If you people would like a portal in GodSpire linking to your server let me know and we can arrange to build one in the Hall of Portals.

Thank you for the offer.

But the IP of our server is changing often, we could use a dynamic dns maybe.
Gwyd is the host, i'll talk to him in that case.

You would be able to change the IP of the portal by talking to an NPC in GodSpire.

The IP changes at least once per day and more, that would be too much work.

Oh come on do you think I read all articles in every forum there is???
I am not much active here on LM since we have our own Ante-forum.
By the way LM is still causinf troubles with my IE. sometimes I just can't reach this site. I use arivs or our own ante-forum much more often.
You guys were talking about this some days ago and if I wouldn't have asked today I still wouldn't know.
But I am still not sure about this portal idea. It would only make sense if there was the same portal in our ante-mod too and I don't have any clue how to script such a thing. And may be it would mean we would get more visitors in our mod but on some days there are already more than 15 players on and my comp can't host more than a max of 20 players or else it gets too laggy...
we'll see...

Those portals need another location or no one will ever use them.
Why don't you place them anywhere near the main fighting arena?
Oh and please do something about these monsters in the dungeon. They are so hard to hit it's no fun at all to go into that dungeon :(

what kind of pc you use cuz well I hosted a server on my pc and I had up to 30 people on my pc and didn't experience any lag on it nor did the people on server.
I use a 2.8Ghz AMD athlon

internet connection is: 255KB/sec (average)

Look Razor idc about the specifics of your Computer because it doesn't change anything on mine. It's just the way it is and I can live with that!
Btw, there won't be any hardware change on it too so it doesn't matter if I give you any details.

Anheg, I don't know how old you are or what else you've got to do...idc either! I just don't have the time to browse them all or to reply so that's why to me only our own forum is important because only that has REALLY smt to do with us/me!!! Thank you!

Point is to gather a group together to go into the dungeon.

I wonder how often DnD is played by one dude and a DM ;)

You don't have to have a portal back to GodSpire, but if you do make one this is what you should use to portal people to GodSpire. (WP_TAG should be replaced with the tag of the portal Mo creates on GodSpire)

Code: [Select]
void main()
{
ActivatePortal(GetPCSpeaker(), "24.202.38.96:5121", "", "WP_TAG", TRUE);
}
This is called from a conversation, if you want to put it in the OnUsed area of the portal placeable change GetPCSpeaker to GetLastUsedBy

It would be strange if there were no portals in the "Hall of Portals" wouldn't it?

Think of it as an IQ test, if players can't figure out where the portal to your server is, you probably don't want them on your server anyway. Sort of like Smith Hold, if you can't find the main entrance to the city, then maybe it isn't the right mod for you.

Since most of the GodSpire Monsters are slightly modified versions of my GodSpire duelers, they will kick your ass if you are alone. The original intention was to make creatures that were challenging to parties of GodSpire duelers.

If the portals where somewhere else than in the hall of portals you wouldn't need any hall! LOL
Hmmm, I wonder what the IQ of an average GodSpire player is????
If I see all those noobs and other kiddos it can't be that high and that would mean that nearly no one will ever find this portals. So what is the use of them if nobody uses them????

Sorry, I tend to slip in a little nonsense among my relevant points.

Godspire city is relativly new, as time goes by and more features/areas are added it will become more used and generally more populated with players. It is quite easy to reach the city and I have met quite a few 1st time GodSpire players on my server that logged on the GodSpire, talked to the NPCs on the docks, went straight to the city, entered the Hall of Portals first thing (it being the very first building you encounter, not to mention the bright glowing sign) and came by my server for a lengthy visit.

The ultimate dream would be to link all NWN servers together in a World Wide Web pattern where the more popular, powerful and persistant servers hosted portals to both smaller servers and other popular servers.

Some servers have hosted a single world on multiple servers, each server being a specific region. Of course, this dream of linking all NWN servers will probably not happen until all the "Bug Fixx"s of the world lose interest in NWN.

Hmm I guess I used a wrong word. I have a living room, a bedroom (where my comp and my bed is) a bath-room and a kitchen.
But I don't want my comp to be in the living room so the only place for it is in my sleeping room ;)

Indeed my time is very prescious  :P
Mo, there is no reason to get mad or something  <_<
If we have a way of increasing the max capacity of players on our mod without any lag then it will be a funny idea.
But at the moment it's fine the way it is.
