Humans and Elves will be finished today, sorry for the wait folks
a known issue is that I've given them all equipment from the stock palette, this is how I will be uploading them. The humans look fine that way in my opinion but some of the elves, and especially the drow look a little.. off.. in the stock gear. In any case they can be altered with alfa basemod armors when the time is right.
another issue is that as of 1.04 alot of helmets appear as hats, so if theres some fighters with odd hats, thats the cause. I believe this is a known issue and should eb fixed in the next patch, so I left the helmets on a number of them.
Just finishing the female elves as we speak and it will be uploaded before the end of the day EST,

Uploaded 151 humans and elves, I've gone over them twice but there may be some minor inconsistencies here or there in skillpoints or the like, nothing too troublesome.
If there are significant problems with them let me know and I'll do what I can.

Just a note to all those concerned that an ABR creature release is right around the corner. Darren and Souvarine have been hard at work getting blueprints prepped. I've done some preliminary reviews on some of the work, and my compliments to the both of you. Outside of a few minor errors, it really looks terrifically consistent.
I'll also be providing a new XML GUI for the DM creator to facilitate spawning the ABR critters and examining their character sheets on the fly. In game, creatures won't have any floating text above their heads, and having actually seen this in game, I believe it really adds a level of immersion we have not had before. Some other nifty little goodies to come along this same vein as well.
Anyway, I know some of you are eagerly awaiting this release and I haven't said much in the past couple of weeks. We're almost there so thanks for being patient.

Ok quick update. I've gone through and reviewed/fixed all blueprints where I felt it was necessary. That part is thankfully complete. If not for a botched upload on my part, I'd release the files. Unfortunately, uploads to sourceforge only purge once every 24 hours and uploaded files cannot be overwritten, so I cannot fix the mistake until that window of time expires. Expect a release within the next 24 hours. My apologies for the unnecessary delay.
What I'm trying to sort out in the mean time is the GUI (for DMing). I ran into an unexpected snag and am trying to figure out the best way to resolve it.

Ok critters are now up on the project download page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=160451
I've elected to stuff them into the v1.0 ABR release as I see little point in re-releasing the existing content. The release notes have been updated to account for the additions.
I've also included some GUI changes in a User Interface package, which includes the XML and respective scripts (what's functional so far anyway), that primarily supplements the critters release. The release notes highlight the changes.
If you have any questions or experience any problems, please let me know.
