It was a good component; however, it overlaps considerably with the SCS version of improved Trolls. This is one case where I suggest the player uses the SCS version.
1) Which of the encounters add items that you can loot later? I'm not exactly a fan of seeing enemy npcs added with unstealable and undroppable items that are extremely powerful and should be rare (for example, whole parties equipped with amulets of powers)
2) I saw inside the readme that you seem to be making something concerning dragons - weren't you satisfied enough by SCS dragon, to consider such a component ?

I haven't been in Tactics Remix in a hot minute, but most encounters should add an item or two per drop. Enemies do have some unstealable and undropable rare items as it's easier to assign the item to provide the stat/bonus than edit the character sheet.
I was not satisfied with SCS dragons, or those offered by other mods, and view them as pushovers that can be killed in one or two rounds. To paraphrase Wes, "This is dungeons and dragons, not dungeons and demiliches".
That remixed Frau Blucher in the Docks. That was awesome but a "little" crazy, holy shit! hahahah there was so many bonebois on the screen I could not see my party.
Mod just becomes better and better with every update.

Sorry but I disagree. Scs handle trolls in a very different way and so it is quite subjective to determine witch one is better.
Tactics trolls component was very interesting about making trolls challenging (+40% damage resistance iirc) and without micromanage a lot (no need fire or acid to kill trolls)
Has there been a discontinuation or a change in websites?
I am currently going through my mod installation list, e. g. adding some mods I have not played yet,
such as Call of the lost goddess. During this process I also check on all mods and the websites etc..
for any changes, and so forth.
In a local bookmark I have kept Tactics Remix here (the remote URL that is):
But this appears to be unavailable now. It also seems as if gibberlings has been doing quite some changes
recently (no clue about any of this yet, been a few months or so sine I last checked it) at https://github.com/orgs/Gibberlings3/repositories?type=all. I had a look at the gibberlings
website for news, but did not see any news, so I am not sure what is happening (if
anything is happening; I haven't yet caught up with any news here).
So, skipping the discussion in regards to maintaining mods (I actually understand
both sides, but I'll skip it as said), Tactics, as well as Tactics remix, had
some interesting concepts. The mod was not extremely well-balanced (I refer to
the original one; the extension shared this problem to some extent), but some
of the encounters were interesting and/or challenging.
I felt that the mod could be split up into either several components and/or
quests. For instance, the bounty hunter component could be more a quest-line,
so we could have similar villains as Kuroisan or that gnome guy hunting the
vanilla ... Valgyar or what the name of the ranger was who was hiding. That
could be a series of, say, six encounters with bounty hunters. Two would
already exist, more or less; so a few more would have to be added (or, if
that is too much work, three encounters, last one could then be a party or
so, from which Kuroisan and the gnome illusionist split up prior). And
yes, that is mostly hypothetical, as any change requires time investment
from people, which is a finite resource. But, who knows, perhaps someone
takes some input and ideas, because I think it is also kind of sad that
Tactics are completely gone, even with issues that they may or may not have
had.
The other components could also perhaps be modified a little bit. One theme
is that undead theme, e. g. vampire lich, or the extra guardian liches for
Kangaxx. And yes, the placement is a bit odd (look how the Dusk NPC mod
actually solved that, they added a new area, which is a GREAT way to
handle this, in my opinion, at the least better than spawning in a location
and closing down the exit/entrance). So that component could perhaps be
integrated into something like "the lich tome" or so. Perhaps even tied
to the lichdom mod (and then made a separate component, so perhaps two
mods).
Some other components may be integrated into other mods, e. g. the tweaks
mod could perhaps add the "improved rune" or so, for the fight where you
get that staff of the magi that turns the wielder invisible.
The component with the two rituals ... well, the ritual where the party
gets that dream scene, could also be integrated into a bounty hunter
mod. And actually perhaps having a bounty hunter mod in total, with a
new kit: bounty hunter (how creative ).
The other ritual ... it's a bit like a final fight, due to the big
boss there. Not sure how to retain this easily. Perhaps similar to
the lichdom mod, there could be a dragon mod, which would then take
up this component.
I think I forgot a few, such as the changed AI for the ... merfolk
thingies, and a few other changes. Perhaps the tweaks could also
incorporate this.
And perhaps not all at once, but in a step-wise fashion.
