Day one.

Forgotten Places has been the actual name of the mod, where as A:WIP came from the name I gave the original upload.

About this Mod... what does it do? I am completely new to mods for Arcanum. I only recently started playing it for the first time. My dad kinda got me into it. He played it for years.

He's a bit computer illiterate, so he wouldn't have been able to do this. But I just wanted to know what this Mod does. I installed it, but no change in anything that I'm aware of. Maybe I installed it in the wrong place hmm?

I didn't find instructions. That would help. Oh and I hope I didn't come off as if I have an attitude, because I don't, lol.

Anyway, I hope you'll be able to answer the question. Thanks in advance. I'm a bit slow at responding, because I don't get on the net as much as I'd like to. Forgive me if I don't reply back after you give the answer, right away.

Good job rroyo. I don't suppose this means you'll now be able to get started on Infinite Arcanum? Hmmm? Huh?

'K thanks.

If I have to kill you in order to keep rroyo focused on finishing AWIP I will.

Be at ease, Vorak. I've managed to resist the temptation so far. (To a point....)

GrimmHatter: I've got the thread printed out and stored away. There will be an initial (very tiny) step in that direction with the Cavern of Madness I'm currently working on. If I can make it work properly, then I'll be that much closer to being able to start such a project as Infinite Arcanum.
