that he'd be doing it using the source code that he owns. He's not bound contractually to any special treatment, he'd be just like any other modder. As a modder, he can release the diff patch for the current .exe.
What, remasters never happen? Or do you think the developers making them work for free?He's just being a drama queen. He also clearly wants Microsoft to pay him for essentially a mod. Good luck with that.
Sawyer made the mod purely for himself and then released it due to public demand. It's not official, he merely worked on it.Did Bethesda authorize an Obsidian staff member to make his own mod for New Vegas? Or he did it anyways, even without being given the green light?
I'm pretty sure there was an "official" mod for Fallout: New Vegas, but I never gave it a go, so I'm not gonna recall all details about it.
Yeah, not exactly official, which is why I used "official".Sawyer made the mod purely for himself and then released it due to public demand.

Back in the early 00s, Gaider released a mod for Throne of Bhaal (changing the ending and restoring the other bosses to their pre-playtester-feedback unnerfed states).
Such things are unnecessary. If Bethesda didn't want people making and putting mods out there, they wouldn't have gone through the great effort of making and releasing user friendly mod tools.Yeah, not exactly official, which is why I used "official".
But did he contact Bethesda, prior to releasing the mod publicly?
The idea that Microsoft/Activison would sue him or deliver a C&D for improving one of their products for free is ludicrous. As far as I know, no one has ever been in trouble legally for releasing a mod or an unofficial patch to a game.Tim is being an over-sensitive cautious nerd about this. He could release a binary diff patcher, getting around the compiled from source contract concerns
Co8 and Temple+ mods have got you covered!He mentioned he might take a look at Vampire. Really looking forward to that one too.
Yes, but I'm even more looking forward to him taking a "look" at TOEE... like, a really hard look. Something that makes it playable. I'd rather watch a Cain video of an improved TOEE than play it in its current state.

It's called an anal-something personality, not anal-retentive, but something else? In infants, it manifests as them refusing to poo, retaining the poo within, until begged or until sufficient attention to the matter is given.There’s a type of person who gets off on having something others want, dangling it in front of them and saying you can’t have it
Yes, would be unlikely for Microsoft. But still possible and even without legal action there might be consequences for someone that still wants to keep open the possibility of working with them in the future.The idea that Microsoft/Activison would sue him or deliver a C&D for improving one of their products for free is ludicrous.Tim is being an over-sensitive cautious nerd about this.
