We need already a new CEP for EE?

A lot contents have been done for EE by the Comunity

We need already a new CEP for EE? :smiley:

I doubt that, for two reasons.

Firstly, CEP2 is already in use by hundreds of modules. A new release of CEP2, extending, conserving and repairing the old content, would help everyone, but a new, incompatible CEP would only be of interest to start-up modules, of which there are very few.

Secondly, CEP represents a vast effort and teamwork over many years. Thereā€™s nothing remotely like that capacity or commitment in the community now.

In brief, nether needed nor feasible.

I wish there were a team willing to take over the CEP2 assets from TAD, maybe adding content from CCC etc, but even that is a challenge we seem to have no takers for at present.

A new module designer will benefit more from learning hak compilation than from ā€œLoading up CEP and being good with thatā€

It would be really cool to see the CCC start up againā€¦

Iā€™ll release some CEP 2.65 to NWN:EE 2da merges this week. Currently, the list of 2das that I am merging are; load screens, door types, generic doors, appearances , placeables and base items. If I am missing any others, please let me know. I will be creating just a package of just the edited 2das and folks can then add them to whatever tophak they use in their modules (or create a new custom one if they just use the CEP version).

Adding custom feats for the CEP weapon additions is something I plan to do later on for my own PW, but I am not certain that I will offer it to the public afterwards. Mainly because a custom TLK will be involved and edits to class feat 2das required. Additionally, my own edits will contain more ā€œweaponsā€ than those in the CEP 2.65. I am adding silly ā€œweapon featsā€ to support things like holdable tomes, kitchen tools and frying pans, mops, brooms and buckets, etcā€¦ I will probably submit a ā€œHow to Guideā€ on adding these feats so others can make their own.

Please let me know if I missed anything in the merges between CEP 2.65 and NWN:EE.

@kalbaern I modified the CEP 2.65 page to mention yours as a Related Project.

Very useful.