There is actually a precedent for integrating good ideas - the
old stronghold mod, for instance, is integrated for the most part
into another mod. I forgot the name right now, but due to that
other mod I no longer install the old stronghold mod (also because
I ran into bugs, although the bugs may have had to do with weidu's
re-install feature; either way I am using the other stronghold
mod now. I think it was from tweaks or something.)
It would be a shame to put the Tactics idea completely to rest,
because despite issues, I think the idea of challenging fights
was good one for older players (not so much for new players; for
new players I'd e. g. recommend Lava's mods, since they are in
general much better designed. On reddit, Tactics is often
compared to SCS, so perhaps these mods are more for "advanced"
players as primary target audience. I do not have much experience
with regard to SCS, so I can not really comment).
Anyway, TL;DR: Perhaps some heroes will rescue the Tactics
mod, or, if that is too much work, perhaps rescue a few of the
ideas it had presented.
As said to you before, there is no need to "rescue" Tactics, it's actively being maintained. I'm currently working through new components for both BGEE and BG2EE. I also have progress to add to IWDEE. I will not be adding quests around these one off fight encounters as that goes against their original design.
I am currently playing BG2EE using Tactics-Remix and SCS and it's a blast so far! This is the first time in years that I reduced the difficulty slider from Hardcore to Tactical. I really enjoy what you've done in this mod. Liches are now really frightening
I'm still in chapter 2 so I'm sure there will still be a lot of bad surprises coming up
Yes, those are the ones I'm talking about. It was painful when I bumped into that lich in the docks next to the shadow thieves building. I immediately decided I can't deal with that yet even though at that time I already dealt with the lich in the city gates area. Their difficulty level difference is substantial. And same with Kangaxx guardians, which I like a lot. And contextually Kangaxx's guardians make a lot of sense too.
I am encountering a strange behaviour that I didn't observe in my previous playthroughs. In Twisted Rune in BG2EE, there is a lich and another mage both of which can cast time stop. They summon a few Fallen Planetars. If they cast time stop while there are planetars around, those planetars also do not do anything during time stop as expected. However, as soon as the time stop finishes, it plays out like planetars actually continued hitting and hit me like 10 or so times, and I'm instantly dead. Even though there are other monsters there too, this behaviour seems to be only happening specifically for planetars. I am using Hardcore difficulty, and I have quite a few mods but the most likely candidates seem to be SCS or tactics-remix. Here is my weidu.log in case it's relevant:

I am encountering a strange behaviour that I didn't observe in my previous playthroughs. In Twisted Rune in BG2EE, there is a lich and another mage both of which can cast time stop. They summon a few Fallen Planetars. If they cast time stop while there are planetars around, those planetars also do not do anything during time stop as expected. However, as soon as the time stop finishes, it plays out like planetars actually continued hitting and hit me like 10 or so times, and I'm instantly dead. Even though there are other monsters there too, this behaviour seems to be only happening specifically for planetars. I am using Hardcore difficulty, and I have quite a few mods but the most likely candidates seem to be SCS or tactics-remix. Here is my weidu.log in case it's relevant:

Tactics Remix, at the time of this post, does not alter Planetars or their scripts. I am solely summoning in the existing Dark Planetar file.
So in the last few days I built up towards a power-group, to determine whether it is
possible to win in the Improved Irenicus encounter (or whatever the name is; the one
where a dragon is close to Irenicus, some strange floating swords, two beholders,
one lich, several shadows and three wraiths next to some wraith king or something;
and of course Irenicus).
Before I describe that group briefly, let me add that I was able to workaround
the other issue in regards to the Bridge's Block, where one NPC does not show up;
I tested it and installed Tactics Remix, BEFORE I then installed Bridge's Block,
and the NPC did show up. So, installation order alone can workaround the issue
of the NPC not appearing. (Oddly enough, there was no vampire lich in the warehouse,
even though I installed all enemies of the Tactics Remix mod; not sure why, perhaps
due to the Back to Brynnlaw mod, so maybe I should have changed the installation
order there as well. I noticed that only in Chapter 6, so I did not peek inside
to check whether the vampire lich would show up. Should have done so before Chapter
6. Anyway.)
My main character in this party was at level 34 at the time of the encounter with
Improved Ireniucs. The other party members were Viconia, Edward, Dwaradime (rather
than Jan), Dusk and Korgan, at around the same XP level. (I should also say that
while Dwaradime is stronger than Jan, multi-class characters seem to be significantly
weaker. Evidently one trades in flexibility for them, but in hindsight perhaps
someone else should have filled that slot. A pure mage may have helped, similar
to Edwin.)
