Patch 1.69?

[tenshiglen]

Anyone else see that there is a beta test of 1.69 going on? I just happened to notice it on the Gamespy chat window. 100 new creature models, 100 new spell effects, 350 placeables and the Purple Knight PC. I realize most of us would give UP content just to have the Vast back online, but it just shocked me that this game is STILL getting some attention. Well.. we can dream.

I agree - it's pretty impressive that the game is still being supported. Definitely some neat stuff in this patch.

I think 1.69 is supposed to be the last patch. At least that's what they've been saying.

The Tir Na Nog tileset is awesome, as is the Fort Interior. Some of the new tilesets are just rehashes of old tilesets with some things tweaked.

I'm still unsure if there will be or not horses in this patch. It would be nice to have them without depending on haks.

They are included as an animal mob in the patch. There is a community member, not a bioware employee, who is working on riding scripts. I believe they intend to incorporate his scripts into the final patch. If not, there is a good chance these scripts might be server side, allowing for rideable horses without haks (I think).

That would be cool. *crosses fingers*

Afaik the 1.69 will be the final patch, so anything not included won't be added unless using HAK's. Besides, horses never got my attention anyway (ever seen a Hin on horseback?

Might see a whole mess of hin on horseback... And that's just one horse. Now riding dogs are where it's at. They'll get a hin from place to place, and fetch his slippers when he gets there... When are riding digs going to get integrated. At least with horses there might be ponies. Still big for hin but they won't need quite as much ladder to mount up. Anyway looking forward to the patch. It'll be fun
