What
WHat's that?
Mercy:
It's how people download the mod data so they can log in to the server. You can't just log right in like in nwn 1.

How does it work? Plugin for NWN2?
Mercy:
I'm not completely sure how it would work server side.

- connecting worlds & players -
Overview
All persistant worlds for nwn2 share the same problem: at least one file - the *.pwc - has to be transfered to the players' pc before anyone can login and join a multiplayer module. Most pw teams will want to add custom content as well, like clothing and placeables, custom soundsets, ingame music or even movies.
All files have to be stored in the right place and must be updated at all players' pc's whenever the builders change them.
And some of these files are considerably large, especially all erf-types (*.mod, *.pwc, *.hak, *.erf), downloads for an average pw can easily sum up to more than one gb total! This makes it painfull - if not impossible - to update files regularly, and thus stops builders from changing their worlds dynamically, e.g. in reaction to some ingame events.
WorldGate was designed to help pw builders create and maintain a download-system for all files related to their pw, and to help players download and update these files as easily and as fast as possible - typically with one click.
Features
can update resources within erf-files (this includes *.erf, *.mod, *.pwc and *.hak), thus transferring only changed parts - especially worthy for updating pwc!
players client is setup by simply entering your pw's homepage url
uses famous 7-zip compression to minimize download time and traffic.
designed to work with any web- or ftp-server.
designed to store multiple pw's.

But, for players you enter in the web address of the server. Then you follow the servers directions and then proceed with the download. It's a nice program and it makes the multi-player aspect of nwn2 way easier and less of a hassle.

You can also post the .pwc file to NWVault. That's where I put the one for my server before I gave up on NWN2.
