I felt motivated to reinstall NWN today.  It's finished, but I had trouble updating - I think I've found the fix, which just finished.  I'm about to test it out.

420 and Throbble still log onto Throbbleserve. I have been playing The Old Republic a lot, and Crimson: Steam Pirates on my iPad lol.

Hey Guys. I would love to host Godspire if Mo still has the mod and is willing to let me do it. It would be lots of fun for like 4 or 5 of us :). Would you please let me do it Mo?

It's not really for me to decide.  It would be a community vote.  Also Talon would need to be involved as well.

When was the last time we heard from him?

Anyway, after spending some 200-400+ hours each on Brink, Deus Ex, Saints Row, and the Diablo 3 Beta. I'd be willing to take a break and let off some steam (no pun intended) by getting back some old-school NWN PvP!

BTW, Throbble and I are still working on the final PDK quest for Smith Hold. (We just got distracted for a bit by new games.)

I work graveyard. 23:00-7:00 So the times I used to be on in the middle of the night and early morning, I will now be at work, except for weekends of course. Although I will likely be working some Friday nights/Saturday mornings as well. I already have everything installed, it's just a matter of "sparing time." Although, if I am playing something on the 360, and not the computer, I could still be present, but that's assuming anyone else is around, which is unlikely.

Title: Re: reinstalled

I would host it as well. I've got a nice 15 mbps connection. I just don't have the mod. And I have trouble getting mods to appear in the server listing.

Well, as long as throbbleserv is up, we can use their arena.  If I recall, it's almost identical to the old GS rules.

While the GodSpire rules are listed in Smith Hold's arena, I don't actually filter peoples items. So you are on the honor system as far as item rules go.

I remember posting an OnEnter script way back that filtered items based on GodSpire rules. Can't seem to find it though.

I was on last night, but only for a few minutes. It was late and I was tired. But I will be on again later tonight! :D I have to make a new character though, all mine are gone.

I think we should put it to a vote. It would be really nice to have GS up and running again. Especially since we have willing hosters.
Title: Re: reinstalled
Post by: Soul Sojourner on February 24, 2012, 09:20:57 AM
GS is not a mod. It's a community.

Where we gather isn't really of importance, if the rules, abilities, scripts, etc. can be mimicked somewhere else, great. If not, oh well.

I do agree with Hell honestly. It's not as if we couldn't all associate on 420 and Throbble's, Throbbleserve. Or even work together and make a small new mod just for a GodSpire reunion. :)

If you still have  GS certifiable char then the Smith Hold arena will do. You have to play honor system for the few things GS filtered. I would like to see God Spire again if only for a little while.

I think you missed the point; which was not that we don't do it because we're all here on this board, but that the location with which we do it, (original GS mod or otherwise) doesn't really matter.

I have fond memories of my days in the Antediluvian server, the Arivs server, Throbbleserve, and of course Godspire version 1, 2, 3, 4, and 869. When it was huge, before it was added to, after it was added to, etc. etc. Even Elessars little home away from home; but seriously, should we put up each and every one because of some fond memories and lingering attachment, or does it really even matter as long as what is left of the community is present? I think Throbbleserv will work just fine, or whatever. I'm more concerned with the when, because I'm not going to bother unless there's a time in mind, as I'm likely to be ALONE. lol.

I do agree with Hell honestly. It's not as if we couldn't all associate on 420 and Throbble's, Throbbleserve. Or even work together and make a small new mod just for a GodSpire reunion. :)
That was exactly what I meant, thanks for clearing that up.

Good to see Ser Red, Elessar, and Mercy! Had some good duels, fought some GS monsters, and generally fucked around. Good times!

For some reason I only transferred one of my GS characters from my old computer. I'll get the rest this week sometime. I was also experiencing a really low framerate, but I think that may because I need to set NWN to run on a multiple core processor.

I was cleaning up my desktop and meticulously putting files into their corresponding categories, directories, sub-directories, so on and so forth when I stumbled upon some old NWN screenshots. I may have shared them in the past or perhaps not, but it has otherwise been a long time so I thought I'd share them now.

Man these bring back memories.

The first two are of a house I made with gold in the halls, I remember others being around commenting and occasionally helping.

The last one is a screenshot Mercy took in Angband and then later modified and sent it to me over messenger if I recall.

ThrobbleServ still hosts Smith Hold in the Social channel. (7am-midnight PST) and we are still working on the 9th and final Purple Dragon Knight quest (in between playing Brink, Deus Ex:Human Revolution, Saints Row:The Third, and the Diablo III beta). I'm also designing an arena for Smith Hold that will use GodSpire-style item filters.

If I see you on I'll make sure to log in and say "hi".
