A new mod has just been introduced to the forum - Brythe, a new NPC for good and neutral aligned protagonist. Brythe is being developed by Shfelliot and SConrad, two of the leading writers behind the Khadion-mod. Brythe, however, is different from most (if not all) other NPC mods - he will never speak unless spoken to. If you want to talk to Brythe, you have to initiate it - and he will never force his opinion on you. Totally loyal to you, he will also never leave your party unless you ask him to. A new experience of gameplay will come from having Brythe in your party, and his dark and clouded past will only be revealed on your initiative.

Brythe’s forum can be found here.

Hi everyone,

Since earlier today, the brand new SHS Download Centre has been made available through the SHS Downloads Page. All hosted mods can now be downloaded by choosing “SHS Mirror” in the mirror list. The download directory can also browsed directly.

The mirror hosts all the latest versions of all mods found at SHS.

Should there be any issues or questions about the new download centre, don’t hesitate to reply in this thread, PM me or send an email to sconrad[-at-]spellholdstudios.net. Feedback and download speed reports are very much encouraged, so that we can make sure to maintain the quality of the mirror.

Regards,

Sebastian

After 27 hours of problems and bugs, we have finally managed to solve all issues and have reopened the forums again. Spellhold Studios now runs on Invision Power Board 2.1.2, and there are a lot of new features for everyone to explore.

But as you can see, quite a few things apart from the software have been changed. First of all, a brand new skin has been created, which I hope you will enjoy. I personally find it quite a lot better than the old one - both in design and usability. Also, some of the forums have been renamed and as have all usergroups. I won’t go into details - it should be easy enough to find your way around even with the new names, but if there is any questions, I and the rest of the staff are at your disposal.

A completely new forum has also been created; “Dili’s Playground”, a forum set up for all kinds of general gameplay discussion of all other games out there except those which have their own discussion space here. The Cowled Wizard in charge there is Jyzabyl, who we also welcome to the staff.

The existing Gameplay forums can now be found in the same category as the mods for that particular game.

Two RSS feeds have been added to the board; one covering almost all of the forums, and one covering the SHS news. You can find them at the bottom left (or right, depending on your browser) of the board, or click any of the following links: SHS RSS Feed or SHS News RSS Feed.

Thanks to the new software, we are now able to mirror the Infinite Engine Modding News over at The Gibberlings Three. The RSS feed is directly imported to a new forum just below “Directives from the Director”, and you should be able to read news there just as on G3. We expect that this is one step further in the attempt to simplify the process of mod and news announcement over the different communities, and hope that other boards will follow this example.

The forum software has been updated, however a few issues remain. It somehow seems as if the forum skin(s) have been corrupted sometime during the upgrade. The consequences are quite severe; many of the different features of the board does not work correctly, so we have decided to keep the board closed. Several ways to solve the issue has been made, but so far we’ve had no luck.

Fixing this can be time consuming, and we still have no ETA. Should there be any questions or issues, you can in the meantime contact me at sconrad [-at-] spellholdstudios.net

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that we’ll be shutting down the board for a short time at some point over the next few days. This is to upgrade the forum software, update to a new skin, and also to reshuffle the order of the forums. While we’re at it, we’ll also be changing the names of the usergroups. We hope you like the changes, and once we’re finished you can post any suggestions or comments in this thread.

Regards,

Sebastian
