- Almost been a year since I last updated this.
Last year has been harsh so I didn't have time to
work on my projects. Things are looking up now and
with work started again on my campaign, I've started
work on nwndynlib again. It's
progressing nicely. Hopefully this time I can keep it
up.-- Eyrdan

Apr 27, 2003:
- Finished moving. Things have been busy on the
OpenKnights front which has kinda
kept me away from nwndynlib.
However, with the BioWare database beta
testing, I am back to working on my campaign, which
is relying on nwndynlib, so work has
picked up again. I won't put a date on release 1.1,
but it should be soon, as what is needed is
documentation and a nice package of default example
libraries.-- Eyrdan
- On another note, someone has written a python
script for generating dynamic libraries. It can be
found here: http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/jlehmann/nwn/.

- Things have been difficult for me lately. Several
things have popped up in my personal life and I
haven't had the time to give any time to this
project. I'm moving soon, so I will delay all my
efforts to after the move.-- Eyrdan

Feb 15, 2003:
- I did a minor update to the CVS version. The API
will not be changed further for release 1.1. Also
finished my optimizing and testing of the converted
BioWare libraries. I'll release the final
version once the documentation is done. Right now my
focus is on the possibility of writing an application
to perform on-the-fly dynamic conversion to
libraries. -- Eyrdan

- Implementation of 1.1 is done. Right now I'm
testing converted BioWare libraries and
optimizing them for better speed. I will get started
on the documentation when I'm done, and the release
should be out shortly after. -- Eyrdan

Feb 8, 2003:
- So had a long day, watched a crappy movie, coded
a lot. I added a lot to the API from the comments and
discussions I've had. I have to announce that I will
have to give up the idea of the
1.0.1 release and go straight to
1.1. 1.0 was really
just alpha-quality code. It may have worked OK and
was a nice proof-of-concept, but it was very limiting
and had serious performance and memory problems.
1.1 will actually provide MORE
functionality while still becoming more efficient,
not to mention a whole lot less wasteful and risky in
memory. However, it will not be compatible with
1.0 as 1.0.1 was
meant to be. I think the code is close to completion,
but I need to do some testing and rewrite a lot of
the documention. -- Eyrdan
- On another note, a bit off-topic, I noticed I got
a hit coming from something called The
Narfell Campaign. I don't really know what
this is about, as it required a login ID to view, so
I'm a bit curious. It's the first time something I
was totally unaware of linked to my web page. --

Migrating to SF!
Due to the amount of hits I'm getting on my Tripod website, I'm moving the project here for better management. This will also eliminate the popups, and give better tools to users for feedback. -- Eyrdan

- It's been a day since I made this public, and I
already have over 50 listed downloads on NWVault and
my thread on BioWare's website has over 200 views, so
it's encouraging to keep working on this. I've
recieved one testimonial from Vendolin who basically
cut his module down to about half the size and built
it in a bit more than a third of the time, a very
nice improvement IMHO. He also mentioned that he did
a test run of the module and encountered no issues.
This is encouraging, but I won't claim yet that it is
bug-free, shoot me if I ever claim that. This said, I
think I'm gonna start looking into making an easy to
use converter to change static libraries into dynamic
ones, because I was about to try converting HCR and
it was a bit intimidating from its sheer size. --

- I applied for project hosting at SourceForge.net.
This will make it easier for me to manage the
development (tracking bugs, documentation, revision
management, forums, etc.). -- Eyrdan

- I just created this site as a home page for my
development of the dynamic library API. Current site
content is very limited, but as time passed I'll put
up more documentation and ideas on here. --
