In the middle of the month that contains the fateful leap day, a hush descends upon the Infinity Engine modding community as you silently read the news that is to follow. (You were expecting me to say something grand, weren’t you?)

Many, many hundredths to Infinity
As the original Infinity Explorer meanders on to an integer version, bigmoshi contributes brighter areas, creature item flags, custom area resource viewing, and a duplicate resource fix to make this Infinity Engine file browser utility enter version 0.85. Check out the listed fixes and download the update here.

Lunette shields, for goodness!
Screw butt-kicking when you’ve got great looking in-game shields to direct your tunnel vision at. Dubbed ‘legacy bucklers’, Erephine has released a One Pixel Production version 3 preview of these round shields for your use, and has more recently tossed up screenshots of another set of shields for your piquance. Check out the zesty visuals here.

Five old mods. Five old mods. See how they run...
You’ll be right with these old modifications as long as they don’t get their tails cut off with a carving knife. Badgert has informed us of five old modifications combined into a single WeiDU installer. It adds some Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment items into a shop at the Adventurer’s Mart in Athkatla. Evaluate the edge, heft, and craftsmanship of the items here.

These updates should be enough to facilitate your illusions of grandeur for a little while longer. Till next time.
