Two years in and Throbblefoot, Penryn (our cat) and I are still going strong. We bought a house in Monterey and are currently moving out of our apartment in San Francisco!

Still playing Fallout 76 every day. The Fallout franchise is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. Check it out here: https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/fallout25th
The game is free for Amazon Prime members! In addition, it's free to play for the month of October.

Also playing Saints Row, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Diablo Immortal, and Cyberpunk 2077.

Hope all is well with everyone.

NwN General / Problems Running NWN:EE
« on: May 08, 2020, 11:53:40 AM »
Here are a few changes I had to make to get NWN:EE to work properly on my PC:

Game is in Windowed Mode (WTF?!)
Open the file settings.tml in /Documents/Neverwinter Nights/ and find the entry [graphics.window] change the line under it from [graphics.window.windowed] to [graphics.window.fullscreen] (only the first line needs to be changed) and save it.


Toolset Crash When Loading Areas (nVidia Only)
Bring up the nVidia Control Panel by right clicking on the desktop and choose nwtoolset.exe from the Program Settings tab. (You may have to add the file manually if it doesn't appear on the drop down list.) Scroll down to Threaded Optimization and set it to "off".

Can't Join Server (UDP Error)
Still looking for my old information on port forwarding. Seems I'm having some trouble getting onto ThrobbleServ when running it on my laptop. I got it up and running at home so the information is floating around somewhere.

Throbble and I are out of town for a couple weeks and I'm trying to get NWN up and running on our laptops. Smith Hold should be visible in a few minutes. If anyone happens to be online let me know if you can see it.

Thanks,

Looks like Throbble accepted the invitation. I've made you all mods.

Cool thanks! I think it just took awhile for Steam to get its shit together.

NWN 2 General / NWN 2 EE on Steam!
« on: April 29, 2020, 12:28:06 PM »
Just kidding.

NWN2 was such a fucking train-wreck that no one is willing to put any effort into reviving/reliving it. Sure, GoG has a "complete" version of the game but that's just a compatibility patch.

Meanwhile, not only is NWN getting a second life with an Enhanced Edition release on Steam, there is a new "official" mod for sale. Clearly, NWN 2's epic failure was fomented by a complete lack of understanding of what the NWN community was looking for in a sequel.

GodSpire General / GodSpire NWN Steam Group
« on: April 29, 2020, 12:11:33 PM »
Mercy (Yazkir) started a Steam group called "GodSpire NWN" awhile back. Join or request an invite here. (I'm not entirely sure how the group system works.)

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198032775958/groups/

Also, for Mercy: throbblefoot and Fogtreader didn't receive invites you sent. Not sure what's up with that but I'll see if they can request an invite.

GodSpire General / Re: Godspire Enchanced Edition
« on: April 29, 2020, 11:19:13 AM »
Can it connect to the internet?

Well... internet/LAN would be the easier way, otherwise the only thing i can think of would be an HDD case... and considering you say it has floppy disk  it will most likely be an IDE HDD... dunno if you can still get those... or if youre lucky enough for the motherboard to have a SATA port to just attack another HDD to it.

So, here's the problem:

T = throbblefoot
F = 420
# = HD

T1 = throbble's current HD (no GS chars)

T2 = throbble's old HD on old compy w/ cat-5 (coax) and a CD burner (all throbble's GS chars)

F1 = 420's current HD (two GS chars WTF!?)

F2 = 420's old HD (all 420's GS chars)

The compy with T2 can be hooked back up and, presumably, connected to the new internet provider. Alternately, I can use the CD burner to transfer less than a meg of files to T1. Either option requires moving a lot of shit around and temporarily reclaiming a power outlet or two. (Still in a 100-year-old one bedroom apartment after all these years.)

As for F2, it is inside my current compy but, because of the case I have, I can't quite get the data and power cable to connect with all the other shit in there. So, I need to open my compy, disconnect F1 and connect F2 then copy those files to a mem stick and switch them back.

It's been on my Steam wishlist since it was announced. Still no "planned release date". Not even a range like, "Sometime in the 2020s".


Never heard of the developer/publisher Larian Studios. I wonder if any of them were involved in the original titles.

Yes! I was there aswell, bit nostalgic talking about the old times, and the randomer trying to attack us, calling mo a hacker... xD

I heard about it, sorry I missed it. I've been on a couple times but I'm currently playing through DOOM Eternal, the new quests in the Fallout 76 Wastelanders expansion, and collecting the new sets in Diablo 3.

