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!

Sweet.

I'm downloading the update. GodSpire should be updated later tonight.

Mo · « **Reply #4 on:** June 14, 2005, 10:34:40 PM »

GodSpire should be updated and ready to go.

Let me know if there are any problems.

420 has been waiting for her eyes to glow for a looong time...

mother fucking hell...it keeps failing...is there an .exe of JUST the patch i can d/l from somewhere?

Mo · « **Reply #14 on:** June 15, 2005, 04:52:30 AM »

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

Dark Jimbo · « **Reply #15 on:** June 15, 2005, 07:46:16 AM »

"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

Dark Jimbo · « **Reply #16 on:** June 15, 2005, 07:49:37 AM »

"Sneak/Death attacks now properly respect the Pale Master's Deathless Mastery feat."

Sounds fun

ok, so i just started reading the fixes, hehe

and what's funny...

We do not want topics about any of the BioWare games in this particular forum--this is strictly for help with the web site. This means:

NO topics about CD keys for NWN. Instructions are given very clearly in this sticky and in the NWN support area.
NO topics asking for installation instructions.
NO topics about game crashing.
NO questions about walkthroughs, cheats, etc.
[span style=\'font-size:21pt;line-height:100%\']NO topics about patches for NWN, KotOR, or any other game.[/span]
ain't that just fucking nice of them...WHERE THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO POST THE [span style=\'font-size:21pt;line-height:100%\']RIGHTway of supply updates...even Microsoft nows to make .exe downloadables (ie MSN Messenger) so now i get to spend all fucking day d/l -> re-d/l (cause lost connection, server rest, etc) the critical rebuild...

and guess what...I'VE HAD TO DO THIS FOR EVERY DAMN PATCH....

*and yes, i'm pissed...if i could i'd go blow Bioware's head office up right now

P.S: finally, found their damn topic about the patch...
(post here if u had ANY trouble getting the patch(i want a head count))
My Post 2nd down on page 2
btw: 50bucks says my post gets deleted....CAUSE THEY KNOW I'M RIGHT!

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!

Monk were always able to stun everything. Immunity to Mind Affecting Spells has always only available to monk class

Anheg · « **Reply #26 on:** June 15, 2005, 04:58:06 PM »

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