The only change I did in regards to the tweaks mod was to remove the XP cap; although
the XP cap would not be relevant here, I simply hate arbitrary XP caps (and, admittedly,
I also belong to the group of people who think the HLA abilities weren't a good idea,
both because they are too powerful and also because they don't quite fit into the DnD
world really).
Anyway. It took me a few tries, but I finally was able to defeat the enemy team in
the Improved Irenicus encounter.
I had to use the Wish spell once, to have the whole party rested. It would probably
be possible without Wish spell, but Wish simplified the fight a lot. (Once the
dragon is gone, the fight becomes a LOT easier in my opinion. Unfortunately in my
first attempts, trying to take down the dragon was not as easy because e. g. the
wraith king was annoying the weaker party members; and some of the summonable
enemy swords seemed to zone in on injured and weak party members. Once Viconia
was hurt, she could only keep on running away - the sword prevented her from e. g.
healing other party members. That was when I then had the idea to run into the
left part of the game map, to make a chokehold defence where the sword would
not be able to float in.)
I first ran to the left side and grouped my party there in that chokehold position. Then
I whacked down the wraith knight and his minions. The dragon came in; he was tough, but
after lowering his resistance sufficiently, he succumbed; Time Stop also helped here,
as Edwin could sneak in several advanced breaches. Past that point the fight became
significantly easier, as mentioned - the two beholders died quickly after the lich was
dispatched. Then Irenicus was killed. (The lich appears to stay where he is initially,
or move only slowly, so he is less of a problem compared to the dragon, who moves
very quickly.)
Now here it becomes a bit annoying. Irenicus comes back via his fragments and talks
smack. To be honest, I dislike the dialogue there; it does not really fit. Anyway,
fragmented Irenicus was also dispatched, but then I hit a bug: Irenicus would refuse
to die now. Right now as I type this, Irenicus is standing still, his flame aura is also
gone and he gets +20 damage per party member (kind of) per round, and skeleton warriors
also whack him down. Nothing happens, he refuses to die. So now I am stuck in an
infinite loop as Irenicus has become immortal.
I actually believe that this specific bug (infinite loop) is not the fault of Tactics
Remix, because I had this bug before, and I am quite sure that this bug also came when
Tactics Remix was NOT installed. Either way that was my end fight now, as I can not
resume the storyline.
Reallife occupies me for now, so I can not do any other run for several months (I
knew this beforehand already), so I will probably be inactive for several months.
I still would consider changing this fight, though. For one, I think it is too
difficult overall, even though I now know how to prevail. The bug in regards to
Immortal Irenicus is annoying, though - probably not the fault of TR, but this
is a general problem of key fights that specify one distinct outcome (death of
Irenicus), but then run into some side effect or secondary bug that prevent
continuation of the story. The issue here is that many other fights are mostly
optional, e. g. Kangaxx does not have to be killed, so you can ignore Kangaxx -
ut for the storyline, one has to kill Irenicus, and if the bug hits again, then
one can not progress. And then it is not easy to find out who is responsible for
a bug.
Having said that, I would probably do a few changes:
1) IF Irenicus is to be fragmented, then I would make this, and only this as
the key objective and key event. E. g. make the fight about his fragments.
All the other summonables won't show up in this particular fight.
2) Extending on 1), the other enemies could show up elsewhere. For instance,
wraiths + wraith king could help Irenicus when he is trying to destroy the
tree of life; that would also be easier to reason about, e. g. Irenicus got
in help from his wraith king ally here after raiding the elven city. The
dragon that he now has, though, I would probably not put in at all. The rest
isn't as bad (beholder, lich), so it's mostly the dragon that is more annoying.
Or the dragon can be put to where the other new dragons appear, e. g. that
dragonteeth pass; or another area to the west of it, including a cave with
more dragons.
Right now everything seems to be stacked on top in regard to this mod:
- Irenicus gets his summons in.
- If you defeat him and his summons, you are forced into a 1:1, for no logical
reason at all (I also disliked that a lot).
- Then you have to defeat the fragments too.
It just seems to stack too much together, which is quite distinct to most
of the other modifications that Tactics Remix features.
