Thanks for the replies so far.
Dropping support - not going to happen. Can't happen. There are many, many mods that use Cobl without an OBSE requirement, so we can't require it now.
'Forget the non-OBSE peoples' - not going to happen. This is what's commonly known as a bad polling sample
Look at the names that have replied.... you guys are the ones who respond the most in the more advanced threads (OBSE, Bash, creating your own OBSE plugins and massive integrated mods). So, of course you're big OBSE fans (and I am too, and will refuse to make non-OBSE/non-Pluggy versions of my own mods). But the current version of Cobl has had 23,140 downloads in the past 6 months (ouch, has it really been that long) and I need to worry about those un-vocal fans and users too.
On work load of 2 mods - the amount doesn't bother me. Actually, it's been a bit hard to write activator functions and scripts that accommodate both. And there have been many places where I'd like to update from OBSE v13 functions to the more recent ones.
The things that concern me are errors:
- Would make it possible for modder to load up the wrong Cobl. However, I don't believe they'd get very far before realizing something is wrong.
- It would be simple for me to copy things over to the vanilla version or to the OBSE version. But it's another chance to forget something.
Ultimately, I've been thinking about splitting them for a while now and this seems to require it anyway. However, it's a major decision and one I want out in the public - especially if there are work-arounds that would make everyone happy
I'm sorry, I don't understand what your query, question or comment about Item Interchange is...?
I believe the poster was just pointing out an available Frostcrag mod. The text just happened to be from II.
