Title: GodSpire In the making
Post by: Xen on November 26, 2006, 06:53:07 AM: Ok so in my attempts to learn the tool set briefly I whipped up what has turned out to be an obsession. This is the Alpha images of my Version of GodSpire.

It is identicle to the origional (Docks, Halls, Doriath, Angband)
On the dock(Little bare at the moment):

Throbble had the docks working about a week after NWN2 was released. The default settings for the dock blueprint should work, just slap the sucker down and bake the area.

Post by: Xen on November 26, 2006, 02:25:25 PM: Set a walkable path and THEN bake. Baking will "Bake" in the changes to the walkable mesh data. If you have set an area that has a placable above it that will be taken into acount during the baking process.

Its pretty strieght forward. This didnt take more than 5 minutes to learn and get this far, I realy should have earlyer because it is proving to be much more fun than NWN1 (That rymed?)

I have made some other area's one of which, well, actualy many of which will bring a tear to your eye... Sigh...

I'm upgrading my office pc with a pci-express motherboard. I already have an ATI X850 XT waiting for it to arrive. After the upgrade I should be able to play finally :D

I just couldn't wait until the new year for a new pc.

You and me both.

I'm currently working on a new area for the Tavern of Doors and I'll post some screenshots of it later today, you'll be able to walk all over it! It should be ready just in time for the 1.03 patch.

Try logging into a single player mod and uneqip all your items then save character. Log into Throbbleserv with the unequipped items and see which ones are red. Use the Widget on the red ones to get a total item value.

Remember that items properties are more expensive on some items, like rings. So while you may be able to fit +10 dex on a belt and have it be below level 20, you may not be able to put +10 dex on a ring and have it remain under level 20.

Very annoying, but that's how it worked in NWN too, just less obvious with epic level items.

Post by: Xen on November 27, 2006, 11:33:43 PM: Never had a problem with him in that respect, I will script a Dual Detection into his heartbeat to counteract that.

420, I need your help man, if you can I will need a temp gate script. Just a filter. Nothing fancy. Cosmetics and the slate scripting is taking up some time. Took me a while to remember how to make the dual manager but its there now : p.

Post by: bus driver on November 28, 2006, 02:14:12 AM: Two things very wrong with this

1. Lord of the Rings theme.
2. Its a remake of a now very old and dull mod from a different game

Godspire needs change.

Nice screens though : )
Title: GodSpire In the making
Post by: Xen on November 28, 2006, 02:19:42 AM: No Lotr theme realy, I just kep the old layout, however it will be a far different experiance when you see it in game.

Post by: Soul Sojourner on November 28, 2006, 03:32:03 AM: Awesome, sounds like it's going well.

But for the Duel Manager's sake, and for the sake of good spelling, duel is spelled with an e.

Man I spent a lot of time on that Library!
Worked well too. Just needed a Librarian to make sure it didn't get all cluttered up with garbage.

It can easily be translated to NWN2, seeing as Obsidian just added the file-db support back into the game.

it did, it was just dead. back when it was formed when i was there, spring time a few years ago was a ressurection. Thomas headed the old old doriath.

Post by: Mercy on December 01, 2006, 12:13:44 AM: Well JeK really started it back with Talon's permission...if he changed his name to Thomas...The old Thomas came back shortly after for a brief period. And Angband was marauders territory and then became D.A.s or D.Es...whatever. But it should stay Marauders territory in my opinion. The house of bears was cool, but didnt really suit marauders.

And oh-boy did JeK hate using the name Thomas. He told me on my occations that the DMs forced him to.

About the House of the Bear, I agree. It was way to warm and cozy of a bar to be your clanhall. You need a pirate, not a bear, as your bartender and all those random lightbeams in the throneroom were pointless.

Post by: bus driver on December 01, 2006, 02:17:39 AM: Angband before the Marauders belonged to CM (Crimson Malefaction) and dident Thomas and Rawor(SP) lead Doriath at first? Ahhh well its not really important anybody who was ever in Doraith is not important : D

BBDC and Marauders rule!

Back on topic..
We dont need clan area's yet and its just more time wasted that GS isent online.. hell we dont even know if it will be popular or even have a stable playbase yet.

Edit:Orrr better yet chuck em all away and make a whole new mod from scratch

Unless the complete 1.3 patch fixes it, if it is indeed broken. If I could get placables walkable I would be a happy camper.

Lucky Atari isn't publishing GS2 or we may see it some time well before that! Also, let's all please not get confused over the following: Talon has said he is making GS for NWN2. If Xen is making one as well that would mean there are two competing GS's in the making. So what's going on?

Honestly, I'm not too concerned. I see Xen making something, and still see nothing from Talon. And I honestly think it doesn't matter who makes it, it's not like shit can't be changed, and it's not like Talon can't host it still if he wanted too. So whatever works.
Title: GodSpire In the making
Post by: 420 on December 11, 2006, 05:10:58 PM: In the past Xen has brought up his own version on GS when the main GS mod went down for an extended period for whatever reason. Usually this happened before Talon became the main host.

Always good to have a backup I say.

It has a well filterd arena with merchants, a duel manager and anti randoming scripts as well as nifty features such as coloured names. It has quite a few players as well. Not to sure about the item rules, 3 ac but 20 resist o.O but its quite fun. So if this can be produced now im sure nwn2 has a future.

Post by: Xen on November 26, 2008, 08:20:01 AM: I came back too it. Shock horror! Been farting around with a couple o versions of GS. The whole new system is realy fucking annoying.
Wish it was as easy as slapping down a placable and BAM you can walk on it. But apparently everyone wants to pass right threw solid objects. So thats default.

Anyway, whatever. I'm making a poll, so vote you little bastards!