I should also say that while Crucible was quite difficult, it actually was
significantly less annoying than that Improved Irenicus part of Tactics Remix,
even with multiple planetars or demon knights with mirror images.
@shevy123456 , I am not going to make the difficulty easier.
What version of the mod are you using and can you provide your weidu log? What other creatures did you experience the bug with where it would lock up a cutscene?
What creature is not spawning in the bridge district? Regarding the lich in the docks, that could either be an install order issue or timing issue.
Big updates coming down the pipeline for Tactics Remix. For those on my discord, this is probably old news, but for those who are not aware Tactics Remix is going to become a more difficult alternative to other difficulty mods that are currently available. Tactics Remix will touch all aspects and fights for the Baldur's Gate series for those players who want a more difficult challenge than other like mods. In addition to providing a more difficult/challenging experience, the mod will also install much faster. Tactics Remix can be installed within minutes, not the multiple hours long install of other difficulty mods.
Components listed on my site are either complete and ready for testing or are partially complete (majority are complete). I am still a few months away and the initial release will be in Alpha. https://www.morpheus-mart.com/tactics-remix

Could you please provide a way for Chinese translators to offer you translations in Chinese?
Also, I should mention that due to certain factors, dropbox.com is inaccessible to the vast majority of Chinese visitors.

The best bet is probably to reach out to me directly on either discord via pm or in my discord channel.
Regarding dropbox. I agree it is not the most ideal solution, but it is the best solution I've found for reducing/removing unauthorized versions of my work floating around. It makes it easier for DMCA requests to pull unauthorized content down and to prevent unauthorized distribution (e.g., ee mod setup tool and bws-fr).
Comments
2) I saw inside the readme that you seem to be making something concerning dragons - weren't you satisfied enough by SCS dragon, to consider such a component ?
I haven't been in Tactics Remix in a hot minute, but most encounters should add an item or two per drop. Enemies do have some unstealable and undropable rare items as it's easier to assign the item to provide the stat/bonus than edit the character sheet.
I was not satisfied with SCS dragons, or those offered by other mods, and view them as pushovers that can be killed in one or two rounds. To paraphrase Wes, "This is dungeons and dragons, not dungeons and demiliches".
Mod just becomes better and better with every update.
Sorry but I disagree. Scs handle trolls in a very different way and so it is quite subjective to determine witch one is better.
Tactics trolls component was very interesting about making trolls challenging (+40% damage resistance iirc) and without micromanage a lot (no need fire or acid to kill trolls)
I am currently going through my mod installation list, e. g. adding some mods I have not played yet,
such as Call of the lost goddess. During this process I also check on all mods and the websites etc..
for any changes, and so forth.
In a local bookmark I have kept Tactics Remix here (the remote URL that is):
https://github.com/Gibberlings3/Tactics-Remix
But this appears to be unavailable now. It also seems as if gibberlings has been doing quite some changes
recently (no clue about any of this yet, been a few months or so sine I last checked it) at
https://github.com/orgs/Gibberlings3/repositories?type=all. I had a look at the gibberlings
website for news, but did not see any news, so I am not sure what is happening (if
anything is happening; I haven't yet caught up with any news here).
https://www.morpheus-mart.com/tactics-remix
both sides, but I'll skip it as said), Tactics, as well as Tactics remix, had
some interesting concepts. The mod was not extremely well-balanced (I refer to
the original one; the extension shared this problem to some extent), but some
of the encounters were interesting and/or challenging.
I felt that the mod could be split up into either several components and/or
quests. For instance, the bounty hunter component could be more a quest-line,
so we could have similar villains as Kuroisan or that gnome guy hunting the
vanilla ... Valgyar or what the name of the ranger was who was hiding. That
could be a series of, say, six encounters with bounty hunters. Two would
already exist, more or less; so a few more would have to be added (or, if
that is too much work, three encounters, last one could then be a party or
so, from which Kuroisan and the gnome illusionist split up prior). And
yes, that is mostly hypothetical, as any change requires time investment
from people, which is a finite resource. But, who knows, perhaps someone
takes some input and ideas, because I think it is also kind of sad that
Tactics are completely gone, even with issues that they may or may not have
had.
The other components could also perhaps be modified a little bit. One theme
is that undead theme, e. g. vampire lich, or the extra guardian liches for
Kangaxx. And yes, the placement is a bit odd (look how the Dusk NPC mod
actually solved that, they added a new area, which is a GREAT way to
handle this, in my opinion, at the least better than spawning in a location
and closing down the exit/entrance). So that component could perhaps be
integrated into something like "the lich tome" or so. Perhaps even tied
to the lichdom mod (and then made a separate component, so perhaps two
mods).
