I have NWNLexikon myself but with the description of this function I am as wise as before. Nevermind, I just forget about my idea  

Hmmm if a thread isn't closed, so why should we stop posting?   As long as we are in free countries and we are free to say what we think, we can add it here  
but I won't waste my time anymore on this board. So you guys can cool down!  

ok if u have a problem with the sents pm a dm or make a thread in the sents section of the lm.  and i dont see why this was brought back after a month

[snapback]23107[/snapback]

you didn't read any of my posts did you?!   but I don't really care  
any thread which is not closed by an admin can be brought back to life but I assume you know that and it doesn't need your understanding!  
So if you have any problems with it then don't read or post here and use your time more efficiently on threads that seems to be more important to you  

Go to this link and download the "Dance Club.mod" file by Bioware. It's a demo mod showing examples of how to change tile lighting in-game.

Thanks, it's a funny module but it containts a load of scripts, many of which I don't understand at all   it's fun but no help *sigh*

in fact I only need to know how to use GetTileMainLight1Color and SetTileMainLight...
Just need a small example how to get a certain tile

I read the whole, thing, just so you know. If you have a problem with a sent or sents. Then post it in the sents forum. There is more than one reason for the removal of Mel. Mo had his reasons, if he doesnt wish to tell you them all, then he doesnt have to. Its as simple as that.

[snapback]23064[/snapback]

If you would have read the whole text then you would have noticed that I wrote "... but I don't have to understand everything"   and that would have made your post quite useless!
And if any sent abuses his powers or even randoms then I still won't post it here. It's not my job to do that, it's the job of the owner or host of the module to watch his sents and DMs. I do the same with our module so it can't be so hard  

Hmmm okay I'll add my opinions and questions to this discussion (even if I don't fully understand everything that is being said - hey I'm german but my english is much better than your german LOL) I recognized this thread today so I appologize if I am not fully up to date  

Okay it seems to be about mel. I don't care if she is a girl or a boy, doesn't matter to me! When I first met her on GodSpire I think she was sent and our first encounter wasn't a good one   As far as I remember I was randoming her and I was pretty mad because I couldn't do any damage to her character  
Whatever happened she didn't loose her temper and she gave me a new chance everytime and that's more you can expect from any other sent on GodSpire.
Then things went better and I played by the rules. Time passed and some of you know that Morticia gave up Antes and Alkti was trying to rebuild it. I rejoined Antes and we tried to create a homeworld for our clan (now called a "tribe")
As you may know it has become what is now called the legitBehave or JustBehave-Server   The rules are very similar to those on GodSpire and still lots is different there.
It would not be the same without her continous help. She tried to find bugs and helped us with lots of scripts. One day I asked her if she want to be sent because I found her very reasonable. She never did anything that would have caused any troubles or problems or whatever so things were going very well.
All of our tribe members who know her respect mel! Okay why do I post all this here? I met mel some days ago and she told me she was going to be less online as usual and may even stop playing nwn   So that was very sad news, because I got very used to her presence and I don't know if I would like NWN the same way I did before when she wasn't there...
I can't understand why someone is removed as DM only because he is less online on the server as he used to be. I thought there were more than one DM so it shouldn't be a problem if someone has some other important things to do in RL.
By the way, by all that power every sent on GodSpire possesses, why do they need a DM???  
Well, i know things are changing as time goes by and there is nothing you can do about it. But as mel said, there was a time GodSpire was much better as it is right now.
I am not the only one who thinks like that.
For me Mo is a bit hard to understand why he acts like that to mel but well, I don't have to understand everything  
It's sad that players like mel are treated like that and others (now I'm thinking of some sents which I won't mention here) who are doing a bad job as sent are not being treated for that.
Ok, right now I don't know what I should add to my post. I just wanted to add some of my thoughts to the board...think about it what you want, do with it what you like...
Whatever will happen to you mel, I really hope to see you once in a while! It'll bring some warm sunrays in my nwn-world!  

Thanks for your help 420!  
Another question:

Is there a way to increase the spell's save dc?

Because it seems that nearly every creature or player saves succesful everytime doesn't matter what kind of level he is  

I just noticed I already added a line for will save check:

if (!/*Will Save*/ MySavingThrow(SAVING_THROW_WILL, oTarget, GetSpellSaveDC(), SAVING_THROW_TYPE_MIND_SPELLS))
is that correct?

and who is this Invizible420 ??
Is that another name of you 420? Or is it someone other??

Oh and there seems to be no effect on the hostile creature when the spell fails due to a succesful will save. Do I have to make an extra efect for that?

I found this version of a timestop-spell and i like it

But I want to have a "fair" timestop so I have to add a saving throw, may be will save. How do I do that? And can someone show me where I have to add SELECTIVE_HOSTILE so that this spell will only affect hostiled targets??
Thx!

Mo, it seems most of us think we should try this portal idea.
So let me know what I have to do to create this link.

It's better to have a small pc, maybe even without fans, to run the server. Less power consumption, less heat, less noise. It costs almost nothing anyway, you don't need a case/keyboard/ect on it, a small pc with a 0,6-1,6ghz processor and 256-512 ram is more than enough for a nwserver. (I don't recommend 166mhz, I did run nwserver on that, but GodSpire sized things really need more)

About linking the servers. It's a nice idea, but it would be even better if it wasn't centralized on 1 single server. If that one goes down, then all links are gone at once. Each server should make it's own little hall of portals and link to the other servers that participate.

Btw, 420, you want to replace gamespy by something better? (probably your ultimate dream, you don't like lamespy I think )

Buying extra hardware is not an option at the moment. I don't know where to place a second computer, and the extra money for buying it is also a problem atm. I have more important things to spend my money on.

LMAO, nice reference!

@Gwyd - I did'nt know you lived in an apartment!!!! O_O No wonder why you always talk about "sleeping quarters" instead of bedroom etc. lol

[snapback]22036[/snapback]

Hmm I guess I used a wrong word. I have a living room, a bedroom (where my comp and my bed is) a bath-room and a kitchen.
But I don't want my comp to be in the living room so the only place for it is in my sleeping room

About the dungeon.  You need to go there with a party og at least 3-4 players.  It's not ment to be solo'd

[snapback]21920[/snapback]

I wonder how often it would happen that a small group of 3-4 players are going to the dungeon. Everytime I'm there I am totally lonely but may be it's just me...

what kind of pc you use cuz well I hosted a server on my pc and I had up to 30 people on my pc and didn't experience any lag on it nor did the people on server.
I use a 2.8Ghz AMD athlon
512mb-ram
internet connection is: 255KB/sec (average)

[snapback]21921[/snapback]

Look Razor idc about the specifics of your Computer because it doesn't change anything on mine. It's just the way it is and I can live with that!
Btw, there won't be any hardware change on it too so it doesn't matter if I give you any details.

If you people would like a portal in GodSpire linking to your server let me know and we can arrange to build one in the Hall of Portals.

[snapback]21560[/snapback]

btw, this hall of portals is so hard to find do you think anyone will travel there???
Those portals need another location or no one will ever use them.
Why don't you place them anywhere near the main fighting arena?
Oh and please do something about these monsters in the dungeon. They are so hard to hit it's no fun at all to go into that dungeon
