I'm still working on getting the card game mini-module together. I dug up some more bugs yesterday. The funniest was casting Dispel Magic and the enemy's avatar lost his paralyze effect and began running away from all my creatures. I worked a bit more on balance as well, polishing up the issues I could find.

As for the main module itself, I finally got a chance to work on it some more. I have the Radiant Way in the game, including the link to the first of the Struggles. I still need to test it out more fully, but hopefully it will go smoothtly.

I've also been doing tests with texture compression using the DDS format. It makes a huge difference, reducing sizes by over 50% in many cases. I may have to offer a TGA-only download for the very small percent whose cards don't support it, but I think it's a minority of folks. Hak pack size is one of those things I worry about off and on, but hopefully I can get it down to the bare minimum without making compromises.