Some other components may be integrated into other mods, e. g. the tweaks
mod could perhaps add the "improved rune" or so, for the fight where you
get that staff of the magi that turns the wielder invisible.
The component with the two rituals ... well, the ritual where the party
gets that dream scene, could also be integrated into a bounty hunter
mod. And actually perhaps having a bounty hunter mod in total, with a
new kit: bounty hunter (how creative
The other ritual ... it's a bit like a final fight, due to the big
boss there. Not sure how to retain this easily. Perhaps similar to
the lichdom mod, there could be a dragon mod, which would then take
up this component.
I think I forgot a few, such as the changed AI for the ... merfolk
thingies, and a few other changes. Perhaps the tweaks could also
incorporate this.
And perhaps not all at once, but in a step-wise fashion.
There is actually a precedent for integrating good ideas - the
old stronghold mod, for instance, is integrated for the most part
into another mod. I forgot the name right now, but due to that
other mod I no longer install the old stronghold mod (also because
I ran into bugs, although the bugs may have had to do with weidu's
re-install feature; either way I am using the other stronghold
mod now. I think it was from tweaks or something.)
It would be a shame to put the Tactics idea completely to rest,
because despite issues, I think the idea of challenging fights
was good one for older players (not so much for new players; for
new players I'd e. g. recommend Lava's mods, since they are in
general much better designed. On reddit, Tactics is often
compared to SCS, so perhaps these mods are more for "advanced"
players as primary target audience. I do not have much experience
with regard to SCS, so I can not really comment).
Anyway, TL;DR: Perhaps some heroes will rescue the Tactics
mod, or, if that is too much work, perhaps rescue a few of the
ideas it had presented.
I'm still in chapter 2 so I'm sure there will still be a lot of bad surprises coming up
Thank you for all your work Morpheus.

Tactics Remix, at the time of this post, does not alter Planetars or their scripts. I am solely summoning in the existing Dark Planetar file.
possible to win in the Improved Irenicus encounter (or whatever the name is; the one
where a dragon is close to Irenicus, some strange floating swords, two beholders,
one lich, several shadows and three wraiths next to some wraith king or something;
and of course Irenicus).
Before I describe that group briefly, let me add that I was able to workaround
the other issue in regards to the Bridge's Block, where one NPC does not show up;
I tested it and installed Tactics Remix, BEFORE I then installed Bridge's Block,
and the NPC did show up. So, installation order alone can workaround the issue
of the NPC not appearing. (Oddly enough, there was no vampire lich in the warehouse,
even though I installed all enemies of the Tactics Remix mod; not sure why, perhaps
due to the Back to Brynnlaw mod, so maybe I should have changed the installation
order there as well. I noticed that only in Chapter 6, so I did not peek inside
to check whether the vampire lich would show up. Should have done so before Chapter
6. Anyway.)
My main character in this party was at level 34 at the time of the encounter with
Improved Ireniucs. The other party members were Viconia, Edward, Dwaradime (rather
than Jan), Dusk and Korgan, at around the same XP level. (I should also say that
while Dwaradime is stronger than Jan, multi-class characters seem to be significantly
weaker. Evidently one trades in flexibility for them, but in hindsight perhaps
someone else should have filled that slot. A pure mage may have helped, similar
to Edwin.)
The only change I did in regards to the tweaks mod was to remove the XP cap; although
the XP cap would not be relevant here, I simply hate arbitrary XP caps (and, admittedly,
I also belong to the group of people who think the HLA abilities weren't a good idea,
both because they are too powerful and also because they don't quite fit into the DnD
world really).
Anyway. It took me a few tries, but I finally was able to defeat the enemy team in
the Improved Irenicus encounter.
I had to use the Wish spell once, to have the whole party rested. It would probably
be possible without Wish spell, but Wish simplified the fight a lot. (Once the
dragon is gone, the fight becomes a LOT easier in my opinion. Unfortunately in my
first attempts, trying to take down the dragon was not as easy because e. g. the
wraith king was annoying the weaker party members; and some of the summonable
enemy swords seemed to zone in on injured and weak party members. Once Viconia
was hurt, she could only keep on running away - the sword prevented her from e. g.
healing other party members. That was when I then had the idea to run into the
left part of the game map, to make a chokehold defence where the sword would
not be able to float in.)
