In that Creature Selection video, I apparently forgot to add someone to the special thanks and that was Kays. Sorry about that, Kays you do deserve all the thanks we can give for everything you've done for us.

Don't worry about it. Just keep the interst and enthusiasm going. Show them that BW2 ain't dead yet. :D
 
Kool. I will keep this going, and perhaps in the future the game will still be alive and have what I hope to be full working tools like the BWM Exporter which is coming along slowly and Online MP.
 
Ok... I'll add some in a bit.  :;): [br][br]Added: [time]1201395994[/time]OMG?!?!? Theres actually going to be multiplayer?!?!?!?!?!?


THATS AWESOME!!!!!!
 
It's a future project. I've seen lots of games that don't have MP capabilities at all but only to have modders come out and create a fabulous Online MP for the game and to have the popularity of that game turn around.
 
Well I've give it a rest for a while, then gather up some coders that owe me favors and get them to work on Online MP, but I'm not entirely sure how it would turn out because Lionhead was pretty stubborn of the limits that put in to make some things almost impossible.
 
I'm sure that if you made a conversion mod like OGAM, you can pull of online. It's just a matter of making an online client and figuring out how to allow players to choose their color.
 
That's right. It's just another application that uses all the same things that the BnW2 main game uses, except its expanded. It won't be hard since Lionhead has introduced a god in BoTG, you'd just need to manipulate some code(perhaps from BoTG) to allow human-controlled gods rather than computer-controlled gods(though that could be added).
 
You know, if development goes smoothly, we could even try to include it into OGAM. But that's another story.
 
It's possible. But we'd probably get it started, after Part 1. It would be a great way to end the game, the story finishes off what will happen to the player when they left at the end of Part 1 on the verge of defeat. Starting Part 2 they start off where they left. Then right at the end the story ends in a way that BnW2 has been given the ability to have online MP.

We called even call it: Of Gods and Mortals: Online. If it were possible, there may be a way to make work like WoW or Stargate Worlds, where the story never ends. But it'll be a huge undertaking.
 
Alright guys. Dax said this could be my job. We need everyone here to lend a hand. I recently got a job on the team as a voice-actor. I also got one as a story writer. But I'd like to do as much work as possible. So the problem is that we don't have the tools to make the dialogue files. So that means I'm out of half my job. So we need your help Kayssplace, to make OGAM the best mod it can be. We need you people to sign here to send this petition to Lionhead to see if they'll help us along. We just need them to lend us a hand with tools, and for that to happen, YOU have to lend a hand.

So! I'm going to open a new thread/poll. There you need to vote "Yes" and make a post in the thread. It can be as simple as your name/username, or how much you want them to help out. Once we get enough yes votes, we'll send the link to it and this thread to prove to them that we're trying to make their beloved Black and White 2 more beloved by the public. We want them to know, that we don't care what their owner, Satan himself in company form (Microsoft), can do to them. They need to be able to be themselves and help us bring attention to their game. I at least aim to get a hundred signatures in there before we send it to them.

I'll be posting the poll momentarily.
 
Is there anyone with image skills, creating things like banners or headers. OGaM has been a part of Moddb for a while now and an admin has FINALLY fixed a problem I had with ownership, but now this has been fixed, I have the opportunity to include a header for the game on it's profile page.

You can reach the game's profile page here.

Thanks.

Btw, your support here could help in the long run at Moddb. Writing a review of the game may even get the game into a magazine like PC Powerplay, so show your support in this prosperous time.
 
Well apart from the news of copyright breach that I have heard, here some 3 pieces of fab news.

1. Me and 00din will be undertaking a huge project of creating Skirmish Mode for Black & White 2 soon. It will eliminate the need for placement of files in the correct folders, nor will you need to constantly change map.txt to play a specific map, and the great Kays has even supported us for a feature that will allow users with internet connections to download the latest custom maps to play. However if you don't have the internet at home then you can still download manually via Kayssplace downloads and install the maps(but I'm certain the Skirmish game mode will have a feature that will automatically unpack any map files and place them into their correct folders.

2. Second great piece of news is that thanks to the community's support for OGaM, the game I am delighted to say has been ranked in the Top 100 most popular mods on Moddb. The game currently sits at 80 of 7,009 with a total number of visitors so far equalling to 3,582.

3. Alkatraz2212 was kind enough to remind me about another thing we are going to do in the future and that is online games. It seems to be a rather simple task to do and will follow the same protocol as Of Gods and Mortals except players will be able to choose what type of god's hand, colour and possible teams.
 
Hey, if i can help with anything, well, count on me. Just having some problems whith the Mapping and etc tools, i cant even startup the land editor, i've already unstuffed everything in the right place, but when i try it starting up, it starts, and then it opens that error pop up, asking about some error logs they've created, and if i wanna send that to microsoft.


About the Beta, i've tried it and almost everything is working fine, unless the first gold task, the ship kinda walks in the earth and it get stuck. Also when i captured the Aztec town, the gods kinda, stopped, they freezed.

What version? Pre-DEMO Beta or Beta 3.37.

About the problem is the install path for BnW2 the default location because it would need to be the same path as the Unstuffer.

(XP - C:\Program Files\Lionhead Studios\Black & White 2\)
(Vista - C:\Program Files (x86)\Lionhead Studios\Black & White 2\)
