Seriously, using a common phrase of speech literally? Yeah, you're not arguing in good faith, troll.

Icewind Dale and Diablo 2 have two completely different goals and design decisions. You're comparing apples and oranges.

Ah, no, "OpenKnights" is a loose group consisting of several projects and people. Neveredit is a part of that

(And yeah, I mirrored one of their repos that contain command line tools, mainly to get their NWScript compiler nwnnsscomp compilable again with a recent Bison. And then I also put in support for the new opcodes found in Dragon Age into their disassembler, because why not.)

The first original campaign is lackluster, yes. It's more of a demo of what's possible with the toolset.
But: the two expansion campaigns, Shadows of Undrentide and Horders of the Underdark, those are great.

And saying the toolset is "the only things it's notable for" sells the vast amount of great community modules awfully short.

Also, look at the "premium modules", they show a lot of promise. If Atari hadn't pulled the plug there, that would have been a great vehicle for continous updates.

Quoting: slaapliedjeor at least help the open source tool project, though I think that died long ago?

If you mean Neveredit, yeah, that one's unfortunately long dead.

Frankly, I wish they'd FLOSS the original toolset, but that's a difficult situation to resolve from a contract/legal standpoint, I guess.
