Holy Moly check this out, they finally fixed the one thing I have been asking Bioware to fix from the beginning!

Quote
# Extended the glowing monk eye effect to work on all the default playable races.
# Neutral monks now get ultra cool purple glowing eyes.
# Fixed placement of glowing monk eyes on Human/Half-Elf females (much thanks to the DLA team for their help with this).

I can't wait to see 420 with her cool new purple glowing eyes!

-420


EDIT: Some more tasty tidbits
Quote
# Fixed an issue that was causing creatures to always face east when sitting on a stool placeable (plc_x05.pwk).
# Cure spells now do DAMAGE_TYPE_POSITIVE to undead rather than DAMAGE_TYPE_NEGATIVE (nw_i0_spells.nss).

Ha ha ha I fixed that second one on Throbbleserv over a year ago!

Try downloading the 1.66 Critical Rebuild (http://content.bioware.com/neverwinternights/patch/NWNEnglish1.66HotUUpdate.exe).

Yes Bioware seems to be having some problems,  This is what happens after a game has been out for 3 years and all the original staff are on to other projects.

I just let my Update program keep on failing and after a little bit it finally found the right file to download.  Stupid thing

"Immunity to "Mind Affecting Spells" will no longer make you immune to the Monk's Stunning Fist attack."

ooo this sounds interesting, especially when stunning-monks fight each other, hehe

1. Khadgar, stop trying the update button and try this link dammit!

2. Anheg, you may have partially upgraded, you can try the critical rebuild for 1.65 to revert fully back then try 1.66 again.

3. Last night was a ton of monk vs. monk stunning fist duels! Monk duels are now MUCH shorter than before. YAY!

Tyr was right, I DLed the wrong patch, but It still will not let me because it says

Quote
The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus.

You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED).

I am kinda frustrated but I have yet to do 420's idea so that will be my next move

Hmm... my stunner will be that much more lethal? Interesting... Teehee
Say does anyone still have 1.65 installed? I need the NWMain and NWServer... I scewed up awhile back and didn't back them up, I had to install a hotfix for 1.65 to play through the SoU campaign... and I thought I had backed them up but I guess I didn't... It seems I need those to update to the new patch... and reverting doesn't work... *sigh*

that link doesnt work, at least for me.

edit- N/M it took me about 3 trys but I finally got it.

edit2- 420 your idea worked perfectly. If anyone can not dl 1.66, re-dl 1.65 and then update. It worked for me first try.

Well, it seems that this patched fixed all the "little issues" that Bioware couldn't be bothered to fix before. Hell, female human and half-elf heads would probably still be messed up if DLA didn't fix it for them.

I think fixing a lot of minor problems actually made the entire game that much more stable! Should have been done a year ago!

Too bad it isn't like kd or summin... hey thats a good idea, perhaps change daze to kd? or even stun? I mean kd, would stop them from running from you etc. plus (i have seen this one too many times) it would stop the sarcastic trouble maker from running in between duels while dazed. argh. Hey didnt they use kd on Arivs? I dun remember tho.
