I fail to see the point of Lazarus' apparent hostility toward Project Q and it's certainly not warranted in a thread that should be reserved for complimenting TAD on the fine job he has done getting CEP 2.6 out the door to the Community. That being said, I do feel this little blurb needs to be addressed, simply for the fact that it is GROSSLY misinformed.
I am a PW owner who has inherited a module that has used CEP for the last 8-10(?) years (I am not sure how long it has been around but it has been a while.) And as such a PW owner, I am overjoyed to see an expansion on the availible content for worlds that use CEP, and as such I would encourage Project Q to get on board and contribute to the "Community Expansion Pack" (which in fact is one of the few remaining bioware thread catorgies) and not see it as a threat.
Somehow, ultimately Project Q and CEP, need to find a way to work together. But in the mean time, it is wonderful to see CEP is living, and evolving on.
When TAD first proposed a CEP 2.60 update, I proposed a merger between the two projects. However, after further discussion, TAD and I both agreed that the projects had drifted too far apart to make such a merger feasible AT THAT TIME. Instead we opted for allowing CEP 2.60 to include ANY elements of Project Q that TAD chose to - provided that the original authors of said content did not openly oppose its inclusion. This seemed like a fair compromise that would serve the best interests of the community at large.
Its unfortunate, Lazarus, that based upon a misconception of the current state of affairs, you chose to drudge up old skeletons. Firstly, lets set a few things straight:
- I am Project Q - at least in the sense that I largely control its creative direction.
- I hardly see CEP as a "threat". Frankly, I could care less if Project Q is used over CEP or vice versa. I think you might be confusing me with LR - the guy that started Project Q.
- CEP is a vital resource for the Community and I highly respect the work TAD - and others - have done to revive it.
- I encourage people to download CEP 2.60. As CEP is the highest profile CC project for NWN - and most likely the first thing new players will hear about - this ensures that the Community continues to grow.
- Lastly, I am "on board" with TAD and have been so for some time. In fact, I'd like to think TAD and I have a good working relationship.
Sorry, TAD - and other Community members - for temporarily hijacking this thread, but to those that know me well, you know I wasn't going to let that comment slide

Lazarus, if you'd like to continue this conversation via PM, I'd be more than glad to. It saddens me that a respected member of the Community seems to harbor such disdain for Project Q. Maybe we can iron these differences out, or, at the very least, agree to disagree and move on.