I first ran to the left side and grouped my party there in that chokehold position. Then
I whacked down the wraith knight and his minions. The dragon came in; he was tough, but
after lowering his resistance sufficiently, he succumbed; Time Stop also helped here,
as Edwin could sneak in several advanced breaches. Past that point the fight became
significantly easier, as mentioned - the two beholders died quickly after the lich was
dispatched. Then Irenicus was killed. (The lich appears to stay where he is initially,
or move only slowly, so he is less of a problem compared to the dragon, who moves
very quickly.)
Now here it becomes a bit annoying. Irenicus comes back via his fragments and talks
smack. To be honest, I dislike the dialogue there; it does not really fit. Anyway,
fragmented Irenicus was also dispatched, but then I hit a bug: Irenicus would refuse
to die now. Right now as I type this, Irenicus is standing still, his flame aura is also
gone and he gets +20 damage per party member (kind of) per round, and skeleton warriors
also whack him down. Nothing happens, he refuses to die. So now I am stuck in an
infinite loop as Irenicus has become immortal.
I actually believe that this specific bug (infinite loop) is not the fault of Tactics
Remix, because I had this bug before, and I am quite sure that this bug also came when
Tactics Remix was NOT installed. Either way that was my end fight now, as I can not
resume the storyline.
Reallife occupies me for now, so I can not do any other run for several months (I
knew this beforehand already), so I will probably be inactive for several months.
I still would consider changing this fight, though. For one, I think it is too
difficult overall, even though I now know how to prevail. The bug in regards to
Immortal Irenicus is annoying, though - probably not the fault of TR, but this
is a general problem of key fights that specify one distinct outcome (death of
Irenicus), but then run into some side effect or secondary bug that prevent
continuation of the story. The issue here is that many other fights are mostly
optional, e. g. Kangaxx does not have to be killed, so you can ignore Kangaxx -
ut for the storyline, one has to kill Irenicus, and if the bug hits again, then
one can not progress. And then it is not easy to find out who is responsible for
a bug.
Having said that, I would probably do a few changes:
1) IF Irenicus is to be fragmented, then I would make this, and only this as
the key objective and key event. E. g. make the fight about his fragments.
All the other summonables won't show up in this particular fight.
2) Extending on 1), the other enemies could show up elsewhere. For instance,
wraiths + wraith king could help Irenicus when he is trying to destroy the
tree of life; that would also be easier to reason about, e. g. Irenicus got
in help from his wraith king ally here after raiding the elven city. The
dragon that he now has, though, I would probably not put in at all. The rest
isn't as bad (beholder, lich), so it's mostly the dragon that is more annoying.
Or the dragon can be put to where the other new dragons appear, e. g. that
dragonteeth pass; or another area to the west of it, including a cave with
more dragons.
Right now everything seems to be stacked on top in regard to this mod:
- Irenicus gets his summons in.
- If you defeat him and his summons, you are forced into a 1:1, for no logical
reason at all (I also disliked that a lot).
- Then you have to defeat the fragments too.
It just seems to stack too much together, which is quite distinct to most
of the other modifications that Tactics Remix features.
I should also say that while Crucible was quite difficult, it actually was
significantly less annoying than that Improved Irenicus part of Tactics Remix,
even with multiple planetars or demon knights with mirror images.
Anyway, see you folks in a few months.
What version of the mod are you using and can you provide your weidu log? What other creatures did you experience the bug with where it would lock up a cutscene?
What creature is not spawning in the bridge district? Regarding the lich in the docks, that could either be an install order issue or timing issue.
Components listed on my site are either complete and ready for testing or are partially complete (majority are complete). I am still a few months away and the initial release will be in Alpha.

Could you please provide a way for Chinese translators to offer you translations in Chinese?
Also, I should mention that due to certain factors, dropbox.com is inaccessible to the vast majority of Chinese visitors.
The best bet is probably to reach out to me directly on either discord via pm or in my discord channel.
Regarding dropbox. I agree it is not the most ideal solution, but it is the best solution I've found for reducing/removing unauthorized versions of my work floating around. It makes it easier for DMCA requests to pull unauthorized content down and to prevent unauthorized distribution (e.g., ee mod setup tool and bws-fr).
