I found myself searching and extracting music from various games last week. Some tracks appeal me cause they are nostalgic to me, other cause they are just jewels to listen to.

Some games I found nice things in:

Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun
Earth 2140
Total Annihilation
Homeworld: Cataclysm
Baldurs Gate: Throne of Bhaal
Lomax
Doom
Doom II
Guild Wars: Nightfall
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Unreal Tournament[/li]

And I'm looking for suggestions. Good soundfonts are welcome too as some games use midi files.

Also, if you ever wanted to have a piece of music from a game you own on your playlist, but can't get it out the game, be sure to tell, maybe someone knows how.

Good points of the old server were it technical parts (as well scripting as hardware/software), the amount of newbies that rejoined and kept playing on the server, just the amount of players, and that the server was simple.
To play it boiled down to:
-don't random, stay nice (common sense)
-500k limit - no resist - no immumes (you can use the generic stuff if you don't get it)
-run into the first big and only door you see, and you're where you want to be, and want to stay.

And if you ask me what happend to the old GodSpire... Talon stopped hosting, and I think a few poeple did a nice job blowing up the rest of a good server, without themself realizing it. Changing back, to match the old GodSpire, stopping with changing it all the time, and giving new players (newbies) a warm welcome, is probably what can keep GodSpire from dieing.

On another note: When Talon came in the other day, he mentioned that he was the one who created "Xen's Portable Stool". Mo, Xen, if this is true, I ask you to change it. It's slightly disrespectful to leave it as "Xen's Portable Stool" if it should be "Talon's Portable Stool."

:rofl:

Anyway, nice post (Hell's too), and I'm happy to see Talon isn't completly death
Sigh, I miss a lot of the old players. Anyone saw Raven? Or Ludo...  
I bet Cab still doesn't knows where his nwn-cd's are.

Seems like my IP is blocked or something. It's just from today, I could acces the server fine before. Maybe Mo can take a look at it? (I'm using a server in the us to get on right now)

Btw, using 1000 as port is a bit weird, usual they don't use ports under 1024.

I added the old posts in here again, origenal the posts were spread over 3 subforums. Because there are not much topics and posts, I added them all in this subforum of WoW General.

The layout was like this:

World Of Warcraft
|
|--    WoW General
|    (Anything and Everything on WoW. Discuss all the tactics in this new MMORPG.)
|
|--    WoW Horde and Alliance
|    (Which side are you on? Discuss tactics and strategy here.)
|
|--    WoW Characters
|    (Discuss all builds and stats here.)

I hope the forum will be usefull

I wonder what skin poeple like the most, knowing it can help me to look at what I can improve (if it's needed). All suggestion related to the look and feel of the site may go here too. There a load I could do, I just don't know where to start.

All other idea's are welcome in the feedback forum.

-Mel

I moved everything inside a subforum, password is the same for the subforum. If I should change the name or description of the subforum, tell me. Same in case of the passwd, if you can remeber the passwd, look in your pm's or ask a other clanmember.

I'll take of the passwd on the subforum doriath in godspire when requested here.

I quote the post whit the request of a subforum:

The advancment topic is gone. It was no longer of any use. The roster does have inappropriate content in it so i would make a copy of the roster only to put for public viewing. Maybe one or two  topics would become private.

If someone is willing to create a sub-forum in the sub-forum that is passworded i would move all the topics.

If anything is wrong, all changes can be undone again.

I'm running arivs on a other machine. It's complely different from the normal machine I used to host. I'll not let that run 7/24 because it's huge poweruseage + I can't miss that thing.

-Mel

Just had a nice kernel panic on the arivs server.

This isn't anything fatal to the server as I only have to restart it. But I somewhat dislike that it crash and I want to sniff a bit around on it to see what I can do. Maybe reinstalling/reconfigurating stuff.

Other words, arivs will be down (as the server isn't hosting)
I'll post here when it's back running. If you really die of not having the server up, you may post that too

Poeple can join slaughterhouse or justbehaves server (or who know, gs, if it gets up)

note: slaughterhouse isn't finished and need some work, as I did get in a char whit 134 ac that has only 83 on arivs/gs.

-Mel

Pitty I did forget to take a screen on the best of them, but this is what I get when I play.

Nr 5 and 6 are almost at the same moment btw. The best bug of it shows up when it attacks whit those weapons. You can always ask me to show what it does

Holy avenger should work like this recording to the games manual:
-- for paladin --
--> +5 enhancement bonus
--> 1d6 holy damage (doesn't say only vs evil in the manual   )
--> onhit dispel
-- non-paladin --
--> +2 enhancement bonus

How it works in nwn:
-- for paladin --
--> +5 enhancement bonus
--> 1d6 holy damage vs evil
--> onhit dispel
-- non-paladin --
--> +2 enhancement bonus
--> onhit dispel

The dispel onhit for non-pala's seems a problem to some poeple, changing it will probably have the item property nerfed below the +2 enhancement bonus for non-pala.

I like to know what others think. Myself, I not really care about it. It helps against acid sheat for other classes and doesn't unbalance. And it's not changed on gs.

Feel free to give a comment why you vote for something.

New patch out, I'm waiiting for the linux client to get out of beta to upgrade. I hope they didn't break as much as they did on every other patch...

If you recompile any scripts that use these scripting commands, you will need to update your scripts to use the new (proper) functionality.
- Fixed an issue with GetSpellSaveDC() returning the DC of any new spell cast (or feat used) by the creator of an AOE spell when called from within the AOE's heartbeat script (rather than returning the DC of the originally cast AOE spell).
- Extended the scripting command EffectHeal(), so that it now also works on doors and placeables.
- Fixed a couple of issues with the ResistSpell() scripting command:
    - First issue occurred when it was called from within an AOE heart beat script after the caster had cast a new spell since casting the original AOE spell, the AOE spell could stop working under these conditions (it should now work properly).
    - Second issue was with the spell immunity check not returning the proper result when called with the caster object specified as an AOE object.

I like the idea of it, about starting duel whit some more restictions. But I don't like how negatif poeple act to hiders and so because they can use hips. They can be as fair as any other build in a duel. And some just generalize it by saying they all suxx. (just taking hiders as example) I useual don't use wof/harm/conseal/damage spells while I can, because hips on it's own already makes the char fine enough, my idea behind it is, if they can spot me I use somthing else, if they counter that, I use a other things and so on. How closer the duel how better. Just a example again.

I think a load of poeple in gs already try to make duel as close and fair as possible. That start whit: "
we will prolly use the farm area for us legit duels" sounds like, "the others are illigal", really didn't like that. (and yes maybe i'm the only one who understood it like that) Anyway, if they idea is to have fair duels, i'm for it. If it's to start a guild that see themself as better and can't stand poeple who use other things, nothx, but it won't be that, no?

note: Anyone knows a good way to chill down? I really need that I think.
