Is there anyone still active in creating a Birthright NWN module?

When NWN first came out, I started working on one set in Taeghas, but life
intruded and I never got back to it. I intended on having it end with a
huge showdown with The Elf.

I have a couple set in the Imperial City that I started, and one my brother was working on (set in Tuornen, with elves as the enemies). I did a fair amount of work on the college of sorcery one, but then lost interest in it.
Let me claim your Birthright!!

If someone would volunteer to made Birthright models and skins, I believe that Birthright rules could be implemented much better in Morrowind engine and scripting language. I`ve given a lot of consideration to both modular CRPGs. I think that all aspects of Birthright game could be implemented in Morrowind while some would be impossible in Neverwinter Nights. One reason for this is that NWN runs all the areas in the same time. With number of global scripts Birthright mod would need, it would be barely playable on fastest machines. Another reason is limitations of NWN scripting language which makes some things simply impossible.NOTE: Messages posted by Birthright-L are automatically inserted posts originating from the mailing list linked to the forum.

Like what is impossible?
The only problem i have heard so far would be massive war battles. NWN
gets laggy if there are more then 20 spawns.
But what is the goal of making a BR module? There are a lot of Domain
turn based BR games out there, but there are none adventure based ones.
There are so many area`s on cerilia that are suitable for adventuring.
Why say "well without domain turns it aint BR" (not saying you say so
milos :)
(in a single player module domain turns can be done without to much
trouble, in a online multiplayer it`s a bit harder)
As a player I really would like to get my hands (and sword) on a
awnshegh. I any other game I would try to go Big-bad-stonebutt out of
the way. In NWN I can finally try to walk in and let me turn into stone
for the difference.
I really think NWN BR can be a huge playground after all, also for
people that do not know birthright.

I'm pretty familiar with NWN, as I play it every day on the HAZE PW (the best RPing PW for NWN- www.hazepw.tk).
What would a Birthright mod need, really?
-Blood Abilities
This could be accomplished a few different ways, but the easiest is probably to set up a subrace system and have either a dialogue at startup to choose blood abilities, or have it done randomly. For example, if you wanted to play a human scion, you would choose the human race at creation, then put in Human Scion for your subrace. Then when you entered the game, you would get your blood abilities (which would probably equate to nodrop items you used).
A complication of the blood abilities system would be investiture and bloodtheft. How that could be implemented, I'm not sure.
-Magic
There is no magician class in NWN, of course. Anyone who wanted to play a caster would have to also be blooded (or elven). I guess you could probably just trust the players to abide by the rules on this one.
-Magic Items
NWN has a tendancy to simply drop loot on it's own. Since it is based on the gods awful Forgotten Realms world, there is a LOT of magical loot. Something would have to be done about that.
-Elven Priests
This is another thing you could probably just trust the players to abide by.
That is all I can think of right now. Most of those features are certainly doable. A BR mod could easily happen.

Hello all. I'm the author of the relatively old Bloodline system scripts on the vault, and I'm thinking of revisiting the idea, but this time with the BRCS and a lot of the new scripting that I've learned. Here are my ideas on the issues:

Would anyone be interested in having me implement something like this? I'm asking because the last set of scripts I created didn't really see any use as far as I can tell, and I don't want to go through all that trouble again for nothing.
