The Harvest Moon Consortium

I've been following Dennis Dollins , aka Danmar, work for some years now.
I assume we all know of him and his knowledgeable contributions to the NWN community.
Today I read his latest post on his website;

[QUOTE]I'm considering releasing the module as is, in the state it's in. It can be played through successfully. But it can also not be played through successfully I'm sure. As in there are bound to be bugs and sequences that can get screwed up if you don't happen to play it just like I do.

But I feel there is a ton of decent stuff in there, especially scripting related that could help others going forward to NWN2. As well a reasonable amount of custom content that's unique to my module barring any of the few beta testers I in theory had not releasing it to the wild after downloading my haks.

What do you think?[/QUOTE]

So, why don't we get active and pop in to his site, click the Note icon and say pretty please? :p:

Grov, I likely prodded him in that direction. :_blah:Well, more likely nagged him. I have also kept tabs on his projects for a very long time. I was distressed with the recent silence and interest in other games. The greatest NWN CC guy was drifting. I have asked him on many occasions if he would contribute his tile work to the CTP. We have nearly all of his Vault releases as part of our sets.

He has held firm that wanted his module content left alone. So... Unless he decides differently. We will respect his wishes (believe me I have sent several e-mails inquiring). I am glad he looking into putting his material out. It is a shame that it is not a fully functional Module... But it is likely better then most of the material available.

Nagging could be good! Done the right way. I think one could and shold use a certain influence if one has the possibility.
When it comes down its because we all love our game and does whats best for it.
And being in the community for a while, knowing talented creations has not been shared or getting lost due to RL, makes me a good 'ole NWN-lobbyist.

I would like to think that I had something to do with Acropoles reapperance on the scene too. But I think that my inquirys wouldn't come far without the existence of the CTP.

So, grab those talents out there and shove them in this direction!

EDIT: About Danmar, the one thing that kept me interested is that he juggled his RL with great virtual creations for NWN. And for us that watches, patience is a virtue.

I couldn't agree with you more! Doing work on the CTP and juggling RL has always an issue. Reading Danmar's web/blog page for the past few years has kept me very eager to see a finished product.

I think nagging might have been to stong a word. In the last year I have likely sent three e-mails nicely asking for his content. Bannor has equally asked him for OC tiles that he had corrected.

Danmar was also kind enough to share the mdl's he uses for his skyboxes with the CTP. I have done some work on new skies, but that has had to take a back seat to tile fixes.

I am nearly done with cleaning up bugs in the LOK Dungeon this week. I have been on this set for a LONG time now. Just a little way to go, then onto the next set.

Haha!

Again, many thanks to Danmar!

Didn't have a chance to look at the module, but the haks are marvelous, as usual.

I looked through them real quick. I would of LOVED to have had my hands on this a year ago. I would have worked more of it into the CTP project. Most of what I learned about CC work was from reading Danmar's post on the BioForums.

I totally forgot about the Dungeon Masters room with the portal that he did! It pulled me back to some of the content I have forgotten. I wish I knew more about scripting. Danmar has a LOT of systems that he has worked into his module.

I am glad that he released what he had completed so far...
