Sorry Daduke i'm afraid we got really lapse at updates, it was getting to the point where most of it wasn't anything visible that could be shown, such as plot info and stuff. At the moment we are not working on it, most of us have been busy with other things, work, holidays and moving so it has ground to a halt. We are waiting for Mebyon to return from his holiday and then we will be discussing what is going to happen in the future for this mod. I cannot at this time say for certain one way or the other if it will continue. It would be a terrible shame for all the hard work that has been put into this by numerous people, including yourself, to go to waste. It is not something i wish to see happen but sometimes circumstances mean that things cannot be completed. If this does turn out to be the case then all the models made so far will be released, with permissions from the original author, in seperate mods. But like i said it's all a bit up in the air right now, i'm sorry i can't be clearer about it

I believe the best way forward is to release all the files and information completed so far, with a simple webpage linking to all the files. People could download any of the files they want to use so all the work that's been done so far isn't wasted. If someone wants to complete the project then they can, but if not, at least something good will come of HK... Having said that, if someone wanted to develop it further, they'd still need to mention all the people who've contributed in a text file. Any thoughts on this idea would be greatly appreciated, as would any thankyous to Cali who's been trying her best to keep the project going when times have been tough... Afterthought: If we did put all files up for download, would any of the original authors NOT want their work published? Discuss.

Well what is the status on this- aka what still needs to be done for this to be in order? I am assuming dialogue and scripting (which if thats so I cant help)...anything else?

Yes it's mostly that, the men still need some clothing but there just aren't the meshes as yet Hopefully we will have new pants meshes shortly which will be a big help not just for this but in general, there's a distinct lack of nice pants. What HWW proposed above i wasn't keen on, i'm just reluctant to let this thing go, he has said he would like to work on it, and Mebyon seems to have a talent for storytelling so when he gets back from his holiday we can see what still needs doing.

we should probably also consider posting on the esforums, a talented dialogue and scripter would be alot of use as well.

Thought it was about time that i explain where we are at with this right now. This mod is on indefinite hold at the moment, all the imformation and files are still intact so there is no reason it cannot be picked up at a later date, but right now we are not in a position to do anything with it. My own modding time has been cut down a fair bit of late due to problems i have been experiencing since i had a fall last month. This has meant i have not had the inclination to work on this mod, or any mod, for a while. When this mod first started oldie was the person organising and keeping track of all the files but due to his heavy rl workload he had to back out, now although i have most of them they are not in a very organised state at the moment. I'm afraid i'm just not as good at it as him , but at some point i would still like to try and sort them out. That way it will be much easier if this gets going again. Oldie was also going to be doing the dialogue for this mod, now he always told me that he would still do that even if he couldn't do the rest. Trouble is he is not the easiest person to get hold of and although i have emailed him about the current situation i have still to get a reply. I would like to think he would have kept his word about that but knowing that most of the time he has to keep going away on business i really can't see him finding the time. This of course poses the biggest problem for the continuation of this mod as the dialogue is the biggest chunk of what remained to be done I can't even begin to fathom the complicated plots of this mod in relation to putting it into a working dialogue. Sometimes i just think that even with the best will in the world large mods like this don't always get finished, keeping a working team together is never easy and as much as those of us working on this are all friends it still had it's up's and down's, and arguments , but we did try to keep going as long as we could. I wont say the mod is dead as you never know but for now let's just say it's resting I also didn't want all the things i have made for it to just sit on my hard drive so i will be putting those into a seperate mod, if this mod does get done the fact that some of it is already out there is not really important as it's the quest that is the mod not the clothes or objects So those of you who have made you own outfits for this if you want to release them go ahead, or if you like i can include them in with my stuff, there is a thread in the in development section about it if you want to know more.

Thanks for that summary Cali. Spot on, as usual!
You're right about the difficulties in getting such a complicated mod completed. But wasn't it a terrific idea when it first appeared...................................! ;D
