Any word yet on when North will go 1.67?

Please read the news and announcement section of the forums.

1.67 hasn't even been out for 3 hours and this appears...LOL

Let the devs have a chance to download the update and test the mod, okay? We'll get it up and running onto 1.67 in the next few days. Like DM ex Machina has already stated to try and avoid posts like this, do not upgrade to 1.67 until you've seen on the forums that we've moved to it.

Didn't realize it was that fresh... have been off line for a couple weeks.

LOL np. I'm just as curious to see what has been added to the mod.

finally beaches with grass, and water woooohooooo. Now if they would add real hills, haks would become less and less needed.

those tilesets are an extra 17MB download on top of the v1.67 patch. I have downloaded them and would love to use them, but they're installed to the hak directory. I'm discussing this with Pros, although I'd love to use them, I don't want to start a hak requirement precedent for NS.

That stinks, didn't even notice that they were put as a hak. Only saw the screenies.

Yeah, since it is bioware material there's no saying whether bioware would yank the "free" part of that additional material. If there was a reasonable expectation that this stuff would remain free, on the other hand...

Interesting news, folks. Pros and I have been playing around with the new tilesets, and really like how they'll look. This MIGHT be the first hakpaks that Neversummer uses, as they really add some nice flavor to the maps.

We're testing how hard it is to integrate the maps into the mod right now, but if everything goes well, we may encourage all players to download those extra tilesets. Its an extra 17MB download. More on this soon.
