What happened to post-7.03 IBFD? And what is to be installed to play now?

**FFJean** · June 04, 2008, 03:10 AM

Dear all,
Just to say I started to play IBFD a year ago with IBFD 7.05 (IIRC). However, this version was deemed unstable (and was indeed) and was supposed to be replaced by a new 7.1 version (again, IIRC).
There was just one mod, with subvariants at the time.
As I come back (with a new computer) to play again IBFD, which is a great mod, I have the impression that no progress has been made to any new variant, and that the latest variant is in fact 7.03 from 18 months ago? Is the mod dead at 7.03? Which is the latest version? I see there are different mods now, which is the latest IBFD?
Thank you very much for spending time answering me, and sorry if this question may look aggressive, it is much more sadness to see that apparently nothing has moved (and so, it must be dead!).
Yours sincerely,
Jean

And sorry, what are the submods/fixes that should be installed?
Thanks,
Jean

I believe 7.03 is the current version. Install that and the patches and you're up to date. I also recommend Ihatemonday's soundmod (which adds alot more than just sounds), and the standalone submods.

I believe they are working on other projects at the moment like IJ and Restitutor Orbis.

Dear all,
Thank you for the answers. But I still do not understand which version is the most "new"? Is it IBFD? Or is it RESTITVTOR ORBIS, SOMNIUM APOSTATAE JULIANI, RUINA ROMAE, FLAGELLUM DEI or RESTITUTIO IUSTINIANI? I am rather lost. Same for the patches, I don't know which should be applied? Is there somewhere (I mean, a specific thread eg) that would cover all?
Sorry again, but I just did not follow this for a year, and it is as if nothing had changed (version wise) whilst everything had change names.
Thanks in advance,
Jean

IBFD is the entire project and all of it's submods. There should be installation instructions in each of the subforums.

Sorry, but I don't know which version is th latest (ie, which subforum should I go to?)

**icydawgfish** · June 04, 2008, 06:52 PM

I would suggest starting with the original, Ruinae Romae.

Thank you very much. I will go to the Ruinae Romae subforum and try to understand which version / variant is needed to play this variant! I am just surprised that it is so difficult to understand.
Thanks again,
Jean
