[NWN] Morrus, I have serious problem with one of my Characters on the server... Help!

[Morrus]

OK, I'll switch off the ILR for a day or so in the hope that people can use that window to fix things.

Regarding the module in general - it has some problems, and they're also making it really hard for me to add content (due to module-wide custom scripts regarding respawning and other things). I've gotten pretty bogged down in an attempt to add content for higher level folks, and I'm not sure I'm clever enough to dig myself out.

Hmmm... dunno. I do really like the module, and people seem to be having a lot of fun with it. Maybe it would be worth checking out some other modules out there instead?

Well, that would be a good idea. But are we talking about ditching ascension and picking another one? 'Cause if that's the case, then there would likely be problems with swtiching characters over, what with the Ascension-specific magic items, and suchlike.

Ascension is good and all that, but I think it may be a good idea to pick a new module to go with. I have no idea what other ones are out there, but I'd like to see one where there's a City under seige or something like that, and there are adventurers showing up to help defend the city, do covert ops, etc. 'Cause it would be just so incredibly awesome to see all the characters charge out the front gate and take on an army. I'm not talking HoTU-style where there are several small waves, but a big mass of evil-doers who require kicking of the butt. Just my preference, but I'm open to just about anything.

Thanks for letting us have the cahnce to get out characters back Morrus. Good on you

Also thanks for the effort you are putting in to improve things.. I have only limited knowledge at making/modify modules.. although I have dm'ed several times for friends online. As far as trying a new mod... any chance of we could carry over the chars we have now? Ah, didnt think so haha


This module is fun and im having a blast playing it (other than the light spell causing such problems with items...). Met some realy nice folks, that I wouldnt have otherwise. Again, Good on you.

Anyway I dont mind this mod, as long as the item problem goes away. Thanks again for the help my friend.

Peace

If may be so bold, I like Ascenscion, and would like to continue playing it...ut since the spawning is strange, I can't get the pieces for the staff I need to continue.

Also, it would be really cool to have a minable source of mithril somewhere (Nether Caves or something).

Morrus, thank you for the time and effort and resources! I've had a very good time here!

I have also have fun playing PoA.
It took some time to adjust at first, but now I'm loving it (despite moments of frustrations! )

It seems like the PCs that are the closest to getting the crown have all made new PCs (in some cases, more than 2 actually). Should we consider that once you have obtained the crown, your PC should retire? In that case, there would be no need for new areas... But I know that we all get attached to our characters, having played them for so long and having gone through incredibly tough expeditions!

I like Angcuru's idea (still haven't played HotU though, can't compare).
But is there any other PW mod out there that is offered for public download?...

Morrus, I wish i could help with scripting, but i have no clue as to how it works... I appreciate all your efforts even more. Thanks for everything!!!

PoA Module

Hmmm... dunno. I do really like the module, and people seem to be having a lot of fun with it. Maybe it would be worth checking out some other modules out there instead?

Personally, I'm really enjoying PoA, despite some of the modules script problems. And I have a copy of CEP just waiting to be unwrapped, should it ever be needed.

But in all fairness, never in all my time on the internet have I come across such a large number of terrific people, and while it would be hard to start all over, I'd do it to stay with them. I really mean that.

BTW, Those of you have have subcribed to this here message board can now PM me, as I subscribed today.

And Morrus, that donation offer is *no-strings-attached* and still open If I had the time to offer scripting support, I would, but being IT Director of a start-up Real Estate firm can sometimes take me around the US, and keep me up late working.

I too am really enjoying this module, despite some of the the quirks.

Morrus: I was able to use my PC now that you shut off the item/level thing, but it did indeed drain me to first level. Any chance you could grant me some levels as a DM?

Thanks for all the effort on this!

 

[Angcuru]

Well, if we can't find a module to suit our tastes, why not make one of our own?

I have some experience using to toolset. I was working on converting the Quest for Glory CRPG series to NWN, but lack of any scripting skill halted that effort almost immediately. For anyone who played that, I got as far as building up the eastern half of Spielburg, just reaching the town gates. That's when I realized "Holy Bejeezuz! I can't script at all!"

So if we decide to make out own mod, I could help out with designing and creating areas, creatures, items, etc. but that's about it.

I actually think this may be the right way to go. This say we could set it up so that DMs and designers can make situations and areas for characters of all levels. I.E. if we were to do the city under siege idea, we could have missions for the low-level characters to help defend the city, and the higher-level characters could actually go out and start doing offensive operations, assassination missions, or the like. And once the enemy forces are defeated, we'll have created a big, wide are to play around with.

Oh, crap.

I can, but I hope I won't be doing this for everyone. It'll soon make a mess of things.

I think I'm going to upload another - simultaneous - persistent world. There's one called Nordock, which is a lot bigger than PoA and if pretty popular. If people create a new character and give it a try, we'll see what we want to do long term (hold a vote, maybe).

Is the crafting system going to be in place?

I love the concept of the crafting system (although I wish the enchanting part was rehauled).
