Nwn - 10/11/2003

Rev Hellfire

Gentlemen (and ladies),

As promised we'll be starting the NWN games again starting on monday at 8:45pm (gmt). I've picked a two part campaign from the hall of fame, so it should keep us going for a while.

As with all campaign we'll be starting with new characters which will be available only during these game.

I'll provide more details on the modules involved closer to the time. We'll also try and run this a bit more strictly with two hours alloted per game ( ie 8:45 to 10:45) at which point the server will be saved for the following week.

Module Requirements:
The current patch ( at this time 1.32 ),
The expansion pack Shadows of Undrentide.

quarryman

so i need to pick up Shadows of Urentide? dammit. where could i pick it up cheap?

gonna check play.com

might be late on monday. can you provide directions where to go?

elexes

play.com is out of stock atm ive ordered mine from then but they dont know when it will be in . if u find somwhere that its for sale pm me r somthn i need one also . dosnt look like ill be there monday if i cant get this .

Rev Hellfire

ok, To help those of you without SoA I'll use a non-SoA one to start with, but for the second module you will need it. That'll give you a few weeks in which to source it.

i found they have it in stock . £18.49 inc p&p

not being picky on the price but i got quoted £18.94. just wanted to check in case i done something wrong or picked a different method.


how much is in Game etc?

elexes

yep 94 i was wrong

FlashBang

if you got connections to the usa you can get games quite cheaply over there due to the weak US$. Just a heads-up. I'll try to be there but 23:45 again is a bit late for me

I'll see what I can do. If everything fails, I'll just see if I can find a german NWN-community.

cya in game or on the board

elexes

how dose nwn play over 56k ? my dsl is due in 2 days after and they disconnected my isdn yesterday

FlashBang

56k is more than enough for NWN.

... if you don't want to host a server, that is...

Rev Hellfire

A few things have popped up and I'll (as aways its seems) not be able to maek it tonight.

If people have no objections we can move the time back an hour to help Flashbang, so say 7:45pm

Also I'll need the name of someone who can guarantee they'll be there for the duration of the game. I have a special job for them.

Password and server address will be posted later.

As for the module

http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/modules/data/1046647254270.shtml

This is the non-soa version. Note the followup module requires the expansion.

have fun, I'll hopefully get to join in next week.

LoLth

Sorting out a connection. Hopefully I'll be bcak up by the end of the month.

Just one thing. Is that not a single player mod rev? Some events / teleports etc might cause trouble.

Rev Hellfire

yea, but its meant to be ok multiplayer.
Time will tell.

Nevyn

the link to down load the mod does not seem to be working,

I will be there this evening but not sure if i will have SOU by next week.

Rev Hellfire

I nominate you ring leader.

you dont need to download anything so dont worry about the link. ( I tried it just now and its fine )

I take it ppl have no objections to a 7:45 start then.

Nevyn

not at all i can just put the clock forward an hour and get the kids to be a lil earlier

Rev Hellfire

Server up (sorry about late)

server games2.iol.ie:5122

password: anothersecret

Nevyn

ah hah was just looking for that

elexes

bet ive missed it now

Nevyn

no you would not have my self and Marvel were on until 11pm but there was a alot of trouble trying to get anyone who joined late passed the intro as the item needed to get you into the city didnt respawn.

server was very laggy

in total I was there from 7:50, Marvel from
about 8:40 and flashband made a breif appearance as he was delayed.

quarryman

i'm still waiting on my pc. hopefully next week i can make. maybe bring another guy. are the numbers bad?

MarVeL

The more the merrier.

Don't know if it was the server or the module but performance was very bad last night. Admittedly the module does seem to need a lot of reloads but even so it was bordering on the unplayable. Anyone any experience with this module before? Previously this hasn't been a problem on the server

Rev Hellfire

It may have been the module. There was an updated version of it but it required SOA. I'll be about next monday so if its server related I'll be able to sort it out then.

Mantel

Would have made it on myself last night but video card and drivers decided to play silly buggers. No way was I going to play it in 640x480 and 256 colours

Anyway, SoU needed for next time?

Rev Hellfire

Depends on if you finished it or not.

Nevyn

nope didnt finish it got chewed up but rats a few times , going back into the swers with more then just me and Marvel would be fun cos then we can kill the lot of them.

FlashBang

next time we'll need another person who can DM thou. If necessary I can temporarily host a server and teach you the basics, thead.

Cause the problem is: I could teleport you two to the city, no prob. But I can't teleport myself over there as I can only be logged in as either player or DM. Thus, another DM is necessary to move me (as a player).

We currently got playing:
One fighter (marvel)
One rogue (thead)
One cleric (me)

What would be useful?
I guess a sorc/wiz... maybe another long-range fighter and another short-range fighter.

With even without those we got a pretty balanced team already.

so... next game is on the.... ?

Nevyn

next monday.....

It was that I could not get logged in as Gm my copy of NWN kept crashing when I tried.

FlashBang

why's that?

Try reinstalling or something. I never had probs with the DM-client by now. Maybe you or a module you installed accidently replaced a file needed for the DM-client but not the normal game-client?

*shrug*

Reinstallation is always the solution

elexes

i got sou today . when is this starting agian ? can i join a existing game . its installing atm . and ill update as going ill prob be a barbarian once im done . as i still aint got to grips with everything in game

Rev Hellfire

As you can imagine I've been somewhat busy this week. Normal NWN service will resume next week (please dont adjust your monitors).

MarVeL

So I didn't miss a session?!?

And here was me with a ready to use valid excuse about being laid up with a fever last night. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it next week as I'm on late

elexes

im guessing these extra things uve said to look up and download for each night are quests for that night ????

FlashBang

only thing you'll ever need to download for our gaming-sessions are .hak files. You don't need the modules as they are uploaded to the clients on demand (and only the necessary parts). A terrific feature I'd like to see combined with an action- and FPS-oriented engine btw. Preferrably without the area-restrictions.

...

hell, a "free" engine with that feature would make self-made mmorpgs possible. *drools*

That'd seriously rock!