I've only been able to locate a couple of my PvP characters and none of Throbble's. I believe all the NWN character files are intact on one of these old computers stacked next to my desk. The question is, how do I get the files from a PC with no USB port to a PC with no 3.5" floppy drive?

Is the server online 420? I haven't seen it in the list recently. I've been playing pretty regularly.
I try to keep it up every day from around 7 am - 10 pm Pacific:

Type: Role Play
Server: ThrobbleServ
Module: Smith Hold

Let me know if you can (or can't) see it, I haven't been able to test it on our new ISP.

Hey y'all, hope everyone is safe and healthy out there. We're not locked down out here just yet but I think "shelter in place" is coming soon. Good thing I've been sheltering in place naturally for years.

Same here. I think most people are having a hard time isolating themselves but Throbble and I are in our element: minimal human contact, work from home, new cat to entertain, lots of games to play. All in all, the apocalypse is looking just like what we prepared for all our lives.

Currently playing:

DOOM Eternal
Fallout 76
Diablo 3 Season 20 (New sets for the Barbarian, Wizard, and Witch Doctor!)

EDIT: Hope everyone is well!

Uh, if you had visit logs you would see that I had been on there two or three days in a row!

I take it back. Looking at the database, several people, including you, have logged in since we brought the server back up in April. A lot of repeat players, same account name but different character names, which implies they are probably taking advantage of the leveling/crafting systems. Five players started the Purple Dragon quest, though, after some testing I think the quest may be too hard for level 1 characters (even though it scales).

Throbble and I will make an effort to be more active then and I'll go back to work on finishing the 9th (final) PDK questline.

PC: Fallout 76

Mobile: Looney Tunes World of Mayhem

Nintendo Switch (Christmas Present for Throbble and me): Diablo 3

Tried to install Zelda on the switch but not enough space to install it AND D3 so we're waiting for a micro sd card in the mail.

The Smith Hold NWN:EE server is still up (almost) daily but no one ever visits.

ThrobbleServ / ThrobbleServ is Back!
« on: April 04, 2018, 12:03:07 PM »
Downloaded and installed Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition through Steam last night. Beamdog, the publisher, has enabled a server matching system similar to GameSpy. (Looks just like the old interface.)

That said: Smith Hold is back up and running!

I need to test the server to make sure people from outside our local network can access it. If anyone has the new NWN:EE please see if you can join the server.

Server: ThrobbleServ
Mod: Smith Hold
Type: Social
Current IP: 192.168.1.238:5121

Hope to see everyone there,

Was entertained to see that someone threw a googly-eyed basket over Balthazar's head at this shrine to the 6 gods though.

Ha! Good stuff. I don't play the game but it's good to know those kinds of things can happen.

Throbble got into the Diablo 3 closed beta test for the Necromancer on Friday. We're both sleep deprived from staying up all weekend. Fucking cool. (Helped us avoid Bay to Breakers too.)

Zombidle - Been consistently playing this since I found it on Newgrounds a month ago. It's pretty sweet.

Tried it. Fun for about 30 minutes.

My D&D campaign is going well.

Are you the druid?

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided!

Amazing graphics, classic Deus Ex gameplay, and the end of the first mission and the subsequent intro movie had me saying "Oh fuck!" throughout. Good times.

IN his lip? Never had that problem. I also don't get issues with my front lower teeth, I'm not sure what you have to consume to cause issues there, but soda isn't it, the drink usually passes over them and hits the back teeth. Unless you're a swisher... why the fuck would you swish soda? haha My front bottoms are my best teeth, pretty much pristine, even.
Front bottoms get the most stains from coffee drinkers. I don't drink coffee so I haven't had that problem.

I went in to the dentist today (standard cleaning), and she told me her husband got an infection in his lower lip that swelled up and covered his upper lip. "He had like two lower lips." He's now using kid's toothpaste because it's less aggravating. She said the Aim kids toothpaste works.

I still play every now and then. I used to log onto Throbbleserv every so often, but it hasn't been up in some time unfortunately. :(
I can bring it back up if you'd like. I stopped running it when no one had logged in for a couple years. (Also, I realized I was posting the wrong IP address for awhile.)

Let us know...Meanwhile this Stardew Valley game looks pretty fun. Might pick it up when it goes on sale.
DOOM was fun but it was just team deathmatch, no single player, and only a couple maps.

There is a leveling system that allows you to unlock special consumables like placing an icon on the player that killed you that you can see from anywhere on the map. Reminded me a lot of Quake 3: Team Arena.

Throbble got a game on Steam called The Talos Principle last weekend for $10 (it was 75% off). Reminiscent of the first person puzzle games like Myst.
