I agree with you. I was thinking more of the flirting aspect. But no matter this is an awesome mod and cannot wait until it is finished.

Can you say something about a possible release date of Thirst ? Demo was piece of excelent work,Thirst has an addictive story,splendidly created city, and very well written characters .
I really look forward for full version,and I'm sure everyone who has played demo,cannot wait for the final release.So, if that's not problem,could you tell something 'bout a release ?
I'm not going to extend my comment any longer and disturb you,so I only say I will be pleased for any possible response. That's all,good luck in making of this campaign and thanks for opportunity of playing such great module .

As I now have a "real job" I simply don't have time to spend 40 hours a week on Thirst. I am in the final stages, but it will still take some time yet and don't have an ETA on the final release. Even once I am content-complete, testing will still take a while.

Much of my free time goes into it but please understand that as this is a mod made in my spare time and for no profit, I can only do so much. I want to get it finished as much as anyone, but I'm also not going to release it in an unfinished, poor, or buggy state if at all possible.

What Does Stand Alone Mean?

As a huge fan of the CRPGs of old and somebody who likes intelligent and detailed stories to an unhealthy degree, I'm extremely excited about Thirst. You're doing a fantastic job so far, sir; keep it up! I can't wait until for this to be released -- and it's rare for me to say this about anything gaming-related, these days.

When I try to start the game and pick my origin the text area is large and bright green, covering the button to continue so I can't actually do anything besides pick what I want. Do you have any idea what might be causing the bug?

[searanox]

@mnidd202: It means that it runs as a separate campaign instead of an add-in to the original campaign. It's a completely different story with new locations and characters.

@ishidasachiko: Sounds like a mod conflict, corrupted download or similar. Things work fine on a "vanilla" install so you will probably want to start disabling mods one by one to see which is conflicting.

The Thirst Demo Update v4 file overwrites the background icons for ALL campaigns, even Origins! It also lacks descriptive text for the new backgrounds so I have no idea what the icons mean! You did mention that we should be running 1.05, however I am using 1.04 only beacause another mod mentioned that installing 1.05 patch can ruin your current mods! Edit: If I just use the main .dazip without the overide mentioned above I get no issues with the main game / other campaigns. I haven't played through thirst yet so I can't say if missing the override out causes any additional problems yet.

@3ldr1tch: You probably did not install the update correctly. Please be sure to place it in the correct directory (inside AddIns, not the main override directory). The only way it would do what you are describing is if it were taking priority over single player resources, which it should not do when installed properly.

Beta update of the full mod should be online shortly.

Let me be absolutely clear: this is still a beta. There may be bugs. There are some rough edges. It has not been extensively tested yet. Pretty-looking minimaps are not included. However, it is content complete (barring further tweaks) and fully playable.

If you run into issues while playing and want to report them here:

1) First confirm the problem is NOT the result of a mod or official DLC conflict
2) Explain what the problem is, where it happens, what happens
3) Give as many details on how to reproduce the problem as possible

Thanks, and enjoy!
