ok, the "finished" base build is up - to make it short, this is what I would have shared a decade ago if I knew people would end up using the original quickly stitched together package as a base for further modding (so T2xFix done properly). see !ND_changelog.txt for the full changelog.

hires skies, interactive candles and a safe for work mod can be downloaded from there as well (candles and skies should be included in the next T2Fix update so from that point, those two separate downloads will become redundant).

Well, there's good news and bad news.

I have been using the DMLs I could grab on April 5th from various sources for testing. I found no problems with the original T2X v1.1, none with Ricebug's newer T2X version, and none with an older version of NecroT2X.

For the sausage problem in "Of Ill Repute", I decided to put the appropriate resources into the T2X zip archives, then verified that nothing extremely unusual happened with the sausages in various cases (with and without EP2, with and without DMLs, etc.). The worst that happened was that a T2X version without a DML, but with EP2, would display the sausage clearly as a "stretched apple". Since the end result should be something with a sausage-repairing DML anyway, I decided to leave it that way - minimal changes to any T2X version, and best results as long as a sausage-repairing DML was used.

I did then plan to write subtitles for the dialogues, but then a family member died in a not-very-pleasant way in April, and some more severe family troubles followed, and have not become less until now. Therefore, I made no further progress since about May 9th on the "T2X pre-patch install case". For at least one week, this will certainly remain so, since stress and troubles have notably damaged my health, and I have to give my own well-being a high priority, for other people don't. The cousin who died in April ignored the signs of his disease/failing health until it was too late, but I don't want to go along the same route.

Thus, I do not know when I might continue with this project. I have not given it up, but at the moment, it is halted, at least concerning me. fortuni, AFAIK, is tending to his new home, so he might also not go ahead at full speed. Someone, however, has done some work on the DML's on GitHub in the meantime, as the DML's present on November 7th show some differences from the ones available in April.

Life has a way of ruining even the best plans. Let's hope the T2X overhaul will just be delayed for some time, and not get buried like so many other ambitious projecs.
