Yea, but I miss her characters.... Me too! If only she would play Fade~ Fade and Nai were Jet's two greatest mentors/teachers, perhaps the saddest thing in her life (apart from the fact that the world sucks) is that neither are around anymore. I do miss my sleepless mornings with that Kitty K@ on t...

Congrats, congrats, congrats.

Nob, good to see you back on the DM side.

Ping times are decent... well, most of the time; they vary a lot within short periods, ranging from 20 - 30 ms to series of > 100 ms. I've, actually, never played NWN on a high-ping connection, I think my connection has consistent <50ms times (just guessing here), but certainly nothing above 80ms. ...

you can also set the FW to accept all incoming packets initiated by a machine behind the firewall.

Also, bandwidth and latency are different things, you have decent ping times to other things outside the LAN?

Allegedly Captcha is trivial to bypass these days Worse, professional spammers can simply pay humans to solve the captchas the bots collect. Last I saw, it was around $1.5-2 pr 1000, which makes for a lot of boards. Prices might have gone down even more by now :| Basically, captchas arre there to s...

yea, we actually ended up putting a field in our forum registration with a bunch of random questions with pre-defined answers:

"If I have six apples and give away 3, how many do I have left" sort of questions.

I think it eliminated about 99.99% of our spam-bot problem.

Poser ($100 I think?) + GIMP (GNU) + Blender (GNU - better than 3DSM apparently, but not sure if there's anything other than a linux version) Not sure what sorts of things have been added to blender - but you might even be able to do it all for free and skip Poser all together. Sorry but I haven't b...

- XP is still dependent on CR but is no longer split among the party - everyone gets the same XP as they would have gotten had they killed the creature solo (in Avlis' current XP code the XP is split evenly among all party members, so this revision will cause an increase in XP). So does this mean t...

As for there never being any Epic levels? All i could say it w00t... I don't much care for them, especially in an MMO setting, it throws the balance so far off its not even funny. I assume you wont mind if the team Delevels Dameon to lvl 20 then? :twisted: :twisted: Go further then that, let me rem...

I think they've said they're committed to one more patch. that's a great mod by the way, but it's been out for a couple months. I think Atari gave the go ahead to release it because there was such an uproar after it was announced they were stopping the premium program. I'd be surprised if they rele...

* True Seeing (namely so they take all PC levels into account).

Could you please elaborate on this, is TS bugged, or should it be based upon char lvl instead of caster lvl? Or is it screwy for PMs, holy warriors and the like?

Just curious, thx

So the maximum bonus from Spells & Gear to a skill is +50, am I correct that bonuses from stats, feats (alertness, stealthy, skill focus, epic skill focus, etc), and racial abilities (elves, gnomes, et al) all stack in excess of 50? I couldn't find a clear answer for this anywhere, but have seen che...
