Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Release my mod now or later?

Hey folks,

I finished my module awhile back but it was a little buggy so I held off releasing it. Unfortunately life's quite busy right now so I don't have time to fix the issues. I figure I might as well release the module. Unfortunately I have no idea what's going on in the DOS community right now. Apparently Larian is releasing EE and DOS2 soon? Some people are worried that these expansions will corrupt the DOS1 modules. If so, I feel like I should release my module ASAP. If not, should I wait for the new releases?

Thanks for your opinions.

Yeah, you're kind of in a bind. When they release the EE, people will still have the original D:OS that they can use to play your mod, though I doubt many people will want to go back to the worse version of the game. You should probably just release it now, even though there's probably not too many people playing D:OS right now.

D:OS 2 is only being kickstarted right now,so it won't be out until at least late 2016.

Have we ascertained whether or not EE will indeed corrupt our current modules?

Nobody knows, but I suspect at least some things will be incompatible. Whether it'll be completely unplayable and broken beyond repairing, or only mildly incompatible is uncertain.

Release it now, eager to try some user mods
And maybe perhaps you can update it to the EE when it releases.

My current plan, assuming I finish before the EE is released is to release for both.

If yours is playable, it wont hurt anything to release it for the current version. And then have your own EE for the EE if you are still interested.

I would not expect many players though out of the pre-EE version but who knows. There's still like 1000 people at any given time playing D:OS. D:OS non-EE will remain a separate entry in everyone's libraries so modding should have a clean slate workshop for the Enhanced version.

If you need any help squashing a bug that's particularly nasty and showstopping, I can take a look at it if you want.

Currently I have two main problems: adding music and making the credits roll when the player reads the final dialog in my game.

I'll take a peek at your reply in the music thread now, thanks

Oh I'll also add that, in addition to not knowing what the EE will break, we don't even really have any information about when we'll get the EE Editor at all.
